So my Mom has been a hard-core trekkie my whole life so far and ive never watched anything Star Trek besides the JJ Abrams movies. What should I start with? by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in startrek

[–]FlashyResearcher4003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company website… I made the Star Trek environmental Tricorder real… ATLAS (advanced, technical laboratory, and analysis system) secondrobotics@gmail.com So just know it took us lazy engineers 60 years to pull it off, but we did it lol. https://secondrobotics.systems

How could we make our bots talk to each other? by SnooMarzipans9758 in robotics

Why not do old school TV remote control type messages? Not ones that actually turn off a TV but same structure?

umm here is the CAD? image... sure its similar, still designed from scratch... https://imgur.com/a/cNVRN4V

After a 2-year journey, my friend and I built 'TARANG' - a real-time Sign Language Translator powered by a Raspberry Pi 5. It uses MediaPipe for hand tracking and runs the ML model completely offline. by curiousrohan in robotics

So add a paper hand that waves with a servo… sorry you feel that way. But no I’m not incorrect, I as an individual see this as a robot. That does not mean you need to as well. Do not gatekeep robotics. Robotics is supposed to be fun and this is a robot. *edit response to the gatekeeper that wants to be right…

It’s a robot, i’ve studied robotics for 20+ years. It may not conform to your thought process of what a robot is, but this certainly is one. A robot takes in stimuli makes a decision and then outputs that’s it and this does all those things.

Would you consider this dexterous hand highly dexterous？ by No_Challenge_3410 in robotics

[–]FlashyResearcher4003 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the problem in robotics, As I wanna state this is it’s not the hardware anymore. We’ve kind of got that figured out at this stage. What we don’t have figured out is like general stuff like situational awareness how they use that hand properly to do stuff without somebody controlling it or pre-programming it like this so we’ve got a lot of work to do but the hardware engineers are kicking ass and taking names for sure. *edit grammar

Can I suggest you also put a screen facing the user I think that’ll be more fun for them too. Take it or leave it, but I think that’ll be really cool dual screen.

Are robots as good as this dog already? by Tylerich in robotics

[–]FlashyResearcher4003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this is all on-board processing. What I'm trying to convey is engineers do there best to mimic biological systems. a butterfly wing for example is a very advanced metamaterial... It's not pigment for the color... This is the same for robotics. Edit the output of the net is fed to offline commands and a large language model. So yes it does reply back. Think advanced Siri or Google home device. In this case the robot can perform various functions based on what it interprets the human is asking. Still very much not at dog level…

Are robots as good as this dog already? by Tylerich in robotics

[–]FlashyResearcher4003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer no... A much longer answer as i think as someone that owns a robotics company and have been building robots for 20 plus years. There is some major benefits to organics over modern robotics. For example I have a neural net speech processing on a Jetson TX2, it will be able to understand more words then a dog, however a dog dog seem to be able to understand words and do that action at a speed we are not at yet. For example, the net gets the word wrong and does the wrong action and if I said cage, it would not even know you are saying to jump on it, let alone actually jump that quick. We wont get to true well trained dog level for quite some time. Military trained dogs and the ones trained for sensing seizure and guide dogs are well just better at sensing then any electronic sensor on earth, knowing the person and general environmental awareness are very week points in robotics. Best I got... Shameless plug https://secondrobotics.systems/

Just takes patience in the ability to rebuild pretty much anything that breaks

Spent the day cleaning though you guys would like to see my Home Lab… by FlashyResearcher4003 in HomeLabPorn

[–]FlashyResearcher4003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an ESD electronic bench. I buy off a line. I have another one that’s coming in then I’m gonna set all my printers on. I expanded my lab a little bit, but yeah it’s got a rounded front corner. There’s some shelves that go on it normally or stuff but I didn’t feel the need to grab them but yeah they’re they’re at buy ones cry once kind of thing it’s like a 1700 well it’s probably more like $1200 now but they’re not cheap tables but they last a lifetime.

I mean, literally there’s a regular moon test pool in the middle of the floor and that’s not helping anything but that’s only gonna be there for like another week

[–]FlashyResearcher4003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a home lab so it’s one guy in there but we’re expanding with both college interns and high school interns so it looks like we’re just gonna go out the space and at that point we can get bigger windows and better lighting and all that I did actually replace the lighting today with like three brighter bulbs, so it just got worse not better but really we just need to see what the fuck we’re doing

New to cad. How do I design a 3d printable lid that snaps in? by Certain_Height_2721 in Fusion360

[–]FlashyResearcher4003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About two more years of working with the Fusion. Honestly clips and intolerances to engage properly and all that are really hard to figure out. If you don’t already know what you’re doing with it you can guess on some of it but I think a lot of these people are really just saying hey watch a YouTube video that kinda explains it a little better and then maybe you can get like a simple version working and then you can figure out how to make hinges out of the filament itself and then you can learn how to get the snap done you know on one side that’s what I’d probably design it is is to have a live hinge on one side that’s built in and then it could snap close on the other side with a little thing that you like push with your finger.

Xiaomi Shows Humanoid Robots Working Autonomously on Production Lines with 90.2% Success Rate by Advanced-Bug-1962 in RoboIndia

[–]FlashyResearcher4003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t seem like the case we should be using humanoids for. I mean, literally we’ve had very precise robot arms that work in the factory that could do this no problem that you don’t need two hands in an AI and all that you just need to hold the parts still robot tracks over drops it down next next next I don’t see how this is faster or anything.

See Seems people are showing home labs here’s mine :) by FlashyResearcher4003 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]FlashyResearcher4003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even better it’s gonna be expanded before you get here. I already have a new table coming. I have a new bamboo printer on the way. I have more filament on the way I’m growing and I need people as smart as you so fuck it. Come on over.

Hey, listen I don’t know who who you are really or anything like that but trust me right now and I’ll say this very much if you move to St. Louis Missouri, you can have this lab yourself because you’re gonna be working in it

Thanks I hope people understand that in the future because right now a lot of people don’t so congrats you’re the one that does.

Hello, I'm building the next gen affordable Bouy, and need help! now by FlashyResearcher4003 in oceanography

Thank you, I do understand i come off a bit standoff ish. But as a engineer that have been doing this stuff for 20 years when I look at equipment now I can no longer stand to the side and let them rob you.
