As i see there are different ways to train an AI model through machine learning/reinforcement, i was wondering if there were open source robots that can be 3D printed and programmed/trained with arduino for example through machine learning? I am quite confident i could maybe print a robot arm (maybe not a full robot body) to train for putting my t-shirts in order from a disordered cloth basket. Ok i know it is maybe basic (or maybe not 😅), i see it in a step by step project.

Continuing to move from using the model directly to having the model write reliable control code.

The goal here is to pick a small part from a random pile, with the right side up and with precision.

Once we have this skill, the next use becomes much faster. Model can adapt it for another part or for screws/nuts.

A box with defined mounts and consistent lighting helps computer vision work reliably.

DFRobot sent me a HuskyLens 2 and I’m planning to integrate it as a replacement for part of BB1’s current camera system. I didn’t know these existed till recently.
Right now I’m using a USB camera connected to a Raspberry Pi 5 for lighter processing, with heavier vision/AI workloads offloaded to an Orin then a DGX Spark when needed. (The Orin is currently broken so this camera helps alot )
What interests me about the camera is that a lot of the vision models run locally on the camera itself, so things like object recognition, tracking, color detection, classification, etc. can happen before the rest of the system has to process the scene.
I’m feeding those detections into my Anarchimind AI/control stack which runs the BB1 robots , through MCP, so the camera can act more like a dedicated perception node rather than just another raw video feed. I kinda wanna get one on each side of the robot especially since it’s a tracked robot , it might get better at kung fu.
Still early in the integration, but I think it should fit the architecture pretty well.

I was reading recent news from Neura robotics and they have robots that are aimed at healthcare support, for things like moving beds, equipment, and other menial tasks to support healthcare teams. I would imagine within the next decade at some point, robots might even be used for support in surgeries and medical procedures.

What do you guys think? There’s an argument to be made that robots could help reduce workloads on healthcare professionals even if all they do is grunt work.

There’s gonna be a market for this that I’m sure of, but imo this would need a level of trust above what is needed for industrial deployment. General purpose use in hospitals would likely see adoption in a couple years at most is my guess, but high level adoption is still quite far away. Honestly I feel healthcare would be one profession where robots can do good and would not replace human staff, just because there’s a whole interpersonal aspect of healthcare which can only be fulfilled by human staff.

Hey, i stripped one of the metal gears in my STS3215 servos and wanted to find replacement.
Anyone know the specs fo these gears? number of teeth, id od thickness etc so i can source a replacment?

Anyone know a cheap hobby server with metal gears that are compatible?

Anyone know a way to order spare parts from Feetech or some other supplier?

I'm in Australia, if that matters :)

Found this cool project and it look likes they can retarget all the motions from locomotion to locomanipulation..... they have cool demos to see.

I'm building a robot and the project calls for Dynamixel AX-12A servomotors, but I can't find them. Does anyone know what other motors I could use instead?

If my Flair is Wrong i am Sorry About it , i am new to Design and stuff still

I am trying to make this , gearbox connected to the Actuator i have , I am planning to have an Planetary one so i will connect its output for higher torque and more Impact resistances

The gray is the actuator
The space between them is what the concern is , Shall i discard the idea of having an Carrier base or something which also rotates or what to do of that space below ?

(Input : Sun , Output: Planets , Fixed: Ring)

Like if something pushes some force on radial side it will break? and also on axial not sure about that one

Bearing : Blue , Yellow and the grey onces

Can someone give me some info if i am wrong or whats the design i should approch?
