Guy builds AI driven hardware hacker arm from duct tape, old cam and CNC machine

AutoProber is an open-source hardware automation stack that uses AI agents to autonomously identify and probe individual components on circuit boards. Built from a DIY CNC probe, camera, and microscope, the system guides an agent through calibration and scanning workflows to generate annotated maps of board features. The release includes Python control code, web dashboard, and CAD files with built-in safety considerations for hardware machine control.
