Modded Steam Controller can automatically charge itself like a robot vacuum — enthusiast creates GitHub program that uses the vibration motor to walk it back to its docking station

Ray Foss has created an innovative program for a modded Steam Controller that turns it into a self-charging device, mimicking a robot vacuum's behavior. Using the controller's vibration motor, the program guides the controller back to its docking station with computer vision. This DIY project can be tried out via a web app with a webcam to track the controller. It's a fascinating blend of gaming tech and robotics, demonstrating the controller's potential beyond traditional use.
