Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics ER 2 as the high-level reasoning layer in a new trio of models built for robots that need to move, plan, and work alongside people or other machines. This version sits above the motor-control systems and acts as the coordinator.
Summer on Michigan’s Great Lakes beaches brings clear water and soft sand, but it also brings a pile of coolers, chairs, towels, and everything else a family needs for a full day. Dragging that load from the parking area to a good spot gets old fast, especially when the temperature climbs. John Boss decided the usual wagon was still too much work. He built a remote-controlled cart that rolls the gear for him.
Evan Blass has shared a collection of high-resolution images that look like they came straight from Google’s own marketing materials for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Posted through his Leakmail newsletter on July 30, the shots capture the foldable from nearly every angle in a muted green finish called Pine. This shade sits a step darker than last year’s Jade, paired with a light gold frame and matching Google logo that give the phone a quiet, refined presence.
HOVERAir just revealed Versa, a camera that lives in two worlds at once. Hold it and you get a compact, three-axis stabilized shooter small enough for a pocket. Snap on a set of protected wings and the same module lifts off, follows you, and films from the air without a controller or any flying skill.
Crowded train stations, busy markets, and packed sidewalks all share one quiet problem. Your attention stays locked on the bag hanging from your shoulders instead of the place you came to see. Travelon built the Anti-Theft Active Packable Backpack, priced at $24.07 (was $60.50), specifically to fix that.
