Someone built ultrasonic scanning on a tiny microcontroller and it’s seriously impressive Using Arduino, an ultrasonic sensor + a servo motor turns into a mini radar system: → scans surroundings in a sweep → detects objects in real time → measures distance with sound waves → builds a simple...

This work makes a humanoid robot do simple parkour moves by looking with a depth camera and choosing the right move on the fly. The big deal is that it turns lots of small human moves into long, real-time robot behavior, without hand-coding every transition or retraining for each new course. A humanoid robot is usually good at steady walking, but it often fails when it has to do fast moves like jumping up, vaulting, or rolling, and then keep going to the next obstacle. The hard part is that you cannot easily collect training data for every possible obstacle shape, distance, and mistake, so robots end up learning a few moves that only work in a narrow setup. This work starts from short clips of real human parkour moves, like stepping over, vaulting, climbing, and rolling. It uses motion matching, which is basically a smart “pick the next clip that fits best right now” search, to stitch those short clips into a long, smooth plan that looks like a human doing a whole course. Then it trains a controller with reinforcement learning (RL), which means the robot learns by trial and error to copy that plan while staying balanced and not falling. After training separate expert controllers for different moves, it compresses them into 1 controller that uses only onboard depth sensing and a simple “go this fast in this direction” command. In real tests on a Unitree G1 humanoid, it can clear multiple obstacles in a row, adapt when obstacles get moved, and climb a wall up to 1.25m.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 After reports that a U.S A-10 Warthog crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, it raises the question: how easy is it to shoot down? The A-10 looks like an easy target. It’s slow, flies low, and lacks the sleek defenses of modern jets. But the A-10 wasn’t designed to avoid being shot at, it was designed to survive it. Everything about the aircraft reflects that mindset. The pilot sits inside a titanium armored shell, critical systems are duplicated, and the engines are spaced to reduce the chance of a single strike taking the plane down. Even the fuel system is built to limit catastrophic damage. Combat history shows the result. During the Gulf War, A-10s routinely returned to base with severe damage, shredded wings, failed hydraulics, and systems barely holding together, yet still managed to complete their missions. Modern air defenses can certainly hit an A-10. The challenge is finishing the job. Flying low among terrain and battlefield clutter, the aircraft complicates clean targeting, and its resilience means that a hit is often not enough. That durability is what keeps it relevant. While newer aircraft rely on speed or stealth to stay safe, the A-10 relies on something more old-fashioned: the ability to endure. It isn’t invulnerable, but it was built with a simple assumption that many aircraft avoid, that war will reach it. And when it does, the A-10 is expected to fly home anyway.
