Check out https://farm-ng.com/ . Not open-source, but I think it's close to the form factor you imagine

Very cool. Do you have a way to see the farm live (via video streaming) in the app or the web?

Well, every robotics company needs to manager their fleet somehow, and web tools are the way to go. My estimate is that there is currently a $4B market for fleet management software in service robotics. Not ginormous, but big enough, espe

Thanks for adding this. Yes, ROS is the de-facto standard for robotics software middle-ware nowadays and the vast majority of new robotics startups build their robots with ROS. Some people say it's like democracy (the worst form of gov

Yes, you can self-host Transitive (which is open-source): https://transitiverobotics.com/docs/develop/introduction . And on your self-hosted deployment you can install and use ros-tool with no limits -- except of c

Cool! Does the name derive from pair-programming, is that the main intent?

I actually think that there is a good representation of robotics on HN, the posts just don't always make it very far. So personally I subscribe to https://hnrss.org/newest?q=robot and https://hnrss.org&#x2F

Interesting. I have more questions but this thread is getting long. Want to find me online (see my profile) so we can chat elsewhere?

What would you say your competitive advantage is compared to these companies that have a few years of head start? Don't mean to discourage you, but it's better to think about this early.

City street but going slow sounds like a bike-lane type robot. The most comparable existing robotics companies to that are probably Refraction AI, Vayu, and Intermode. Nuro is small, but still fast enough to be considered comparable to a ca

There are already a number of weekly robotics newsletters. What's going to be your focus/niche?

Great companion tool to tailhn ( https://github.com/chfritz/tailhn ), which allows you to `tail` all new HN posts on the terminal where you can use `grep` and other things to filter, e.g., `tailhn | grep -r robot` to see

Half of what kind of car? Perhaps a Pagani Zonda R ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagani_Zonda_R )? That's a car and it's priced at around $2m.

Isn't this just a big illusion, where the approach is clouding the reality they are just using natural language, interpreted by an LLM, as a programming language? If the authors had directly programmed the robots to do those strokes in

Lineselect is a shell utility to interactively select lines from stdin and output them to stdout. This allows you to effectively pause the pipeline to make a manual selection before the pipeline, or other composed command, continues. Versio

It says everything about C when you need a code generator for something like this. This is why development in python or node.js is so much faster.
