This is one of the more unusual flying robots I have seen.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo built DRAGON, a transformable aerial robot that can change its shape while flying.

Instead of a rigid frame, it is made of four linked segments.

Each segment has two ducted rotors mounted on gimbals, so every link can redirect thrust independently.

• The robot controls its full pose in SE(3) while reshaping mid-air
• It can form different geometries to stabilize itself or interact with objects
• The navigation stack computes the most efficient shape for the current task
• It lifts over 3 kg, which is unusually high for this class of system

This effectively turns a drone into a flying manipulator. Not a gripper bolted on top, but the airframe itself becomes the manipulator.

The authors also mention an interesting idea for range extension: letting the robot walk on the ground when flying is not required.

Today has been packed with inspiring AI sessions.

I’ve attended three presentations, each showing a different way AI can create real impact

I love it, or similar ❤️

Hey @sundayrobotics, we also tried that! But ACT2 seems to work way better, congrats on the release!

Me parece muy coherente.

This is the most fun moment to be a developer in years.

The AI tools are imperfect, the patterns are still emerging, and there's genuine room for experimentation. Roll up your sleeves and build something. The earthquake is further opening up what's possible.

The best news about this new layer: traditional engineering skills are more valuable than ever, not less. It helps us minimize shipping slop.

Developers who already invested in CI/CD, testing, documentation, and code review are having the most success with AI tools. These "boring" foundations are accelerators. They turn agents from chaos generators into productivity multipliers.

The real opportunity is learning to work at a different altitude. Instead of typing syntax, we're reviewing implementations, catching edge cases, and shipping features in hours that used to take days. That's genuinely exciting.

Yes, there's a learning curve. Understanding how to provide context, iterate on plans, and review AI-generated code quickly takes practice. But this is learnable through doing - build small tools, review everything, develop intuition through repetition.

The multiplier potential is real when you combine AI speed with engineering judgment. We're not replacing coding skills but we're finally able to focus them on the interesting problems while delegating the tedious parts.

MCP is going viral.

AI agents can now talk to real tools & apps and actually get stuff done.

This changes everything.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Andrej Karpathy recently coined the term “vibe coding” to describe how LLMs are getting so good that devs can “give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”

In this episode of the @LightconePod, the hosts discuss this new way of programming and what it means for builders in the age of AI.

@carloslfu Yes! The pie is getting bigger.
