The MockBOT
Three years in the making. This is the Mock TurtleBot. We're referring to it as a "Smart Table," a tray table that can reliably move from one place to another. If you're interested in building a personal robot, BUY THIS BOOK!

I'm loving the replies to this one. "ROS is terrible". "Net negative". "Software reuse is a myth".
Sure, not everything is awesome - but there's at least $2B worth of robotics companies out there that significantly accelerated their development timelines leveraging ROS.

Very interesting meetings in DC. We pointed out that one topic completely missing from Biden’s Executive Order on AI was: robots! Fun filling them in on recent developments….
#ICYMI @UofCalifornia researchers were in Washington, DC discussing AI policy and the recent Executive Order. From a Capitol Hill briefing to meetings with congressional and White House leaders, it was a busy trip!

Livox MID-360 mounted up on my old RoboMagellan platform to collect some #ROS2 bag files since it’s unseasonably warm out today

This is great for those of us that attended ROSCon but didn’t make it to many/any talks
Hey #ROS developers!
The #ROSCon2023 videos and slides are now online! They're free and a great resource to learning about ROS.
You can find them on the ROSCon website:
roscon.ros.org/2023/
And on Vimeo:

Meet the hyperefficient new WebGL renderer. It just _flies_ on phones old and new, and screams on laptops!

My good friend and long-time HomeBrew Robotics Club member, Tim Craig, has passed. Tim was also an avid traveler and photographer. His main robot was a beast of a 'bot named Brutus.

Neato Robotics is no more…
Sad to see the end of the NEATO era. What a great Bay Area robotics innovator, Silicon Valley Robotics member and first company to provide real navigation on robot vacuum cleaners for only $400!

3 months ago @hugs & I set our first milestone goal to be able to traverse the length of his block with our bot.
Today we achieved that milestone!
