This is a simpler, more beginner friendly version of the original SmartKnob designed to make smart haptic controls easier to build and understand. By removing much of the complexity found in earlier designs, this version is easier to assemble and supports more motor options, making it an approachable project for hobbyists and first time builders alike.
Kokensha Tech redesigned the…
A small do-it-yourself desk robot named Mo-chan has been shared with makers, demonstrating how individuals can build simple robotics and electronics projects on their own. This project uses an ESP32-C3 microcontroller, small DC motors, an OLED screen, and a motor driver to create a robot that looks nice and functions well as a companion for a desk.
The robot is constructed using a metal…
Las Vegas, United States, 7 January 2026 – Quectel Wireless Solutions, an end-to-end global IoT solutions provider, today announces the launch of a new-generation smart robotic computing module, the SH602HA-AP. Based on the D-Robotics Sunrise 5 (X5M) chip platform and with an integrated Ubuntu operating system, the module features up to 10 TOPs of brain processing units (BPU) computing…
If you've been following the world of portable pentesting tools, you know the Flipper Zero reigns supreme. But for the makers among us who prefer "built not bought," a serious contender has arrived. Creator CiferTech has just released the ESP32-DIV V2, a completely open-source, multi-band wireless testing toolkit that aims to be a more accessible and customizable alternative to commercial…
Silanna Semiconductor entered a strategic franchise partnership with Avnet, which will offer both technical design support and go-to-market assistance. The collaboration is in effect in the Americas and applies across the entire Silanna Semiconductor product portfolio, including the Plural 10- to 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and the FirePower ultra-efficient laser drivers.

Late-night infant care often leaves little room for precise or repeatable routines, which makes even simple tasks feel demanding. Addressing this reality, Manivannan has created a DIY edge-AI system that automatically starts a bottle preparation machine when a baby’s cry is detected. The project, shared through his YouTube channel MakeTinyML, focuses on augmenting an existing appliance rather…
Munich, Germany – 02 January 2026 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) and Flex take the next step in their collaboration to accelerate the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). At CES 2026, they will launch a Zone Controller Development Kit—a modular design for Zone Control Units (ZCU) engineered to fast track the development of SDV-ready E/E architectures. The new…
A developer named Martin Devido took a different approach and experimented with an idea in which an AI named Claude was given full responsibility to take care of a tomato plant without any human intervention or support. Ever thought it was possible? The results now give the answer as “Yes”, because the AI has taken care of the tomato plant for the past 38 days without any human support.

At CES 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang presented Rubin, the company’s first “extreme-codesigned” AI platform. The new platform should reduce token-generation costs by roughly 90% versus its previous platform. This Blackwell successor, now in production, is named after astronomer Vera Rubin.
The platform includes Rubin GPUs capable of 50 petaflops of NVFP4 inference, Vera CPUs designed for…
The next generation of computer chips may not come from factories on Earth, but from satellites circling the planet. A UK company’s successful test of a 1,000°C furnace in space is bringing that futuristic vision closer to reality. Space Forge, a startup based in Cardiff, Wales, has confirmed that its microwave sized orbital furnace was successfully switched on and reached the temperature…
The xcc700 is a very small, lightweight C compiler designed specifically for the ESP32 microcontroller. It is like a mini version of GCC or clang, but this system has some limitations. Instead of generating Windows .exe files, it produces ELF binaries for the Xtensa CPU, which is the processor architecture used in ESP32. Because it is so small, the compiler itself can run on the ESP32 and…
When robots face tight spaces and unpredictable terrain, most machines come to a stop. Researchers at the University of Genoa’s RICE Lab are changing that with Porcospino Flex, a bio-inspired single-track robot designed to go where traditional wheeled or legged robots fail. Inspired by segmented invertebrates, it features a flexible 3D-printed vertebral column made from ABS and TPU, allowing…
