How can robotics make underground coal-mine inspections safer and more efficient? Built on RDK X5, this air-ground collaborative inspection system combines environmental perception, 3D mapping, autonomous localization, and coordinated inspection to take on dangerous, repetitive tasks. By making underground conditions more visible and traceable, it shows how edge AI and robotics can address real-world challenges in demanding environments. 📽️Watch the system in action: youtu.be/-Drz9d3ra4A #Robotics #EdgeAI #AutonomousRobots #RobotInspection

🎃 Who gave the pumpkins a brain?!🧠 This Halloween, our pumpkins aren’t sitting quietly on the porch. They’re moving, sensing, and doing some rather suspicious robot things. Our community has been busy hacking pumpkins with RDK, and we have a feeling these creations are going to be a little more exciting than your average Halloween decoration.🤪 Join us for the Pumpkin Robot Show & Tell to see what our makers have cooked up! 📅 October 29 | 9:00 PM (GMT+8) ✏️ Register: luma.com/mt13rdgj #DRobotics #PumpkinRobot #Robotics #Halloween

Autonomous patrol. Real-time person detection. On-device visual feature matching. Brian brought all three together in his VLM Patrol Robot, built on RDK X5 for RDK Challenge Summer. Combining SLAM, @ultralytics YOLO11n, and InternVL2.5-1B on embedded hardware wasn't easy — but that's where the real engineering begins. ☕️ Grab a coffee, read Brian’s full story: en.d-robotics.cc/blog/the-ro… 🤔Have an idea you want to turn into a robot in the RDK Challenge Winter? Start with the hardware. If you're based in Southeast Asia, you can purchase an RDK X5 from our local distributor here: cytron.io/p-rdk-x5-8g #Robotics #RDKChallenge #Robotdev #DRobotics

📽️We’re going live today. Join us for D-Robotics Frontier #01: Uranus and explore how interactive world models can support long-horizon generation, multi-view simulation, and robot policy evaluation. If you're interested in #worldmodels, #robotlearning, or #embodiedAI, don't miss this session. 📅 October 15 | 8:00 PM GMT+8 Save your spot: us06web.zoom.us/j/8533418279…

🥗Instead of opening a calorie-tracking app at every meal, Shebin @coderscafetech built a dedicated AI calorie tracker with RDK X5. Using computer vision and on-device AI, it recognizes food and displays calorie counts and nutrition info — all processed locally. 🤔🤖 Curious what you could build with RDK X5? RDK Challenge Winter is open for registration. Bring your idea and give it a try. 🎥 youtu.be/Uv26d9vjNCk 📦 🇮🇳 Based in India? Get your RDK X5 through our local distributor: robu.in/brand/d-robotics/

💡Every robotics project starts with an idea. RDK Challenge Winter is a chance to take yours further. 📖We've put together the essential details to help you get started, including the participation rules and rewards. Whether this is your first RDK project or you're already experienced with robotics development, take a look at the guidelines, explore what's on offer, and start planning your build. Don't have an RDK X5 yet? You can get one through our official purchase page. en.d-robotics.cc/distributor We look forward to seeing what you build this Winter. #RDKChallenge #Robotics #DRobotics

The longer a robot acts, the more there is to predict. From one moment to the next, can a model keep generating what happens across multiple camera views — over an extended sequence of actions? That’s what Long-Horizon Generation in Uranus is designed to do. It enables multi-view video generation over long horizons, supporting robots as they plan and execute complex tasks in a learned world. #LongHorizonGeneration #Robotics #PhysicalAI

What happens when a robot takes an action? How will the objects move, and how will the environment respond? Instead of testing every idea on physical hardware, you can explore what happens next in a learned world — predicting how actions translate into motion, object interactions, and changes across multiple camera views. That’s action-controllable generation in Uranus, D-Robotics’ data-driven robot simulation platform. It lets you try out candidate policies in a learned world before they ever touch real hardware. 🧐Curious how it works under the hood? 🤗Join us for D-Robotics Frontier tech talk on October 15 to dive deeper into Uranus. ✏️Register here: luma.com/tmtu4uge #worldmodel #PhysicalAI #robotics #EmbodiedAI
