A unique experimental clock created by soiboi soft is gaining attention for its unusual way of telling time. While it may look like a fully air powered system, the design actually combines pneumatic logic with electronic control. Instead of relying only on circuits and chips, the clock uses air pressure to form its display, while electronics handle precise timing and control, making it a…

The field of soft robotics has taken a significant leap forward with the development of electrofluidic fiber muscles by researchers at the MIT Media Lab. Traditional robotic actuators depends on bulky external reservoirs, heavy compressors, or noisy pneumatic systems, which limit their mobility and integrations. These new fiber muscles solve this by utilizing thin McKibben actuators driven by…

Creator Xshift has designed a fully custom, modular sim racing dash box inspired by LEGO-style expandability. The idea is to create a button box where components like switches, encoders, and displays can be easily added or rearranged using magnetic mounts..

The enclosure was 3D printed and post-processed to achieve a clean finish, while the front panel was laser-cut from acrylic and…

This is Pocket, an AI assistant built by Naz Louis. The goal of this project is to run AI models completely on a Raspberry Pi 5. Since Pi 5 comes with limited resources, what he did is instead of running a large model directly on Pi 5, he made a collection of light weight models and made them work together. He designed and deployed a routing setup that routes different tasks to the right…

Robotics just got a whole lot more exciting and a whole lot more accessible. Petoi's Bittle X V2 is a palm-sized quadruped robot dog powered by the BiBoard V1, a custom ESP32-based board that packs serious intelligence into a surprisingly compact frame. With nine degrees of freedom delivering smooth, lifelike movement, an interactive back touch sensor that literally responds when you pet it,…

Maker MagmaBow has unveiled a high-density security development board that challenges the traditional "one sensor, one device" model. Built around the powerful ESP32-S3 module, the project successfully integrates eight distinct sensors including thermal IR, Time-of-Flight distance tracking, and dual accelerometers onto a single, compact PCB. By consolidating these components into one footprint…

What if an RC car could make you feel like you’re actually sitting inside it? That’s exactly what creator kpopRC has built with his latest FPV Jeep crawler. Instead of a fixed camera, the system uses a servo-powered “lean-out” rig mounted in the driver’s seat position. This allows the camera to physically extend out of the window and move with pan and tilt controls giving a true driver’s…

As the global transition toward industrial automation and smart living accelerates, the security and processing efficiency of microcontrollers (MCUs) have become decisive factors for enterprises to succeed in the business-to-business  market. Nuvoton Technology, a leading provider of microcontrollers, proudly announces the launch of its new NuMicro® M3331 series 32-bit microcontroller.…

Hardware developer and Maker Salim Benbouziyane has created an open-source, fully functional 6-DoF (six degrees of freedom) navigation controller, offering a DIY alternative to commercial SpaceMouse devices used in CAD and 3D modeling workflows. Designed for tools like Fusion 360, Blender, and KiCad, the controller allows users to pan, zoom, and rotate 3D objects simultaneously using a single…

Effective tomorrow, India will ban the sale of CCTV cameras that don’t conform to the Essential Requirements introduced by MeitY in April 2024. Major players, Hikvision and Dahua, have failed to meet the Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification standard. The government is reportedly not certifying cameras that run on Chinese-made chips. 

The broader goal appears to be to…

Researchers have developed a small autonomous drone inspired by how bats navigate in the dark. Instead of relying on cameras or LiDAR, which often fail in fog, smoke, or low light, this drone uses ultrasound-based echolocation. It sends out tiny sound pulses and listens to the echoes that bounce back from nearby objects. By analyzing these echoes, the drone can estimate the distance and…

Turkey-based defense company Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi (MKE) introduced a kamikaze unmanned surface vessel (KUSV) called the PİRANA. This crewless drone boat’s designed to attack enemy ships and other coastal targets. It approximately weighs 1,200 kgs and is capable of speeds greater than 50 knots, which is roughly 93 kmph.  

In June 2025, a key capability was demonstrated:…
