This misbehaving robot wants to scribble all over your walls (video)

There’s still no robot that can successfully fake unconditional love or a child’s innocent laughter. But now, thanks to a team of German tinkerers, there is one that can emulate a child’s uninvited wall art.

Vertwalker is a project by the Berlin-based creative studio Sonice Development. Using a series of custom sensors, it darts from one edge of the wall space to the other, dragging a marker or crayon behind it as it goes, creating giant matrix of colorful lines.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
