Maruchi Kim led a team at the University of Washington in a project that quietly rewrites what wireless earbuds can do, called VueBuds. They started with a familiar pair of Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds and turned them into devices that capture images from the wearer’s perspective while staying true to their original size and comfort.
Engineers at Boston Dynamics shared details today on a new training system for their Atlas humanoid robot. The approach focuses on building the kind of physical coordination needed for demanding factory or warehouse work. One video demonstration captures the result perfectly. Atlas rotates its upper body a full 180 degrees, squats down, grips a mini-fridge loaded with about 50 pounds, and walks it straight over to an engineer waiting nearby. The motion stays smooth even when the weight inside shifts.
Resin 3D printers have stuck to a single material through every layer for years because switching resins always brought contamination and extra cleanup. Eric Potempa watched that limitation long enough to do something about it. He founded Polysynth in 2025 with backing from Founders Inc and created the P1, a machine that brings up to eight different resins into the same print job without stopping for manual intervention.
Engineers at Ouster just released a fresh lineup of color LiDAR sensors called the REV8 OS family. These devices shoot out laser beams to measure distances and build detailed three-dimensional views of the world around them. What stands out right away comes from a new chip inside each one. Developed together with Fujifilm, this L4 chip adds accurate color information straight to every measurement point during the scan itself.
Jenny Zhang left New York for Shenzhen last year with a clear plan. She wanted to build a camera that fit right into daily routines without forcing anyone to hold a device or wear something on their face. The result sits in her hair like an ordinary barrette, chunky and white, ready to record whatever passes in front of it.
Arduino projects often involve small robots that roll forward and steer clear of walls using basic sensors. Maker UncleStem decided to push that familiar idea into uncharted territory by enlarging every part of a classic turtle-style design by a factor of seven. He had just wrapped up work on a matching seven-times-larger Arduino Uno board and wanted a project that could put the oversized microcontroller through its paces. A tortoise bot offered the perfect match because the original small version already relies on straightforward code and simple hardware.
Smaller than a credit card yet packed with enough features to handle real work and travel without extra gear. The iKKO MindOne Pro slips into a front pocket or even a slim wallet and weighs just 136 grams. Its square shape measures roughly 86 by 72 millimeters and stays only 8.9 millimeters thick. Hold it once and the size feels surprising in the best way. Flip it around in your hand and the build quality shows right away with smooth aluminum edges and a solid feel that never seems cheap.
Years of sticky residue had turned a sleek Red Rabbit cotton candy vending machine into something far less reliable than its price tag suggested. Block from Block’s Retro Repairs took on the challenge after the unit stopped producing those fluffy strands customers expect. The first step was to thoroughly clean the spinning head where the magic happens, removing the crusty sugar buildup.
Car makers keep finding new jobs for the lights up front, and Huawei just handed them one of the most unexpected ones yet. The company’s latest XPixel system turns a pair of headlights into a full-color projector capable of throwing an entire movie onto a wall while the vehicle sits parked. No separate screen, no extra equipment, just the lights already built into the car.
Canon revealed the EOS R6 V today, and it arrives at exactly the right moment for people who film daily. This full-frame mirrorless body takes the solid sensor from the R6 III and shapes everything around video work, streaming, and quick social clips. The result feels purposeful rather than flashy, and once you start reading the specs, each choice makes the next one click into place.
