Robots drop. Arms build. Horses ride.

ADVANCEMENTS IN ROBOTICS

1. 🤖 Hugging Face just dropped a $100 Robotic Arm and it’s a game-changer: What if building with robotics didn’t require a lab, a degree, or a four-figure budget?

Hugging Face is turning that “what if” into reality with the launch of the SO-101, a fully programmable, 3D-printed robotic arm priced at just $100. Built in collaboration with The Robot Studio, the SO-101 isn’t a gimmick, it’s modular, open-source, and comes with AI training capabilities that sync with Hugging Face’s powerful ecosystem.

With smoother motor control, precision movement, and support for computer vision and automation tasks, this arm is designed for real-world tinkering whether you're in a classroom, coding bootcamp, or just hacking away in your garage.

But more importantly, it signals a mindset shift: Robotics isn’t just for labs anymore.

💡 Why it matters:

• It lowers the barrier to entry, think Arduino, but for robotics

• Brings hands-on AI learning to students, creators, and indie devs

• Advances the mission of accessible, ethical AI for all

This isn’t just a product, it’s an invitation. To build, to experiment, to learn. And at $100? It might just be the spark that launches a thousand future roboticists.

2. Autonomy​: Helm AI, a California-based startup has introduced cutting-edge AI-driven self-driving technology, aiming to revolutionize autonomous transportation. By leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms, this innovation promises to enhance safety and efficiency on the roads.

3. Transformers​: Researchers have developed microrobots powered by thin-film actuators capable of morphing and locking into various shapes. These untethered robots can transition between rolling and flying modes, opening new possibilities in search and rescue missions and biomedical applications.

4. Rideable: Kawasaki has introduced Corleo, a hydrogen-powered robotic horse designed for all-terrain travel. Equipped with AI for balance and navigation, and rubber hooves for adaptability, Corleo responds to rider movements in real-time. While still a concept, it showcases a fusion of traditional riding and futuristic technology.

GADGETS

1. Modularity: Nothing's CMF Phone 2 Pro brings modularity to smartphones, featuring a 120Hz OLED display and a suite of attachable accessories like camera lenses and kickstands. While offering enhanced customization, the requirement of a base cover for most modules raises questions about flexibility.

2. Powerhouse​: ASUS has launched its latest ROG series gaming laptops, including the Strix Scar, Zephyrus, and Flow lines. Equipped with Intel Core Ultra 9 and AMD Ryzen AI Max processors, these machines promise top-tier performance for gamers and creators.

3. Coolify​: Introducing Coolify Pro, a wearable air conditioner designed to keep you cool anytime, anywhere. With advanced thermo-electric cooling and up to 30 hours of battery life, this device offers a personal breeze on demand.

PROMPT OF THE WEEK

Prompt for suggesting 5 trial closing questions for a sales pitch meeting:

Act as a world-class sales coach and high-ticket closer.

Your task is to suggest 5 powerful trial closing questions that I can use during a meeting where I’m pitching a product or service. These questions should help gauge the buyer’s interest, uncover objections early, and smoothly guide the conversation toward a close — without being too pushy.

💼 CONTEXT:
- Product/Service Type: [e.g., B2B SaaS, digital marketing package, coaching program, enterprise tool]
- Target Client: [e.g., startup founder, corporate decision-maker, solo entrepreneur]
- Tone: Consultative, confident, and helpful — not aggressive

✅ DELIVERABLE:
List 5 trial closing questions with:
- One line of context for each: what the question helps you uncover or move toward.

Keep the language natural, flexible, and suited for mid-to-late stage in the meeting when the client is already engaged.
