@chesterzelaya @droneforge hey any tips on how to use your stuff to launch from a rover? how many can you carry for like 35 lb payload?

DF1 is the name of our autonomy stack, it enables drones to do state estimation, advanced control systems, navigation planners, and perception. Nimbus is the name of our hardware module that actually enables the communication with the drone We’ve updated the website to make this clearer, check it out!! lmk what you think :) thedroneforge.com

.@droneforge is showing up with 25 drones + 25 Nimbus for teams that want to hack with our DF1 autonomy stack! Hackathon dates 5.15-5.17 in SF!

@simcity99 can’t wait to take a closer look over my morning coffee w claude and codex. thanks for the share

@alexpdiggs nicee check this out bro will be updating with new prototype stuff when ready github.com/vapor-autos/ecu

Ark Electronics for UGVs, Skydio for RC Cars, Openpilot for really small vehicles.

“To get into robotics, you no longer need a Ph.D.” - Spencer Huang Great read from @IEEESpectrum on how open‑source AI, NVIDIA’s robotics stack, and @HuggingFace’s LeRobot are opening the field to a much wider community. 📖 nvda.ws/4dZs6aN

@JackPilgrimKSR yeeeeeee

@MoundLore what the heck is that?!

@KuphDev ha! hey thanks. now just gotta get it off the bench and onto a chassis! and maybe some joysticks for the cardputer. i don’t really super know how to do this stuff but codex does i guess?

@alexpdiggs Haha that’s sweet!!!

wireless rover control: check using M5stack cardputer to wirelessly control the rover i’m building. all code written by codex.

自律移動ロボットMightyは、最大で12cmの段差の乗越え、15度以上の斜面への登坂能力を備えています。 さらに、Mightyは月面探査ロボットの機構を応用した特許取得のフレーム機構を採用。 平坦な路面だけでなく毛の長い絨毯やカーペット、砂利道や農地、凹凸のある路面などを安定して走行できます🤖

@Kd9Njj what the heck is that thing?! looks chonky and durable!

Been playing around with ATAK for land navigation & stuff the last few days. Quickly becoming a favorite app.

@iuliaferoli for shore! there's levels. and they're all more tedious and difficult than the sped-up demos make it look. but so much more approachable and accessible than its ever been.

@alexpdiggs There’s definitely a range of budget and capabilities. I stuck with microcontroller and processors the first 6 months. All good until you wanna run LLMs or VLAs or multi-camera computer vision live on your robot! Then we feel like we’ve *earned* the GPU use case 😅

Do you actually need expensive hardware to get into robotics? Short answer: depends what you want to build $10 pico running a servo arm ~~technically~~ qualifies as a robot $40-300 arduino / raspberry pi + AI hat takes you surprisingly far $300+ jetson is when things get serious $4000 boards?? we don't need to talk about those yet The GPU moment is very specific: when your robot needs to "understand" rather than just "react", getting into live computer vision, multiple sensors and cameras, and local LLMs. youtu.be/YPxWr7KPEHc This will set a great foundation for what hardware you want/need to use for the rest of our Road to Physical AI Series. #robotics #physicalAI @NVIDIARobotics @seeedstudio

@M5Stack @Raspberry_Pi always get confused on these. if i've locked in my spot, is it still 9 AM to actually buy it?!

@rshabhsinha agree that they’ll continue to get more popular. but i also think that industry has overestimated how many people want to be involved with their own production operation

3D printers are finally about to go mainstream

@jasonmauck1 as someone building their own little rover to use as a regenerative garden helper, would LOVE to chat more about this

I don’t know if Agriculture is going to change someday where we can basically farm autonomously / robotically in regenerative fashion. Adding layers of crops / forage / livestock grazing But I have a lot of fun in old equipment imagining what would be possible by doing it with what we’ve got to work with now. Cultipacking a 12 way cc mix with Sunflowers, cowpeas, oats, millets, sorghum, sun hemp, and mung beans into wheat and clover. We don’t want to kill it…I’m trying something here that I thought would work. That’s living. Being not sure but confident it may work and just FAFO

from one to many! riggin’ up a lil terminal block of sorts. one for power. one for signal. using a Grove RS485 from seeed studio to chat with the motors. bought some premade pigtails to plug n play and works real nice w the wago terminals. four motor tests incoming

@simcity99 yeeee cookin'!!

oh shit it’s green boys, i got root access
