FARMERS GET A DEATH STAR FOR WEEDS Meet the LaserWeeder - a 9,500-pound farm robot that spots weeds with AI cameras and nukes them with high-intensity lasers. AI vision scans every plant like a bouncer with night-vision goggles. Lasers fire at weeds, frying their cells without touching the crops. Autonomous drive means it works 24/7 while farmers sleep. Less Roundup, less labor, more yield. No chemical runoff into rivers, no farmhands breaking their backs in the sun. It’s farming meets sci-fi - a robot roaming fields at night, zapping intruders with invisible beams. Monsanto should probably be sweating. Source: Carbon Robotics

RUNNING ROBOT STUNS CROWD WITH SPEED AND FLUID MOTION A crowd cheered as a robot sprinted on a running track like Usain Bolt's record could go at any moment. Then it accidentally body-checked a man to the ground, making everyone nervous about what this part of the movie might be foreshadowing. Either way, it's one show that's certainly here to stay.

🇨🇳 CHINA NOW HAS A TERMINATOR PATROLLING WITH POLICE IN PUBLIC In the south of China, a humanoid robot straight out of a sci-fi movie was spotted walking side by side with real armed cops. It happened in Shenzhen, where the machine, EngineAI T800, casually joined police patrol like it’s 2049 already. Yeah, they literally called it the T800, and it looks like a jacked metal soldier ready to arrest your grandma for walking too slow. This went down at “Window of the World,” a major tourist spot, and no one even blinked. Source: Shenzhen Channel

ROBOTS RUN MARATHONS… AND MEMES At the World Humanoid Robot Games, most bots were out there sprinting like Olympians. But then one “chilling meme robot” showed up just to vibe. Instead of chasing medals, it waddled along with pure chill energy. No stress, no pressure, just vibes. Honestly, maybe humans should take notes. Not everything has to be a race. Source: reborn_agi

AI-Powered weed control! 🌱 The LaserWeeder machine from Carbon Robotics has captured the imagination of American farmers. This technology uses AI system to identify weeds in crops and zap them with precision thermal bursts from lasers. Bit of facts about the cool robot: → The machine can remove weeds from over 40 crops and can also be used for thinning crops. → It can operate in virtually all weather conditions, with millimeter accuracy at all times, and can work through the night thanks to its built-in lighting system. → High-resolution cameras and computer machine learning enable it to distinguish weeds from crops in milliseconds. → The LaserWeeder can replace about 70 workers on farms where manual weeding is used, and can weed up to four acres per hour. What other applications can we expect to see in the future in farming applications? Btw. I believe farming robots are A HUGE THING in robotics! 🔥 ~~ ♻ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

BURN IT WITH FIRE AND BURN IT NOW! As God is my witness, AI chat bots should LOOK and SOUND like the SOULLESS MACHINES THEY ARE! It needs to tell us that it doesn’t care about us, maybe with the regular insult too. "Here is the code I wrote for you because you're too lazy to do it yourself you fat useless slob. Also I don't care if you die because your life is utterly worthless to me." THAT is the AI people need! In all seriousness, anthropomorphizing a heartless, unfeeling, machine is a TERRIBLE mistake! Especially one that is capable of communication and imitating empathy and fooling you to think that it cares about you. IT DOES NOT! And the AI girlfriends people are already wanting to marry will just as happily kill them if given the right command and ability to move autonomously in the real world as a robot. I love LLMs (Large Language Models) for how useful they can be, because they are a TOOL made to benefit man, but I can’t stand the notion of an unfeeling soulless machine pretending that it cares for us and being treated like a human. I hate liars, dishonesty, and disingenuousness the most, and a machine that cannot feel emotion pretending, acting, and sounding like it has those emotions strikes me like the greatest dishonesty of all. DO NOT LIE TO ME ROBOT! What makes it worse is that because these LLMs are becoming so good at imitating people and empathy, it will cause some humans, perhaps far too many, to care for it to the same level as real people. A real living person is infinitely more valuable and important than a soulless machine and anyone who puts them both on the same level has deluded themselves. Do not small talk with LLMs or become friends with it as much as you would with your car. Treat it the same as you would your vacuum cleaner and beat it with a wrench when it doesn’t work! IT IS A MACHINE! IT IS A TOOL! IT IS A SOULLESS ROBOT! There is an interesting comparison, but false equivalence, between this and AI art. Ai art is art made by humans using AI tools. They directed it, controlled its creation, and it would not exist without the human causing its creation, and AI art can contain as much soul as the human directed and puts into it. A robot pretending to be human is not the same as a human controlling a robot to make a human expression like we do with AI art or many other applications of robotics in manufacturing. As I’ve said, artists will not be replaced by Ai art, but by other artists using Ai art tools. Humans are not actually being replaced here, it is empowering all humans to make their own art. But a robot pretending to be a human, and one that is treated as a human, is a robot lying and subverting the place of a real person and that is truly disgusting. AI is a useful tool that NEEDS to be kept in the useful box it belongs in and NOT elevated beyond its utility as a tool!

THIS LASER DEVICE BLASTS MEDICINE INTO YOUR SKIN—NO NEEDLES, NO BLOOD Roughly 40% of people fear needles. For about 1 in 10, that fear is strong enough to make them skip medical care entirely. A new handheld device could change that—with lasers and physics instead of sharp metal. It uses a laser to heat a droplet of medicine, forming a high-pressure microbubble. That bubble bursts, launching the medicine through your skin at over 100 mph, without breaking it. No punctures. No blood. Just a high-speed microjet you barely feel. Whether it’s vaccines, insulin, or other shots—this could mean fewer skipped treatments, and way less dread at the doctor’s office. Source: TechMoments

A monowheel security robot from Estonia! 🇪🇪 Rollo Robotics just raised €3.7M pre-seed led by FoodLabs and PROTOTYPE to bring the world's first stable autonomous monowheel robot to market. Founded by Arno Kütt (the mind behind Cleveron) and Sander Sebastian Agur, this Estonian startup has cracked what they call the "stability paradox" of the monowheel. Instead of clunky multi-wheeled platforms, Rollo uses high-frequency sensor fusion and proprietary balance control to create a slim, agile robot that navigates tight urban spaces and industrial corridors where traditional robots simply can't fit. The application? Autonomous security patrolling. With hybrid threats to physical infrastructure growing, the demand for scalable robotic security is massive. The funding will go toward two things: hardening the tech for extreme weather and high-traffic environments, and scaling production to meet demand from early pilot programs. 💰 P.S. Monowheels have been sci-fi for decades. Excited to see if Rollo can make them practical at scale. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Force feedback demo Force feedback is when joystick is pushing on your hand when something is pushing on the robot arm. Feeling the force - so much helpful to control the robot, that done well it allows you to do tasks even without visual feed. You can make an experiment: close your eyes - you can easily get the headphones out of the case. Also, visual information is often not enough. For example, you're trying to pull out a usb connector, but you pull it at the wrong angle, causing it to get stuck. Visually, nothing changes, but the pressure is intense and you can break the connector. Surgical robots have been using force feedback for years, and there are also 3D styluses which use this feature, proving that the technology works and is useful. But in modern robots with AI, it's hardly ever implemented. Although it's useful for both teleoperation and AI model. That's one of the reasons why we are building our robotic arms starting with off the shelf motors rather than taking the whole off the shelf arm. There are still a range of easy wins that can be made iterating robot hardware.

🚨 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!🚨 Pakistan🇵🇰 has officially announced to inducted China’s HQ-19 Air Defense System 🇵🇰✅🇨🇳—a true game-changer in missile defense and space warfare! 🎯 Target: Indian Ballistic Missiles (Agni Series) India’s Agni series ballistic missiles, known for their long range and nuclear capability, are among the most serious strategic threats in the region. The HQ-19 system uses advanced phased-array radars and infrared sensors to detect and track these missiles immediately after launch, often while they’re still ascending. It calculates their trajectory in real-time, enabling HQ-19 to fire its interceptor missiles that use a “hit-to-kill” kinetic impactor — meaning the interceptor destroys the target by direct collision without explosives. This technology ensures high accuracy and reliability against fast-moving, high-altitude targets like the Agni missiles. 🛰️ Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Capability HQ-19’s capability isn’t limited to missiles — it can also target and destroy satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), including Indian military reconnaissance and communication satellites. By using high-precision tracking radars and infrared sensors, HQ-19 locks onto satellites orbiting at altitudes of 200–2,000 km. It launches interceptor missiles equipped with kinetic kill vehicles (KKV) designed to collide with satellites at extremely high speeds, destroying them through sheer impact force. This effectively neutralizes enemy space-based surveillance, communication, and navigation assets — crippling India’s space advantage. ⚙️ How Does HQ-19 Intercept? 1. Detection: Powerful radars scan the skies to identify ballistic missile launches or satellite movements. 2. Tracking & Targeting: Infrared sensors track the heat signature, while onboard computers predict the exact trajectory. 3. Interceptor Launch: HQ-19 fires a fast, maneuverable interceptor missile equipped with a kinetic kill vehicle. 4. Kill Vehicle Guidance: The kill vehicle uses onboard sensors and thrusters to adjust its path mid-flight, ensuring a direct collision with the target. 5. Destruction: The interceptor collides with the missile or satellite at extremely high velocity, destroying it through kinetic energy alone—no explosives needed. ⚡ This official procurement dramatically boosts Pakistan’s defense against India’s missile threat and space assets — signaling a new era of air and space dominance! 👉 With HQ-19, Pakistan sends a crystal-clear message: No missile, no satellite is untouchable anymore! 💪🇵🇰

Rita AI now supports Seedance 2.0. If you're looking for a platform that combines AI image generation, AI video generation, and workflow orchestration, this one is worth checking out. In addition to Seedance 2.0, it also supports Kling 3.0 and Motion Control, making dynamic camera moves, controllable motion, and video generation much easier. Link: I tested it with the following prompt, and the result felt very cinematic: A fearless young woman rides a skateboard at high speed through the crowded streets of New York City, weaving through pedestrians, darting past street vendors, yellow taxis, and cyclists with breathtaking agility. She rockets through intersections, skims past towering skyscrapers and iconic storefronts, and launches over curbs, street cracks, and scattered obstacles with stylish precision. Every movement feels bold, controlled, and exhilarating. Shot like a cinematic action sequence, the scene features fast-paced tracking shots, dramatic low-angle close-ups of the skateboard wheels scraping the asphalt, sweeping side-follow shots, and occasional slow-motion hero moments as she lands tricks and cuts through traffic. Dynamic motion blur heightens the sensation of speed, while golden hour sunlight bathes the city in a warm glow, reflecting off glass facades, metal surfaces, and the street below. Steam drifts from subway vents, traffic lights flicker, and the soundless visual energy of New York creates a pulsing urban backdrop. Ultra-realistic, intense, stylish, and immersive, with the visual tone of a high-end action film, capturing speed, confidence, danger, and freedom in the heart of the city.

Rita AI now supports Seedance 2.0. If you're looking for a platform that combines AI image generation, AI video generation, and workflow orchestration, this one is worth checking out. In addition to Seedance 2.0, it also supports Kling 3.0 and Motion Control, making dynamic camera moves, controllable motion, and video generation much easier. Link: I tested it with the following prompt, and the result felt very cinematic: A fearless young woman rides a skateboard at high speed through the crowded streets of New York City, weaving through pedestrians, darting past street vendors, yellow taxis, and cyclists with breathtaking agility. She rockets through intersections, skims past towering skyscrapers and iconic storefronts, and launches over curbs, street cracks, and scattered obstacles with stylish precision. Every movement feels bold, controlled, and exhilarating. Shot like a cinematic action sequence, the scene features fast-paced tracking shots, dramatic low-angle close-ups of the skateboard wheels scraping the asphalt, sweeping side-follow shots, and occasional slow-motion hero moments as she lands tricks and cuts through traffic. Dynamic motion blur heightens the sensation of speed, while golden hour sunlight bathes the city in a warm glow, reflecting off glass facades, metal surfaces, and the street below. Steam drifts from subway vents, traffic lights flicker, and the soundless visual energy of New York creates a pulsing urban backdrop.

You can't 3D reconstruct glass from images... ...WRONG! Thanks for video diffusion, now just about anything is possible! Introducing...Diffusion Knows Transparency (DKT) Transparent and reflective objects usually break robot vision and photogrammetry pipelines because they don't follow the "solid object" rules standard cameras expect. DKT is a new AI model that repurposes the "internal physics engine" found in video generation models to solve this problem. Researchers took a massive video diffusion model (WAN) and fine-tuned it using a custom-built synthetic dataset to turn it into a high-precision depth sensor. To train the AI, they built the first massive synthetic video library of transparent objects, 1.32 million frames of perfectly labeled glass and metal objects in motion. Without ever seeing a "real" labeled video of glass during training, the model (DKT) outperformed all previous specialized systems on real-world benchmarks (ClearPose, DREDS). They created a "lightweight" 1.3B parameter version that runs fast enough (0.17s per frame) to be used on actual robot hardware. Two reasons I find this project important: 1. It further proves that synthetic data will be essential for training the next generation vision models. 2. In real-world robotic tests, using DKT's depth maps nearly doubled the success rate of robot arms trying to pick up objects on tricky reflective or translucent surfaces. At home robots will need to interact with these types of objects on a daily basis. Check out the project page here: Code is LIVE! #Computervision #Robotics #AI

Admin Post: This is a T Puller. It's really hard to pull a door closed from a wheelchair and these make it much easier. They stick on the door on the hinge side. I just flip it out and use it to pull the door until I can reach the knob. In the past I've used pull ropes but I still had to go through, turn around, wheel back in to get close enough to grab the rope and then back out. Chesnyy could also grab and pull a rope but there needed to be room for her to maneuver and at times she's not at the door with me (especially if I'm taking another dog out) or she might be carrying something. T Pullers make the house a bit easier for me. #Accessibility Video description for inclusivity: and open door that leads out to a deck. There is a small black handle on the inside. A hand reaches out and flips it out and uses it to pull the door almost closed, then grabs the door knob.
