    How Ruiman Fly Boat logistics AMRs connect inbound receiving, put-away, and outbound shipping

    Ruiman Fly Boat logistics AMRs, with a 300 kg payload and optional 100 mm lifting, replace fixed conveyors and manual carts in receiving, put-away, replenishment, picking, and shipping. They use laser SLAM navigation, so when SKUs or capacity change, only the map software needs updating. Tasks can be triggered by WMS/MES/ERP orders, one-touch call buttons, or PLC and conveyor signals, and with elevator and automatic door modules the AMRs operate across floors and in controlled areas. In one electronics factory deployment, the AMR carried 200 kg of cargo through a 1.15 m wide elevator car without manual assistance.

    Author open-sources ~$20 dual-encoder closed-loop stepper driver that compensates for gearbox backlash in software

    A developer designed an open-source closed-loop stepper driver for their 3D-printed robotic arm. It uses dual encoders to separately measure motor position and the actual joint position after the reducer, compensating for backlash in software rather than relying on a high-precision reducer. The driver is based on the ESP32-S3 and TMC2209, and the author aims to keep the cost at about $20. The code is already on GitHub. The author also asks whether anyone has made similar attempts and how to handle backlash compensation without destabilizing the control loop.

    DTU joint project uses PVD coatings and metasurfaces to alter drone radar signatures

    DTU is collaborating with Aarhus University, the Danish Technological Institute, and companies including TICRA and Arctic Unmanned to use physical vapor deposition (PVD) to produce ultrathin coatings that enhance or reduce drone radar reflection signals. Initial tests on simple shapes such as rectangular plates and cylinders achieved significant attenuation of reflected signals. The next step will be to adapt the method to drones with more complex geometries and test its radar detection effects in real environments. Another route in the project is to develop tunable artificial metasurfaces, which are said to potentially cost less to manufacture than PVD processing.

    Evolutionary algorithm generates multicopter body morphologies with agile flight performance superior to standard quadcopters

    The paper uses an evolutionary algorithm to search for multicopter body morphologies suited to different objectives and constraints, and uses the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) to generate a set of bodies with performance trade-offs. Compared with a standard quadcopter, the Pareto front extrema improve maneuverability, thrust-to-weight ratio, and size by 489.2%, 23%, and 4.8%, respectively; the maneuverability improvement comes from motor tilt angles, and the thrust-to-weight ratio improvement comes from more propellers. Real drone racing experiments show that the evolved bodies outperform the standard body in number of gates passed, flight speed, and lap time.
