Built my first robot still have a lot to learn. Open to any advice on how to improve look of wires. When I built this, I lost two of the baby screws for the knee of the robot so it topples over in the middle of its dance. But it was fun to build and I learned a lot. Also, open to any ideas on other kits or sites where I can create more stuff myself following tutorials and things like that submitted by /u/Specific_Dingo8631 [link] [Kommentare]

Hi everyone, I’m Marvel, a computational neuroscientist at Cambridge and founder of Synexis. We’re building infrastructure that sits between AI policies (VLA/foundation models, teleoperation, planners) and robot controllers. Rather than replacing existing stacks, Synexis validates, constrains, and translates commands before execution to provide deterministic safety guarantees and reproducible execution across different robot platforms. I’m currently looking to speak with robotics companies, research labs, or teams working on manipulation, humanoids, or industrial robotics that are deploying AI-driven control. I’m interested in learning: What are your biggest deployment bottlenecks today? Where do command failures or unsafe actions occur most often? Would a deterministic command-assurance layer solve a meaningful problem for your team? If this sounds relevant or if you’d simply be willing to provide technical feedback I’d really appreciate a conversation. Feel free to comment below or send me a DM. Thanks!😁 submitted by /u/NoMud673 [link] [Kommentare]

...may the odds be in your favor. On a more serious note, as an Area Chair for Neurips, I can tell the incentives that they placed this year are kinda working (risk of rejecting a reviewer's paper if they are not being responsible). I've had the least number of reviewers to chase/emergency reviewers to recruit since I've started ACing for major conferences (so maybe 5ish years). Hopefully, reviewers will also be active in discussions... submitted by /u/GuestCheap9405 [link] [Kommentare]

Does anyone know the EXACT timing of when NeurIPS reviews are gonna be released? I'm just refreshing openreview all the time and it's stressing me out so much. Thank you for your help. submitted by /u/Anshuman3480 [link] [Kommentare]

I've been building a home robotic assistant with a goal of keeping it quiet, smooth, and simple to use. I plan to make both the hardware and software open source. I'm currently experimenting with voice control, remote operation, health monitoring integration, and optional camera tracking. It's still a work in progress, and I'd love to hear what features or improvements you'd find most useful. submitted by /u/Training_Income353 [link] [Kommentare]

I need to transfer a lot of force through this keyway into a 3d print, and am confused on the intended way to attach to this shaft. submitted by /u/IntroductionNo1700 [link] [Kommentare]

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Continuum Robotics Laboratory introduced CRAFT, a 3D-printed modular design library for tendon-driven continuum robots that allows a single robot to physically reconfigure its shape, stiffness, and degrees of freedom within minutes by snapping together six interchangeable modules. The same base robot was reconfigured into a long teleoperated probe for aircraft-wing inspection achieving 41% reduction in sag, a pipe-crawling robot capable of navigating 90-degree bends and 30-degree inclines, and a soft robotic hand that successfully cracked eggs with 85% accuracy. CRAFT eliminates the need to build entirely new robots for different tasks, replacing bespoke redesign with rapid modular composition.

Started testing a private qwen 35B moe capacity LLM runtime on s26 ultra, early testing shows that active model footprint can fit within the device’s memory limits.( not sharing the methods or architecture used) and results suggest roughly 90 input processing t/s achievable after optimisation and output generation is around 8 tokens/s on this mobile. Point is i learned ai ml based on my interest and no formal PhD , I have compute and resources to test. Anyone willing to join or collab to test on this I tried publishing papers on arxiv and 4 papers are still on hold as im first author and from no institution... submitted by /u/Severe_Post_2751 [link] [Kommentare]

Hi! I don't know if this has been posted about before or not, but for the past week, I've been trying to control my SPIKE Prime with custom commands via BLE. However, as far as the forums stated (from what I have read), it wasn't possible without Pybricks. However, while tinkering with the robot, I found that BLE control is just an "environment variable" that could be switched. Thus, we don't need a firmware to control BLE, we just need a *one-time setup" using a USB UART communication. If you want to use this for your own projects, please check out the code, and if you like it, please drop a star on the repo! https://github.com/Somespi/prime-connect submitted by /u/Formal-Arachnid-4247 [link] [Kommentare]

Inventory robots are moving beyond isolated pilots and becoming part of larger systems that combine computer vision, electronic shelf labels, AI, cleaning robots, and real-time analytics. Tesco, Kroger, Harmons, BJ’s, Stop & Shop, Wakefern, Schnucks, and others are using autonomous shelf-scanning systems to track out-of-stocks, misplaced products, pricing errors, promotional compliance, and shelf conditions. Harmons says autonomous shelf scanning reduced out-of-stock conditions by more than 50% and pricing errors by 75%. submitted by /u/Responsible-Grass452 [link] [Kommentare]

Building a sports prediction model ,I found consistent edge when backtesting against closing lines. At inference time tho, I predict 12-24 hours before the event where closing lines don't exist yet. I use the current line instead. My strongest feature is line movement (opening to closing implied probability). At prediction time this feature is incomplete as the market hasn't fully moved yet. This creates a paradox: Closing lines are considered nearly impossible to beat because they contain all available information : sharp money, injury news, everything. Yet the backtest shows consistent edge against them. If closing lines are truly efficient, beating them implies genuine model signal. But at inference time we're betting against earlier, less efficient lines with an incomplete version of our strongest feature. The question: does edge against closing lines transfer to earlier bets where lines are less efficient ? Or does the incomplete line movement signal hurt prediction enough that the edge disappears before close? My intuition is the edge is smaller earlier because the market is less efficient but the model signal is also weaker. These two effects might cancel out or one might dominate. Curious if anyone has studied this tradeoff in sports or financial prediction. submitted by /u/MrProbability101 [link] [Kommentare]

I built this Snake demo to show how easy it can be to go from data preparation to training and evaluation with FeynRL. The model is overkill for Snake, but that’s not the point. This example walks through the full VLM training pipeline in a simple, visual, and fun setting, showing how FeynRL makes it easier to understand how large models like LLMs and VLMs are built, trained, and optimized end to end. https://i.redd.it/9j0t2bukg8dh1.gif GitHub: https://github.com/FeynRL-project/FeynRL Check out the examples section to build something similar yourself, and feel free to share feedback or contribute. submitted by /u/murdock_aubry [link] [Kommentare]

Can LLM agents coordinate in long-horizon, open-ended worlds? We evaluate 13 modern LLMs in a new benchmark where agents must work together to explore, communicate, trade resources, craft tools, build structures, and fight mobs. TL;DR: Most agents struggle, averaging only ~6% normalised return. Yet on the hardest setting, zero-shot Gemini 3.1 Pro performs comparably to the best MARL agent trained for 1 billion environment steps. More broadly, we find coordination is a distinct bottleneck beyond long-horizon task competence, with communication having the largest effect in our harness ablations.
