Review request: As usual for the time of year, I'll be looking for #IROS2026 reviewers. Highly interesting stack of papers on #ReinforcementLearning #Sim2Real #RewardLearning #LLMs #DataEfficiency #RoboticManipulation Reach out with your ID or papercept registered mail address and background. Looking forward to working together!

Finally understood ROS2: Instead of 15 Arduino sketches for 15 components, ROS2 orchestrates everything: 🔹 Robot model (physics) 🔹 Control logic 🔹 Sensors 🔹 Motors Simulate → Test → Deploy. No more hardware guessing. Just reliable systems. 🚀 #Robotics #ROS2

Spent the last few days deep in ROS2 Nav2 + LIO-SAM tuning for the other robot’s upcoming "wilderness" test. Now I’m debating: more time in Unity for better terrain sim, or just jump straight to the hardware? It is also very big, powerful and scary🫣 #ROS 2
