The device, dubbed Esghati, can be controlled from any web browser and is equipped with an ESP32-CAM camera with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/amazon-will-launch-interactive-robot-for-sale-that-monitors-and-takes-care-of-the-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11337\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">facial recognition<\/a><\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n<p>The initiative began as an educational tool for high school students, but quickly <strong>captured the attention of international technology communities due to its low cost<\/strong> , ease of assembly, and strong educational component. The robot&#8217;s body is built from recycled materials, such as broken LED lights, an old router casing, and recycled batteries, allowing it to be replicated without significant investment. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A complete system with recycled elements<\/h2>\n\n<p>The robot is based on an Arduino Nano and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/programarfacil.com\/esp32\/esp32-cam\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/programarfacil.com\/esp32\/esp32-cam\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESP32-CAM<\/a><\/strong> architecture, allowing it to operate without external controllers. Connectivity is via Wi-Fi, allowing the user <strong>to access the control panel directly from their mobile phone or computer<\/strong> . From there, they can view the camera, activate functions, and move the robot in real time.  <\/p>\n\n<p>To ensure mobility, Esghati uses 360-degree MG996R servos connected to wheels constructed from broken lamp parts. Power is supplied by two 18650 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/university-of-antofagasta-advances-in-the-development-of-lithium-batteries\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"55709\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lithium batteries<\/a><\/strong> connected to a power bank module. The entire assembly can be completed with basic tools, such as soldering irons, screwdrivers, and hot glue.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Esghati: a Robot Made From Garbage\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d39NgJqNWr8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">All you need is Wi-Fi and an Android phone to manipulate Esghati. Source: Sorush Moradisani <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An inclusive alternative in teaching robotics<\/h2>\n\n<p>The robot&#8217;s creator noted that the project seeks to eliminate economic barriers to accessing technical training. &#8221; <em>I wanted my students to understand that you don&#8217;t need expensive parts to create something functional and valuable<\/em> ,&#8221; Moradisani explained in posts related to the project.<\/p>\n\n<p>The program, in addition to promoting active learning, also introduces key concepts such as computer vision, Wi-Fi remote control, and microcontroller programming. All content, including source code and assembly schematics, is openly available for use by schools, makers, and enthusiasts. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Robot made from trash with educational impact<\/h2>\n\n<p>Esghati presents itself as an example of how robotics can become a tool for inclusion, especially in resource-limited settings. By reusing electronic waste, the project also promotes responsible practices regarding technology consumption and the generation of technological waste. <\/p>\n\n<p>With a simple structure, accessible components, and a solid educational approach, Esghati has established itself as <strong>an innovative initiative within the STEAM field<\/strong> . The initiative has been highlighted in specialized media for its focus on sustainability and cross-curricular learning. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social media and don&#8217;t miss any of our posts!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow\">X (Twitter)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@inspenet?_t=8qqIL6dRGNR&amp;_r=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/Esghati-a-Robot-Made-From-Garbage\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/Esghati-a-Robot-Made-From-Garbage\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autodesk Instructables<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Controlled by Wi-Fi and made from scrap metal, Esghati promotes technological education through recycling and open access to knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9014,"featured_media":246222,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13030,13058],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-247334","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-industry","categoria_noticias-robotics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/247334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9014"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/247334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=247334"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=247334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
