From Roaring Engines to Gentle Whispers - The Electrification Journey of Indian Railways in 2025 Have you ever remembered the loud roar of an old diesel train? In the past, when a train sped along the tracks, you could hear its deep rumble from far away. The sound of the engine, the shaking of the carriage and even the scent of diesel made every journey an adventure to treasure. Today, when you step onto a modern train you may hardly notice any noise at all. The… |

Floaty: A Skydiver Robot That Flies in a Wind Tunnel While a skydriver falls from the sky or when a starship adjusts its position, they use air resistance to steer. This mechanism is used by this Floaty, a skydiver Robot made by Youtuber and researcher as a part of his PhD research which flies in a wind tunnel. Floaty has flaps that tilt and adjust the air dynamics while floating, like how a skydriver spreads or tucks their arms and legs… |

Making Ballbots More Stable with New Adaptive Nonlinear PID Controller System Ballbots are a fascinating type of robot that can move in any direction, but controlling them is no easy task. Traditional controllers, like PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative), struggle to handle these balancing issues, while more advanced methods can cause instability and excessive movements. A team of researchers, led by Dr. Van-Truong Nguyen from Hanoi University of Industry,… |
