I am building a perception pipeline from RGB-D for pick-and-place with a depth camera. The goal is to detect an object on a table, estimate its 3D position, and obtain a stable orientation that the robot can use to grasp it. In this post, I describe some things I learned during the first part of the implementation, after training the segmentation model: https://medium.com/@danieldoradotalaveron/getting-stable-yaw-for-robotics-pca-tabletop-and-the-beginning-of-my-tracking-pipeline-8b9dd3921d3a submitted by /u/nettrotten [link] [Kommentare]

I'm so poor I can't even use this, LOL. https://preview.redd.it/gj7w9c3w8o9h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2fee085f213f30cef671376292906dea1ca34f6 submitted by /u/RevolutionaryHyena29 [link] [Kommentare]

Anyway i have DCA today all of them lol submitted by /u/valthurn [link] [Kommentare]

AAIF just launced this month and it's tied to something something AI and politics. Anyone got any real info on it? I see Coinbase offers it already (which seems interesting.) https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/american-ai-fund submitted by /u/onemananswerfactory [link] [Kommentare]

As per Aditya Kamath (author): In this article, I discuss integrating a Luxonis OAK-D S2 stereo depth camera into my LeKiwi robot’s ROS 2 stack. I cover the steps I took to configure the depthai-ros driver to optimize bandwidth, simplify the URDF and launch files, and add pointcloud compression with Cloudini. I also discuss how I visualized RGB images, depth maps, and (compressed and uncompressed) pointclouds in Foxglove’s 3D panel, and the challenges I faced along the way. submitted by /u/arewegoing [link] [Kommentare]

Welcome to the latest RobotShift update, 5 stories with the take from demoware to reality. 00:00 - Intro 00:20 - The Architecture Shift — Duke’s Argus Why copying human form can be an efficiency trap. Duke University’s Argus is a 20-legged, 20-eyed sphere with no front or back, designed to move and see in any direction. Its 0.91 dynamic-isotropy score puts it far above conventional humanoid and legged designs for terrain such as sand, forests and obstacle-filled environments. 01:30 - Humanoid’s Outsourcing Strategy London-based Humanoid is taking a different route to scale: using established German industrial partners including Schaeffler and Bosch rather than building every part of its production ecosystem itself. The ambition is huge — but scaling hardware is very different from proving deployment. 02:37 - The Simulation Trap — Genesis AI GENE-26.5 demonstrates impressive manipulation tasks including egg cracking and lab pipetting. But impressive controlled demos still leave a difficult question: how much of that performance survives outside carefully managed environments, without extra algorithmic support? 03:44 - The Warehouse Bottleneck — Locus Robotics and Nexera Locus Robotics has acquired Nexera Robotics and its NeuraGrasp adaptive membrane-gripper technology. The target is clear: picking the messy, variable stock that warehouse robots still struggle with. Even tiny pick-failure rates can create thousands of expensive human exceptions at scale. 04:58 - Mass Scale Unlocked — Electric Atlas Hyundai and Boston Dynamics are building toward industrial-scale Atlas production and deployment in Georgia. The long-term ambition is a production system capable of around 30,000 robot units annually — a major test of whether humanoids can move from impressive demonstrations into repeatable factory economics. 06:04 - End Summary submitted by /u/ButterscotchTiny1114 [link] [Kommentare]

For traders in the EU, there's been a lot of chatter about MiCA and its impact on crypto exchanges. A lot of exchanges are either limiting what they offer to European users or pulling out of the region entirely. This puts a lot of capital at risk and users need to be proactive about it. For those who don't know me, I work in web3 and write content on projects and what's happening in the space. The exchange Bitpanda is running a campaign that fits this moment and helping out users who may be looking to switch exchanges. They're one of the longer-standing European platforms that's fully regulated and stayed compliant through the MiCA transition, and right now they'll pay you to move assets over. The campaign is called Bring Your Assets. Basically, you transfer your crypto into a Bitpanda account, leave it 30 days, and get 5% back paid in Bitcoin. Bitpanda is a regulated custodial exchange, so while you won't be able to do anything onchain, if you're a "buy-and-hold" type of investor and want the benefits of a CEX, this is a nice little boost. If you keep everything in self-custody and never touch an exchange, this isn't aimed at you. Where it makes sense is if you already hold balances on exchanges, or your current European venue is one of the ones cutting back, and you'd rather consolidate onto something regulated that isn't going anywhere. Effectively, you're getting paid 5% to move assets. Some details: The campaign runs from 18 June to 5 July 2026. You transfer crypto into your Bitpanda account through the app or website during that window, and it needs to stay there for 30 days. Everyone who qualifies gets 5% cashback paid in Bitcoin on the amount they bring over. The first 1,000 participants who move €1,000 or equivalent lock in €50 in BTC, which is that same 5% shown as a round number. Cashback is credited by 30 July 2026. It's open to fully verified users in selected European countries, with the full list on the campaign page (https://www.bitpanda.com/en/campaigns/bya-june-26). MiCA is going to keep separating the platforms that did the regulatory work from the ones that didn't, and EU users are going to keep consolidating toward the compliant ones. Bitpanda paying to accelerate that is a smart use of the moment. If you were already going to hold on an exchange, 5% in BTC to pick a regulated one is a reasonable deal. Note: While I did my due diligence and there's no obvious risk with Bitpanda collapsing, I obviously can't guarantee that. Please make sure you are familiar with the risks associated with custodial accounts. Bitpanda has been around for quite some time and has never had any issues.

So i've been using Bisq and got some btc in electrum wallet, and i wanted to buy some XMR. I had sent myself the exact amount of BTC Bisq displayed as needed to be sent, but electrum wallet told me i also have to pay for the mining fee which i had totally forgot about. Consulting mempool i saw a high priority fee (2 sat/vbyte) would be like 10 cents, should i just send 1 $ more in btc to my wallet and go on with the transaction? submitted by /u/MaterialDrummer7454 [link] [Kommentare]
