Thinking about switching from Software Engineering to Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics & Robotics) is it worth the 6 years?(reddit.com)
Hey everyone, looking for some genuine opinions here. I’m currently a second-year Software Engineering student in Australia and I’ve been seriously considering switching to Mechanical Engineering with a Mechatronics & Robotics major, followed by a Master of Professional Engineering (Mechatronic). That’s a 4 year undergrad plus 2 year masters A few things I’d love honest input on: Is a Mechanical Engineering degree still worth pursuing in 2026 with AI moving so fast, or will a lot of that work get automated too? For those already working in robotics or mechatronics does your degree actually reflect what you do day to day? Was the Masters worth it or could you have gotten into the industry with just the undergrad? Any regrets about the path you took? Appreciate any input from people actually in the industry or going through something similar. submitted by /u/sussypanduh [link] [Kommentare]
They are looting your life savings(joinmastodon.org)
And just like that—surprise!—one AI company bails out another AI company's grift. Google agreeing to rent compute from xAI (cough, "SpaceX") magically makes them eligible for inclusion in the S&P500. Americans, they are looting your life savings, the ones you earned through labour that they are gleefully replacing. Your descendants will never have the chance you had. https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/05/google-will-pay-spacex-920m-per-month-for-compute/
What has been the hardest part of collecting training data for robotics projects?(reddit.com)
I'm researching how teams build datasets for robot learning and I'm curious what the biggest challenges are in practice. From what I've seen so far, collecting robotics data seems very different from standard computer vision datasets because you have to deal with sensor synchronization, demonstrations, real-world edge cases, and often much smaller datasets. One thing I'm still trying to understand is where most teams spend the majority of their time. For people working on robot learning, manipulation, navigation, or autonomous systems: Is data collection the main bottleneck? Is annotation and labeling the difficult part? Do you rely more on simulation or real-world data? What would you improve if you could rebuild your data pipeline from scratch? I'd love to hear some real-world experiences. submitted by /u/Vane1st [link] [Kommentare]
Omni-dorectional pure pursuit with feed forward upgrade(reddit.com)
In my previous post was a little showcase of my implementation of the pure pursuit path tracking algorithm for omni-directional robots. One of the missing features is the safe curve approaching. The robot doesn't know the upcoming curve and it won't slow down (enough, at least in the previous implementation). Now I added the feed-forward lookahead that will calculate the slowdown cost based on the total sum of the angle differences of every three pose points in a small set of lookahead points. And the slowdown cost then plugged into the e^-x function and used it to scale the maximum velocity. Now it seems that the robot approaches the curve more smoothly. Additional stuff still needs to be added such as the acceleration limit and the better last pose point brake.

SLAM Camera Module(reddit.com)
Posting an update here with simplified PCB and robustness. Mighty Camera runs VIO on-device in a tiny package. But for it to be useful, you need things like mapping (and later occupancy, loop closure etc). Here is a demo of lightweight mapping which uses VIO pose from Mighty and generates a semi-dense map on host-side in realtime. It’s early but this will be part of the SDK along with other goodies. submitted by /u/twokiloballs [link] [Kommentare]
