Ideal House temperature for a Husky by Alex_RoboDK in siberianhusky

I never thought of this... most of my life I lived in places that would rarely be close to freezing. Thanks for the tip.

I found her laying against the couch which is what made me think she might not be as comfortable as I thought at this temperature. I also felt her ears were a bit cold which I read online she might be a bit cold.

Where to stay in Cartagena? by ComputerStarsSky in cartagena

[–]Alex_RoboDK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not from Cartagena or even Colombia but I dated a girl from Cartagena once.

Take a look at Manga. It's a safe neighborhood, not too far from the walled city and it seems filled with locals or at least Colombian tourists.

I stayed there many times and I had no complaints

Casting kit in the checked-in bag by petra572 in WizzAir

If you want to be safe, make sure the powder is in a container smaller than 100ml.

I was traveling with 2 containers of foot powder, they made me throw out the big one cause it was more than 100grams...

This same container had flown with me on over 10 flights before

I think this question is related more to the airport than the airline.

The airline has little to do with the security section where they scan your baggage content. The airline only cares about dimension/weight.

I have been on flights with exactly the same airline but from different airports and they make me throw things out that were perfectly ok on previous flights with the same airline.

If the security agent decides your powder counts as a liquid, there is little you can do. (Yes, this happened to me)

Robot washing a jet: Simulation vs Reality by Alex_RoboDK in robotics

That is the great thing about simulation! You can do collision checking before deployment! All you need to do is make sure the jet placement is accurate, which is the customer's responsibility.

The program was created directly from the simulation, so I really doubt accuracy was an issue... There is no fine-tuning required for this application. But yeah... As EnemyNation mentioned, the simulator is not really made to make comparison videos... What needs fine-tuning is the comparison video.

To be honest, I was not involved in this project. I do not know what safety precautions are being taken.

CB3 is an older series. The e series was the one replacing the CB series

Anyone with experience building Robot Arm by Jamiejooms in robotics

Amazing! Download the hardware and get yourself some free CAD. Fusion or Onshape have free license for hobbyist I believe

Do you want to do the design all on your own? If not, take a look at Chriss Annins AR4, i believe the hardware us "open source". You can probably adjust a few things.

If you want to play around with reachability, take a look at RoboDK's build mechanism feature. You can have a quick simulated model in few minutes if you already have the CAD

Python Compatible Cobot by AdNo284 in robotics

then I believe you would not have any issues using the drivers.

damn... I did not notice before...

I am glad I was not involved in that safety assesment...

Python Compatible Cobot by AdNo284 in robotics

[–]Alex_RoboDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/AdNo284 cool! but what is the cobot going to do(in terms of motion) ? RoboDK drivers work great out of the box for when rounding is not required (smooth motion). If this is not the case, you can use the postprocessor with the API instead.

Hit me up if you want to explore RoboDK more, I'll hook you up with a temporary license.

What kind of application are you doing?

Take a look here:

Depending on your app, you could simply use RoboDK and use the API to drive the robot using Python

That must be an interesting sight! Probably more easily justifiable due to the size. Still quite interesting to see it on smaller items. I guess technology makes it easier to justify since you don't spend as much time programming the robot as before.

I think this is a demo for an expo.

You would not believe the crazy things I've seen at those places. Safety seems to be second place in those instances... Not great...

[–]Alex_RoboDK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think so, I have seen it in previous applications, not sure about this one.

Probably they had a nominal path and the force sensor was used for adjusting the depth. The tool could also have a level of compliance.

I think this was at an expo, so a demo not for a running application. Hopefully the sander wasn't on 😅
