RoboBee – A Flying Microbot That Can Perform Search And Rescue Missions
https://www.electronics-lab.com/robobee-flying-microbot-can-perform-search-rescue-missions/
Inspired by the biology of a bee, researchers at the Wyss Institute developed RoboBees, man-made microbots that could perform endless roles in agriculture or disaster relief. A RoboBee is about half the size of a paper clip, weighs less than one-tenth of a gram, and flies using materials that contract when an electric pulse is applied. Now, they […]

COLIBRÌ: the driver for RGBW LEDs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/colibri-driver-rgbw-leds/
Boris Landoni @ open-electronics.org designed COLIBRI, a board able to drive 4 color LEDs. He writes: Recently some multicoloured power LEDs have appeared on the market and, differently from the more common RGB LEDs, they incorporate a white LED, as an addition: they are named RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) just because of this. They […]
