Hello! Iâm Larry Grodinberg, the mind behind Automated Curiosity. If youâve ever felt equal parts amazed and overwhelmed by AI breakthroughs, smart-home gadgets, and the rise of robotics, youâre in the right place.
Earlier this year I took the reins of Automated Curiosity, eager for a dedicated corner of the internet where I could document every late-night Arduino experiment, smart-home hack, and robotics rabbit hole I tumble into. By acquiring the site, Iâve turned what was once a dormant domain into an open lab notebook, one that invites anyone whoâs equally fascinated by AI, home automation, and tomorrowâs tech to learn (and occasionally fail) right alongside me.
Why this site exists
Automated Curiosity was born out of a love for technology, automation, and robotics, and a simple belief that you donât need a Ph.D. to follow (or shape) the future. Iâm not an industry âguru,â just a hands-on learner who wanted a friendly space where complete beginners and curious tinkerers can explore:
- AI concepts and tools that are already changing how we work and play.
- Smart-home ideas that make daily life more efficient, secure, and fun.
- Robotics trends, benefits, challenges, and projects that are reshaping society.
- Step-by-step guides that turn intimidating tech into approachable weekend builds.
My own path has been pure kitchen-table tinkering, piecing together RadioShack robot kits in the late â90s, teaching LEGO Mindstorms bricks to shuffle across the floor, soldering Arduino boards that blinked more than they computed, and wiring up small home automations like smart locks and DIY security cameras. None of it came from formal training; it was all trial, error, and late-night curiosity about how things work and what tomorrowâs devices might let us build.
