I recently made a major update to my Control and Robotics learning repository and decided to keep the course materials freely accessible. The repository now includes structured course folders with standalone HTML lecture pages, mathematical explanations, diagrams, and companion code examples for many lessons. The topics cover areas such as: Linear control Modern control System dynamics Robot kinematics and dynamics Robot control Advanced robotics Autonomous mobile robots For some lessons, the code examples are provided in different languages/environments such as Python, C++, Java, MATLAB, and Wolfram/Mathematica, so the material can be studied from both the theory and implementation side. Repo: https://github.com/mohammadijoo/Control_Robotics_Lab I’m sharing it here in case it is useful for students, instructors, or self-learners working through control systems and robotics topics. I would also appreciate feedback, especially if you notice mistakes in equations, explanations, code examples, structure, or missing topics that would make the material more useful. submitted by /u/abolfazl1363 [link] [Kommentare]

Humanoid robots and physical AI were major themes at Automate 2026. The show featured more than 50 humanoid and quadruped systems, a significant increase from last year. Much of the discussion centered on commercialization, safety, deployment, dexterity, data collection, and training rather than future predictions. Several companies also showcased hybrid mobile manipulation platforms that combine AMR mobility with dual-arm operation, including new systems from Locus, Cobot, and Kinisi. On the physical AI side, Apptronik introduced Apollo 2 and its new Robot Park training facility, Generalist demonstrated its GEN-1 dexterity model, and FieldAI announced more than $100 million in revenue and customer contracts. submitted by /u/Responsible-Grass452 [link] [Kommentare]

I unfortunately cannot get my hands on a rgbd/ stereo camera. So, I have to find a way with monocular camera. Is there any way? Currently, I have a fully functional ros2 nav2 robot with 2d lidar. How about using depth_anything or such? Can anyone provide me insights? submitted by /u/Candid-Scheme1835 [link] [Kommentare]

Looks promising. It'll be interesting to see how well it performs once it's operating at full scale. Now it is still a concept... submitted by /u/BuySellRam [link] [Kommentare]

Hello, I completed the Odin Project about a year ago, and now I'm looking to get into lower level programming for robotics and mechanical control systems. I'm a college student starting into a mechatronics degree, but after looking over the curriculum, I'm not sure how in-depth my uni goes into the programming side of things. They only have one coding course and 2 PLC courses. I've been watching the PBS Crash Course computer science series for a basic understanding of how computers work at the hardware level, and I'm also reading a couple of electronics books, but I'm having a hard time finding any good resources for learning C++. Does anyone know of any good resources? Is it too ambitious of an undertaking to learn this on my own? Thank you for your responses and insight. submitted by /u/Strange_Bonus9044 [link] [Kommentare]

Researchers created a breakthrough technology that allows robots to feel and recreate touch just like humans. Using muscle-like air chambers, machines can now instantly mimic sensations ranging from soft tissues to rock-hard surfaces with 89% accuracy, revolutionizing robotic surgery and teleoperation.

Sergey Levine talks about an experiment where 33 labs shared robot data. The result was a generalist robot model that beat specialized systems. He argues that robotics has usually been built around narrow systems for narrow task and that this experiment showed a different path: more shared data, more task variety, and models that work across more than one setup. submitted by /u/Responsible-Grass452 [link] [Kommentare]

In case you missed my AgenticROS talk at Automate 2026, here it is! I connected OpenClaw and Claude AI Agents to ROS and told the AI that it now has eyes (RealSense D457 GMSL stereo camera) and wheels to control its own body to accomplish tasks. It worked!!! submitted by /u/Chemical-Hunter-5479 [link] [Kommentare]

I'm making a robotic mini rice transplanter, which will weigh around 4kg. Since Philippine rice fields are muddy, I'm planning to make a design with two 15cm diameter wheels that are designed with angled paddles on them, with a sled at the back. Using two 32gp 31zy 12v 80rpm motors. The back will be a sled. The two wheels will be steered with one high torque servo. The only thing I'm skeptical about is if it will work with that kind of setup. submitted by /u/spectralisunknown [link] [Kommentare]

Hello Folks!! Hope you are doing well. I have started robot learning research since 6 months but still figuring out that I am not in the low level research yet, like for the NeurIPS/ ICLR level paper. Would you please enlighten me how can I proceed so that I can make strong, groundbreaking research on Modern Robot Learning ( manipulation tasks/ 3d scene understanding, World Models etc). I am looking forward the suggestions from experienced people. submitted by /u/selim_sarowar [link] [Kommentare]
