    Tal Raviv has Claude drive a SunFounder PiCar-X around his house

    Tal Raviv connected Claude to a SunFounder PiCar-X through a terminal on its Raspberry Pi, with camera photos as feedback. The robot saved notes, learned gentler turns and a three-point turn, and spent about 15 minutes parking at a filing cabinet instead of 20 cm from the door. The post embeds an edited demo video.

    Claude Code agents build a tilt maze game on a PIC24 Curiosity board and debug its I2C driver

    Ori Grossman built a tilt maze game on a PIC24FJ256GA705 Curiosity board with Claude Code agents, an ADXL345 accelerometer and a 96x96 OLED. One agent drove the board's debugger through MPLAB's mdb command line and traced an I2C driver bug that dropped queued bytes. The README has a photo of the game running.

    WLKATA MT4 arm gets new firmware, vision pick-and-place and an MCP server for LLM control

    Sigurd Enghoff replaced the WLKATA MT4 desktop arm's stock firmware and built a vision and MCP control stack on top. His ATmega2560 firmware runs Cartesian moves on the arm, ArUco markers calibrate a fixed camera, and an MCP server takes requests from Claude Code or Cursor. Linked videos show the arm stacking cubes and following typed instructions.

    Saras 2.0: a Raspberry Pi 4 rover that runs Claude Code as its brain

    Tech With Anant rebuilt the Saras rover around Claude Code running on a Raspberry Pi 4. A small MCP server exposes the motors, encoders and camera as tools, and a CLAUDE.md file sets the robot's identity. An LD06 lidar handles obstacle detection. The 24-minute video shows the rover in a live test, driving toward a named object around obstacles.

    Claude Code helps fine-tune GR00T so a home-built SO-101 arm drops a block into a cup

    Claude Code wrote serial scripts for the STS3215 servos of a self-assembled SO-101 arm and fixed GR00T N1.6-3B fine-tuning errors for a Japanese maker. It set motor IDs, showed live gripper values and ran training over SSH on a DGX Spark. After 97 recorded episodes, the post's GIF shows the arm placing a block in a cup on its own.

    Claude Code builds a DENSO robot arm control system in 4.5 hours

    Norihide Mikami used Claude Code with Opus 4.7 to write a Flask control system for a DENSO six-axis arm in one 4.5-hour hackathon session. It drives the arm over b-CAP, an IAI electric gripper over Modbus RTU, a 4K Basler GigE camera, a webcam and a PS5 gamepad. The three-minute video shows the system running.
