Inventors series:
#1. Alexander Calder invented mobile. Not mobile phones but mobile aka kinetic art now. He was a mechanical engineer turned artist. He quoted (1954),
"lift the figures and scenery off the page and prove undeniably that art is not rigid"
A roadmap for learning robotics! 🔥
📌 If you’re self-learning robotics, this is genuinely one of the better repos to save for later!
This GitHub repo is basically a curated learning map for anyone trying to get into robotics without drowning in random bookmarks.
SOOOOO many free courses on almost every topic related to robotics, 5k ⭐️ on GitHub says it all...
If I had had this list during my studies, my career might have turned out differently.
But I didn't, so I the only thing I can do is to recommend it and give it to you now...
It’s a structured collection of links to:
→ robotics courses (online + university)
→ ROS / embedded / hardware basics
→ math & algorithms that actually matter for robots
A clean, opinionated list that helps you go from “where do I start?” question as I had after graduating :D
And it’s open-source, so you can contribute resources too.

Imagine a robot arriving as a flat sheet of plastic...
Then folding itself into a working machine. 👀
MIT engineers built a tiny origami robot that could fold itself, crawl, swim, climb, and carry objects twice its own weight.
The weird part? The future of robotics might not be assembled in factories.
It could unfold itself wherever it's needed. Would you trust a self-assembling robot?

The University of Michigan put their entire robotics degree on GitHub.
Not one course. The whole curriculum.
ROB 101 — Computational Linear Algebra for Robotics
ROB 311 — How to Build Robots and Make Them Move
ROB 501 — Mathematics for Robotics
ROB 530 — Mobile Robotics
Every lecture video on YouTube. Every textbook on GitHub. Every problem set, every exam, every line of code.
Professor Jessy Grizzle said it best when they launched it:
"Linear algebra has become the language of computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and autonomy."
So instead of making students wait four semesters of calculus before touching a robot... they built a curriculum that starts with the math that actually matters, applied to real robotics problems from day one.
This is what open education looks like when a top-10 engineering school decides to mean it.
Free. GitHub. YouTube.

FR8 is a 12,000 m² palace, filled with geniuses researching or building startups, it charges 0% equity and even pays for your food, living, and flights. One of their founders drank actual poison on stage to demo their tech.
Welcome to FR8.
Nothing about FR8 makes sense because it’s so over the top in their ambition, but they might eventually become the biggest thing for young founders globally. And it’s happening right here in Europe.
They are neither a hackerhouse, nor a startup accelerator, nor a classic research lab.
Instead they think of themselves as a university-like institution for the post AGI world that pushes you towards building companies, ambition, obsession, and bias-to-action.
Think YCombinator, Stanford and Bell Labs all wrapped into one thing for the most ambitious 20-somethings in the world to work, run by 20-somethings.
They just came out of stealth. Until recently people didn’t even know where their latest cohort is based. Because additionally on top FR8 is absurdly secretive. Their target group knows them and that’s about all they care for.
We visited last week to join them behind-the-scenes as they prepare for their first demo day in their new building - a 5 floor university building in the middle of Helsinki.
We knew them for quite some time so we were allowed to film them as the first team worldwide. But even we couldn’t film multiple floors and rooms of their building. This video gives you an insight into the ambitious craziness that FR8 is – but trust me there’s more to come in the near future.
The biggest new thing in startups – isn’t in SF – it’s in the north of Europe and attracts young geniuses worldwide. Welcome to FR8!
Walnut is my new favourite home robot
A tiny quadruped with sub 100$ BOM. It has all the compute it needs for a natural gait, high quality voice control, and to feel the world around it.
@victoroldensand and I built this little guy in three weeks to introduce a new type of social robot, one that doesn’t talk too much, and can explore and interact with the world on its own.

One of the most underrated marvels in semiconductor fabs is the vacuum pump.
A high end dry vacuum pump can spin at 90,000 RPM, operate 24/7 for years, maintain ultra clean vacuum environments, survive corrosive process gases, and hold tolerances measured in microns.
These Turbo Molecular Vacuum Pumps cost $10,000 to $25,000+ per unit.
Without them, there are no chips, no AI GPUs, no smartphones.
The semiconductor industry isn't just about EUV lithography. It's also about thousands of invisible engineering masterpieces quietly running in the background.

✨When buildings begin to move, kinetic architecture takes the lead.
Mid-jury prototype models by students of Razia Hassan School of Architecture explore convertible roofs and kinetic facades, revealing how motion, structure, and adaptability redefine architectural performance.

I love these little bistable paper clip mechanisms that were just swag at the Kunimori booth. We need to be bistable mechanism maxxing as a civilization.😊
56,000+ tokens/sec at just 80 MHz. 🤯
I burned a full Transformer with KV cache into a custom chip. Designed gate by gate as a 100% digital integrated circuit. Prototyped on a FPGA. (No GPU. No CPU)
Just pure digital silicon running @karpathy microGPT, spelling out names on a tiny LCD.
This is GateGPT 👇
white pill for my nerds:
60fps e-ink display
a random guy outperformed entire eng teams by developing a pixel by pixel driver for e-ink displays that makes it 60fps.
he did that after work for months, launched it yesterday.
the future is bright
A GUY PUT GPT-LEVEL AI INSIDE A 3D PRINTED ROBOT AND RELEASED THE ENTIRE THING FOR FREE
Most people look at a 3D printer and see plastic toys
This guy printed a robot with expressive eyes, object tracking, image recognition, support for ChatGPT, Qwen and offline models, then uploaded the STL files, code and hardware designs for anyone to build themselves
The interesting part isn't the robot
It's how fast the gap between "I have an idea" and "I built a working product" is disappearing
A few years ago this required a team of engineers
Now one person with a printer, open-source software and enough curiosity can build something that looks like it came from a robotics startup
We're getting very close to a world where manufacturing, AI and robotics stop being separate industries and start becoming the same thing
