Jorge E. Higuera Portilla ha compartido estoYesterday I was at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona and recorded a short clip that illustrates something many people in robotics underestimate: Robot hands may become the next major bottleneck in humanoid robotics. A lot of attention today is focused on AI models, autonomy, and large-scale robot manufacturing. But when you look closely at real-world deployments, manipulation remains one of the hardest problems. Why? Because a robotic hand must simultaneously solve several difficult engineering challenges: • Dexterity – human-level manipulation requires many degrees of freedom and coordinated control. • Force control – grasping fragile vs heavy objects demands extremely precise torque and impedance control. • Sensing – tactile feedback, slip detection, and proprioception are still far from human capability. • Reliability – hands experience the highest mechanical stress and duty cycles in many applications. • Cost & manufacturability – high-performance actuation and sensing must scale to thousands of units. This combination makes robot hands one of the strongest potential moats in the humanoid robotics industry. Companies that solve the following simultaneously will likely lead the next wave of robotics: ✔ High torque-density actuators ✔ Integrated tactile sensing ✔ Robust transmission systems ✔ Manufacturable designs at scale In other words: AI may drive the brain of humanoids, but hands will determine what they can actually do in the physical world. From what I saw at MWC this year, the race to master robotic manipulation is just beginning. #Robotics #HumanoidRobots #PhysicalAI #RobotHands #MWC2026

Jorge E. Higuera Portilla ha compartido estoJorge E. Higuera Portilla ha compartido estoThe clearest image ever taken of Phobos, Moon of Mars. Phobos is the larger, inner moon of Mars, named after the Greek god of fear. It was discovered in 1877 by Asaph Hall, along with Deimos, Mars' other moon. Phobos orbits Mars closely, embodying the mythological aspect of fear as the son of Ares (Mars). Phobos is gradually moving closer to Mars, descending at about 1.8 meters every hundred years, potentially leading to a collision or breaking apart to form a ring. Its surface features many grooves, formed by boulders ejected from the large Stickney crater rolling across the moon

Jorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado estoJorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado esto¿Por qué los chips de Cerebras son mucho más rápidos que los de NVIDIA? Andrew Feldman, cofundador de Cerebras, nos cuenta en un vídeo. Las GPUs de NVIDIA fueron diseñadas para gráficos. Un problema donde mueves datos una vez, haces mucho cómputo, y devuelves resultados a memoria. Por eso usan HBM (memoria DRAM externa): mucha capacidad, pero lenta y lejos del cómputo. La inferencia en LLMs es exactamente el problema contrario. Para generar cada token, TODOS los pesos del modelo tienen que viajar desde la memoria hasta el cómputo. La memoria es el cuello de botella, no el procesamiento. Cerebras le dio la vuelta al tablero: 🔹 En vez de cortar el wafer de silicio en cientos de chips pequeños (como hace todo el mundo), usan el wafer ENTERO con 4 BILLONES de transistores como un único procesador 🔹 En vez de HBM externa, meten 44 GB de SRAM directamente en el chip, con 21 petabytes/segundo de ancho de banda de memoria 🔹 En vez de orquestar miles de GPUs con redes de interconexión complejas, eliminan el problema por completo: todo está en el mismo trozo de silicio Los números hablan solos. El ancho de banda de memoria del WSE-3 es 7.000x mayor que el de una H100. En inferencia, el CS-3 ejecuta Llama 4 Maverick a 2.500 tokens por segundo por usuario, más del doble que el buque insignia de NVIDIA, el DGX B200 Blackwell. 💥 Cerebras simplifica el SISTEMA haciendo más compleja la FABRICACIÓN. En vez de resolver el problema de conectar miles de chips entre sí (que es lo que hace NVIDIA con NVLink, NVSwitch, InfiniBand...), resuelve el problema de fabricar un chip gigante con tolerancia a defectos. Un problema de ingeniería duro, pero que solo tienes que resolver UNA VEZ.

Jorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado estoJorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado esto🤖 The future of humanoid robots is not just about smarter AI. It’s about whether robotic hands can become usable, manufacturable, and durable at scale. A dexterous robotic hand is essentially a miniature high-precision industrial system packed into a human-sized structure. Behind every “human-like grasp” are dozens of critical components working together: 🔹 Fingertip tactile sensors for force and slip detection 🔹 Tendon-driven systems for lightweight flexible motion 🔹 Micro harmonic reducers for compact precision transmission 🔹 Embedded controllers for real-time adaptive grasping 🔹 Flexible PCBs for high-density signal routing 🔹 Torque sensors for force control and safety 🔹 Frameless torque motors for compact power output 🔹 Micro ball screws for precision linear motion 🔹 Carbon fiber & titanium structures for lightweight durability The challenge is no longer simply “Can robots move?” The real question is: Can they operate reliably for millions of cycles, at controllable cost, and at production scale? As humanoid robotics enters the 2.0 era, supply-chain capability becomes just as important as algorithms. #HumanoidRobot #Robotics #DexterousHand #AI #EmbeddedSystems #Sensors #SmartManufacturing

Jorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado estoJorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado estoAt first glance, it looks complicated. The engineering idea is surprisingly elegant. 🤖 The Tripteron robot uses a unique parallel kinematic design to achieve fast, precise movement with a relatively simple mechanical architecture. Unlike traditional robotic arms, the motion is generated through coordinated linear axes, allowing the end effector to move efficiently through 3D space. 🎥 Media: Zaber Technologies ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

Jorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado estoJorge E. Higuera Portilla ha recomendado esto😵💫 LOCURA FINANCIERA en Europa: Construir cercos con paneles solares es más barato que con ladrillos. Parece un invento de las redes sociales, pero en países como Alemania, el Reino Unido y los Países Bajos ya es una tendencia real en la construcción. Y ojo, la razón principal no es "salvar al planeta"; es una decisión fríamente financiera. Cualquier ingeniero te diría que colocar un panel solar completamente vertical (a 90 grados, como un muro) es una herejía técnica. Se pierde muchísima eficiencia porque el sol no impacta de frente. Pero aquí es donde la economía le gana a la física: El exceso de producción global ha hecho que el precio de los paneles colapse en los últimos años. Hoy, el panel es tan ridículamente barato que la eficiencia máxima pasó a un segundo plano frente al costo del material. Si tienes que cercar un terreno o una nave industrial, la matemática es la siguiente: ▪️Opción A (Tradicional): Comprar miles de ladrillos, cemento, varillas y pagar semanas de albañilería. Retorno de inversión (ROI): $0. El muro simplemente existe y no hace nada más. ▪️Opción B (La nueva tendencia): Levantar una estructura metálica rápida y colgar paneles solares (muchos de ellos "bifaciales", que captan luz por ambos lados). El costo total hoy es menor que el de la opción tradicional. Es cierto, ese panel vertical solo va a captar el 50% o 60% del sol comparado con uno en el techo. Pero la lógica de negocios es implacable: un panel trabajando al 50% te genera electricidad y paga tus recibos; un ladrillo trabajando al 100% sigue siendo una piedra. Al final, la barda solar recupera su propio costo. La lección de negocios: Estamos llegando a un punto en la historia donde la tecnología de generación de energía se ha vuelto tan accesible que ya compite como un simple material de construcción básico. La verdadera innovación no siempre consiste en crear algo nuevo, sino en encontrar la forma de utilizar la tecnología existente de una manera económicamente imbatible. #Negocios #Innovacion #EnergiaSolar #EstrategiaFinanciera #RealEstate #Management #Growth

Smart lighting is an underlying concept that links three main aspects: solid-state lighting (SSL) technologies, advanced control and universal communication interfaces following global standards. However, this conceptualization is constantly evolving to comply with the guidelines of the next generation of devices that work in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Modern smart lighting systems are based on light emitting diode (LED) technology and involve advanced drivers that have features such as dynamic spectral light reproduction and advanced sensing capabilities. The ultimate feature is of additional advanced services serving as the hub for optical communications that allows coexistence with traditional Wi-Fi gateways in indoor environments. In this context, lighting systems are evolving to support different wireless communications interfaces compatible with the IoT ecosystem. Market tendencies of SSL systems predict the accelerated expansion of connected IoT lighting control systems in different markets from smart homes and industrial environments. These systems offer advanced features never seen before such as advanced spectral control of the light source and also, the inclusion of several communication interfaces. These are mainly wired, radiofrequencies (RF) and optical wireless communications (OWC) interfaces for advanced services such as sensing and visible light communications (VLC). In this paper we present how to design and realize IoT-based smart lighting systems for different applications using different IoT-centric lighting architectures. Finally, different standards and aspects related to interoperability and web services are explained taking into account commercial smart lighting platforms.

Summary
The impending energy crisis brought on by the running out of finite and non-homogenously distributed fossil fuel reserves and the worldwide increase in energy demand has prompted vast research in the development of sustainable energy technologies in the last few decades. However, the efficiency of most of these new technologies is relatively small and therefore it needs to be increased to eventually replace conventional technologies based on fossil fuels. The required efficiency increase primarily relies on the ability to improve the performance of the functional materials which are at the heart of these technologies. The purpose of this book is to give a unified and comprehensive presentation of the fundamentals and the use and design of novel materials for efficient sustainable energy applications, such as conversion, storage, transmission, and consumption. The book presents general coverage of the use and design of advanced materials for sustainable energy applications. Thus, the book addresses all the relevant aspects, such as materials for energy conversion, storage, transmission, and consumption.Otros autores -

Advanced LED technology for automotive applications. The Lighting Group of IREC is currently collaborating with the company LPI (Light Prescriptions Innovators) Europe in the development of an innovative line of front and rear lights for the automotive industry characterized by generating a uniform light pattern across the whole visible surface, taking into account the car body style. This innovation enables wide variety of aesthetics and design possibilities since the light system perfectly blends with the exterior car lines. This system is based on two main columns. On one hand, the ultra-thin Camaleón optics, conceived by LPI Europe, suitable to comply with the usual space restrictions in vehicle designs. On the other hand, the electronics, totally developed by the Lighting Group of IREC and based on LED technology, it is composed by a single LED array with different emission wavelengths by an exclusive control software, all the functionalities of front and rear lights. In short, Camaleón light is a very compact technology that substantially reduces the space within the car devoted to lighting which is especially due to its ultra-compact optical system and its monolithic LED system capable of covering all the car lighting and signalling functions (positioning, brake, blinker, etc.) with a single PCB.
The project is coordinated by the cluster SECPhO (Southern European Cluster in Photonics and Optics), within the framework of the CAMALEON project, funded by the Ministerio de Industria Energía y Turismo through its specific call to “Agrupaciones Empresariales Innovadoras, (AEI’S)” (Innovation Business Clusters).Otros creadores -
