Why Open-source With Isaac sim, GR00T, SmolVLA, 660$ XLeRobot can organize stuff into drawer and zipping up bag in 2 days Made by MakerMods Isaac Sin QI LIU Ryan Chan on Seeed Studio Hugging Face NVIDIA Robotics Home Robot Hackathon in Shenzhen (Bay Area next)

I'm also working on the dynamic neck. This is the only way. 3 arms but one is a 'neck'.

Robotics hasn't reached their 'ChatGPT' moment, their VLA models are still basiclly Seq2Seq from 10 years ago. We need timeseries encoders in the input space so that we can 'RAG actions' and error correct. Whose building this ATM?

I'm used to JIT learning, but nowadays it's JIT innovation. This morning I started looking for this exact dataset! You can basically start a project with a bunch of risky technical challenges and assume that in a month someone on Twitter will have a good solution.

Using Deep Research to Deep Research Deep Research APIs. I like this part of 2025

Some satisfying 5am test prints! Modeled from scratch in FreeCAD

To the robot twitter, This is one of the most important (and pretty funny) commentaries on what we shouldn't build and why. youtu.be/xbOaJ2ZIOOk?si…

WE ARE COOKING!! I can't stress enough how incredible open source software is we are LITERALLY going to have an agricultural digital twin that big ag pays millions for a HOBBY FARM for FREE thanks to OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE! <3 Meshroom <3 AliceVision

As a robotics researcher, I’ve always had the urge to learn the full stack: Control, SLAM, ML Infra, Web, Mobile, Cloud, CNC, PCB, Firmware, DataOps, Supply Chain ... But usually, I'm surrounded by people with similar skill set as me. Here, I sit across the desk from deep

Roboticists should talk to Finance Quants more. Timeseries modeling with latency and control is our thing...

A missing part of the opensource robot deployments. PID settings for servos. Who at LeRobot is optimizing PID settings for the motors? Is everyone just running with the defaults? ``` position_d_gain: 0 position_i_gain: 0 position_p_gain: 400 ``` How are you

My biennial update to the "Hello World"s of ML & AI: 2013: RandomForestClassifier on Iris 2015: XGBoost on Titanic 2017: MLPs on MNIST 2019: AlexNet on CIFAR-10 2021: DistilBERT on IMDb movie reviews 2023: Llama 2 with LoRA on Alpaca 50k 2025: Qwen3 with RLVR on MATH-500

Great start to MCP night Michael Grinich ! I wish I caught a picture of that RadioShack throwback intro video! Keep insights for me * The new chrome debug MCP is powerful and many browser agents don't know it yet * 🪿! * MCP auth foundations are finally laid.

This is the most interesting part of this analysis.
