Developer slvDev has published an open-source project that runs a 28.9-million-parameter language model directly on an ESP32-S3, a microcontroller that costs roughly $8. The model runs entirely on the chip itself, with no data sent to a server, generating text at roughly 9 tokens per second and outputting it to a small connected display. The achievement stands out because of how little working…
Petoi, the team behind the open-source Bittle and Nybble quadruped kits, has opened early access for its next robot, Quaddle. The company describes it as a four-servo quadruped capable of walking, strafing sideways, and spinning in place, a claim that stands out mainly because of how few actuators it uses to pull it off.
Most legged robots that can…
YouTuber Plentiful Props 3D has developed a functional Spider Man-inspired web shooter that combines custom electronics, 3D-printed parts, and a servo-actuated spray mechanism to fire web-like strands from a wrist-mounted wearable. The project uses an ESP32-S3 Mini development board mounted on a custom PCB to control the firing mechanism. According to the creator, the electronics package…
Bitmerse is preparing to launch Romu, a USB Type-A development board small enough to disappear almost entirely into the port it plugs into. The project is currently listed as "Coming Soon" on Crowd Supply. It's built around Raspberry Pi's RP2354A, a variant of the RP2350 chip that pairs a dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 running at 150 MHz with 2 MB of stacked onboard flash and 520 KB of SRAM. The…
Espressif Systems has officially started mass production of its new ESP32-S31 wireless microcontroller, making it available to developers and manufacturers worldwide. The latest addition to the ESP32 family is built for demanding AIoT applications, combining faster processing, modern wireless standards, and multimedia support in a single chip. With production now underway, the ESP32-S31 is…
Chennai-based fabless semiconductor startup Mindgrove Technologies has teamed up with ed-tech company AtumX to launch AGNI, a developer board built around an indigenously designed chip, aimed at government school classrooms. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to put a domestically designed SoC directly into the hands of students rather than professional engineers.
The…
The Federal Communications Commission added humanoid robots, quadruped robots, and networked power inverters to its Covered List on July 28, 2026, blocking new equipment authorizations for these device categories going forward. The move effectively halts new imports of foreign-made robots that mimic human or animal movement, along with grid-connected inverters used to link solar panels,…
Andhra Pradesh has set up two new AI-focused facilities, one in Amaravati and one in Visakhapatnam, which began operating on July 28. The initiative comes with backing from the central government's electronics and IT ministry, working alongside the state's own IT and electronics department. Both sites will run under the…
Northwestern University engineers have unveiled Phantom Twist, a groundbreaking low-visibility UAV that exploits human visual perception to hide in plain sight. The drone spins its entire body at up to 25 rotations per second using a single motor and counter-rotating propeller system. Unlike traditional quadcopters with stationary bodies, Phantom Twist has no fixed…
The ePlane Company and Apollo Hospitals have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to bring electric air ambulances and medical delivery drones into India's emergency healthcare system. The MoU was signed in Chennai and announced at the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK. Karthik Reddy, Director of Apollo…
SpaceX launched Northrop Grumman's Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) and three Mission Extension Pods (MEPs) aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on July 21. The spacecraft is now making its way to geostationary orbit, where the servicing campaign will begin in the coming weeks. The MRV is equipped with two 10-foot robotic arms built under the Robotic Servicing of…
Pune, India — July 2026. EWskills, the Industry focused skill-building platform for electronics and embedded engineers, has announced the launch of EWsim.io, a browser-based mixed-signal circuit simulator that executes microcontroller firmware. The tool is free to use, requires no installation, and is aimed at Engineers, students, educators, hobbyists, and Makers.Developed by the team behind…
