As the newest generation platform within the RIPSAW family of vehicles, the M3 inherits the proven functionality and reliability of its predecessor in a more modular, mission-capable system, enhancing both soldier safety and mission success, according to the company.

The vehicle incorporates the familiar large, open deck area from the RIPSAW M5 robotic vehicle, and 10kW of offload power provides the flexibility to support multiple lethality, RSTA, combat engineering, and logistics payloads. With a powerful hybrid electric drivetrain and novel suspension, the RIPSAW M3 provides unmatched mobility with over 180 miles of range.

The company has completed over 2,500 miles of pre-delivery durability testing and refinement to ensure a rugged, reliable platform.

Rigid, lizard-like tails are simple, but mammal-style tails may be lighter and better for space. Researchers studied how tails aid midair maneuverability in animals and robots, focusing on inertial appendages that generate body rotation.

Inspired by lizards and geckos, roboticists have designed rigid, single-plane tails to enhance stability and control in aerial and terrestrial robots. Some robotic tails aid in landing, flight reorientation, and high-speed turns. However, vertebrate (like cats and squirrels) tails are more complex, consisting of multiple vertebrae that allow for diverse movements.

By analyzing mammalian tails, researchers found that increasing bone segments within the same length enhances rotational ability. To evaluate tail effectiveness, they developed simulations optimizing tail trajectories for precise body rotations. Unlike previous models that assumed rigid structures, their approach considers deformability and realistic control constraints.

As robots increasingly handle everyday tasks, skilled engineers and effective strategies become indispensable when malfunctions occur.

Japan-based Kirin Holdings has showcased its new electric spoon at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025) in Las Vegas.

What makes it different from any other ordinary spoon in the market is that it can make the food seem saltier, and by that, it also means tastier.

As per Kirin, the device uses electricity to raise the saltiness and umami in low-sodium foods.
