Universal IR Remote Dongle: The Last Remote You’ll Ever Need
Tired of juggling multiple remotes that always seem to disappear right when you need them? The Universal IR Remote Dongle solves this everyday frustration with a powerful, affordable, and truly open-source solution.This palm-sized ESP32 device functions as both an IR learner and blaster.
Autonomous vehicle innovation is often constrained by proprietary hardware, limited reproducibility, and research platforms designed around a single vehicle architecture. Nigel overcomes these limitations by introducing the first known open-hardware, open-software autonomous vehicle platform that combines comprehensive autonomy capabilities with re-configurable mechatronic redundancy in a compact 1:14 form factor.
This is just a demo model and subject to change, and not indicative of the entire project vision design. All of this is subject to change -- materials, specs, as we have 20 attachments for this base unit.
The plethora of uses and applications of this on Earth and in space, and the full breadth of this is vision,
Electric utility companies in developing regions lose millions of dollars due to unplanned power outages. Particularly, in Honduras only, energy losses reach 38%, which are among the highest in Central America, with unscheduled outages accounting for nearly 30% of the total offline time. Currently, in Honduras and neighboring regions the outages are addressed in a reactive manner,
Conventional Electric Vehicles (EVs) rely entirely on stationary grid charging, leaving drivers vulnerable to range anxiety, phantom battery drain while parked and an insufficient charging station-to-EV ratio, especially in many emerging and developing countries (ratio of 1:10 is recommended by IEA). Current Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) rely on rigid, heavy silicon panels. These components ruin vehicle aerodynamics,
Smart glasses have struggled for years due to high cost, excessive weight, poor comfort, and limited versatility. OryOh VisionWare solves this with a revolutionary tethered architecture: the glasses house lightweight sensors, optics, and displays, while the user’s smartphone provides compute, battery, and connectivity through a hair-thin CYPhy-inspired microfilament tether.
Someone dies in a road accident in India roughly every three minutes. Per India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, overspeeding alone is linked to 71% of those fatalities — the single largest identifiable cause, ahead of all other violations combined. Separately, IIHS/NHTSA studies of 98 million vehicles show automatic emergency braking cuts rear-end crashes roughly in half.
Current software-signing architectures depend on centralized Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services to establish trust. In disconnected, air-gapped, tactical, or highly regulated environments, this dependency creates operational limitations, creates a single point of failure, and limits the ability to independently verify software integrity. While post-quantum cryptographic algorithms protect against future computational threats,
Burt Rutan, founder of Scaled Composites, gave a talk discussing aircraft designs he would like to see constructed, tested, and improved. The model 382-4 as he described weighed roughly 1,400 pounds. Using AI, OpenVSP,
