Added highly-scalable loop closure and bundle adjustment to my ultra-efficient VIO. See me running around my apartment for a few loops and return to starting point. Uses model on NPU instead of the classic bag-of-words; which is not very scalable. This is now VIO + Loop Closure running realtime on my $15 camera board. 😁

@L42ARO @fdotinc very cool. how is the latency from rpi to cloud? also check esp cam which is even cheaper for this.

[1/3] DAY 7 of building Odyseus - AI Navigation as a service for any mobile robot without any fancy sensors or expensive hardware, just a Raspberry pi, a camera and a connection to the cloud. Building out of @fdotinc

@mSanterre neat! i don’t see it on your timeline though

@_asadmemon I've been building a small robot with these. They're amazing chips for low power vision streaming.

beating supply chain surprises 😁

@hiseob @xadh vision i think

@xadh Rockchip Video maybe

Why TF does a Cortex-A7 SoC have part number that starts with “RV”?

@HardikSeth69 @_streetdogg haha cool name

Meet Soan Papdi — The Easiest Way to Learn FPGA After months of building, testing, and iterating… we ( @_streetdogg & I ) created something simple, clean, and actually beginner-friendly. Just connect, build, and deploy your ideas on real hardware. Would love your thoughts 👇

@theonlyAyo @nikmel2803 @tnkrdotai whats the rough bom cost now

Wrapping up the Open Duck build with @nikmel2803 and all I can say is, if you want to get into robotics this is a perfect starting point. Project cuts across Mechanical, Electrical, Software and Sim2Real Learning. More to come soon @tnkrdotai

@goldenrishabh wasn’t using the features from that so downgraded.

@_asadmemon Why did you switch from RV1106?

@macjshiggins tried orbstack?

is there a worse executed piece of software than docker for osx?

@roman_koshchei @yacineMTB i am adding mavlink support

@_asadmemon @yacineMTB can it replace gps in some sense in open environment?

POV you are looking at a "NDAA" (heavy sarcasm) advertised drone BOM

@yacineMTB @roman_koshchei there is a button here, coming in summer but can ship prototype earlier mightycamera.com

@_asadmemon @roman_koshchei can i buy a unit?

@roman_koshchei @yacineMTB happy to help actually!

@yacineMTB I need to do the same as this guy tbh.

@lilygo9 neat! why so thick?

T-Dev Pocket Progress Update

@bruja_xH haha no i am not. 1103 is great indeed!

@_asadmemon Are you luckfox? 1103 is great soc!!!

@SGhashghaei handy in this memory constraint world!

@_asadmemon Crazy thing is our machine could salvage them from used PCB's to go back into something new. tuurny.com

@thisiswhyibuilt not released yet but so far folks toying with robotics and drones.

@_asadmemon Looks awesome! Who are your customers?

@thisiswhyibuilt a camera module to run VIO / SLAM mightycamera.com

@_asadmemon I've been working with hardware for years - what are you building, man?

@evan_thayer yeah that one is my fav in this series and have used it in previous iterations. i recently reduced scope so I downgraded the chip too. no difference in cpu

@_asadmemon nice. i've been working with the RV1106G3. 9 different power rails and 28 power pins! i've got a stack sitting at jlcpcb waiting to go.

@asimovinc bring it down to $500 please thanks.

It's $15k for now. We may have found a way to bring the cost down further without sacrificing quality. We're still testing it.

@i2cjak yes.

my baby looks sort of like me but also like my wife. Is this typical?

@nealagarwal @tristanbob i made joinplayroom.com for this. feel free to use this, it’s free. other option is cloudflare durable objects. i wouldn’t recommend rawdogging this.

@tristanbob just websockets! trying to get it to handle 1000 concurrent but tbd
