Magnus Effect Drone Flies, Looks Impossible | Hackaday
By now we’re all familiar with the quad-rotor design most popular among modern drones, and of course there are many variants using more or less propellers and even fixed-wing drones that can …
The Santa Monica City Council has unanimously voted to order Waymo to halt overnight charging operations at two outdoor depots near Broadway and 14th Street after months of resident complaints about constant beeping from reverse sensors, noise from charging equipment, traffic congestion and flashing...
The artificial intelligence boom, which has brought techies flocking back to the city, has fueled a resurgence of live — and sometimes futuristic — events.

Fraunhofer's high-speed logistics robots may steal humanoids' thunder
Early humanoid robots probably won't be able to do much that Fraunhofer's self-balancing evoBOT can't do much faster, and its new autonomous, omnidirectional O³dyn pallet jack looks like another slam dunk for logistics and warehousing.
Toyota upends robot learning: New AI masters complex tasks in hours
"We've had a bit of a breakthrough." Toyota, MIT and Columbia Engineering have shown off wild results from a new AI learning approach that massively accelerates how quickly robots can acquire new skills. It looks like a ChatGPT moment for robotics.
New algorithms for trajectory planning and control of fixed-wing “tailsitter” aircraft are faster and more efficient than traditional quadcopter drones. The algorithms, developed at MIT, can execute challenging maneuvers and are so efficient they can plan complex trajectories in real-time.
Columbia Engineers Create Highly Dexterous Human-Like Robot Hand That Can Operate in the Dark
Columbia Engineers have created a groundbreaking robot hand that seamlessly integrates advanced touch sensing with motor-learning algorithms, allowing it to manipulate objects without relying on vision. Consider the actions you take with your hands when you're at home in the evening using your TV
