Find a fine balance of art and engineering
Cambridge-based engineering consultancy Robotae has collaborated with the Brussels-based French artist Antoine Espinasseau to develop a self-balancing artwork.
This project is their first venture into the art world. Known as specialists in robotics and mechatronics, Robotae applied its precision engineering to three 2-metre-tall carbon fibre frames, each balancing delicately on one edge.
A motor-driven reaction wheel responds instantly when sensors detect movement, keeping the piece upright. Printed images of classical sculptures hang over the frames, contrasting the stability of traditional stone, plaster and bronze with the active poise of modern robotics.
The result is a serene fusion of art and engineering with a surprisingly calming effect. Exhibited in Faugères, South of France in July 2025, the three pieces are available for exhibition or purchase (£30,000 each).

Support better performance at home
Used by world champions like UFC titleholder Ilia Topuria, the Neuro Duo 4 is a leading transcranial-intranasal brain photobiomodulation device. Its modular design, powered by five Vie-LEDs, delivers a laser-like irradiance on key brain networks with the safety of LEDs.
Research suggests the device may potentially help contribute to enhancing mental performance, focus and creativity, and the Neuro Duo 4 has already been adopted by leading programmes such as Brigham Young University’s football team.
These LEDs emit pulsed 810nm near-infrared light at 10 Hz (Alpha mode) and 40 Hz (Gamma mode) to stimulate the brain cells without generating heat. Each set contains the wearable device and the intranasal applicator as well as a charger, soft pouch and handy carry case for ease of travel.
