Sure software is crucial to the final working of the robot and it's not solely all in the physical design. Robots are not possible without software but I think the fundamental problem in robotics for manufacture is about physical intel

So interesting! Some similar work on this area: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23258-x https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020AGUFMP001...01C/abstra...

Robotics is not a software problem and SV companies bias is towards software development (a little different with X but still apparent). I think most companies that try to throw data at existing problems in robotics using existing machines

I found it confusing for a similar reason especially when you get into more complicated designs with multiple parts. I think development could be massively sped up with a little funding. I tried libfive ( https://libfive.com/

Did I miss it or was there no in capsule cameras for this one? I thought the Branson space flight had a little more drama to it because of the scenes from the cockpit and passenger area.

This is why I prefer PhD or research degrees to Masters as the "curriculum" is more modular (i.e. I can quickly change my focus if something wasn't working out or learn new things without needing permission). US/Europe g

Indium, used as ITO in many lcd screens, has a recycling rate of <10%. This is just one example of something that can't continue (a) environmental effects and (b) these things do run out, especially rare metals like indium. Wonderin
