Video: Affordable, DIY smart robot made from salvaged e-waste for teaching kids

An innovative robotics project called Esghati repurposes e-waste into an affordable, educational robot for students. Built from a salvaged Wi-Fi router, LED lamp diffusers, and other discarded materials, the robot features Wi-Fi connectivity, a camera, and face recognition. Users can control Esghati through any web browser without a specialized controller. The project aims to make robotics accessible to children worldwide, encouraging hands-on learning and sustainability in technology. Creator Sorush Moradisani shared open-source code, allowing for further customization and development.
