How MIT's Aerial Microrobots Fly as Agilely as Insects Engineers from MIT have developed aerial microrobots that are roughly 450% faster with about 250% better acceleration in comparison to prior demos. “We want to be able to use these robots in scenarios that more traditional quadcopter robots would have trouble flying into, but that insects could navigate,” said Kevin Chen, an associate professor at MIT. The robot's controller is… |

AI Trash Cans That Can Trash Talk and Chase Garbage A Chinese DIY studio, tired of its messy workspace, decided to take smart cleaning to a whole new level. They went ahead and built 20 AI-powered trash bins that can detect, chase, and catch flying garbage, all while giving you lip if you miss. The team gave the trash bins cameras, embedded AI models to recognize thrown objects, and motors for movement. When a piece of trash flies… |

A Robot That Picks Locks Using Physics, Not Sight In an ambitious experiment, a creator built a robotic lockpicker that can identify internal lock pins without a camera. It relies on force sensing and Hooke’s Law. This improves on previous versions of the project that took a brute-force approach, which cost up to a week trying every possible pin combination. The new version uses RC servo motors for quicker movement and mounts… |
