I just bought my first-ever electronic components and hit top top 5 🏆

Instead of doing a basic LED blink tutorial, I built an autonomous Edge AI rover, entered a national engineering competition, and placed in the Top 5 out of 30+ universities. 🤯
Here is what I built.

@SCR01111 @nvidia Thank you, what of as a mechatronics or robotics engineer?

[Muhammad Aminu 👷🏽⚡️ @AminuBuilds]

I just applied for the #MLHFellowship where I'll get to learn #SoftwareEngineering by doing! https://t.co/YkPP34DqDa via @MLHacks

[Mustafa @oprydai]

if you’re learning:

• robotics
• actuators, motors, gears, transmissions
• sensors, IMUs, encoders, cameras, LiDAR
• kinematics (forward, inverse)
• dynamics & control (PID, MPC)
• ROS2, rviz2, gazebo
• motion planning (RRT*, A*, trajectory optimization)
• SLAM (lidar, visual, fusion)
• drones
• autonomy stacks (perception → planning → control)
• embedded systems & microcontrollers
• power systems & batteries
• CAD & mechanical design
• supply chain and Manufacturing
• product design and development
• full stack engineering (software for hardware)
• systems thinking

welcome. this account is for you.

THIS GUY BUILT REAL FLYING SWORD DRONES AND CONTROLS THEM WITH HAND GESTURES

fan shisan is a physics student in chengdu who coded and built flying drones shaped like actual swords

he controls them entirely with hand gestures. no controller or a phone. just his hands

wave your hand and the sword follows. point and it flies where you direct it. multiple swords in the air at the same time responding to different gestures

he built the gesture recognition system HIMSELF and coded the flight control algorithms. designed the drone hardware in the shape of swords.

the gesture tracking uses sensors that read the position and movement of his hands in real time and translate them into flight commands for each drone independently

he even built one large enough to ride on

a physics student with coding skills just brought something straight out of a kung fu movie into the real world

the line between science fiction and side projects is getting thinner every month

I’m lost for words 😭😅

What the Actual f*ck are these dudes on.

Someone just dropped Open Source Palantir on reddit named Osiris.

-Real-Time Tracking:

-10,000+ commercial, military and private aircraft live on a 3D globe

- 2,000+ satellites including ISS

- 1,400+ worldwide CCTV camera feeds

- Earthquakes, wildfires, nuclear facilities and severe weather

Built-In OSINT Tools (no installs needed):

Nmap port scanning from the browser

- DNS record lookup and enumeration

- WHOIS domain intelligence

- SSL/TLS certificate transparency

- BGP routing and ASN lookup

- Threat intelligence and IP reputation

All running on a 3D interactive globe with day/night cycle, 20+ live API feeds, and a SIGINT news aggregator.

Awesome Robotics! 💾

Building your own robot just got a lot easier.

MathWorks have released an open-source GitHub repository packed with robotics resources for anyone interested in getting hands-on.

The repo includes examples for robot arms, ground vehicles, and drones, with projects that show how to connect with ROS and ROS2 or even deploy Simulink models directly as ROS nodes.

There are also more advanced demos, like modeling off-road environments and testing navigation algorithms in photorealistic simulations.

Everything is well-documented, with tutorials and links that make it easy to go from concept to prototype. 📑

Whether you’re a student, researcher, or just curious, there’s material here for every level. And since it’s an open community project, you can not only explore but also share your own contributions.

For anyone looking to learn robotics by doing, this is a solid place to start!

🏆FINAL STANDINGS, IVC 2026(1st Edition)🔥

After an intense display of creativity, innovation, teamwork and engineering brilliance, the final standings for the Mechatronics Intervarsity Competition 2026 are officially here!🚀
Congratulations to all participants and finalists💫

[Muhammad Aminu 👷🏽⚡️ @AminuBuilds]

@Kiyo__don How’d you do it?? Please

[Muhammad Aminu 👷🏽⚡️ @AminuBuilds]

Plug me in pleaseeee

[MeenahDtechie!😍 @Aminat_Olashile]

If you see opportunities around hackathons, startup pitch events, master’s scholarships, job opportunities, or solid networking spaces, plug me, please.

Trying to be very intentional about getting into bigger rooms, meeting smart people, and building cool things.✨️

I was also the type that doesn’t post on social except LinkedIn, but now I’m read to explore and connect with as many X users into tech/innovating/ robotics as possible

[Alexandra Kay @alexkaybuilds]

Question for engineers/builders/coders/people in tech:

What social platforms actually feel worth investing time into right now?

Embarrassingly, I’ve never really been a social media person. Long time lurker/introvert. X is basically me dipping my toes into the water. Of course I have LinkedIn, but I’m curious what other platforms people in tech genuinely use and enjoy.

Not just from a growth perspective necessarily. Most importantly to learn and be part of the community.

What’s been most valuable for you?

@lswoogie I’m Muhammad and I’ll love to connect with you??

[Bradley Woolf @brad_woolf]

i come from a programming background, so i didn’t have strong physics/engineering mental models for biology

inspired by the Quant Bible from MIT, i created an equivalent for engineering in biology

it’s not deep but has been helpful for me
