Japanese Inventor Hideyasu Ito’s DIY Hovercraft Has Gone Viral
Japanese Inventor Hideyasu Ito’s DIY hovercraft has gone viral this past week.
Hideyasu Ito said that he began building micro-hovercrafts using cheap leaf blowers in 2013 and first showcased a prototype in SepteMore infomber at the Maker Faire technology convention in Tokyo.
The primitive-styled machine used to be cobbled together with wood and other materials bought from home improvement stores.
The motors came from leaf blowers.

A robot playing pool autonomously [info in the comments]
This video shows a robot that is able to play pool autonomously. Due to a camera fixed on the ceiling, a robot can calculate the success probability of each shot and can decide independently which ball would be the easieMore infost one to whole in. The information can also be projected onto the table. In this way, the human player could have support from a computer.
It is necessary to optimize the manipulator pose online in order to find the optimal shot speed. The sequence at the end of the video illustrates the robot’s capability: The robot can hole five balls at a stretch.

A morphing aerofoil with highly controllable aerodynamic performance.
In this paper, a morphing carbon fibre composite aerofoil concept with an active trailing edge is proposed. This aerofoil features of camber morphing with multiple degrees of freedom. The shape morphing is enabled by an More infoinnovative structure driven by an electrical actuation system that uses linear ultrasonic motors (LUSM) with compliant runners, enabling full control of multiple degrees of freedom. The compliant runners also serve as structural components that carry the aerodynamic load and maintain a smooth skin curvature.

Multi-Modal Legged Locomotion Framework with Automated Residual Reinforcement Learning [info in the comments]
While quadruped robots usually have good stability and load capacity, bipedal robots offer a higher level of flexibility / adaptability to different tasks and environments. A multi-modal legged robot can take the best ofMore info both worlds. In this paper, we propose a multi-modal locomotion framework that is composed of a hand-crafted transition motion and a learning-based bipedal controller---learnt by a novel algorithm called Automated Residual Reinforcement Learning.

Introducing the HOVER Scorpion [more info in the comments]
HOVER Scorpion is a single-passenger, altitude-limited quadcopter hoverbike which started as a "crowdfunding" project. The Scorpion has a maximum speed of 69 km/h (43 mph), a maximum altitude of 4.6 m (15 ft), and a rangMore infoe of 21 km (13 miles). The flight time is between 15-40 minutes depending upon the payload.
If you have a heavy passenger, the flight time could be a maximum of 15 minutes and if you only had a lightweight camera system on the hoverbike, the flight time could be 40 minutes. The hoverbike uses Lidar and the pilot can set any altitude they want and the hoverbike will hold at that altitude.
Hover was founded in Moscow, Russia, in January 2014 by inventor, tech entrepreneur and businessman Alexander Atamanov.
