An ESP32-S3 Project Lets AI Read an iPhone Screen and Execute Actions Through USB HID Without Jailbreaking An open-source project called ESP32 iPhone Agent lets an AI model control a real iPhone using a low-cost ESP32-S3 development board. Created by Henry Yuan, the project can perform actions such as tapping, swiping, typing text, drawing paths and pressing keys. It can also return to the home screen or finish a task. The setup costs around $7 for the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3 board and does not… |

Instead of Training a Robot, He Let a General-Purpose Multimodal LLM Control It to Pick Up and Bin a Toy Harrison Kinsley, the YouTuber behind Sentdex, has shown a Vulcan Robotics Sourccey, a 3D-printed robot he calls “Chonk,” picking up a toy from the floor and dropping it in a bin with no task-specific training. In part three of his “Everything is LLM” series, published Oct 8, a general-purpose multimodal language model made the task decisions. The planning and control came from DeepSeek’s V4.1… |

Open-Source Pocket Tank Runs a 14.3M-Parameter AI Model on an ESP32-S3 to Give Virtual Fish Their Own Brains Pocket Tank is an open-source virtual fish tank that uses a small AI model to control its virtual fish. It runs on an ESP32-S3 and creates a small aquarium where fish can eat, explore, rest, follow other fish, play, and interact with each other. Each fish has different values such as hunger, energy, curiosity, stress, boredom, and trust, which can change how it behaves. The project was created… |

How to Build a Smart Wireless Doorbell System Using IoT Missing a visitor at the front door usually means missed package deliveries, keeping friends waiting outside, or missing unexpected guests. Standard doorbells only work if we happen to be sitting nearby and the chime is loud enough to hear. If we are stuck in a work meeting, listening to music with headphones, or away from home, it is easy to miss the ring, leaving… |

Build a Smart Cooker Whistle Counter Using ESP32 Almost every kitchen has a pressure cooker, but we've all had trouble handling them. It’s too easy to turn on the stove, get distracted by work, TV, or housework, and forget to turn it off. If we miss a whistle count, food gets burned, utensils get spoiled, and there are chances of accidents in the kitchen. But then again, being in the kitchen and manually counting… |

Indian Team Trains Unitree G1 Humanoid for Classical Dance Using Motion Capture and Reinforcement Learning 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,… |

He Trained a 2.9M-Parameter AI Image Generation Model, Ran It on a $1 RP2350 Chip and Open-Sourced the Project 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… |
