Where should I learn? What programming language should I learn for robotics and where should I learn it from? Are there any free resources available??? submitted by /u/Jumpy_Muffin6244 [link] [Kommentare]

Hey all, I'm a robotics engineer by training turned ML/AI engineer because of passion right after school. I want to start combining these skills together and I think a competition is the best way of doing it. Here's an example of a challenge I'm talking about to set expectations : https://www.intrinsic.ai/events/ai-for-industry-challenge Anyone up for this? L.E.1. I'm based in Europe. I think online only competitions would be easiest to start with to get momentum going, then if the results are worth it, we can consider meeting in person if it makes sense. L.E.2. I don't have the next challenge in mind yet, I'm open to suggestions. submitted by /u/Due_Pickle1627 [link] [Kommentare]

I'm researching how teams build datasets for robot learning and I'm curious what the biggest challenges are in practice. From what I've seen so far, collecting robotics data seems very different from standard computer vision datasets because you have to deal with sensor synchronization, demonstrations, real-world edge cases, and often much smaller datasets. One thing I'm still trying to understand is where most teams spend the majority of their time. For people working on robot learning, manipulation, navigation, or autonomous systems: Is data collection the main bottleneck? Is annotation and labeling the difficult part? Do you rely more on simulation or real-world data? What would you improve if you could rebuild your data pipeline from scratch? I'd love to hear some real-world experiences. submitted by /u/Vane1st [link] [Kommentare]

Leaning towards uncanny valley obviously versus trying to make it sound too real but I like getting roasted by a robot. Current progress . Hopefully doesn’t get flagged for having fire in the background or something. Cheers yall! submitted by /u/TheRealFanger [link] [Kommentare]

In my previous post was a little showcase of my implementation of the pure pursuit path tracking algorithm for omni-directional robots. One of the missing features is the safe curve approaching. The robot doesn't know the upcoming curve and it won't slow down (enough, at least in the previous implementation). Now I added the feed-forward lookahead that will calculate the slowdown cost based on the total sum of the angle differences of every three pose points in a small set of lookahead points. And the slowdown cost then plugged into the e^-x function and used it to scale the maximum velocity. Now it seems that the robot approaches the curve more smoothly. Additional stuff still needs to be added such as the acceleration limit and the better last pose point brake.

Just came across this turn key modular consumer robotic arm that offers hardware and software integration all in one package. Question: Does anything like this exists for industrial application under $5k, each module made out of stainless steel or aluminum and comes with easy to use software integration (machine vision etc)? submitted by /u/innomind [link] [Kommentare]
