🌟 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗢𝗦! 🌟 I’ve decided to start sharing my insights about 𝗥𝗢𝗦𝟮 (Robot Operating System) and Robotics with you all! It’s a fascinating field that combines technology and creativity. One of the key concepts in robotics is 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, which helps us manage the positions, orientations, and dynamic attributes of different parts of a robot. It’s fascinating how this idea is rooted in deep mathematics! Here are some core concepts related to transformation: - 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This involves moving an object from one place to another. - 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘅: This is used to rotate objects in space. - 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻: A more advanced way to represent rotations, avoiding some issues with rotation matrices. Transformation is not only vital in multi-body dynamics but also plays a significant role in computer graphics! In ROS2, the 𝘁𝗳𝟮 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲 is essential for handling all the transformation calculations, making it easier for robots to understand their environment. I will share more insights in this regard soon 🤖✨ #Robotics #Transformation #ROS2 #ROS

Philosophy of biorobotics! In this chapter I discuss how robotic models can be used to stimulate (with a "t"), rather than just simulate, biological and cognitive mechanisms. The focus is on humanoid robotics. I identify some research questions that can (and others that probably cannot) be addressed by this approach, and discuss the 'model validity problem'.

Presenting GET-Zero, a model architecture and training approach that enables robots to adapt to hardware changes instantly, without needing retraining. At the core of this approach is the Graph Embodiment Transformer (GET), a transformer model that incorporates the robot's structural configuration (embodiment graph) into its attention mechanism. By using behavior cloning, the GET model learns from expert demonstrations to develop an embodiment-aware control policy that adjusts to various robot hardware setups. In tests with a four-fingered robot hand performing an in-hand object rotation task, GET-Zero demonstrated the ability to generalize to new structural variations, such as different joint configurations and link lengths, achieving a 20% improvement over baseline methods.

🚀 Exploring Robotic Dexterity: My Journey with the Tri Finger Robot Project I'm excited to share my latest blog post about an incredible project I worked on at Arizona State University: the Tri Finger Robot. This project was a fantastic opportunity to delve into the complexities of robotic dexterity, advanced sensor integration, and machine learning. In the blog, I cover: Project Overview: What the Tri Finger Robot is all about. Design and Implementation: How we designed and built a high-precision robotic system. Results and Achievements: Key milestones and what we accomplished. Lessons Learned: Insights and takeaways from the project. I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions! Let's continue to push the boundaries of robotics together. #Robotics #MachineLearning #MechanicalEngineering #Innovation #Research #ASU #Tech Read the full blog to learn more about how we pushed the boundaries of robotics and machine learning:

Robotics is Changing the Game in Engineering Robotics isn’t just about cool gadgets—it’s reshaping entire industries! From intricate microelectronics to cutting-edge AI, robots are driving innovation like never before. We’re talking about a perfect blend of speed, precision, and creativity that’s unlocking new possibilities every day. How do you see robotics transforming the world of engineering? Drop your thoughts below—I’d love to hear what excites you the most!

"Humans were going after short-term solutions which seemed efficient bet were less effective over all. This is likely because each human in the group wanted to move the object in their own way. Ants on the other hand acted as a single unified entity with one shared goal." I currently believe if we can understand this message to humanity we can solve a lot of problems.. whether it be undesirable election results or an undesirable medical system. This is the same cautionary satirical message in the Isaac Asimov's "Foundation." If we can't consider our long-term role and connection to the rest of our civilization.. there is likely not much future for us. The beauty of true empathy for yourself/others and embracing/supporting individuality is the resulting stronger connection to everyone else that results. How can we reimagine our medical system with fundamental human rights at the forefront?

The 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo takes place April 30-May 1 in #Boston. We're looking for speakers to join us on our various stages. This event is produced by The Robot Report. This is a chance to showcase your ideas, explain how you overcame technical challenges, inspire fellow engineers, and shape the future of robotics. If your specialty is in technologies like machine learning, motion control, sensing, or software, or in robots like AMRs, humanoids, and manipulators, come share your expertise with the global robotics community. Link to submit a talk for consideration is in the comments. Here's a recap of the 2024 event. #robotics #robots #technology #automation #engineering #ai #machinelearning #humanoids #mobilerobots 🤖

🤖[Are you focusing the attention only on EV?]🤖 Boston Dynamics is always stealing the spotlight with its flashy robots (and viral dance routines 🕺). But there is a "chinese alternative": it’s time to check out Unitree Robotics. 📌 Official shop: https://shop.unitree.com/ Real tech, not just a show: Less viral videos, more real-world functionality. Democratic accessibility: Prices so competitive. No-frills versatility: From research to industrial inspections, these robots get the job done—they don’t just dance. Boston Dynamics shows us how well their robots can dance. But who wins the race for real-world industrial and everyday applications? #Robotics #Innovation #TechWithPurpose #Unitree #BeyondTheDance ce
