Propellers have looked the same since the steamship era—until Sharrow Engineering threw out the rulebook. This Detroit-based upstart has unveiled a radical closed-loop propeller design that ditches the old blade-and-vortex model for something smoother, quieter, and up to 30% more efficient. It doesn’t just cut fuel use—it redefines control, eliminating the drag and turbulence that’s plagued marine propulsion for nearly two centuries. Now scaling up in a massive new Detroit facility, Sharrow isn’t just targeting weekend boaters—they’re gunning for the entire marine industry. The age of the spinning blade may finally be over. https://lnkd.in/ekp8ycYp FuturistSpeaker.com

I've been working hands on as a technician every weekend this summer. Much of my team is doing the same. That's what it takes to solve hard problems. And frankly, all design engineers should be spending as much time as we are building actual hardware. Paul Graham says it best in his essay Do things that don’t scale: Building yourself means you iterate designs faster and learn things quicker.

Humans can easily adapt to new environments, but robots can only operate in environments they’ve been trained in. Introducing π₀.₅ : our first step at changing that… We wheeled a π₀.₅ powered mobile manipulator into homes—trained predominantly (97%) on data from other robots and web-based multimodal tasks—into completely unseen homes. We gave it natural-language goals like “load the dishes” or “make the bed,” then stepped back and watched it handle these chores autonomously, without scene-specific tuning. Why this matters: - Cross-robot & Web Training: Only ~2% data from this mobile platform. - Unified Hierarchical VLA Policy: The same model outputs both high-level semantic plans and low-level motor commands. - Effective Generalization at Scale: Matches in-domain training after just ~100 diverse training homes. This isn’t just a research milestone; it’s a real step toward general-purpose robots in our daily lives. Check out the full paper and raw videos from Physical Intelligence: https://lnkd.in/gVYUH9Dm
