10 kits to get you started on the Internet of Things and hardware hacking
Kits designed to help you get started on making your own gadgets without getting bogged down in technical detail.
Bots on display at this year's CeBIT trade show offer a glimpse of the machines that may soon be part of our lives.
Tinkerbots are designed to let kids build robotics ants, diggers and other creations.
Tinkerbots blocks snap together like Lego and are simple to control. Finished bots have a record-and-play function that allows kids to teach the robot what to do, while older users can program them using the language C.
Developed by graduates from the Bauhaus University of Weimar in Germany, the aim of the bots is to teach children about 3D movement and robotics through play.
