Ziva VFX builds the muscles, fat, fascia and skin of a digital character, then lets a solver compute how the matter deforms. VFX work moves before the drawing: you build an anatomy instead of sculpting a surface.
Travis Mitchell turned a used Denso industrial arm into a badminton shuttlecock feeder. The robot behaved. Two small launch wheels nearly sank the whole project.
A community archive spent ten years fixing photographs of Urdu books by hand in Photoshop. When it had to stop, 526,000 scans remained. It recycled its own corrections to train the pipeline that replaced them.
At Randaberg, an 112 m² cabin rests on eighteen whole spruce trees kept with their roots: the root-starts form a timber knee, as in Viking hulls, made precise by 3D scanning and robotic milling.
Near the end of Word 97 development, a reproducible crash vanished under a debugger. Microsoft traced it to a CPU erratum and patched one binary sequence with a NOP instead of changing compilers.
µBites does not make plastic edible. PET is first broken into microbe-accessible molecules, then yeast rebuilds that carbon before the food mixture is printed into a cookie shape.
A stock count can be perfectly accurate and still arrive too late. Invumi starts from real movements to help small teams work out what to reorder, and when.
Berkeley Humanoid Lite costs $4,312 in its US BOM. Its 22 actuators account for $3,512. Openness does not erase their cost; it breaks the most expensive part into components that can be understood and replaced.
AutoGeoRef automates the first placement of Sanborn maps without confusing an estimate with truth. Its most useful mechanism may be its ability to refuse a sheet.
IKEA and Xbox built a stool from the controller stick's original 3D files. It tilts in every direction, but nothing brings it back to center: that job is yours.
