A maker named Agam Rossen has created VolAnti, an open-source acoustic drone detector that identifies nearby multirotor drones by listening to the sound of their propellers. Unlike traditional drone detectors that look for radio-frequency signals, VolAnti focuses on the sound produced by spinning blades. This approach is particularly relevant to fibre-optic-controlled FPV drones, which send…
A maker has built a standalone 3D LiDAR scanner that turns an inexpensive rotating LiDAR module into a wireless spatial-mapping device. The scanner rotates the sensor to collect distance measurements across multiple angles, allowing it to capture the shape of objects and surrounding spaces instead of producing only a flat 2D scan.
An ESP32-S3 acts as…
The demand for low-voltage clock drivers continues to grow with the rapid adoption of advanced FinFET process nodes used in high-performance FPGAs, SoCs, AI accelerators and next-generation CPUs. Printed circuit board designers face increasing challenges due to the limited availability of standard 1.2V LVCMOS clock buffers and level-translating buffers capable of…
A humanoid robot named “Maya” has attracted attention in India after appearing on India's Got Latent, where it danced, rapped and interacted with people on stage. Maya is built on a Unitree G1 humanoid robot, but the Indian team behind the project added its own AI software, voice system, personality and custom movements. The team, associated with Tuesday Labs and students from Masters' Union,…
James Bruton has built an open-source 7-DOF tentacle robotic arm that treats each joint as a 90° rotating stage, creating a highly flexible manipulator that can wrap around obstacles and reach into tight spaces. The design uses multiple Dynamixel servos chained into a serial kinematic chain, with custom 3D-printed links and structural parts to form a lightweight, compliant “tentacle” rather…
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) introduces the TDA235E5 and TDA235E0, a dual-phase smart power stage family designed to meet the rapidly growing power density requirements of next-generation AI accelerators and vertical power delivery modules. Integrating Infineon's OptiMOS™ 6 MOSFETs and a dual-phase driver IC in a compact 6 x 6 x 0.8 mm³ package…
Ashish Agrahari, a Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, has recently built Orion, a 12-DOF quadruped robot dog designed and programmed from scratch over eight months, combining ROS 2 autonomy with custom embedded electronics. The system is split into two layers: a Jetson Orin Nano for high-level perception and planning, and custom STM32-based PCBs for deterministic,…
Generative AI image models usually require powerful processors and large amounts of memory, but a new project demonstrates that image generation can be pushed onto a small microcontroller. Tim, from Tim’s Blog, has implemented a generative AI image model on the RP2350, the microcontroller used in the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. Running on a Waveshare RP2350-Plus board, the system can generate 128×128…
The Brick Experiment Youtube Channel has built RC Submarine 5.0, a LEGO-based remotely controlled submarine designed to improve on the previous version while making underwater operation easier and more convenient. The submarine uses a 39 cm-long acrylic hull with two propellers for propulsion and differential steering, while a water pump and ballast tank control its buoyancy and depth. One of…
Maker and Youtuber, Brenpoly recently built an offline AI virtual pet that lives on an ESP32 and “gets sick” when you doomscroll too much, turning screen-time guilt into a tangible, hardware-based consequence. The project makes use of the 1.8 inch touch screen display and sensors that come integrated with the Waveshare ESP32-S3 based module to create a companion that reacts to your phone usage…
Mumbai: As India’s data centre market expands rapidly alongside growing demand for artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services, Messe Muenchen India, in partnership with dmg events, will launch AiX DataWorld 2027, a dedicated conference and platform with two editions in Mumbai and Chennai for the country’s data centre industry. The partnership announcement reflects a defining…
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of thin film chip resistors in compact 0402 and 0603 case sizes. Built on an advanced aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate, the Vishay Sfernice CHEP series combines exceptional power handling and high frequency performance in standard surface-mount footprints, allowing designers to achieve higher…
