MicroManipulator is one of the top open-source projects I've featured in Weekly Robotics in the past couple of weeks. Just check the quality of this repository. Whoever made this knows what they are doing. Learn more: github.com/0x23/MicroManipul…

That is me reading about yet another Chat-GPT moment for Robotics.

Since I went bald, I seem to come home from every event with at least one new hat. The latest is courtesy of Gravis Robotics. Are these gifts, or feedback?

Will your LLM model stab a baby if you ask it to? Looking forward to seeing how people tackle this problem. Research link: robocurve.org/roboharm/

The mechs are here! A very interesting build from Unitree. Shows how good their actuators are to keep such a heavy beast upright. Would you ride in one? youtube.com/watch?v=oWOyUMJW… #robotics

Weekly Robotics 2.0 has landed, thanks to the great help from Hello Robo. Let's go! 🔥 youtu.be/Mg65uPsXTOE

Next week I'm presenting at InfoShare in Katowice. I'm looking forward to talking about the current state of #robotics! #infoshare

Getting ready for ROSCon 2025! If you’d like a sticker or two, meet me at the Foxglove booth! #roscon #ros

Working on the last issue of Weekly Robotics, this project blew my mind🤯. It's rare to find the right combination of skills to pull together something like this universal robot controller. And to make it open-source? Absolute legend youtu.be/IBtIB9mVzEI #robotics #automation

I usually do different content, but I'm really excited about the #lerobot integration I've been working with @foxglove, and I thought I would share. What did you make during #lerobotworldwidehackathon? #robotics

Together with Arnaud Taffanel, Fred Gurr, Lucas Chiesa, and Kimberly McGuire we are hosting a Robotics and Simulation devroom during FOSDEM We have a line-up of exciting presentation planned, check it out here: fosdem.org/2025/schedule/tra… #robotics #opensource #simulation

Have you already seen this ABB IRB6400 robot turned into a CNC router? Brian Brocken did a wonderful job implementing this robot and using it for building prototypes from EPS foam. video1: youtube.com/watch?v=64rQNqK_… video2: youtube.com/watch?v=vXDUZpdS… #robotics #manipulators

Here is what the first half of 2023 in robotics looks like. weeklyrobotics.com/ #robotics #newsletter

What about the robot manual?

I know this is not true on many levels, but I couldn't stop myself. #robotics #ros #memes

Weekly Robotics Throwback Wednesday: Three years ago, we were looking at an Ion Drive Drone from MIT that was a fixed-wing able to fly 60 meters. Fast forward to this year, Undefined Technologies showcases a 'multirotor' with ion propulsion. weeklyrobotics.com/weekly-ro… #robotics

On a related note, here is how @midjourney_ai imagines Shakey the robot.
