An open source project developing a desktop “Pick-and-Place” machine. (📍All of the source on GitHub) The LumenPnP can be used for assembling electronic components onto circuit boards! The project is getting a huge update with a whole new control box, integrating the pneumatics required to pick the parts, and... a custom controller. > The controller uses Marlin firmware as the brain, and controls six stepper motors to move the machine. > It also controls two pneumatic pumps and valves for actually picking up the parts with the machine's nozzle tips. All of the source for the machine are available on GitHub!: Credit: Opulo with the awesome Stephen Hawes 👋 —- Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free:show more

Open-source pick and place is such a practical unlock. The control box + pneumatics work is where it goes from “cool build” to “repeatable machine” because reliability beats top speed every time.

I want to try their feeders and integrate them into my own system. Too bad they’re selling for $500 each as I recall

Open-source robot arm meets hand tracking [📍GitHub below] It is designed with an industrial mindset but built as a 3D-printed desktop system. PAROL6 paired with a LEAP Motion controller is a nice example of how accessible robot teleoperation has become. • Hand motion is streamed to the robot at 100 Hz via UDP • A pneumatic gripper is controlled by simple fist open and close gestures • The entire robot stack is open source, from mechanics to control software Combine that with low-latency hand tracking and you get a very practical platform for learning manipulation, teleoperation, and human-robot interfaces. This kind of setup is great for experimentation, teleop, data collection, and teaching robots by demonstration All without proprietary hardware or locked software.

We shipped something insane 🤯 Your AI agent can now control multiple machines at once: take screenshot, move the mouse, type on the keyboard by letting one machine control all the others. Pair any two computers on your LAN and just… tell your agent what to do on the other machine. Opendesk is open source and can be integrated as an MCP to the tool of your choice (Claude, Cursor, Codex, or your custom harness!) Repo in comments!

Coming soon! Someone requested a sleeved version of my exisiting controller asset a few weeks ago and with the timing and the new vtube studio native controller support, I decided it was time for an overall upgrade! I still have a few kinks to work through but I have huge respect for live2d artists working on a controller asset right now because the parameters ( along with the amount of things that go wrong ) are crazy with this one. Anyways so excited for all these new updates, stick to the end of the video to see all the customization options! Oh and this is with 0 camera tracking and best used with gyro controller! #live2dwip #vtubestudio

⚡️🇷🇺🏭 Rostec's unique machine creates an aircraft engine part right at the Metalloobrabotka exhibition. The video shows one of the most technologically advanced domestic machines: the 2000VH five-axis milling machining center. It was created for the needs of the aircraft, engine and defense industries. During the Metalloobrabotka-2025 exhibition, the machine processes one of the most important elements of an aircraft engine - an impeller (blade machine). Such parts are used in aircraft engines. The diameter of this aluminum product is 70 cm, the height is about 30 cm, the weight is about 15 kg. The machine copes with the work perfectly - pay attention to the screen! The equipment was created by our holding company "STAN" . The machine is designed for large-sized parts of complex shape. It is capable of working with products up to 2 m in diameter and weighing up to 5 tons. At the same time, the accuracy achieved is up to hundredths of a millimeter. The model is built on a high-rigidity structure, its internal cavities are filled with synthetic granite. As a result, the vibration resistance of the equipment frame is comparable to heavy cast iron. The machine is equipped with a Russian numerical control system and a liquid cooling system. The use of direct drives allows achieving high dynamic stability and eliminating backlash in movement. Among the built-in functions are systems for measuring tools and parts, monitoring processes and industrial safety. 2000VH has no analogues in technical characteristics among domestic equipment and will replace imported models at Russian enterprises. rostecru

This may seem "too good to be true", but it isn't AI, fake, or BS. The creator, "function.3d", is known for specializing in open-source recycling projects. The machine you see in the video is likely the PETALOT, a high-quality, open-source filament recycler designed by Function 3D. You can even find the technical CAD files and assembly guides on GitHub if you want to build one yourself.

Ukraine has developed a prosthesis that controls drones with the "power of thought". The new MARS prosthesis control system uses special sensors and artificial intelligence to recognize muscle movements. The prosthesis can literally understand the user's intentions. This approach makes prosthesis control more natural, and in the future, opens up new opportunities for controlling technologies such as drones. The user will be able to control the drone by changing the position of the prosthesis in space and tensing different muscles. The principle is similar to a computer mouse: the hand movement controls the direction and angle of the drone, and muscle tension controls functions such as pressing buttons. Esper Bionics is already testing a prototype, and next year, they plan to produce a version for the market. Source: Mykhailo Fedorov/Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine/Facebook
