@EugeneMcParland One thing that worries me about the Russo-Ukrainian War 🇷🇺🇺🇦 is the normalization of #robotic warfare. No matter how strongly we favor #Ukraine, the capture of a human military unit, from one of the world's foremost military powers, by a force composed entirely of automata, cannot augur well for the future of the world.

Ukraine’s new ground #drones in battlefield in ever-increasing numbers

#Ukraine’s first confirmed #UGV, often referred to as ground drones, #combat mission took place in Dec 2024 when Charter Brigade used one in Kharkiv Oblast: the 1st time domestic UGV participated in full #battlefield operation

Last week #Ukrainian forces for 1st time captured #RussianTroops without use of infantry, using only drones & ground-based #robotic systems

Listen to new episodes now and every two weeks on Wednesdays.

The guest for the first episode is Liang Li.

The Fish Imitator
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a tiny #fish travelling in a huge #school of other fish like you? Would it be much easier to swim with your friends rather than just by yourself? If so – how? Today, we are joined by Dr Liang Li who designs, builds, and optimises #robotic fish to study #energy saving mechanisms within fish schools.

#Ukrainian forces have for the 1st time #captured #RussianTroops relying solely on #drones & ground-based robots

For 1st time in history: #RussianSoldiers #surrendered to 3rd Assault Brigade’s ground drones

#Ukraine increasingly employs drone, #robotic technologies on #battlefield as part of strategy to minimize troop losses and adapt to evolving threats along the front line during Russia’s full-scale invasion.

#Ukraine approves new #Murakha ground robot for combat use

Murakha is tracked #robotic platform to support front-line units working under challenging conditions, such as under enemy #artillery & in heavily mined terrain

Its larger size makes it one of Ukraine’s leading #UGVs in terms of load capacity. It can reportedly carry over 1/2 a ton across dozens of kilometers. It can also cross difficult terrain and shallow water.

The robot vacuum cleaner that cleans everything but the floor.

chat-to.devThe robot vacuum cleaner that cleans everything but the floor.It’s a curious and quietly absurd irony: a robot vacuum cleaner that cleans everything but the floor. At first glance, it sounds like a manufacturing flaw, a design oversight, or maybe even the setup for a satirical headline. But if we sit with the phrase a little longer, it begins to unfold in a way that is far more revealing—not just about technology, but about us, the people who build it, buy it, trust it, and sometimes anthropomorphize it far beyond its intended purpose. Imagine this device, sleek and futuristic, gliding with quiet determination across a room. It hums softly, a low mechanical purr, scanning the space with its sensors, bumping gently into table legs, weaving its path under sofas, and mapping the world it was made to serve. And yet, for all its processing power and the promise it came with—of freeing us from the dull, repetitive labor of sweeping and vacuuming—it somehow fails at its one job: the floor remains dirty. What does it clean then? Perhaps it focuses instead on polishing the baseboards, brushing against chair legs with a meticulous attention usually reserved for obsessive artists. Maybe it spends its circuits and algorithms on perfectly aligning the corners of a rug or removing a nonexistent smudge from the skirting board. It might become enamored with the shine of the lower part of the refrigerator or devote itself entirely to grooming a patch of carpet that, ironically, never gathers dust. All while the breadcrumbs, pet hair, and dust bunnies accumulate undisturbed beneath it, as if in some unspoken act of rebellion or denial. And that’s where the metaphor begins to take root. Because this isn’t just about a defective piece of hardware—it’s about the modern condition. We build things to solve problems, but often they end up performing rituals. We crave solutions, but frequently we accept simulations of action. There’s a certain familiarity in the idea of something appearing useful, seeming active, giving the impression of progress, while completely missing the point. It’s bureaucracy in motion. It's the illusion of productivity. It’s our tendency to engineer answers that skirt around the uncomfortable or the messy. And then there’s the human attachment. We might laugh at this vacuum’s failure, scowl in frustration, or, oddly enough, come to view it with a kind of fond exasperation. Like the friend who always forgets their wallet or the coworker who shows up early but contributes nothing. You can’t help but see something of yourself in it—the earnestness, the misfires, the misaligned efforts. After all, who hasn’t spent an entire day being busy without achieving anything that actually mattered? The robot vacuum that cleans everything but the floor becomes, then, a gentle mirror. It reflects a world enamored with form over function, with appearances over substance. It speaks to how easily we can fall into patterns where the gesture replaces the deed, and where technology, meant to liberate us, sometimes embodies our most human missteps. So no, it’s not just a glitch. It’s not just a funny image. It’s a kind of quiet fable. And maybe that’s why it sticks with us—because we recognize its story, and perhaps even suspect that it’s telling ours.
