The Robotics and AI (RAI) Institute has developed the  Ultra Mobility Vehicle (UMV), a self-balancing robotic bike capable of navigating challenging terrain and even jumping onto high surfaces. Reinforcement learning (RL) is playing a key role in helping robots adapt to complex situations and perform better.

Unlike traditional…

Vodafone is set to showcase a range of innovative technologies at Mobile World Congress (MWC25) from 3-5 March 2025. The company will present 30 products and services that integrate advanced connectivity, climate-based data and AI-driven customer experiences. Among the highlights are partnerships with industry leaders such as Microsoft, Aduna and Save the Children,…

Water scarcity remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, particularly in dry regions where access to fresh water is a constant struggle. While traditional solutions involve drilling deeper wells or implementing inefficient fog nets, a new approach leveraging high-voltage physics could revolutionise water collection. In a new experiment, Jay Bowles from the Plasma Channel tested…

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Salesforce have announced a strategic collaboration to drive digital transformation in the manufacturing and semiconductor industries. The partnership combines extensive industry expertise of TCS with Salesforce’s leading customer relationship management capabilities. By leveraging artificial intelligence, cloud technology and…

A YouTuber has developed a combat suit featuring a spinal battery system designed for improved power efficiency and reliability. The system includes voltage regulation, overcurrent protection, and cell isolation to prevent damage from physical impacts.

The suit incorporates an "ideal diode" circuit using MOSFET-based switching…

Ballbots are a fascinating type of robot that can move in any direction, but controlling them is no easy task. Traditional controllers, like PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative), struggle to handle these balancing issues, while more advanced methods can cause instability and excessive movements.

A team of researchers, led by Dr. Van-Truong Nguyen from Hanoi University of Industry,…

We have seen cyberdecks built around Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers, but this is the first time we’ve come across one powered by dual RP2040 chips. In a recent video, Abe from Abe’s Projects presents a compact cyberdeck using the Pimoroni PicoVision, a board that combines two RP2040 microcontrollers—one acting as a CPU and the other as a GPU—to drive an HDMI display. This setup…

A fully automated micro-lab has been developed to measure ammonia concentration in blood and urine. The system provides frequent and cost-effective ammonia testing, addressing the limitations of standard medical coverage.

The micro-lab uses the Berthelot reaction, which detects ammonia through a color change. Instead of the…

Clone Robotics, a company operating in the United States and Poland has introduced its latest innovation Protoclone V1, a bipedal musculoskeletal android. This prototype is designed as a synthetic human that replicates key aspects of human anatomy with precision. The design incorporates a faceless structure and is built to simulate human movement through advanced…

Thermal imaging is commonly used in industries like security and diagnostics, but it also has applications in computer vision. Unlike regular cameras, thermal cameras detect heat, making them useful in low-light conditions. In our past projects, we explored thermal camera applications and worked on computer vision projects like license plate recognition and face recognition. However,…

A team of researchers from EPFL School of Engineering  and The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have created a tiny, ultra-light swimming robot that could help track pollution, study aquatic ecosystems, and monitor water quality in delicate areas like coral reefs and lakes. These robots move and swim like tiny migraine flatworms with its soft, undulating fins.

Smaller…

An electronics hobbyist has made, Gus 2.0 a desktop companion that monitors air quality, temperature, and humidity. It features expressive eyes that visually indicate room comfort by adjusting eyelid positions based on sensor data.

Powered by the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-C3, this companion integrates a Grove Air Quality Sensor, DHT22…
