Color sorters are among the earliest commercial robotic vision systems. Even today, many industrial systems still rely on line-scan CMOS/CCD sensors paired with FPGA processing. The reason is simple: extreme latency requirements. Materials often move at 3–8 m/s, leaving only 5–20 ms for sensing, decision-making, and actuation. FPGA provides deterministic real-time computation, but it does not "understand" the image. Meanwhile, mainstream GPU-based AI solutions still struggle to match this level of low-latency industrial performance.

A planetary roller screw looks simple, but it’s one of the key enablers for humanoid robots. It converts rotational motion into precise linear motion with high efficiency, high load capacity, and extremely smooth control. In humanoid robots, this is exactly what you need for: joint actuation linear actuators in arms/legs high-force, high-precision movement under continuous cycles Compared to ball screws, it offers better durability and load distribution—critical for robots that must operate 24/7 in the real world. Small component, huge impact. This is the kind of “hidden hardware” that makes humanoid robotics actually work.

Spent 4 months building the ultimate mosquito killer: an artillery cannon guided by computer vision + deep learning. Trained a custom model to detect and lock onto mosquitoes using a DSLR + zoom lens setup. The dataset collection phase was brutal — the mosquitoes definitely fought back 🦟

Built this 3D-printed VTOL fixed-wing aircraft from scratch. The airframe is made from ABS/ASA, reinforced with carbon fiber, and powered by an F405 flight controller with GPS-assisted flight modes. Seeing a pile of parts turn into a flying aircraft is always worth the effort. 🚁➡️✈️

This drone, made of only two sticks, four propellers, motors, a controller, and a battery, has truly reshaped my understanding. Paired with the high-tech-looking remote control, it’s incredibly fun to fly—so much so that you’ll be completely absorbed. It can be flown both indoors and outdoors. Unlike those small planes that crash after just a couple of spins, this one hovers steadily. Fly it however you like.
