Honda and Redwire are exploring a robotic research system for future commercial space stations that combines Honda’s multi-fingered robotic hand with Redwire’s STAARK robotic arm and experiment-locker technology. The companies’ Oct. 1 announcement describes a concept intended to automate portions of experiment handling, sample transfer and other routine laboratory work in orbit. The idea is…

Large networks can learn hundreds or thousands of routes. Route summarization lets a router advertise one broader route that represents several smaller, contiguous networks. The result can be a smaller routing table and a cleaner routing design. This engineering lesson builds on OSNEC.001: OSPF Fundamentals. Here, the focus is the underlying summarization calculation before applying…

A six-foot humanoid built for factories is now being pitched for one of the most unforgiving workplaces on Earth: the battlefield. Foundation Future Industries’ Phantom MK-1 is a roughly human-sized black humanoid the company is developing for defense and industrial work. NBC News put the machine in the national spotlight this week, showing Phantom walking,…

Armv8-M is a 32-bit processor architecture designed for microcontrollers, embedded systems, IoT devices, industrial controllers, secure hardware, sensors and other systems where low power consumption, deterministic behavior and a relatively small silicon footprint are important. It belongs to Arm’s M-profile architecture family, rather than the higher-performance A-profile used by application processors or the R-profile designed…

Agility Robotics and FORT Robotics are extending humanoid safety beyond the robot itself, adding an external bridge that can connect Digit 5 with the safety systems already operating across a factory, warehouse or logistics facility. The companies announced the expanded partnership on October 1. Their new three-part architecture combines a safety pendant, on-robot communications and…

Bitdeer has secured customer commitments for more than 70% of its 21.7 MW A201 AI data center in Johor Bahru, Malaysia before the facility has even been energized, attaching more than $1.7 billion in expected five-year revenue to a site scheduled to power on in the first quarter of 2027. The company’s September 29 disclosure…

OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First. It is an open-standard link-state interior gateway protocol used by routers to learn network topology and calculate routes inside an autonomous system. This is the first Open-Source Networking Engineer Certification (OSNEC) lesson. The technician pathway teaches device addressing and verification; the engineer pathway now moves into routing behavior,…

A MAC address, short for Media Access Control address, identifies a network interface on a local network. You will commonly see it written as six pairs of hexadecimal characters, such as 3C:52:82:1A:4F:90. In OSNTC.001, you learned that an IP address identifies where a device communicates on an IP network. A MAC address serves a different…

A string is text stored in a program. In C++, std::string can hold words, player names, messages, and labels. Unlike the numbers we stored in OSC++.012, a string stores a sequence of characters. This is a new subject, not another vector lesson. 1. Make a String The #include <string> line makes the standard string type…
