hardware

Someone built a small VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft from scratch with no experience and shared how he designed and built it:

Very cool.

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

Ardupilot + 3d printing + o1 

Really takes you a long way

To me it’s honestly a testament to how far all the components (motors, escs, etc have come) and how far 3D printing has come

Oh yes💯

Consistent improvements in price-performance of components and the tooling really add up over time.

Yeah, that combined with:
- battery tech: energy + power density increase in batteries. 
- world models + training RL policies in sim + sim2real

I'm really excited about robotics, and what it can do in the next decade
