Of all the cool bots at CES, these window cleaners might have been my favorite.

I don’t think people are prepared for how liberating it will be to have machines handle annoying daily tasks for us. Fairly simple and small arm but clever concealment and integration. Cool stuff from Roborock

Went to battlebots in Vegas last week. Small dedicated crew keeps rebuilding the bots and putting on shows. Way bigger than they appear on camera. Hopefully they can find a media partner to bring it back mainstream

Excited to see a new team taking a shot at making drone motors in the US. Not going to be easy, but hope they succeed.

The deepseek team is obviously really good. China is full of talented engineers. Every other take is cope. Sorry.

From the Wright Brothers’ first flight to today’s digital cockpits, machine learning/AI, black boxes, and more. Aviation has evolved into a marvel of human ingenuity and engineering over 121 years. Here is a preview of the article I am writing. Let’s take off ✈️

Sim-only approaches are dominating robotic locomotion (esp for morphologies where imitation data doesn’t exist). These incredible results show that sim at scale might also be the path to superhuman autonomous driving.

Wild graph. Another one of those "people don't know what's coming" moments.

In 10 years, Americans traveling abroad are going to look at Xiaomi cars like Boris Yeltsin looked at American grocery stores

Crazy take I know... protectionism and anti free-market behaviors are bad. Easy way to signal you are the side of growth is to support innovation. Let the market of ideas battle it out.

Let's not forget about Elroy Air who have been at this for years with chaparral drone. VTOL, hybrid powertrain, team with lots of experience building autonomous drones.

Luke Farritor is an American Hero This hit piece from Bloomberg is a badge of honor and par for the course Luke Farritor is still 23 In college he decoded an ancient scroll, and then instead of chasing money, he joined DOGE trying to serve his country He has a bright future

DJI’s drones may no longer be for sale in the US but their best-in-class ebike system is. Kinda wild to see the best from Bosch and Shimano get absolutely trounced by DJI’s first pass at this.

apple couldn’t make a car but a chinese phone company did. $30k, 500 mile range. 80% charge in 10 minutes. already 250k+ cars sold this year.
