ex-Huggingface pre-training team just announce a new library create for robotics data refinment! It supports ingestion of all robotics formats (Parquet, HDF5, MCAP, Zarr, RLDS, and LeRobot), as well as the common processing flows like visual hand-tracking, subtask annotations and reward model running submitted by /u/Other_Housing8453 [link] [Kommentare]

Just a machine that made you stop and think: "wow...somebody put a ridiculous amount of engineering into this". Could be anything.sometimes the most impressive machines are the ones that make incredibly difficult things look effortless. submitted by /u/hannimalki [link] [Kommentare]

I would love feedback on the data quality and the 3D renderings specifically, because the renderings were the hardest part about getting this to work. Basically, Chaveta is a agentic dataset curation tool that allows you to submit a prompt and instantly receive a dataset for: - World models - Robotics (JSON Trajectories) - LLM Fine Tuning - Geological - Synthetic Tool Calling / LLM flows - Time series For the robotics path, you can also download to MCAP or simple JSON and we have a render tab that allows you to edit joints visually + we provide copy/paste scripts for importing the dataset into things like Transformers. Let me know what you think. submitted by /u/ComradePampers [link] [Kommentare]

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]
