We have a huge news to share today! Today we are unveiling the first truly accessible RL robot - welcome Microduck A 25 cm tiny open-source biped with 15 actuators and packed with sensors (camera, speaker, LiDAR, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, etc) that you train yourself with reinforcement learning. It's also playable out of the box with more than half a dozen fun and playful pre-trained policies to have it walk, sit, crouch, roller-skate, pick up objects with its articulated beak, and recover on its own. And all for less than $400. See all the details, play with the simulator and order it at: pollen-robotics.com/microducโ€ฆ (video with sound on ๐Ÿ”Š)

Happy birthday Linux ๐Ÿ‘
"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu)..." On August 25, 1991, a 21-year-old student sent a message to a Usenet newsgroup. He thought he was just building something fun for himself. 35 years later, that "hobby" is the backbone of global technology: ๐Ÿš€ Powering helicopters in space with NASA โ˜๏ธ Running the global cloud and 100% of the worldโ€™s supercomputers ๐Ÿ“ฑ Connecting billions of people ๐ŸŽฎ Redefining the future of handheld gaming What started as one student's side project became the greatest collaborative technology movement in history. Thank you to every maintainer, contributor, and advocate who made it possible. Happy 35th Birthday, Linux. Hereโ€™s to the power of open source and the next 35 years of building together. learnlinux.ie/content/linus-โ€ฆ #Linux35

@Dronecode Foundation participants produced 7 working integrations using the MAVLink-Military dialect, verifying cross-vendor implementations across uncrewed platforms, payloads, flight controllers and ground control stations end to end. hubs.la/Q04rCT1N0

Competing drone companies just proved they can solve interoperability faster in the open than any of them could do alone this week at the Dronecode Foundation MAVLink-M Integration Hackathon! Read the press release to find out more: dronecode.org/drone-industryโ€ฆ

This is a day for history! We established together with @DeptofWar โ€˜s Drone Dominance team and leading players from industry the MAVLink-M payload standard with live strikes on our tank by different partners. MOSA is a theory until you put metal on the target and we did!

Man who runs US drone factory (me) just closed fresh funding to build high performance AI drones. Senior EE, new grad EE, and Andriod engineers (kotlin) are urgently wanted. Order book is packed and our customers need new capabilities fast. (1/2)

Who else thought that surely we can build a fantastic abstraction around #mavlink?

There is no better use for a Mavic than to turn it into a target for an AI powered, fully autonomous interceptor.

ICRA 2026 wrapped. Good to see the PX4 community and meet a lot of new faces. Learned a ton. A few things that stood out ๐Ÿงต #icra2026 #icra

๐Ÿ”— The link from research to industry is short with PX4. The same stack runs in the lab and in production, so work moves forward instead of starting over.

๐ŸŽ“ A lot of the researchers I met are looking for their first industry job. The talent is there for anyone paying attention. Already looking forward to the next one.
