"Is it going to rain, or should I leave the windows open?" we would have asked ourselves numerous times. Now the weather is clear, but sometimes the rain will suddenly start pouring. The standard weather forecast application may give you accurate forecasts near the airport or other places, which are kilometres away from us, but it will not give us accurate forecasts…

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…

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…

Infineon Technologies AG opened its Smart Power Fab in Dresden on July 2, 2026, several months ahead of schedule, according to the company. The plant represents an investment of five billion euros, the largest single investment in Infineon's history, and creates 1,000 new direct jobs. The facility doubles Infineon's manufacturing capacity at the Dresden site, making it the world's largest…

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…

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…
