The mechs are here! A very interesting build from Unitree. Shows how good their actuators are to keep such a heavy beast upright. Would you ride in one?

Working on the last issue of Weekly Robotics, this project blew my mind🤯. It's rare to find the right combination of skills to pull together something like this universal robot controller. And to make it open-source? Absolute legend

I usually do different content, but I'm really excited about the #lerobot integration I've been working with @foxglove, and I thought I would share.
What did you make during #lerobotworldwidehackathon?

Weekly Robotics Throwback Wednesday:
Three years ago, we were looking at an Ion Drive Drone from MIT that was a fixed-wing able to fly 60 meters.
Fast forward to this year, Undefined Technologies showcases a 'multirotor' with ion propulsion.
