Rule of thumb: Demos = as low as 10% reliable (read: we are showing you the successful cases). Product = 99% reliability required and even that is still not great (costly to operate and maintain, sub-par reviews from customers). So the answ

No video encoder information! As a roboticist, the number one thing I look for when comparing SBCs is whether they have hardware encoders for h264 video. Pi4, Jetson Nano, and Orange Pi 5 all had one, but some newer boards like the Pi5 and

This is your third question along those lines. Mind sharing your context? Are you trying to identify a need to build a company around or is this research more academic in nature?

You seem to describe the problem of automated anomaly detection. Many companies tried or are trying to solve this (e.g., Heex), but I don't think anyone has done it definitively. The issue is that "normal" behavior keeps chan

I assume you mean Orin Nano? (Jetson nano is EOL and only supports Ubuntu 18). Yes, we have users that run on Orin Nano and it's plug-and-play on any hardware. However note that the Orin Nano doesn't have hardware encoders, so it

Don't underestimate the challenges of making remote-teleop work reliably and efficiently with low-latency via the Internet: https://transitiverobotics.com/blog/streaming-video-from-rob... .

Very cool! But I think we can help you improve your video-streaming and teleop (it seems to be pretty low frame rate in the demo). We've built the probably best remote teleop solution for robotics in the market today and it can be embe

Thanks for sharing! You've clearly done your homework. Can you contact me, e.g., on LinkedIn? I'd love to explore with you whether what you want to build could benefit from the open-source framework we've built for developing

What's the news here? ROS came out 18 years ago. Maybe that's the news -- ROS is now considered an adult in many countries?

"automated error detection" -- how do you want to do that? How would you define "error". Clearly you are not just proposing to detect "error" lines in the log, because that's trivial. But if you don't

This is something we are actively discussing in the Cloud Robotics Working Group right now. We've already had a number of sessions on this topic with various guest speakers. You can watch the recordings here: https://cloudro

What's the reason you didn't use an existing slicing machine, like the ones used for slicing ham at the butcher? Reducing the number of custom made machines will greatly increase robustness later on all around (reliability, supply

Anyone who thinks they can just "out work" the competition cannot be serious about innovation. Sure, you have to be willing to work hard sometimes, but its much more important to work smart, meaning, knowing where to go and how

Almost none of these problems scream "robots to the rescue". Monitoring: more drop cams. Meal prep: delivery services. Cleaning: sporadic visits by cleaner. Med monitoring: IoT pill boxes. Calling 911: pendant buttons. All these t

This is actually not a new trend. RaaS -- robotics-as-a-service -- is over ten years old by now. I believe it was pioneered or at least made popular by several of the Willow Garage spin-outs, incl. Savioke and Fetch Robotics, and it, of cou

Sorry to ask the obvious: why not just print the caricatures using a regular printer instead?

This is cool. Any reason you used three.js directly from react instead of react-three?

This title is so wrong. First? RoboCup, the international robotic soccer league was founded in 1997! I've myself participated in "autonomous AI robot football" matches back in 2002-2004. And these tournaments happen every y

Of course, security/safety would be a problem, too, but it's usually decided after the primary decision of "do I even want this".

I'm with blinkbat: show me a task these robots can actually do! Humanoids are just not useful yet. Dishes? nah, these robots are not water proof. Vacuum? nah, wrong form factor. Dusting? definitely not worth $1,000 a month. Cooking? ag

"California safety regulations currently require operators to be "stationed" at the controls." This is NOT a huge burden. Any robotics company operating a fleet today will have someone watching almost all the time in
