    Anton wrote about his first steps into robotics and particularly about his Raspberry Pi + ESP32 drone. Anton designed parts in Blender and then printed them in 3D on a cheap 3D printer. The drone is controlled by an app, where users can monitor and monitor the drone with an analog-like app. Anton also made a video about it and attached it at the end of the article to the article.

    The nonlinear feedback controllers (NLFCs) are designed for real-time vehicle control on straight and circular roads. The straight-road NLFC ensures collision avoidance and speed control, while the circular-road NLFC handles circular movement and adaptive speed adjustments. Vehicle nudging and iso-distance modifications enhance safety and traffic flow.

    The internet began decentralized, designed to survive disruption. Over decades, it centralized into walled gardens and fragile empires. Yet seeds of resistance—open source, peer-to-peer, Bitcoin, IPFS—show the web’s DNA was always meant to be free. This prequel traces the path from bazaar to World Grid, setting the stage for a decentralized future.

    Self-driving cars are a difficult challenge to create, but autonomous long-haul trucks could arrive sooner. On the positive side, they'll improve safety and shipping speeds, help reduce worker shortages, and boost supply chain sustainability. Unfortunately, there will also be regulatory complications, job losses, and safety challenges as self-driving AI develops.
