A planetary roller screw looks simple, but it’s one of the key enablers for humanoid robots. It converts rotational motion into precise linear motion with high efficiency, high load capacity, and extremely smooth control. In humanoid robots, this is exactly what you need for: joint actuation linear actuators in arms/legs high-force, high-precision movement under continuous cycles Compared to ball screws, it offers better durability and load distribution—critical for robots that must operate 24/7 in the real world. Small component, huge impact. This is the kind of “hidden hardware” that makes humanoid robotics actually work.

Linear actuators playing football! ⚽️ You can keep scrolling... The "Magic Field" is an impressive display of ball-handling skill, showcasing what fixed automation can achieve. There are no robots at all. Instead of robots, over 300 linear actuators precisely control the ball’s movement on the field, demonstrating incredible accuracy. The setup even includes an advanced kicking mechanism, similar to a SCARA robot, that uses two linear actuators and one rotary actuator to kick the ball into the net. 🥅 This fixed automation shows how powerful and precise automation can be without needing mobile robots on the field. When starting an automation project, it's interesting to consider if fixed automation like this or flexible robots might be the best fit. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

$ONDS is trying to build a full 'system-of-systems' across aerial drones, counter-drone systems, ground robotics, ISR, border security, demining and AI-enabled command-and-control. That's where the $PLTR partnership becomes important because software is what can turn a collection of drones, sensors and robots into a real operating system. The acquisition strategy is aggressive but this quarter made it look a lot more credible. Less like a roll-up and more like an emerging autonomous defense platform with real demand behind it.

Today, our young Engineers learned how to solder connections to DC motors and use the L298N motor driver to control the speed and direction of the motors. These motors will form part of the circuit for their self-balancing robot, where two wheels must constantly adjust their movement to keep the robot upright and stable. But this lesson goes far beyond building one robot. The same fundamental principles of motor control, feedback, and stabilization are applied in bipedal robots, smart drones, camera gimbal stabilization systems, and many other robotic systems. As they progress, the children will also learn how to use PID (Proportional–Integral-Derivative) control, an algorithm that allows a system to detect changes, calculate the necessary correction, and continuously adjust its response to maintain stability. So, they are not simply learning how to connect and drive a motor. They are beginning to understand some of the core engineering principles behind modern robotics and autonomous systems.

Today’s reel dives into the Boeing 737 horizontal stabilizer trim system. It’s a big one, hope you enjoy it! You guys liked the A321 version I posted, so here’s the 737 take: This system is cable-driven with electric motors, and you can manually trim using the trim wheels in case of failure. There’s a drum under the cockpit and another one on the actuator itself. Don't forget to close the handle on the control wheel if you're trimming electrically, it will hurt 🤣. Quite different from the Airbus family: while they also use cables, it's only for position feedback, movement is fully hydraulic via three systems. No hydraulics? No trim. But a complete failure of the hydraulic on the Airbus family is highly improbable. 📸 by ig/only_fancowl . Go follow him for more aviation content ✈️

🇷🇺 Russia’s Yakovlev makes another fully domestic passenger plane, a Yakovlev MC-21. These planes were developed with many Russian parts pre 2022, but now Yak reworked the model and swapped everything for Russian parts. The aircraft had its imported components and systems replaced with Russian ones. The procedure of swapping every part of a plane for domestic components is extremely complex, as this has not been done before. Usually you iterate on a plane part by part, not doing such a big bang change. This procedure includes replacement of the cockpit controls, control system drives, wing mechanization movement system and stabilizer adjustment mechanism, avionics complex, integrated air conditioning system, integrated system for collecting, monitoring, processing, and recording flight information, wheel braking system, main and auxiliary power units, fuel system, wheels, tires, and more. The plant workers, together with specialists from the flight test and refinement complex of PJSC "Yakovlev," are checking the fuel system, start-up and operation of the auxiliary power unit and main engines, as well as testing of the aircraft's systems and equipment with the engines running. Frequency tests of the landing gear systems and integrated control system were also carried out on the aircraft. 1/

Tesla just got granted new patent for robotic Knee join and of course I have to make a video about it 😀 This patent application describes a sophisticated robotic knee joint designed by Tesla to emulate the complex movement of a human leg. The invention utilizes a linear actuator and a specialized linkage system to provide a wide range of motion while maintaining energy efficiency. By integrating processing circuitry and a controller, the system can precisely calculate and execute the necessary torque and displacement for fluid mobility. This mechanical design is specifically tailored for use in humanoid robots, allowing them to perform tasks with a more natural and effective gait. The documentation further includes technical illustrations and simulation data to demonstrate how the joint achieves optimal performance through its unique structural configuration.

It would make sense for Cybercab to have Brembo’s Sensify Braking system, which is a fully software-controlled, fluid-free braking system. Brembo said they’re working with a “major undisclosed global manufacturer” entering series production in the hundreds of thousands. It could very well be Cybercab. Each wheel has its own dedicated electric actuator with redundancies. It would make sense for Cybercab, since the whole vehicle is being driven by AI already. The system offers higher efficiency and more control over brake operation. It is fully customizable and designed for autonomous vehicles as well. You can read more about it in the post below.

If You Love Mathematics and Physics, You'll Love Control Systems Episode 1 Control Systems are the craft of keeping something doing what you want, even when the environment is pushing back. You simply measure what's happening, compare it to your goal and apply correction over and over, many times per second. We need Control Systems because the real world is noisy and unforgiving. Loads change, wind happens, sensors lie, actuators saturate, and tiny errors snowball into failure unless you actively stabilize. In this animation, a cart must keep an upside down stick from falling while we shove it, add gusts, change the weight mid-run, and force it to track new positions. The Controller keeps nudging and braking so it stays upright instead of tipping over. Subscribers can get Python Script on Request.

🚨TRUMP IN PANIC: Here's Iran’s DEADLIEST Missile The Fattah-2 missile introduces a totally new concept: instead of relying solely on a ballistic reentry vehicle, it uses a hypersonic glide vehicle designed to manoeuvre during the final phase of flight. This glide vehicle separates after the booster phase and continues toward its target while remaining inside the atmosphere. Unlike traditional ballistic warheads, which follow a largely predictable descent, a glide vehicle can adjust its path, making tracking and interception more difficult, especially for systems optimised to counter classic ballistic trajectories. The missile has a range of around 1,400 kilometres, placing it within the same general category as several other medium-range systems in Iran’s arsenal. The key difference lies in the vehicle’s flight behaviour rather than its distance. The ability to manoeuvre at hypersonic speed requires precise guidance, heat-resistant materials, and stable control under extreme aerodynamic stress. The development of systems like Fattah-2 reflects a long-term trend in Iran’s missile programme. Over the past two decades, Iranian engineers have steadily improved propulsion, accuracy, and survivability. Much of this work has taken place domestically, under sanctions and technological isolation, which has helped the country to develop internal research and production. If Israel and its NATO allies struggled with Iran’s previous retaliatory strike, how prepared are they for a larger one given Iran’s recent military advances?

Tail skid system explanation by Stig Aviation ✈️ Believe it or not … you’ll find this under ATA 32 .. It’s a very rudimentary and simple system, designed to simply protect the aircraft. Take for example the 737, it’s more of a visual inspection, the more advanced aircraft have electrical signals that will send information to the flight deck that a tail strike has occurred. Let’s take for example the 777, some of them have a tail skid, but all of them have a tail strike sensor. To simply put it’s basically two little wires encased inside of a fin on the belly of the tail. If a tailstrike occurs, the fin Will break and open a circuit, sending this information to the flight deck. Overall tail strike incidents are very rare, because pilots train over and over to perfect their flying. That being said you also have aircraft computer systems to assist. But there are times where bad weather conditions will cause this occurrence, but once again the airplane can handle it. Not an ad

Vision is an absolute marvel of Divine Engineering. It requires a minimum of 3 systems working together from the start, or we don't see. 1. Eyes to capture light & convert into signals 2. Pathways to transport the signal 3. A brain to process it Evolution can't build it one step at a time, because there is no vision until all those systems exist and function together. Compounding the complexity further, each of those 3 systems themselves require a minimum number of more complex subsystems to function properly. For instance, all eyes require opsin proteins. Opsin is a highly complex protein that holds a special light-sensitive molecule called retinal; when a single photon hits the retinal, it instantly flips shape, triggering the opsin to change its 3D shape and trigger a precise cascade which converts the light into an electrical signal to be sent to the brain where it can be understood as vision. Opsin alone, is useless. It needs the retinal molecule plus the full cascade, or it does nothing. This is the case with ALL vision systems, confirmed over and over again the lab. No partially formed system produces any vision, or any other function for that matter. Many uninformed Evolutionists attempt to argue that we see different levels of complexity in vision systems, which they say is evidence that vision evolved gradually from simpler systems. But the evolutionary scientists themselves refute this. Even the very simplest possible system of vision - the infamous "light sensitive cell" - still relies on a similar highly complex, interconnected network of proteins and other molecules. Mainstream evolutionary science even teaches that vision systems evolved independently, from scratch, at least 40 different times. The reason is because many vision systems are so different, operating with such unique parts, that one simply could not have evolved from another. The fossil record itself refutes the concept of step by step construction of vision systems. Complex eyes appear early in the fossil record, fully formed & functional. There is no increasing complexity in the fossil record - it's a complete contradiction of evolutionary predictions. The vision system has all the Hallmark evidence of design. A complex, interconnected web of information processing systems with incomprehensibly precise timing & coordination between them all to produce a highly specialized function. Nature does not, and cannot, produce such a system, not with all the time and resources in the entire universe. Everything you see is a testament to the Power of our Creator.

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

In the Andante movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21, the "beauty" doesn't lie in a single note, nor in a single expressive moment. It stems from how the entire musical material is organized as a continuous process of tension and resolution, where each event is both the result of what has happened and the condition for what will come next. On the surface, listeners are easily captivated by the softness of the melody, the dialogue between the piano and the orchestra, or the subtle harmonic nuances. However, this is only the phenomenal level. The deeper level lies not in "what the music is," but in "the principles by which the music operates to create the sense of inevitable movement." In Mozart's thinking, no note exists independently. Each sound always carries the aftershock of the previous note and simultaneously creates a tendency towards the next note. It is this continuous movement between tension and release that makes music no longer a series of disconnected events, but a logical flow of movement, where every detail has a reason for existing within the whole. The tension-release mechanism in life Importantly, this mechanism is not unique to music, but reflects a broader structure in human experience. In social relationships, conflict creates an imbalance between people; the process of understanding and adjustment helps restore the stability of the relationship. In biology, the body reacts to threat with a state of tension, and returns to equilibrium when the threat is removed. In psychology, the state of expectation creates mild tension, and completion brings a feeling of relief. At every level, the same pattern can be seen: an unstable state is moved towards a stable state. However, it is important not to understand music as a “simulation of life,” but rather that both music and life can be described by the same principle of organizing experience. Music: where mechanism is refined into structure In classical music, especially in Mozart's compositional thinking, the tension-release mechanism is transformed into a clearly structured language. An unstable note creates a tendency toward a stable note. A chromatic movement creates a sense of deviance from the center. An appoggiatura creates a sense of delay. A modulation to a minor key expands the instability of the entire structure. All these elements do not exist in isolation, but are organized into multi-layered tension-release cycles: microscopic in each note, mesoscopic in each phrase, and macroscopic in the entire structure of the musical movement. The key point is: Mozart did not use these mechanisms to create surprise effects, but to create the feeling that every movement is inherently necessary. This is what creates the seamless and natural flow of the music. Therefore, the beauty in Andante does not lie in a single element, nor in a single compositional technique, but in the tension-release mechanism being organized into a unified system throughout multiple levels of musical structure. At the detailed level, it is present in the relationship between notes and harmonic movement. At the intermediate level, it shapes the structure of each musical phrase. At the overall level, it governs the entire progression of the movement as a unified moving whole. Mozart did not create beauty by eliminating tension, but by organizing unstable states so that they continuously facilitate, guide, and transform into more stable states, thereby forming a dynamic balance throughout the entire musical structure. When these three levels operate simultaneously, the listener no longer perceives "artificiality," but experiences a seemingly natural and continuous flow of movement. It is in this state that the deepest aesthetic value is formed: a sense of a tight, consistent, and inevitable internal order within the sonic timeline.

Sometimes, the smartest robot isn't the most complicated one. ⚙️🤖 Meet the Tripteron a unique 3-axis parallel robot that achieves precise motion using an elegant mechanical design. Unlike traditional Cartesian gantries, all three actuators move in parallel, allowing the system to maintain a lightweight moving platform while covering a large workspace. Why does that matter? • High-speed, precise motion • Reduced moving mass • Excellent stiffness and repeatability • Scalable travel for large work areas These characteristics make parallel mechanisms like the Tripteron promising for applications such as industrial automation, high-speed pick-and-place systems, large-format 3D printing, precision manufacturing, and advanced inspection. Sometimes, innovation isn't about adding more parts. It's about finding a smarter way to move. Would you choose a Tripteron over a traditional Cartesian gantry for high-speed automation? 🎥 Media: Zaber Technologies ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

An ultra compact, high precision industrial robot arm. This one stood out to me because it targets a part of automation that is usually glossed over. Extreme precision in very small spaces. According to Oleksandr Stepanenko, the arm is designed from the ground up with fully custom electronics, software, and calibration, paired with industrial components from Harmonic Drive and maxon. Reported specs are notable: • Repeatability better than 0.001 mm • Payload 250 g • Reach 250 mm • Total mass 1.5 kg This kind of form factor opens up use cases that traditional industrial arms struggle with. Think PCB assembly, micro soldering, precision pick and place of irregular parts, and medical or micro robotics components. ❗️What I find interesting is not just the numbers, but the direction… Smaller, lighter, highly precise systems could unlock automation in environments where space, inertia, and tolerance are the real constraints.

NVIDIA MotionBricks brings humanoid robots closer to natural, fluid movement The system combines a modular latent generative model with Smart Primitives, packing more than 350,000 motion skills into a single backbone. It runs in real time at up to 15,000 FPS with just 2ms latency. Navigation, object interaction, sitting, jumping, obstacle crossing, and even different movement styles can be composed zero-shot, like reusable motion modules. It is already being used for whole-body control on the Unitree G1 and serves as the motion layer for NVIDIA GR00T Whole-Body Control. What makes this interesting is the move from training individual behaviors toward building a shared library of motion capabilities. If that approach scales, robot movement could become more modular, transferable, and easier to deploy across different tasks and environments.

For the past two days, ZeeeMediaOfficial has been exposing the reality behind the Great Reset in her 3-part series, Great Reset: Next Phase. Not as an idea—but as a system. A system designed to replace human decision-making… powered by massive energy-draining data centers… enforced through surveillance most people will never see, but will feel. It’s already here. People are being arrested by AI systems that get it wrong. Networks are being built to track behavior in real time, wiring control into the background of everyday life. The endgame is simple. A world where control is automatic, oversight disappears, and the systems making decisions about your life can’t be questioned. Once that prison is in place, you don’t step into it—you wake up inside it. But here’s what they didn’t account for… People are starting to see it for what it is. And in some communities, they’re actually stopping it. 🧵
