Arduino Robot Instructions

Jacob is the editor of Robot Instructions, where he leads a team team of robotics experts that test and tear down home robots—from vacuums and mop/vac combos to litter boxes and lawn bots. Even humanoid robots!

From an early age he was taking apart electronics and building his own robots. Now a software engineer focused on automation, Jacob and his team publish step-by-step fixes, unbiased reviews, and data-backed buying guides.

His benchmarks cover pickup efficiency, map accuracy, noise (dB), battery run-down, and annual maintenance cost. Units are purchased or loaned with no paid placements; affiliate links never affect verdicts.
