[Submitted on 8 May 2025] View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Miniaturizing legged robot platforms is challenging due to hardware limitations that constrain the number, power density, and precision of actuators at that size. By leveraging design principles of quasi-passive walking robots at any scale, stable l

Texas Instruments (TI) unveiled what it claims to be “the world’s smallest microcontroller (MCU)” at Embedded World 2025. The tiny new MSPM0C1104 measures just 1.38 mm², which TI says is about the same size as a black pepper flake. TI is targeting medical wearables and personal electronic applications for the new MSPM0C1104, which it claims

I am sure most of us must have heard or read about some of the US’ biggest banks, such as JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and the Bank of America.But what about the smallest? Can you guess which is the smallest American bank? Most of us won’t know it, right?Bank With No Fees, No Website

2023-03-04 This December I once again did the Advent of Code, in Rust. If you are interested, my solutions are on Github. I wanted to highlight one particular solution to the day 2 problem as it is both optimized completely beyond the point of reason yet contains a useful technique. For simplicity we’re only going
