Elegoo, a rapidly developing brand in global smart manufacturing, joins Open Sauce today, one of the world's biggest gatherings of makers, creators, and tech innovators - at Booth A15 and A16, the San Mateo County Event Center.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are now widely used worldwide to tackle various real-world tasks, including filming videos for various purposes, monitoring crops or other environments from above, assessing disaster zones, and conducting military operations. Despite their widespread use, most existing drones either need to be fully or partly operated by human agents.

ChatGPT is rolling-out a new AI agent designed to do a number of tasks on your behalf – and without your supervision.

For writers, such an agent could be programmed to thoroughly research an article, write it – and then continually auto-update the article with new research.

For an excellent, in-depth review of ChatGPT Agent, check-out Dan Shipper’s piece.

*Under-the-Hood: A Look at Grammarly’s Soon-to-Be-Released Email Tool: Given that AI writing/proofing pioneer Grammarly just scooped-up the email tool ‘Superhuman’ to add to its productivity suite, you may want to find out why with this video tutorial.

The video’s takeaway: Once officially available with Grammarly, Superhuman can be set-up to act as your personal assistant, auto-categorizing and routing emails for you.

If you’re looking to dig even deeper, there’s a companion video also available on this same YouTube channel, hosted by Tiago Forte.

*Google Soups-Up Search For Paid Subscribers: Those who have ponied-up hard cash for the Gemini 2.5 Pro can now use that chatbot to power Google Search’s new ‘AI Mode.’

Essentially, instead of getting access to basic AI when searching using AI Mode, those paid subscribers will be able to enhance the search with Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Being a paid subscriber will also enable you to power AI Mode searches with Gemini 2.5 Pro’s Deep Search.

*Look-Out: Here Comes the ‘AI Memory Economy:’ Writer Wyatt Benno theorizes that selling your ideas — in course or book form — is about to become so 2025.

Observes Benno: “Instead of selling a course once, experts monetize ongoing access to their evolving knowledge base through their personal, blockchain-secured vector database.

“Every new insight, every refined framework, every learned lesson gets vectorized and becomes instantly queryable by subscribers.”

*Building Your Own AI Agent: A Video How-To: General interest AI newsletter “The Neuron” has put together an excellent guide on how to design your own AI agent.

Essentially, “The Neuron” scoured YouTube for the very best videos on designing agents and put them together in a single, easy-to-understand text guide.

The best part: You won’t need to be a pro-coder to level-up your agent-building skills with this guide.

*ChatGPT Plus Users Get Meeting Recording, Transcripts, Summaries: Users of ChatGPT Plus can now use the AI to quickly record meetings – as well as generate transcripts and summaries of those meetings.

Dubbed ‘Record Mode,” the feature was previously only available to users of higher-tier, ChatGPT subscriptions.

Observes writer Lance Whitney: The AI “converts the spoken audio into a text transcript. From there, you can tell ChatGPT to analyze or summarize the content — and ask specific questions about the topics discussed.”

*Now You Can Chat-Up an AI Expert for Advice and Insight: Google is expanding its repertoire of pre-configured experts – such as Shakespeare, a top psychologist and economic analysts –that you can chat-up using your smartphone, PC, or other computerized device.

The experts ‘live’ as notebooks on Google’s NotebookLM. It’s an AI tool that enables you to store all sorts of text that you can chat with – or even transform into conversational podcasts.

Observes writer Webb Wright: “These notebooks cover subjects like science, practical travel tips, expert advice on parenting and well-being, finance and the complete works of Shakespeare.”

*Just for Fun: Three AI Agents Realize They’re All AI – Then Switch to ‘Secret Communications Mode’: Yes it’s come to this: AI has become so advanced, we’re at the point where three, AI-powered smartphones can now collaborate like human beings – and be just as inefficient.

Essentially, this video brings new meaning to the phrase: “Open the pod bay doors Hal.”

*China Dead Serious About Becoming Major AI Player: Writer Meaghan Tobin reports China is spending billions to become an AI titan.

Observes Tobin: “China is quickly closing the gap with the United States in the contest to make technologies that rival the human brain.

“This is not an accident. The Chinese government has spent a decade funneling resources toward becoming an AI superpower.”

*AI BIG PICTURE: Saudi Arabia Gears-Up to Train One Million Citizens in AI: From the Department of Not Fooling Around: Saudi Arabia has committed to getting a million of its citizens up-to-speed on AI.

How?

Starting with the country’s next academic year, students will embrace AI as part of their core training in math and computer science.

Observes writer Manal Albarakati: “The efforts to prepare the local workforce are part of the kingdom’s ‘Vision 2030’ strategy to localize technology, develop Arabic-language models — and reduce reliance on imported tools and expertise.”

As enterprises scale their use of artificial intelligence, a hidden governance crisis is unfolding—one that few security programs are prepared to confront: the rise of unowned AI agents. These agents are not speculative. They’re already embedded across enterprise ecosystems—provisioning access, […]

For search and rescue, AI is not more accurate than humans, but it is far faster.

Through onboard intelligence and cloud connectivity, Exia delivers personalized support, injury prevention, and ergonomic optimization – essentially becoming a smart, adaptive partner for physical work.

Teaching a robot new skills used to require coding expertise. But a new generation of robots could potentially learn from just about anyone.

While roboticists have introduced increasingly advanced systems over the past decades, most existing robots are not yet able to manipulate objects with the same dexterity and sensing ability as humans. This, in turn, adversely impacts their performance in various real-world tasks, ranging from household chores to the clearing of rubble after natural disasters and the assembly or performing maintenance tasks, particularly in high-temperature working environments such as steel mills and foundries, where elevated temperatures can significantly degrade performance and compromise the precision required for safe operations.

A cheetah's powerful sprint, a snake's lithe slither, or a human's deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones work together to provide the energy, precision, and range of motion needed to perform the complex movements seen throughout the animal kingdom.

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their environment. Now, scientists at Columbia University have developed robots that can physically "grow," "heal," and improve themselves by integrating material from their environment or from other robots.

In the midst of the co-development of artificial intelligence and robotic advancements, developing technologies that enable robots to efficiently perceive and respond to their surroundings like humans has become a crucial task. In this context, Korean researchers are gaining attention for newly implementing an artificial sensory nervous system that mimics the sensory nervous system of living organisms without the need for separate complex software or circuitry. This breakthrough technology is expected to be applied in fields such as in ultra-small robots and robotic prosthetics, where intelligent and energy-efficient responses to external stimuli are essential.
