Niryo’s goal is to allow everyone to learn robotics, and reproduce industrial use cases at home and at school.

Industrial robots are too expensive and hard to use. They do amazing things and allow great technological progress, but they are not accessible at all.
In a not so distant future our kids will be able to express their ideas through some form of coding without much difficulty. This will be possible thanks to projects like

The project was born at the Wyss Institute, a technology incubator at Harvard University, and brought to life by a highly skilled team whose members have many well-known consumer products and services under their belt. They have rich experience in creating coding robots such as the iRobot Create, Multiplo, AERobot or Kilobot. Earlier this year they founded Scansorial, a public benefit corporation headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a mission to make programming more accessible for everyone.
SBrick is slowly but steadily turning into a fully fledged development platform, complementing and enhancing existing LEGO building systems. With?

Naming the platform after Esl?v, a small town in Sweden, was not at random. Development took place for the most part in Malm?, Sweden as part of a 3-year program called PELARS (Practice-based Experiential Learning Analytics Research and Support) funded by the European Union. Such initiatives of exploring new methods of learning are essential nowadays, and this comes to emphasize Arduino’s commitment towards STEM education.
DJI unveiled today their much anticipated

Judging by its size, ease of operation and price tag the Mavic Pro can be considered as an upper entry level drone, addressing the needs of first time fliers or active sports persons who want to shoot without too much hassle. However its feature set, versatility and high quality results can be very appealing to more experienced and even professional users.
There’s no doubt that the Internet is becoming a safer and more secure environment as we speak. It goes without saying that something like this would not be possible without a collective effort from all of us – from regulatory institutions to content creators and, maybe the most important, you the user who are the main beneficiary of all these efforts and achievements.
However we can still see headlines reporting on security breaches experienced even by major websites, hence it is pretty clear that nowadays securing your online presence should no longer be optional, but rather a core pillar in everyone’s strategy. We can all do our part in making the Internet better, therefore I as a publisher need to do my part.
