Hi everyone, Has anyone here reviewed or submitted a paper through the ICRA/IROS transfer review process? I submitted through the transfer option for IROS and was rejected, so I’m trying to better understand how the process works. What can reviewers see: the previous reviews, only the author response/revision summary, or something else? For those with experience, did the transfer process feel helpful, or could it bias reviewers since they know the paper was previously rejected? Any insights from the reviewer or author side would be appreciated. submitted by /u/nikolaskagia [link] [Kommentare]

I hope this is the right place for this post. This idea doesn’t seem far-fetched or futuristic to me - I believe it’s technically achievable today. Mods, please let me know if this belongs elsewhere I want to suggest a home robot for daily life missions. The purpose of this robot is to help people with everyday tasks at home - cooking, cleaning, and everything in between - at an affordable price. Principle Architecture: The robot is wheeled (not humanoid) and controlled by an LLM. Instead of human-like arms, it uses swappable tools. Each tool is designed for a specific task. The LLM controls the robot through 3 protocols only: API commands - the LLM tells the robot what to do Shared map - the robot maps the house in 2-3 hours on first setup. Both the robot and the LLM share the exact same map Visual images - the robot sends photos to the LLM, the LLM sees what is happening and makes decisions The Tools: Each tool contains its own API and README file. When the robot connects a tool, the LLM reads the README and immediately knows how to use it - like installing an app. Examples: egg breaker, dish washer, floor cleaner. Each tool costs ~$50. A whole ecosystem of tools can be built around this robot. The base unit has iRobot-style floor cleaning built in. Example: Making an Omelette The user says to the robot: ‘Please make me an omelette.’ The LLM understands the request and breaks it down into steps: The LLM checks the map and locates the kitchen The robot navigates to the kitchen The LLM sends a command: connect the egg-breaking tool The robot takes a photo of the refrigerator area - the LLM sees the photo and says: ‘open the fridge, the eggs are on shelf 2’ The robot takes the eggs The egg-breaking tool breaks the eggs into the pan The robot connects the cooking tool The LLM monitors the cooking via photos in real time The omelette is ready All of this happens automatically, with no human involvement. Target price: ~$2,000 for the robot, ~$50 per tool. This idea is free for anyone who wants to build it. Good luck! submitted by /u/Narrow-Necessary-947 [link] [Kommentare]

Title: Resume Review for Automate 2026 / Robotics Software Engineer (Master's Student) Hi everyone, I'm attending Automate 2026 in Chicago and would appreciate feedback on my resume. I'm a Master of Science in Computer Science at Bridgewater State University (graduating December 2025). I have 4+ years of software engineering experience and hands-on robotics experience with ROS2, TurtleBot4, SLAM, Nav2, OpenCV, computer vision, and autonomous navigation projects. I'm targeting these roles: Robotics Software Engineer Robotics Engineer Autonomous Systems Engineer Computer Vision Engineer Software Engineer (Robotics) I'd appreciate feedback on: Is my resume strong enough for robotics and automation companies? Are there any red flags? Should I emphasize my robotics projects more than my software engineering experience? Is the resume optimized for career fairs and recruiter screening? What skills or keywords are missing? Thanks in advance for any advice. submitted by /u/RaufBairamov [link] [Kommentare]

I finnaly after a month or 2 made a Raspberry pi object 1 degrees of freedom tracking robot it took me a while but it was worth it. I was using lccv for raspberry camera module(i also have made code for usb camera).if anyone wants to try out i have the link to the repo in the video description.i do advise ti read the eng_list.txt file first. submitted by /u/Guilty_Question_6914 [link] [Kommentare]

Curation of materials for robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Learn as your practice materials. Today we have some extensive knowledge available for building robotics. And there is a roadmap that everyone interested can easily build using the available resources. submitted by /u/dineshmadhava [link] [Kommentare]

Andrew Barry of Generalist compares earlier robot behaviors, including Spot opening doors, with the newer learned-model approach being used for dexterous manipulation. The older approach relied on hard-coded controllers for different parts of a task. The newer approach is aimed at giving the model a wider range of usable behavior when it sees something outside the exact training case. Barry describes this as “improvisational intelligence,” where the robot encounters a new variation and still takes a reasonable action instead of immediately failing. He also connects this to how humans complete manipulation tasks. A person does not need to make every pick or motion perfectly on the first try. They can miss, adjust, regrasp, and continue the task. submitted by /u/Responsible-Grass452 [link] [Kommentare]

Hey reddit, So we built a gaming accessibility app SensePilot that enable people with disabilities to control a computer and play video games. I just finished developing the human-robot interface prototype so thought I'll share the demo here too as its related to robotics. Hope to eventually apply this to assistive living robots, because their controls are usually very limited and their users are unable to use hands for controlling the robot very well. submitted by /u/SensePilot [link] [Kommentare]
