Munich, Germany – 20 May 2026 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) expands its CoolGaN™ BDS 40 V G3 bidirectional switch (BDS) family with two new devices, the IGK048B041S and IGK120B041S. The new additions reduce PCB footprint by up to 82 percent and cut component count in half. For engineers designing within the strict spatial constraints of modern smartphones,…
A revolutionary neuroscience robotics project called SpikerBot is creating excitement among technology enthusiasts, engineering students, and STEM researchers across the world. Developed by Backyard Brains, the innovative platform combines neural signal processing, embedded systems, robotics, and bioengineering into a single interactive learning experience. Recently launched on Kickstarter,…
Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space has received INR 105 crores from the Government of India's Research, Development & Innovation Fund (RDIF) to develop Project Garud, a 500 kg-class communications satellite platform intended for constellation-scale deployment. The grant was formalised on 13 May 2026 in New Delhi, during the inaugural Enterprise Technology Evaluation agreement signing and first…
Most infrared night-vision systems are limited to relatively short distances mainly because standard IR LEDs spread light too widely to be effective over long ranges. Curious about the practical limits of infrared imaging, the independent engineering channel Project 326 developed a custom-built system aimed at long-range nighttime observation. The system combined a modified low cost…
Chinese robotics company Unitree has launched the GD01, a giant pilotable mecha robot priced at $650,000. The Hangzhou-based startup, known for producing humanoid and four-legged robots, revealed the product in a promotional video. The company confirmed to WIRED that the GD01 is a real product available for purchase.
The GD01 weighs 500 kilograms and is capable of walking, crouching,…
A development team recently built a custom long-range livestock tracking system designed specifically for farms located in mountainous regions with poor cellular coverage. Instead of relying on standard GPS trackers that require 4G connectivity, the project uses a private LoRa-based communication network to help farmers monitor cattle positions in real time. The complete setup consists of…
Maker Strange Inventions has built a water-based digital clock in which 60 small bottles act as individual pixels, collectively forming numerals to display the time. The bottles, sourced at 10 cents each, brought the total project cost to approximately $580. Each bottle is filled or emptied with dyed water to switch its pixel state on or off, with the display controlled by a microcontroller…
A new DIY laser projector project from breq.dev is getting attention in the maker community for mixing old-school vector graphics with modern embedded hardware. Built by Brooke Chalmers and Mia Kiesman, the system uses a pair of galvanometer mirrors to steer RGB laser beams and draw graphics directly in the air. Instead of using a normal display panel, the projector creates smooth vector-style…
A Youtube channel named UncleStem has taken DIY robotics to a completely new level by building a giant obstacle-avoiding robot powered by a fully functional oversized Arduino Uno. The project recreates a classic Arduino obstacle avoidance robot at seven times the original size while still maintaining real working electronics inside. From giant DC motors and oversized jumper wires to a massive…
Leviathan Engineering, a tech-focused YouTube channel, has recreated Rocky from Project Hail Mary as a real AI-powered robot by combining mechanical design, on-device speech recognition, and modern AI that responds in real time. The robot runs on a Raspberry Pi 5 (4GB RAM) and uses 10 MG996R servo motors for movement.
A major part of what makes this build impressive is the software…
Researchers at Aston University have developed a new AI-based robot training approach aimed at reducing the long-standing “sim-to-real” gap in robotics. The work focuses on improving how robots transfer skills learned in simulation into unpredictable real-world environments, where differences in material properties, sensor noise, and physical interaction often cause systems to fail despite…
CHANDLER, Ariz., April 28, 2026 — As the industry embarks on the transition to post‑quantum cryptography (PQC), Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) is expanding its portfolio of Trust Shield, PQC‑ready devices with the TS1800 Platform Root of Trust controller and the TS50x secure boot controller. The devices are designed to help system architects address emerging cybersecurity mandates,…
