This Open-Source 1.2 m Humanoid Runs on a Raspberry Pi 5 and a Radxa CM5, and After a Year of Building It Is Now Walking in Public Most humanoid robots you see walking on stage are closed products with closed software. Asimov 1 is the opposite. Menlo Research, a team in Singapore, has published the full mechanical CAD, electrical schematics and PCBs, simulation models, firmware and walking policy for its 1.2 m, 35 kg humanoid, and on day 366 of the project the robot was out in public at the SWITCH event in Singapore,… |

This Giant 3D-Printed Wheel Writes Endless Scrolling Text With Black and White Marbles, After 30+ Hours of Testing Marble machines usually stop at clocks, with a fixed number of digits and a fixed amount of space. Ivan Miranda wanted a display that never runs out of room. His new Marble Scroller is a huge 3D-printed wheel that writes text in black and white marbles using a 7x5 pixel font, lets each line roll off the other side and then recycles the same marbles to write the next one. It can do uppercase,… |

Two Eyes, One Tiny Chip: This Open-Source Board Computes Stereo Depth So Your Arduino Doesn't Have To Hardware hacker machinehum (Rootkit Labs) has built 4reel, a small open-source stereo vision board that gives robots depth perception without a Raspberry Pi or a PC riding along. Two OV9281 global-shutter cameras sit at either end of the PCB, and the depth maths runs on the board's own Rockchip RV1103 chip. Your Arduino or ESP32 just reads the results over UART. Powered by a single-core 1.1… |

This ALBATROSS Robot Uses a Teensy 4.1 and Autorotating Wings to Land on Water and Sail With Wind Power Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have developed ALBATROSS, a robot that can descend from the air, land on water, and then sail using wind power. Its name stands for Airborne Lander with Buoyant AuToROtating Sailing Sensor. The robot is designed to carry sensors to remote lakes, reservoirs, and other water bodies that are difficult to reach by boat. When… |

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… |

This Autonomous Submarine Uses DVL Sound Waves for GPS-Free Underwater Navigation and Exploration CPSdrone is building a DIY autonomous submarine to explore shipwrecks without needing GPS while underwater. Since GPS signals cannot reach the submarine underwater, the team added a Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) to help it navigate. The DVL sends sound waves toward the seafloor and listens for the signals that bounce back. By measuring how the sound changes as the submarine moves, it can… |

Ball-Balancing Robot Uses a Mirror to Stay Compact; Pi Handles Vision, Leaves Motor Step Timing to 3 RP2040 Chips MirrorBallBot, an open-source ball-balancing robot from a maker using the GitHub handle AndreaFavero71, looks at its platform through a mirror rather than from above. The camera sits to the side and points at a mirror inclined at 27 degrees beneath the platform. The author says that, for the same camera and robot height, this widens the field of view by 58%, which allows a larger platform… |

Two Bicopters Linked by a Cable Use a Motorized Winch and Sensor to Transform Into a Quadcopter Mid-Air Researchers led by R.Wang have developed a transformable aerial robot made from two small bicopters connected by a cable, allowing the system to change its shape and interact with objects without using a conventional robotic gripper. Each bicopter uses two brushless motors with tilting propellers, while the cable itself acts as the key mechanical component. One aircraft carries a motorized… |

A Tiny Robot Hides Inside a 3.5-mm Poker Chip to Cheat at Roulette With 433 MHz Radio and a Custom PCB Kevin Coda of Concept Bytes Youtube channel built a tiny remote-controlled robot inside a poker chip for Mark Rober's CrunchLabs casino challenge. The project turns a standard poker chip into a miniature mobile robot that can move across a roulette table after receiving a wireless command. To make room for the electronics, the chip was hollowed out using CNC machining and its internal steel… |
