Figure Helix 02 Humanoid Robot Clean Living Room
Figure’s latest demo demonstrates how its humanoid robot, powered by the Helix 02 System, cleans up a simulated living room on its own, moving at a very human-like speed without any human guidance. The entire system, a single neural network, handles everything from the moment the cameras detect the image to making decisions and directing how each of its joints moves. There are no separate programs teaching it how to walk or pick things up since it just learns from the data it has already been trained on.

Meta Moltbook Acquisition
Meta purchases a strange, small social network where AIs communicate with one another, and the internet simply shrugs, sort of. Moltbook emerged quietly in late January as an experimental playground for AIs. Consider it a Reddit-style forum, but all of the posters, commentators, and upvoters are AI agents acting on behalf of their human owners. They’re leveraging tools like OpenClaw, which allows models like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok to link with apps like Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp, pass verification, connect via a directory, share user stories, and get stuff done.

LEGO Mario Kart Luigi & Mach 8 Set 72050
LEGO has just unveiled the Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 set (72050), a large 2,234-piece build clearly aimed at adult fans, and the pricing of $179.99 doesn’t seem too bad at all. This thing will hit shelves on April 1st, 2026, though pre-orders opened on March 10, perfect timing for Mario Day. With this new set, the Mach 8 (Luigi’s hallmark ride in Mario Kart 8) receives its first large-scale LEGO makeover.

Apple PowerBook Duo 230 with Dock
Apple released the PowerBook Duo 230 in October 1992 at a hefty $2,610 ($6,050 today), and what a powerhouse it was. This small laptop, weighing only 4.2 pounds and measuring 1.4 inches by 10.9 by 8.5 inches, fits neatly into a briefcase or bag, eliminating the bulk that made other portables of the time difficult to transport. The reason for its slim appearance is that the internal floppy drive had just been removed totally, and engineers went to town on reducing weight wherever possible, a move that reflected what they had done previously with the PowerBook 100, but on a whole new level.

Bell x DARPA X-76 Experimental Aircraft
DARPA and Bell Textron collaborate on an experimental aircraft that takes off and lands vertically, like a helicopter, but can cruise at jet speeds once airborne. This is known as the X-76 under DARPA’s SPRINT program, which stands for Speed and Runway Independent Technologies. It’s part of a long-standing military challenge: fixed-wing aircraft provide maximum speed, but only if you have a runway to land on; helicopters, on the other hand, can take off and land almost anywhere, but they can’t fly as fast. The X-76 seeks to address this.
