The hinge mechanism in Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold2 is an interesting engineering solution. The foldable screen needs a certain amount of curvature; otherwise, the screen can break. The hinge uses a special CAM structure with two ridge-shaped parts that interlock in stages, helping keep the device unfolded for Flex Mode. The Galaxy Z Fold2 also has stronger retention force, keeping the device unfolded at 180° and preventing it from accidentally closing. Because of the larger form factor, the Fold2 uses more CAM structures and springs than the Galaxy Z Flip, while still maintaining a small and intricate design

It blows me away to think that in the 18th century, tiny screws could be made by forcing a plain steel rod through a screw plate, such an ingenious manufacturing process.

I still find this machine genius... I can't stop thinking about it. The stepped drum, invented by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz around 1673, stayed in use for nearly 300 years. A single rotating cylinder with staggered tooth lengths solved the entire problem of variable counting. I was looking for a good animation of the interior mechanism to explain it...this one shows really well how the stepped drum converts the set digit into rotation through its gear-and-drum setup.

Ghost Circuits… Machines That Think Without Code. What if intelligence doesn’t come from code at all? Computing comes from the tunability of materials and geometries. I sit down with Thrishantha Nanayakkara to share his journey of writing Ghost Circuits, it took him five years.

Rosheim Joint.... a linkage-heavy wrist / spherical joint with a ±90° range of motion, developed in 1989. A brilliant invention by Mark Rosheim, often overlooked, Shoutout to David Kindlon at Apple for bringing this to my attention, must-know for anyone into robotics design!

Claude is ~2 years old now with spatial awareness. The original Cursor idea was CAD autocomplete, but a CAD kernel is fairly complicated, and there’s also a lack of CAD data.

Cams act as the mechanical memory of the machine.. Jacques de Vaucanson realized that by placing hundreds of tiny, precisely shaped cams onto a single rotating cylinder , he could create a complex mechanical code I wish we had been introduced to cams differently back in college

Humanoid robots aren’t just an AI problem. A lot of it is a body problem and materials science. My conversation with Jerry Pratt Persona AI .. worth watching if you’re building humanoids.

New generation of Constant Velocity Joints from Hoki Joints... Their unique internal geometry reduces friction and minimizes vibration, and the joints are shown via a 3D model in PTC CREO Parametric with kinematic analysis. Interesting to see another player in the joints space!
