Step-by-step tutorial: connect the TDK InvenSense ICM-45686 6-axis MEMS IMU module to an Arduino UNO via SPI. Learn wiring diagrams, library installation, Polling_SPI example code, and how to read accelerometer, gyroscope, and temperature data in real time.

Xidian University researchers unveil DynUAV, a new CVPR 2026 benchmark that breaks the smooth-motion assumption in drone multi-object tracking. With 42 sequences, 37,893 frames, and over 1.7M annotations, it rigorously tests MOT algorithms under aggressive maneuvers, motion blur, and extreme viewpoint shifts.

Learn how to select open-source flight controller hardware like an engineer: MCU (STM32H7 vs F4), industrial vs consumer IMU temperature behavior, sensor redundancy (barometer, compass, GPS), MAVLink v2, CAN bus, redundant power design, and expansion planning. A practical guide from real field failures to engineering-level selection criteria.

Discover why changing an anti-drone interceptor airframe from cylindrical to teardrop demands a full redesign of AI tracking, flight control PID loops, and ESC power curves. Learn the science behind aerodynamic-stability mismatches and how Aomway approaches full-system co-development for real-world interception reliability.

A complete compass & GPS interference troubleshooting guide for APM/ArduPilot and PX4: symptom-based diagnosis, log curve signatures, the 6 most common interference sources, APM/PX4 parameter tables, 5 wiring commandments, and a real 3-step log analysis case study.

OpenVINS is an open-source visual-inertial odometry platform that fuses camera + IMU into real-time 6-DoF localization when GPS fails. Multi-camera support, calibration, simulation, and dataset evaluation make it a reusable VIO research and engineering base.

Discover the egg-crate phased array — an origami-inspired, additively manufactured antenna from Georgia Tech that combines physical folding with RFIC beam steering to synthesize near-limitless radiation patterns for 5G, mmWave, automotive radar, and satellite applications.

After accidentally burning a $1,000 robotics platform, Julia learned ROS2 Jazzy in 8 hours using pure software: turtlesim, nodes/topics/services, packages, mcap recording, and Raspberry Pi cross-device control. A complete beginner-safe ROS learning route.

QL-X930H is an industrial video OSD character overlay module compatible with AHD/CVBS surveillance. One module handles encoder length measurement, multi-channel counting, analog acquisition, and MODBUS-RTU RS485 sensor data with on-screen real-time overlay.

OSUG is an open-source underwater glider that uses a 3D-printed hull, Atmel-based autopilot, and a homemade buoyancy engine to navigate underwater for weeks. Explore its features, build route, and use cases for marine science, aquaculture, and environmental monitoring.
