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…

In modern day, the need for surveillance systems is increasing rapidly. We have a lot of recognized brands that offer such solutions. But can we extend the capabilities of a $5 ESP32-CAM module to build something similar?In this project, we are going to build an AI-Based No Parking Alert System using ESP32-CAM, in which, if someone parks their vehicle in front of the…

BrainCo, a brain-computer interface company, unveiled a Brain-Controlled Robot AI Platform at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai on July 17, 2026, according to the company. The platform allows users to direct a robot through neural signals picked up by a lightweight EEG headset, with AI algorithms decoding the signals to identify motor or control intent before…

Everybody likes weekends. On weekends, you often drive with your family to crowded places like malls, theme parks, or circuses for outings and relaxation. But then comes one of the most frustrating parts of the trip: searching for parking. Sometimes, finding a parking space feels even harder than waking up early in the morning.Even if there is a security guard or…

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup now under way across Canada, Mexico and the USA, adidas' official match ball, Trionda, is in use at all 104 matches of the tournament. Beyond the colour scheme tied to the three host nations, the ball's more interesting story for engineers is the sensor package built into it.

Trionda uses the latest version of adidas' Connected Ball Technology, built around…

Running, running, every day, we keep running to work, school, and college. In this busy routine, many of us do not even have enough time to eat breakfast properly. Then where do we find the time to clean our homes? Even when we clean, because of laziness or lack of time, we often throw all waste into the same bin without separating biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. This creates a…

If you've ever visited a science museum, an exhibition, or stumbled across a viral video online, you've probably seen those interactive sandboxes where creating a mountain with your hand instantly turns it into a colorful topographical map. Independent creator UncleStem has now recreated that experience in a much more compact and affordable form. By combining a $20…

What if a device could see the world the same way humans do, seeing objects, recognizing them, and understanding what they are in real time? Just like our eyes capture visuals and our brain instantly processes them, from bottles and phones to people and everyday items. It will be pretty cool, right? That is exactly what this Raspberry Pi object detection project demonstrates. You can build a…

As adults, it is our duty to follow traffic rules, and the most important rule is to wear a helmet while riding a two-wheeler and not to cross the speed limit. It's not a rule, but it's also for safety. Now, let’s think from the traffic police officer’s side. Their duty is to monitor traffic and check whether everyone is following the rules, but it is quite difficult for a traffic officer to…

Google For Developers recently came up with a practical demonstration of their multimodal AI model, Gemma 4 E2B, running entirely on-device on two robotic ducks built by independent maker Antoine Pirrone. The demo is called “Gemma Playground: Robot Duck” as the goal of it is to exhibit the capabilities of Gemma with the help of the robot ducks as a demonstration…

Imagine driving into a crowded parking area and not knowing whether a space is available or not. This project solves exactly that problem by building a smart, automatic parking space detection system using the ESP32-CAM and the CircuitDigest Cloud API. With just a button press, the device captures a real-time image of the parking area and sends it over the internet…
