Modular Robot Legs Operate Independently With Integrated Systems
By
–
This robot can be torn apart and still keeps moving.
— Rowan Cheung (@rowancheung) 14 avril 2026
Northwestern researchers built modular robot legs that each operate as fully independent machines:
> Own battery
> Own motor
> Own sensors
> Own brain
A single module can jump, roll, and turn on its own.

Microsoft's AI can now detect cancer from a $10 tissue sample.
— Rowan Cheung (@rowancheung) 13 avril 2026
For context, every time tumor cells are tested, doctors create a basic microscope slide to study tissue up close.
These slides show cell shapes and structures, but they can't reveal which immune cells are actually… pic.twitter.com/DYVirCxMWyMicrosoft's AI can now detect cancer from a $10 tissue sample.

Meta's new AI can predict your brain better than a brain scan.
— Rowan Cheung (@rowancheung) 9 avril 2026
TRIBE v2 is a foundation model trained on 1,000+ hours of brain imaging data from 720 people.
You feed it a video, sound clip, or text, and it predicts:

Half the world's habitable land is farmland. This is AI being applied to one of the oldest industries on earth and I think we're going to see a lot more of this. pic.twitter.com/y7P1zghe4LHalter now manages nearly 650,000 cows, and is currently raising at a $2B valuation.
