@romir_jain Deployment is our number one focus

@jonstephens85 sim is getting better fast but the "ok now get this model running on the hardware in the warehouse" step is still brutal. that's the gap nobody talks about enough

Simulation for robot deploy in warehouse operations is key because you can’t afford to deploy a robot in a live environment first to see how well it performs.

@ahmedshubber25 @Tristan30238172 I agree @ahmedshubber25 My colleagues use coding agent a lot! Especially in the faster iteration phase.

@jonstephens85 @Tristan30238172 I don’t care what you use as long as you he the job done as quickly as possible. This is a race to win, Not take the slowest legacy approach I encourage people to take shortcuts at lumina

Guys, we’re building a full-stack engineering team to support autonomy, project management systems, HMI, and more. Look what this candidate just sent us. Wow.

@Tristan30238172 @ahmedshubber25 My initial reaction too: vibe codes

@ahmedshubber25 Codex for sure

@chris_j_paxton I think Disney has really been focused on this. And for good reason

I think more people should be teaching their robots how to fall. incredibly important

@shlykur Someone should do a super cut of this

@jonstephens85 Watching it adjust its teleop headset; priceless

This livestream is incredible! I just have it running on a tv in the office. It’s interesting to see when it makes little mistakes and corrects itself

@monitoringmts Ha! No

@jonstephens85 can we use Parcel Simulator on Steam to do this?

@LightwheelAI It’s ALL about speeding up deployment!

Logistics is where dexterous hand manipulation gets tested for real. Packages shift under the hand. Soft parcels deform during grasping. Contact changes with every manipulation. That is why warehouse sorting needs to be evaluated in simulation before real-world deployment. @LightwheelAI builds evaluation infrastructure to expose failures, measure performance, and close the loop from testing to deployment for industrial teams. #PhysicalAI #Robotics #Simulation #Evaluation #DexterousManipulation #LogisticsAutomation

@ash_twtz NV, I like the people who work there. Low ego vibes.

You got offers from all 4. Which one are you picking and why?

@janusch_patas @nvidiaomniverse Yea. It works really well.

@jonstephens85 @nvidiaomniverse That's definitively cool!

I'm having way too much fun playing with physics in 3DGS scenes. The only problem, the cube only collides when dropped. I obviously pulled the cube up through the table. Also, the shadows work nicely. I did this with... @nvidiaomniverse's NuRec integration into Isaac Sim. Processed with 3DGUT > Import into Isaac Sim > Add physics This is part of a larger workflow I've been cooking up over the past week. #3D #Simulation #Computervision

@matt_leho I typically have them off except when needing them on.

@jonstephens85 Watch out cause they don’t stop filming when ur done with them. They’ll record you with your wife and force someone in Africa to label the footage lol. Best to store them in the case when you’re done with them.

Getting back to using my Meta 2 glasses to capture every day moments with my kids. This has always been the best use case for these.

@peterfalkingham @Affinity I’ll try it out!

@jonstephens85 @Affinity Ah, distrobox (or, davinci box) is your friend. On bazzite/Bluefin etc there's a simple command 'ujust resolve-install' that just installs it. Works perfectly. There's this for other distros: github.com/zelikos/davinc…

Shocked that not one response mentions software compatibility. I run a dual boot system. My creator software stack simply doesn’t work on Linux…or not well.

@peterfalkingham @Affinity My biggest headache is Davinci Resolve. They have a Linux version, but I keep running into issues when using it.

@jonstephens85 Out of interest, what's missing? I recently made the jump and have been shocked almost everything works. If @Affinity can pull their fingers out so I don't need a cludge to get it working on Linux, I'll be 100% native

@Zinny_Edmund Chilling. Burn out culture is real.

It’s weekendddd, are you building something or just chilling?

@martinsketners @mattbroadstreet You COULD run your processing on a server. But it all just gets more difficult at that stage.

@jonstephens85 @mattbroadstreet Thx, I just started studying 3DGS, and this is the first conclusion I came to. Looks like these studies will cost me a bit :)

CUDA

@XRoboHub And it ended in a… double TKO! 😝

Unitree G1 vs EngineAI PM01 finally happened 😂
