Not just quadrotor motion control, it applies to precision machinery as well. Eg. it's used in those big ASML wafer stepper machines that help power Moores Law for example, but also 3D printers etc. Low values for these derivatives hel

A bit on the macabre side (but your comments makes me believe you don't mind too much perhaps): what would happen if you'd fall or otherwise get trapped in lava? Gollum melted I think but that seems unlikely (it's a movie a

Haha. The tiny-2-bottom-teeth smile is also very cute, I can assure you. Biting mommy while feeding is less cute though. But overall, it's amazing to see the development and skills improve week by week. I'm working in robotics, my

Our first child. Born last June. Working from home with a baby there too for most of the time has been quite OK actually, much better than expected. Since the pandemic hit we have both been working from home (I already was working remote) a

Tell that to the people not on this, or any, forum because they are left behind and don't have any or a decent internet connection. In I were in that spot, I'd happily trade a few bright spots in the sky for catching up with the d

The Ingenuity drone also on Mars now uses a Snapdragon processor running Linux. This is not radiation hardened IIRC, but it reboots so fast that it is in control again before it hits the ground in case the computer borks due to radiation fl

It seems Blue Origin has gone almost full SLS with their New Glenn. So different from SpaceX. The approaches could not be more different: 1. spend a lot of money on first-time-right, making no money in the process and having all risk at t

Robotic Process Automation. I just don't understand that term though. There are no robots involved. As a robotics dude working with actual physical robots, that have wheels and arms etc, I got a bunch of recruiters for RPA roles recen

Is it really? I think eg. Apple paying their fair share of taxes would be morally right. If that requires me paying a bit more tax, fine by me.

Am Dutch, not proud of this at all. We just had our cabinet fall over a huge scandal in which the tax authority incorrectly reclaimed thousands of euro's from quite vulnerable people and ruined lives. But also wanted to cut dividend ta

Problem then is: the believers of lies simply do not trust (an certain topics at least) the unbiased sources. I've been thinking about augmenting social networks with some measure of trust (eg. express that I trust my uncle 90% when it

No need to buy an automaker, there's companies that have a car factory to build cars on contract for auto companies. One example is VDL in Born, Netherlands making BMWs. That contract ends in a few years iirc, so they could produce Ap
