Tolkien was not included in his train data! At the end I’m having him throw off all books 😂

First 5 DoF leg assembled (hip pitch not in image) I (clanker) made some small tweaks in design for better printing and cable management 100% designed by clanker™️

Tip for anyone in business: PLEASE somewhere in your automated mails add the general term of what you do! I sold an apartment last year but idk the name of the notary and searching for "notary + {address}" gives no results which SUCKS

Again 2026 is crazy. This morning my clanker designed 10 DoF lower side of humanoid, now have parts semi assembled with perfect fits

Ok ignore the colors but this is better already. Will update base more but most servos are now covered and I swapped the upper leg yaw so the motor is under the joint (not optimal) but this does put joint higher up leg

Ok should I build this instead? 5 DoF legs with pitch then abduction instead of other way round, this gives way more abduction range. Complete redesign done by Clanker™️

So... I'm already considernig throwing away this new design. Abduction first makes its range very limited Should I swap it so I do hip pitch first, then abduction and then add another pair of motors for hip yaw?! That would make the most versatile setup and I'm waiting for PCB anyway...

Hear me out; LLMs are almost at the point where they don't need to become smarter for 99% of people (e.g. robotic dev) Then it will be all about speed and I'm building a fully automated feedback loop app for robotics development When LLMs start doing 1000+ tok/s, tool calls will become an INSANE bottleneck in comparison So everything around the LLM needs to be FAST. No excuses

30 min on L4 training to get stable policy Currently printing parts and tweaking design + waiting on PCB. Building FAST Started this variation yesterday, let's see total time to physical walker

500 follower anniversary and new robot reveal! This is going to be awesome. Design updated so it has abduction joints and feet are swappable with wheels. Total weight will be 1.07kg and soles printed in TPU. Can't wait for my PCBs to be delivered

Morning all! What is everyone working on this week? I am probably going to add abduction joints to Vertex Mini (+ that's a hint to what's next) And start new design of my big robot so it can get a Jetson and @RealSenseai

I ORDERED MY FIRST CUSTOM PCB 2026 is so cool holy shit... agents built the robot in my own platform, then the agent also made room in the CAD model and built the PCB 100%. Robot is already trained. PCB Design is built around tscircuit so huuge thanks to @seveibar too!

Just got this image from China where they are cutting my custom carbon plates. 8 plates, 85mm wide and 295mm tall. 60$ including shipping. Can't wait for them to arrive but will take a bit

Coffee for scale Good weekend all!

Running SysId on unitree digital servos And the clamp being the same colour is coincidental lol

Anyone want to try my new robotics platform with focus on RL? Fully agentic, I provide initial credits for free in exchange for feedback. Personally using it to do 100% of the development of mini version of my bot

@magicsilicon Intel collab? 👀 gotta get this thing on 18A
