A smart recycling kiosk: a camera and AI vision classifier identify a piece of trash, tell you which bin it belongs in, and reward correct sorting.

An LED truss controller: a FastAPI server that drives addressable LED strips with a library of animated effects, controllable from a smart-home dashboard.

A tangible tabletop interface: motion-capture rigid bodies tracked in real time and projected back onto the table as live digital graphics.

An automated on/off switch: a Raspberry Pi drives a servo to physically press a hardware power button at boot.

A wearable swarm control system: sensor gloves and a haptic vest that command a multi-robot swarm through gestures over ROS.

A desk robot that combines a six-axis arm with a mini projector — point at an object and it understands, generates and draws.

A tangible DJ interface: motion-capture gloves and live audio drive a projected fluid-simulation visual, turning the DJ into both performer and performance.

A plant-care robot: wireless soil and light sensors plus a depth camera feed a light-path planner that guides a plant toward the light it needs.

A smart-home projector controller: a Raspberry Pi bridges RS232 serial commands to MQTT so a projector can be driven from a dashboard.

A tangible game table: physical pieces tracked by motion capture, a board projected onto the surface, and game state secured on a blockchain ledger.

Interactive in-browser visualizations of 13 core robotics concepts: kinematics, ROS, vision, control, planning, and more. Built as a live companion to the SST Robotics & Automation course.
