Learn how to install and start using ros2env in VSCode, 1-click ROS2 workspaces, no Docker CLI needed! 🚀 #ROS #ROS2 #Robotics #VSCode #Docker

Setting up ROS2 dev environments shouldn't be painful. I built a VSCode extension that gives you 1-click, isolated ROS2 Docker environments. No system pollution, no complex setup. Just code. 🚀 #ROS2 #Robotics #Docker #VSCode #DevTools

@ShawnHymel Cool! Visualizing this in RViz would be even better. The different transforms could be seen as 3D axes all following each other.

Finally wrapping my head around transforms in #ROS. They require a good bit of setup but can be really powerful. All aboard the turtle train! 🐢🐢🐢 #robotics #programming #Python

🚀Setting up ROS2 for development is usually slow and painful. I built a VSCode extension that changes that.🎉 ✅ 1-Click setup ✅ No system pollution ✅ Supports multiple ROS2 versions 🔗 Check it out: github.com/SakshayMahna/r… #ROS2 #Robotics #VSCode #Docker #DevTools

Honestly speaking, just grabbing a simple ML model and experimenting with it on a given task or application takes you a long way. That’s how you typically get started as a researcher but it’s a nice recipe for any ML student out there or practitioner wanting to get started.

Excited to share that I'll be teaching a course on computer vision with co:rise! 🧑‍💻 We’ll “reverse-engineer” and build applications like: Face ID, self-driving, and image generation. Focusing on practical tools like @Gradio and @Huggingface 🤗 More info: corise.com/course/compute…

To all mates who like pixels, deep learning, and computer vision: I am working on Deep Learning for Computer Vision Package. The package will cover deep learning techniques and algorithms that are used in various visual recognition tasks.

I teach Discrete Math out of Levin's #OER text. Last semester, I made a series of videos (some lecture-style, some for motivation, all heavy on visualization), for my students. I've put the series on YouTube if anyone is interested : youtube.com/playlist?list=… #math #discrete #mtbos
