This $30M startup built a dog crate-sized robot factory that learns by watching humans

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-09-26 03:00:00

While many robotics companies are building human-sized robots, or working to automate entire factories, MicroFactory is instead trying to think big by building small. San Francisco-based MicroFactory built a general-purpose, tabletop manufacturing kit that’s about the size of my Siberian Husky’s dog crate. This compact factory includes two robotic arms and can be trained by human demonstration, as well as through AI. “General purpose robots are good, but it’s not necessary [to] be humanoid,” s

Beijing conditionally approved the US chipmaker’s acquisition of Mellanox in 2020. Monday’s statement came as US and Chinese official

Use singular nouns for database table names

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-04 08:29:05

Use singular nouns for database table names A common debate in relational database circles is whether the names of tables should be singular or plural. If you have a table that stores users, should the table be called user or users ? The arguments for plural are straightforward: The table is storing more than one user. It reads well in the FROM clause: SELECT id , name FROM users ; The arguments for singular are more subtle: Strictly speaking, we’re not naming a table, we’re naming a relati

New Webb image shows star formation as glittering, craggy peaks

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in the galaxy called Pismis 24, showing swirling dust and infant stars in unprecedented detail. The image was captured in infrared light by Webb's NIRCam (near-infrared camera), with false color detail added afterwards. It shows the Pismis 24 star cluster located in the Lobster Nebula around 5,500 light

Fluid Simulation (Demo) 2025 I wanted to see what happens when a fluid simulation collides with real objects. To test this idea I created this demo. To capture the shapes of objects, I mounted a webcam above the screen.

The video feed is then aligned with the computer-generated simulation, so the fluid can react to those cutout obj
