Robot Industry Blog

I’d like to welcome you to SynthIAM – in beta mode.
A community website designed to support initiatives of DIY robot builders and the EZ-Builder software. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be continuing to add new website and software features that will help you build the robot of your dreams!
Thanks for the quick feedback ! I imagined a lot of things except obliterating chars.
I guess is more a technology choice and not a formatting / usability issue, unicode is highly availabl although handling Hebrew or Arabic right-to-left can be an usability issue
I rarely write stuff with acute accents (US keyboard), so is not an issue for me.... maybe an issue for your Quebec (French) neighbors.
Thanks for the support.
So no more AI translating Portuguese to Spanish
Instead of creating bookmarks in my browser...how about a "Favorites" button that will save those under our account? It could be anything we would like to save there like threads or most used controls in the manual etc.
Anyone else think this would be a good idea or of value?
Sometimes users post links to interesting robot articles or deals on mini-PCs or other useful robot parts or just post about ideas that are not yet robot projects, but are not really questions either, just topics of discussion. There doesn't seem to be a good category to start these in. They aren't questions, new robot projects, controls, live events or tutorials. Closest I would use now I guess is question, and I would just add "What do you all think" to the end of the post, but that feels like cheating

.....every piece of EZ hardware is there. Open sourced. Confused. Could this mean no more manufactured products from EZ Robot? It makes since in regards to everything that Synthiam has been doing...creating robot software that supports so much hardware..(and growing daily). Hopefully you can shed some light on the situation.
We always hope for the continued success of everyone we have supported and rallied for at both EZ Robot and Synthiam.
EZ-Robot is a separate company, and no one from Synthiam is part of EZ-Robot. Synthiam supports many hardware platforms, including Raspberry Pi, Robotis, Arduino, and EZ-Robot. You can contact EZ-Robot for hardware related questions on their website at www.ez-robot.com. EZ-Robot is not owned by Synthiam and has no ties other than they use Synthiam's software. EZ-Robot was acquired by National Robotics and runs as an education company to prepare students for careers in STEM related fields.
Synthiam is a robot software platform company. Our software (EZ-Builder) works across multiple hardware platforms. Think of it as Microsoft Windows. And think of the hardware as the computer Windows runs on. Microsoft is not responsible for making DELL laptops; just as Synthiam isn't responsible for EZ-Robot's product. Synthiam is the software that robot companies can use to control their robots. And, specifically technology products in form of skill controls. You can see skill controls in the product page of this website. Those are partners of Synthiam who we help make their technologies available to be used by robot builders, like yourself.
As for open source GitHub repo with hardware and software by Synthiam, it's all open sourced. Anyone can manufacturer it, including EZ-Robot. Before, the hardware that EZ-Robot created was limited to just their manufacturing ability. However, due to EZ-Robot having a strong focus on education, many products didn't get manufactured. That led Synthiam to open source the hardware for you and others to build. The partner team is having discussions with some well known DIY suppliers that will be manufacturing the hardware. The open source products on Synthiam's GitHub are reference designs for companies to build from - or for you to make at home.
