Dan O'Dowd, CEO of a software company that sells automotive driving software services and an outspoken critic of Tesla (his competitor), thinks that Musk is secretly grateful for the NHTSA inquiry.

'You can almost hear Elon's sigh of relief,' O'Dowd said in a Monday X post. 'He now has an excuse for canceling Tesla's June robotaxi launch.'

This five-legged robot unfolds to reveal a fascinating walking gait and works as a literal platform! Adam and Mark (‪@msetrakian‬) discuss its design and capabilities and how it relates to Mark's previous studies in robotic movement.

Help for space rovers
https://techxplore.com/news/2025-07-robotic-space-rovers-stuck-figured.html
Through simulation, Dan Negrut, a professor of mechanical engineering at UW–Madison, and his collaborators determined that Earth's gravity pulls down on sand much more strongly than the gravity on Mars or the moon does. On Earth, sand is more rigid and supportive—reducing the likelihood it will shift under a vehicle's wheels. But the moon's surface is "fluffier" and therefore shifts more easily—meaning rovers have less traction, which can hinder their mobility.

Friction stir unbound
https://techxplore.com/news/2025-09-fixturing-friction-technique-barriers.html"Once this is perfected, there will be no fixturing, no anvil, and no force transmitted into the assembly line," Blocher said. "The only job of the robot will be to hold the friction stir attachment in place and to maintain the correct position."

After that, the researchers will package self-fixturing friction stir into a more ergonomic, "industry-hardened" form so that the technology can be applied on real-world assembly lines.
