We are thrilled as a proud sponsor of the highly anticipated Soccer Bot competition, hosted by TMU Innovation Boost Zone. This exciting event celebrates the intersection of robotics and sports, bringing together innovators, enthusiasts, and future engineers from across the city. The Soccer Bot competition is more than just a showcase of robotic prowess—it’s a platform where creativity and technology meet to create something truly extraordinary. This event invites teams to design, build, and program robots to compete in a thrilling soccer tournament. Each team’s robot must navigate the field, strategize, and score goals, all while overcoming the challenges posed...

This summer, students at Canada Robotix have embarked on diverse and ambitious projects that highlight their technical skills and creativity. These projects range from designing sophisticated electronic devices to enhancing green energy solutions and improving web platforms. Here's a detailed look at their innovative endeavors.   Kevin's Project: Wireless Tool and PCB - Lock-in Amplifier   Kevin has been working on a project named the Lock-in Amplifier, designed to capture differences between a reference wave and an offset wave. This device is particularly useful for isolating specific signals from background noise in electronic devices. Traditional lock-in amplifiers are costly, but...

From May 18 to 19, the Ontario Science Centre hosted an exhilarating robotics event that brought together various robotics groups from across Ontario. Canada Robotix was invited to set up a booth and engage with the Centre's visitors, fostering interaction among several distinguished groups, including participants from Kitchener, Hamilton, and Toronto. The diverse array of groups comprised a high school robotics team, a robotics retailer (Canada Robotix), a robotics educator, a robotics consultant from Service Industrial, a hobbyist group famed for their Star Wars drones, and representatives from IBM.   A Showcase of Cutting-Edge Robotics     The event featured an...

At Canada Robotix, we are always thrilled to see technology intersect with art, creating immersive experiences that captivate and inspire. That's why we are excited to share the story of Mochoid, a breathtaking light-based art installation now for viewing in Trillium Park at Ontario Place. The Artist Behind Mochoid: Steve Mann Before we delve into the installation itself, let's take a moment to appreciate the creative maker behind Mochoid: Steve Mann. As a professor and inventor renowned for his pioneering work in wearable computing, HDR imaging, and smartwatch technology, Mann is a leader in contributing to the world of innovation....

Why bother watering your plants manually when you can build a system that does it for you? Below is an instructional video on the process of building a water irrigation system. It shows step-by-step the components needed and how to put them together. A system like this one may be implemented on a smaller scale that being a single plant or on a larger scale say a farm. If at any point the soil is too dry, water will be distributed until ideal soil moisture is reached.  This water irrigation project can be constructed by all levels of experience, however,...
