We’ve been approaching transition from both ends - accelerating... from hover, tilting the propellers from 90 to 50 degrees, and decelerating from wingborne flight, tilting the propellers from 0 to 40 degrees, as we incrementally expand the envelope. Today’s test saw our test pilot Paul Stone accelerate in hover from 0–43 knots, with the front propellers tilting to 50 degrees - huge amount of data captured and another step forward in building real, certifiable performance.show more

What an incredible thing to see in the sky... tonight for those in Florida and the Caribbean. During Starship’s ascent burn, the vehicle unexpectedly broke apart, resulting in the loss of contact. Our team promptly coordinated with safety officials to implement pre-planned contingency measures. We will analyze the data from today’s flight test to identify the root cause. Every test provides valuable insights, and today’s flight will contribute to further improving Starship’s reliability.show more

Prompt: The camera rockets up from below jagged Alpine... cliffs in a rapid, continuous ascent, tilting down a few degrees more with every meter to reveal a thunderous gorge and glacier-fed river far beneath, until it snaps onto a lone figure braced on a knife-edge ridge, staring into the plunging valley.

She came. She shook the stage. She walked off.... Her name is Sara Ismail.👌🏾 At the convocation ceremony of Haridev Joshi University of Journalism & Mass Communication, on a stage shared with Rajasthan Deputy CM Prem Chand Bairwa. Why she said this? Read her remark - “Students from the last two batches arrived in Jaipur to get their degrees from the Governor. We were asked to wear sarees with a red border; male students were wearing kurta pyjamas and black sandals. Students from all over the state, along with their parents, arrived at the venue. After the speeches of the Governor and the dignitaries, which went on for around two hours, only gold medallists were given degrees on stage and the rest of us were asked to collect ours later. This is why we got angry and asked the administration to reconsider, and when they refused, we chanted slogans against them. Later, they gave us our degrees, but the anger was so high that I said that line. So much of our time was wasted." More power to you Sara. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾show more

LEONARDO, also called LEO, was built by researchers at... Caltech’s Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies. Its full name means LEgs ONboARD drOne. The idea is simple but unusual: • Build a small biped robot • Give it drone-style thrust • Use the legs for ground contact • Use the propellers for balance and lift • Combine walking, hopping and flying in one system LEO is basically a hybrid between a walking robot and a flying drone. How it was built: • Two lightweight legs • Three actuated joints in each leg • Four propeller thrusters near the shoulders • A lightweight body • Leg motors for ground movement • Propellers for balance, lift and aerial control • Real-time control software that synchronizes the legs and propellers How it walks: • The legs move the robot forward • The feet touch the ground like a normal biped • The propellers constantly correct balance from above • The robot can stay upright even in unstable situations • The thrust reduces the risk of falling during difficult motions How it flies: • The legs stop being the main locomotion system • The four propellers generate lift • The robot behaves more like a drone • It can take off, fly over obstacles and land back on its legs What makes it different: • It does not walk like a normal humanoid • It does not fly like a normal drone • It blends both systems • The legs handle contact with the ground • The propellers act like fast stabilizers • The control system decides how much help comes from the legs and how much comes from thrust That is why LEO can: • Walk • Hop • Fly over obstacles • Ride a skateboard • Balance on a slackline The key idea is walking with aerial stabilization.show more

It's been incredible to see neural networks working so... well on our humanoid robots Humanoids are crazy complex - an individual motor can rotate 360 degrees and you have 40+ joints. If you do the math, that means more possible robot states than atoms in the universe Figure has our own AI model called Helix that we've designed in-house. A single Helix neural network now outputs both manipulation and navigation, end-to-end from language and pixel input Every leap in machine learning has come from massive, diverse datasets. At Figure, we’re currently building the largest pretraining dataset for humanoids in history - excited to see what this unlocksshow more

Drove four hours with the tailgate down and couldn’t... use Tesla FSD. I am miserable from having to drive manually all day. I’m almost positive there is probably a better way to put bicycles into the Cybertruck bed. Don’t think you could hang these over the truck bed without scratching the bikes. You could fold the front wheels in at 90 degrees but don’t think would be as secure.show more

Newsflash: Defense technology companies fail a lot. When we're... building weapons that help deter war and defend our troops, test failures are essential to the mission. We don't hide from them. We plan for them, learn from them and succeed because of them. Recent media inquiries are trying to sensationalize isolated test failures. They miss the entire point of innovation. Real technological progress requires relentless testing, intentional system breaking, and rapid iteration. Our 200+ test engineers deliberately push systems to breaking points across 6 test sites because controlled failures create battlefield resilience. Finding these failures in controlled environments is the entire point of what we do. At Anduril, we fail forward because war doesn't wait for perfection. Neither do our adversaries.show more

Southwest Airlines has confirmed that one of its flights... was forced to take evasive action to avoid colliding with another flight at Nashville International Airport over the weekend. Southwest reports that while approaching BNA amid gusty wind conditions, pilots of Southwest Flight 507 executed a precautionary go-around. During that action, the pilots used instructions from air traffic control and an onboard traffic alert to avoid conflicting with Southwest Flight 1152, which was departing from another runway. Flight 507 was able to land after the go-around and Flight 1152 continued to its destination in Knoxville. “We are engaged with the FAA as part of the investigation. Southwest appreciates the professionalism of its Pilots and Flight Crews in responding to the event. Nothing is more important to Southwest than the Safety of our Customers and Employees,” the airline said in a statement. Video: Flightradar24show more

The ongoing record-breaking heat wave in the West will... continue while expanding across the Central U.S. through the weekend. Based on preliminary data, there have been around 50 March high temperature records broken since March 17 and more than 150 daily high temperature records broken. Record setting temperatures are expected to continue over the next several days. Most areas will see temperature departures of 25 to 35 degrees higher than normal for this time of year. However, some locations in the central Plains on Saturday could see departures exceed 40 degrees from normal! Overnight low temperatures will also be well above average, providing little relief from the heat. The early time of year, prolonged nature of this heat wave, and limited seasonal acclimation will increase the risk of heat impacts especially among sensitive populations or those without effective cooling. Adjust plans to limit strenuous outdoor activities to early morning hours, drink plenty of fluids, and seek air conditioned spaces. For more heat safety tips visit:show more
