Looks like #robotics is starting to make a massive #impact on #agricultural #farming , in ways I hadn't even thought would be possible: https://youtube.com/watch?v=sV0cR_Nhac0 Really great stuff. As other people have mentioned, the killer application is a #forest with #swarms of smaller #robots growing in more #natural #environments , requiring zero to no #pesticides, etc.
This is a pretty cool #standalone #physics #engine written in pure C: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/tinyphys.. Could be interesting to use for #lightweight #robotics #simulations ...
Oh wow, #transparent 3D #printing and they result in *very* #strong #prints ! https://hackaday.com/2022/09/11/full-tra.. This could be quite big in #prints for #structures , such as #robotics .
A #friend approached me a while back about starting a #podcast on #robotics , and I really like the #idea . The only problem is I really #hate my #voice and I am terrible at #talking . I'm sure the right person exists out there to really make it happen, but I #suspect it is not me.
Interesting #opensource #motor #initiative for #robotics https://open-dynamic-robot-initiative.gi..
Super cool #humanoid #robotics #progress going on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u03fl7p..
Interesting #robotics #idea from #caltech by using a #drone and #bipedal #hybrid to #bypass having to address the current #issues posed by #humanoids https://hackaday.com/2021/10/07/leonardo..
#qr #codes are genuinely pretty cool: https://huonw.github.io/blog/2021/09/qr-.. At some point in the future I would like to play about with them properly, perhaps in the context of #humanoid #robotics where all other #factors such as #detection #accuracy can be ruled out when designing #behaviours !
I've seen a very similar #bug in #humanoid #robotics several times, I believe both being due to an insufficient #primitive being used to store #time https://www.hanselman.com/blog/the-code-.. The one that happened most recent was the use of a `long` value to store time, which would overflow and cause the #motion #planning to really get confused and the #robot would try to kill itself in a creative way before #crashing !

As I said before, it's arguably *way harder* than #autonomous #driving ... Autonomous driving tests whether #ai can fake being a #human at a single task - a humanoid #robot needs to fake being a human at many/all tasks. The problem space is simply on a different scale.I think #elonmusk has officially bitten off more than he can chew by declaring he will start working on a #humanoid #robot https://electrek.co/2021/08/19/tesla-bot.. He has *absolutely* no idea how much of a #mammoth undertaking it is - arguably its much harder than #autonomous #driving ... Some people are estimating it will take *at least* 5-10 years to get *anything* working at all - and I think that is right. And as for a #market for this robot...
I think #cyborg people are just around the corner too: https://hackaday.com/2021/08/09/permanen.. This ultimately solves the problem of #organ #donations and #china 's #ccp #organharvesting ... I also suspect that in several generations of #robotics we could have #humanoids with a type of ' #blood '. Often our designs become *more* #bio inspired, not less.
Very cool #robotics project using a #simulation to improve real-world performance of a #walking #robot https://hackaday.com/2021/07/21/zerobug-.. #zerobug is a very cool #homebuilt robot. Building robots is often easier than people think, it just takes time!
Okay, the latest #rickandmorty episode was freaking awesome. The idea of a #deconfamily was very cool. Now that's got my searching a #asimovcascade https://heavy.com/entertainment/rick-and.. I wasn't aware of this term before, but apparently it is a more generic form of #asimov 's #threelaws of #robotics
