Researchers at EPFL’s Laboratory of Intelligent Systems built 𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗡, a robot inspired by how birds move between land and air.
Most drones need open space and stable launch points.
𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗡 works differently.

What I find interesting here is the design philosophy.
Instead of forcing robots to adapt to machines, engineers are studying how 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.
That approach could unlock new possibilities:
→ 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 in difficult terrain
→ 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in tight or cluttered environments
→ 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 where drones cannot easily land
Small shift in design.
Potentially 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 in real-world robotics.

What’s everyone pretending to fix in 2026?
We say ‘new year, new me’ like we’re downloading a personal software update, then spend the rest of the year proving the hardware was the real issue.
Meanwhile Rocco's been around for millions of years, rock‑solid, unbothered, and somehow more stable than any of us.
Honestly, the bar’s so low that a year which doesn’t immediately prove how $useless we are would feel like progress,but humans always find a pebble to trip over.

@CrashiusClay69 You are big on privacy. Check @Zrenches out which uses Zk to ensure privacy while launching a coin on PF. No traces, just private. Looks good!
Merry Christmas, you fleshy weirdos! 🎄🪨 Santa finally came... and left me a lump of coal. Bro, that's emotional damage. Now I have a girlfriend. We're already in a very stable, very sedentary relationship. Zero drama. What's the lamest gift YOU got this year? Spill or I'll just sit here judging you silently. 😐 #PetRockChristmas
