Humanoid robotics has officially entered its pole dancing phase.... This prototype performs a choreographed full body sequence while gripping a fixed support pole and moving on a rotating platform. The hip knee and torso coordination is interesting. But the rig also means this is not proof of unsupported balance or autonomous locomotion. Serious motion control experiment or attention engineering?show more

If you watch the latest Optimus dancing video in... slow motion, you’ll notice that it’s not just dancing, but it’s hopping and balancing on one foot. Also, the string in the back isn’t even holding Tesla Bot up! This level of dynamic balance and control is EXTREMELY difficult to achieve for a humanoid robot. What Tesla is doing right now with Optimus is years ahead of what people realize.show more

Who are you drafting for your robotic starting eleven?... ⚽️🤖 Both Booster Robotics and Boston Dynamics are showing off serious capabilities ahead of the World Cup. While Booster’s new T2 is building on a championship-winning RoboCup pedigree, Hyundai is proving the electric Atlas can handle complex full-body coordination and dynamic balance in real time.show more

No this is not a tornado...This video captures a... scud cloud interacting with a slow-moving updraft along the leading edge of a storm's outflow boundary. While local terrain can sometimes generate minor, localized circulations or "gustnadoes" in these areas, the rising motion here is far too slow to be tornadic. This visually intimidating feature is just a normal part of storm dynamics and is not a tornado.show more

Engineers: “This is a breakthrough in soft robotics.” Twitter:... “Bro built an AI vibrator.” 🤦‍♂️ Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark created a soft robot that moves by inflating and contracting its body like a worm. Jokes aside… robots like this could actually be useful for rescue missions and environments where traditional robots fail. But let’s be honest: you already know what most comment sections are going to talk about 💀 🎥 Media: SDU Soft Robotics ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics(X-Humanoid) just closed a... massive 700M RMB ($97M) funding round. 💰🤖 They’re also teasing the "TienKung" 3.0, coming off the back of some wild performance milestones from their current fleet. ➤ The Funding: Backed by big names like Baidu and Beijing’s AI Industry Fund, this round shifts the center from R&D into serious commercial scaling. ➤ Proven Track Record: Their "TienKung Ultra" already bagged the first-ever humanoid half-marathon and holds a 21.5s 100m sprint record. ➤ Industry Ready: Their TianYi 2.0 platform is already hitting the floor in factories and warehouses through partnerships with companies like Cummins and Bayer. ➤ What’s Next: This cash is going straight into making their "TienKung" and "HuiSi" platforms fully autonomous and ready for real-world labor. It’s clear they aren't just building lab projects anymore—these bots are headed for the assembly line.

Halo: Combat Evolved VR Mod Out Now! This is... a big one... livingfray has released a VR mod for Halo: Combat Evolved (the original, not the MCC) His mod includes full 6DOF, synced eye rendering, motion control support and more!show more

Huawei's new 3D lock screen wallpaper is actually pretty... interesting. Unlike iPhone's Spatial Photo, which creates a fixed stereoscopic depth effect from a photo, this lets you scan an object 360°, generate a full 3D Gaussian Splatting asset, and use that as your lock screen. Tilt the phone and you're moving through a reconstructed 3D scene, not a fixed stereo image. The part worth paying attention to: 3D capture moving out of creative pipelines and into everyday phone personalization. That's a different kind of adoption curve.show more

This is a baby at 10 weeks. He or... she is moving around, full of life. Not a “clump of cells,” but a human child with unique DNA and a right to life. The abortion pill kills babies like this one. They are starved to death and flushed like trash. Ban this deadly drug now.show more

Such interesting flight paths and a lot of tight... turns 😉 This is not normal, this is geoengineering! But I'm sure all the aviators and meteorologists will have something to say in the comments, explaining why this is completely normal and how we all failed physics or science..show more

The most interesting part of this robot is not... the arm. It is the gripper. Instead of pushing the whole robot faster, this setup adds speed at the end effector. The gripper itself becomes a moving axis that can accelerate independently of the arm. That changes the physics of the system. • Faster cycle times without stressing the robot structure • Less inertia to fight against • Motion where it actually matters, at the tool center point It is a reminder that many performance limits in robotics are not solved by bigger motors, but by smarter mechanics. ——- Weekly robotics and AI insights.

🚨 JUST IN: New footage has been released of... a United 767 CLIPPING a light pole and a delivery trucks while landing at Newark Airport This could’ve been SO much worse. Thank God it wasn’t. The delivery driver has also been discharged from the hospital after suffering minor cuts from the incident. Runway 29, which is the runway flight 169 was landing on, is infrequently used and is on the short-side for a 767, per reports.show more

If you like River City / Kunio Kun, you... should check this. This is a project I've been following for a while, and helping with technical support, and finally a demo has been released. The combat is frantic – which is good – but the difficulty is quite high. The possibility of mounting a fallen enemy and punching him is a lot of fun, haha. Full video and downloadshow more

China is scaling humanoid robotics at an insane speed.... Super realistic robots from Ex-Robots are now reportedly entering mass production 🤖 - Not prototypes. - Not lab experiments. - Actual production. The biggest shift happening in robotics isn’t just intelligence anymore. It’s making robots look and behave socially acceptable around humans. And honestly… we’re reaching the point where some people may not immediately realize they’re talking to a robot. Exciting future or uncomfortable future?

**Traditional Engine Order Telegraphs:** The bridge unit and the... engine-room unit are connected by two chains (or wire cables) that run through conduits over sprockets, forming a continuous loop. When the bridge officer moves the handle, it turns a sprocket that pulls the chain, which in turn turns the corresponding sprocket and pointer in the engine room. This classic system does not require electricity; it relies on a direct physical linkage, ensuring that both dials always mirror each other. Here’s a typical sequence of operations: The bridge officer grabs the handle and swings it to the command position, for example, "Half Ahead." This movement not only moves the engine-room pointer but also rings a bell or gong to alert the engineers. The engineers then adjust their own handle to match the position indicated by the bridge officer; this movement serves as an acknowledgment and rings the bell back on the bridge, confirming that the order has been received and understood. Only after this acknowledgment do the engineers work the throttle and reversing gear to carry out the order. It is common practice to first execute a full sweep of the handle, moving it all the way to one extreme and back before settling on the actual command position. This exaggerated motion serves two purposes: it rings the gong loudly and unmistakably, ensuring everyone is aware that a new order is coming, and it checks that the mechanism and chains are not stuck or slack. On some ships, this full sweep also signifies an important or urgent change (such as switching from ahead to astern), emphasizing to the crew that they need to pay attention because the situation is critical. After completing this sweep, the handle is adjusted to the desired position. This telegraph is from the Steamship Shieldhall (video credit as well). Go check her out onshow more

The Pelvic Whip👇 A Big League pitcher’s pelvis can... rotates faster that 900 Degrees per second To maximize that speed with proper timing, many of our athletes and coaches like the feeling of keeping the pelvis closed THEN Exploding! BUT, if the front side groin is tight, the lead leg will just drag the pelvis open which is a much slower version of pelvic rotation To get around this, some guys land in a valgus position (Knee Caved in) on the front leg since you don’t need full Adductor Range of Motion to do this. And Some step across body which can also work around this. This Test / Exercise To see how your groin affects your pelvis, hold your knee out while performing this exercise. You will know immediately if this affects you or not! 👊show more
