During NY Techweek, Arc League, presented by Katena, demonstrated the teleoperated suit with robot boxing and dancing. I know there has been a lot of humanoid hype, but as a roboticist watching it up close, I'm still quite amazed how far we have come. submitted by /u/OkThought8642 [link] [Kommentare]

I work as a surgical positioning specialist in an OR. Every day, my job is to make sure patients are positioned correctly during surgery. Wrong positioning = nerve damage, pressure necrosis, joint stress. Even then – the human body can compensate. It regenerates blood flow, heals tissue, adapts. A household robot can’t do any of that. Think about it like a motorcycle or a car: • Store your bike wrong over winter → flat tires, dry seals, dead battery • Wrong tire pressure for months → uneven wear, handling issues • A robot stored or „parked” incorrectly → joint stress, cable fatigue, sensor drift, premature wear Household robots like NEO, Tesla Optimus or LG CLOiD are coming to our homes within the next 2–3 years. They’ll cost $10,000–$20,000+. Nobody is talking about how to store, position and maintain them correctly at home. That’s the gap I’m here to fill – applying 2+ years of OR knowledge to household robotics. Question for the community: Would you trust a $20,000 robot to just „stand in the corner” without thinking about positioning and wear? submitted by /u/Commercial_Towel_352 [link] [Kommentare]

First-time poster here. I wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on that may be useful for robotics / research workflows. I built a headless toolkit for VIVE Trackers, which supports VIVE Tracker 3.0, Vive wands and VIVE Ultimate Trackers (SLAM). It streams live pose data over WebSocket, so tracker position / rotation can be used by other applications without needing a HMD. Tool kit also includes an MCP server, so the tracker data can be fed directly into agentic workflows / AI tools. GitHub: https://github.com/nandunabey/VT-Headless-SDK Disclaimer: I do work for VIVE, but this is not an official HTC / VIVE project. This is just a personal side project I built mainly to support a few research groups and to explore what’s possible. I come from more of a Product background than a developer background, so feedback, suggestions would be very welcome. submitted by /u/nadsblabla [link] [Kommentare]

Multiplayer DIY robot where you learn mechanics and engineering...600+ parts and 6 hour build time. It has custom electronics, bb gun mechanism and piezo equipped plates for hit detection. You controll it via mobile app and can have up to 8 tanks in multiplayer game submitted by /u/Iron_Fleet_Support [link] [Kommentare]
