Researchers at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand have created a visual showing how regional transport demand, measured as passenger and freight activity, could evolve through 2050. The maps break down demand by mode, including road, rail, marine, and aviation, across regions. Each map shows where demand is expected to grow, with darker blue regions indicating stronger increases and lighter areas more modest change. This helps planners understand where transport systems will face the most pressure and where infrastructure and energy investments may be needed.
Take a look.

Passive iFIR filters for data-driven velocity control in robotics
arXiv:2603.29882v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a passive, data-driven velocity control method for nonlinear robotic manipulators that achieves better tracking performance than optimized PID with comparable design complexity. Using only three minutes of probing data, a VRFT-based design identifies passive iFIR controllers that (i) preserve closed-loop stability via passivity constraints and (ii) outperform a VRFT-tuned PID baseline on the Franka Research 3 robot in both joint-space and Cartesian-space velocity control, achieving up to a 74.5% reduction in tracking error for the Cartesian velocity tracking experiment with the most demanding reference model. When the robot end-effector dynamics change, the controller can be re-learned from new data, regaining nominal performance.

How AIRA2 breaks AI research bottlenecks
While we've seen remarkable progress in AI for coding and mathematics, creating agents that can navigate the messy, open-ended nature of real research (where things break for no obvious reason) has proven far more challenging.

The new Storm Radar app is a treasure trove of data for weather nerds
The horrible winter of 2026 is behind us in New England; now we’ve moved on to the season where there’s a threat of rain basically every day. Given that, the updated Storm Radar app from The Weather Company (owners of the Weather Channel app) caught my eye. There are tons of good weather apps out there, and I’m the kind of nerd that likes to try them all, and Storm Radar feels pretty unique to me. The main interface is, as you’d expect, your local radar. Tapping on any point of the map calls up a detailed forecast for that exact point, with data coming via The Weather Company’s “gridded forecast on demand” (FOD) system. The default view is precipitation, but there are multiple other layers you can add including temperature, cloud cover, nearby lighting strikes, wind and so forth. There are
