🚰 Arduino controlled smart irrigation system
There are plenty of projects out there that automate irrigation. Many focus on the problem of automatically reacting to dry soil by opening a single valve, but a fully automated system with one valve is not what I want for my lawn. I do not want the sprinklers to turn on unexpectedly and I had to solve a different type of problem: Managing a specific irrigation program with individual control over each sprinkler.
The brains in this case is an Arduino Nano 33 IoT, which is the first time I used one of these. In principle, you should be able to use pretty much any microcontroller, but if you want to control it via Wi-Fi, you quite obviously need one with Wi-Fi capabilities. If you want to run my code with only minor modifications, you probably also want to go for the Arduino, but if you do not mind some adaptation, an ESP32 would probably be the cheaper and much more common choice.

🔋 Big breakthrough for 'massless' energy storage
In groundbreaking new research, scientists have made a structural battery 10 times better than in any previous experiment
In the new paper, researchers from Chalmers University of Technology and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden reveal how their “massless” structural battery works.
To make the new structural battery, the scientists layered a buffer glass “fabric” between a positive and negative electrode, then packed it with a space-age polymer electrolyte and cured it in the oven. What results is a tough, flat battery cell that conducts well and holds up to tensile tests in all directions.
The battery’s combined qualities (or “multifunctionality”) make it 10 times better than any previous massless battery — a project scientists have worked on since 2007.

🤖 Robot axes, drive safety, and power architectures
Depending on the intended tasks, robots can have varying axes and various axis configurations - robot kinesiology
A robot axis of motion is often called a degree of freedom (DoF). Robots with higher DoFs have access to a greater amount of space and can perform more complex tasks.
1-axis robot is capable of linear motion in a single dimension.
2-axis: is usually composed of two linear guides that enable two-dimensional motion, such as an x, y, or y, z configuration.
3-axis: is a basic 2-axis design with an additional linear axis guide, or a cylindrical guide, that enables x, y, z motion.
4-axis: adds the ability to rotate the object that it is holding.
5-axis: adds the ability for two-dimensional rotation of the object it is holding.
6-axis: can mimic the motions of a human arm with three linear DoF and three rotational DoF.
7-axis: design placed on a rail or stage that enables it it to move from point A to B.

🎬 Introducing Stretch
Meet Stretch, a prototype of our new robot designed to automate box moving tasks in warehouses and distribution centers. Stretch’s mobile base allows it to go to where repetitive box lifting is required - unloading trucks, building pallets of boxes and order building. Stretch makes warehouse operations more efficient and safer for workers.

🤖 3D Printed Robot Arm
This robot arm is made almost entirely of 3D printed parts that snap together. It has three servo-controlled joints, plus a rotating base and gripper.
The arm is controlled by a series of buttons that connect to an Arduino Uno hidden in the base. A simple circuit makes connecting the servos and buttons to the Arduino easy and makes set-up and assembly very quick.

📰 How NASA's Oxygen-Making Machine Could Change Mars Forever
Whether for breathing or sending rockets back home, we'll need to make oxygen on Mars. Soon, we'll know if it's possible.
According to NASA’s estimates, a four-person crew will need a lot of propellant—approximately 15,000 pounds of fuel and roughly 55,000 pounds of oxygen—to generate the thrust needed to leave the Martian surface and return home. Lugging all of that oxygen from Earth is a hassle.
That’s where the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, comes in.
Roughly the size of a car battery, MOXIE is one of NASA's many in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) experiments and the first to travel to space. In essence, ISRU is the agency’s version of homesteading, and the experiments explore ways for future spacefarers to produce things from resources available on other worlds.
