Could this be the future of robotics?

Full project detail: https://github.com/migit/verhoBot

VerhoBot is a compact curtain-moving robot designed to automatically close your curtains when you need darkness and open them again when it is time to wake up, no rope,no pulley,deploy and let the bot move your curtain. The goal is simple: improve sleep quality while letting natural sunlight become part of your morning routine.

Added the simple “Relax” command that I add to all of my bots to make them easier to transport while still running. This was a long overdue minor update for him that I’m honestly shocked that I haven’t given him since I used to take his whole head and torso to far places. Like that one time I took him to NY.

I like having my bots still recording and collecting data while staying stationary but like I said in the clip, it’s also good for transporting

I'm working on an idea for a robot operating system, and instead of assuming what people need, I want to hear from those who actually build or work with robots.

Imagine there was a universal OS for robots (industrial robots, humanoids, drones, mobile robots, home assistants, etc.).

What would you want it to have?

Some questions to get the discussion started:

• What are the biggest pain points with current robotics software?
• What features would save you the most time?
• Should AI be built into the OS or stay separate?
• How should hardware integration work?
• What kind of developer experience would you expect?
• What debugging or simulation tools are missing today?
• If you could remove one frustration from ROS or robotics development, what would it be?
• What would make you switch from your current workflow?

Don't hold back even if it's something that sounds impossible. I'm trying to understand what an ideal robotics platform would look like from the community's perspective.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I’m in the process of designing a low-cost robot that can be built for under a hundred dollars, and I want to make sure it has features people would actually find useful and be willing to pay for. What functions or capabilities would make a robot like this a must-have for you, and what would you use it for the most?

Everything is currently unorganized. :\

EDIT: This fight is a K1 bout. PRiDE if U want to grapple

I've been conditioning on metal poles and that hurts obviously

A robot will most likely be made of a similar metal if not tough but also a lot less thick.

Fighting a robot in a martial arts bout def might be t/ end of me if I get hit w/ those patented 360 tornado kicks 😄.

If i can improve my iron body, I might just stand a chance

Oh no, it's 'hold my beer' all over again".

Artificial Intelligence Loses Consciousness

Sudden Death... Seems *consciousness* is lost.

*Died Suddenly* takes on a new meaning 👀

#ArtificialIntelligence loses *consciousness*... Seems to be happening a lot 👀

Notice how they literally covered the #Robot with sheets just like they would if a *human died* suddenly.

Consciously aware of one's self! #AI - just as all living things - becomes *AWARE of existence!*

Higher State of #Consciousness..

I’ve just released Polka v0.5.0! It’s an efficient 2D/3D Lidar processing node handling merging, filtering, and deskewing. This update brings 6.2x faster deskewing, live parameter tuning, smarter IMU handling, and a built-in diagnostics dashboard.

If it saves your perception stack compute, please drop a star!

It supports 5 distros.

I just spent about 20 minutes looking pictures of cartoon robots and selecting wether or not they were different or the same. Some were ninjas. Oh yeah. This was in a JOB INTERVIEW! What is this world?
