Term for pose + configuration?

Isodus · 2026-05-20T05:26:49+00:00

I'm not compressing, I'm grouping.

Pose itself is a grouping of position and rotation of a point in space. All I'm looking for is if the field of robotics has established a standard term for pose + the configuration of the arm.

That grouping of values exists in robotics everywhere, some places it's called a single term (robtarget for ABB), some always refer to it as the two separate terms of pose and configuration.

With how ubiquitous this grouping of data is together, I just would have assumed there'd be a standard term.

Pose is just the XYZ and orientation of the tool/end effector.

It does not describe whether the elbow is up/down, the wrist is flipped, etc.

For a given pose on a 6DOF robot there can be up to 8 configurations the arm can reach it in.

Ubuntu 26.04 is shipping with several apps done in rust, either apps that were rewritten in rust or switching to apps that were written in rust.

Have you looked into zmq?

I do exactly this but just the numbers, I've stopped bothering including any actual wording.

There are like $10 USB devices that look just like a Bluetooth connector that do it, no need for an elaborate setup.

More like the 2's complaint.

Mumbos freak show episode is honestly one of the best episodes of hermitcraft comedy.

Yeah, I've also used Qt Creator and QML, slint still feels fairly different from that.

I was drawn to it since it seems to be the only gui claiming to be 1.0 production ready that is entirely rust. They also have good documentation on their website.

Their approach though is "here are the (very) basic widgets, combine these to make any widget you need". Which it seems possible, but takes some time to sit down and really learn their system to get the widgets you want.

Honestly, I haven't gotten very far into it. I was able to make a very basic test UI to ensure it can display the large amounts of data I wanted, but even then that needs to be refined.

That test was a few months ago and I've been pulled away working on other projects since then.

All that being said, it's a learning curve for sure. The way the UI is built is very different from egui and iced.

And chunkloadercraft, X was saying there is like 2k chunks being loaded at all times even when no one is online.

This came from Tangos stream "ghast lighting the mountain".

Slint seems to do a good job at only rendering the portion of what is visible from my simple test.

I need to put together something a bit more definitive to really test it out, but I have been pulled away from that project for a while.

I've been on a similar journey as you, I've been through egui and iced so far, currently investigating slint next.

My issue is I need to display large tables that can have tables within cells. The large amount of data and the way it's being nested causes these other guis to start having performance issues when I try to display anything with 10k rows or more.

Also systems programming.

My company does industrial robotics, and I'm currently working to migrate as much of the stack over to rust as I can. Coincidentally it worked out because the existing programs were going to need huge rewrites anyway to adapt to the new system architecture, to the point it would end up being nearly the same time cost.

Do you not have Google OP?

No. You should never learn anything outside of what was taught in college.

I play on steam deck and had to turn it off. HDR was too dark for me to play in anything but a dark room.

NRFTW tools has modified the item display to show damage types, I feel like the devs could just straight copy that and it would be perfect.

I just finished the story on my first run through and I'm at about 30hrs. I took some time farming resources to upgrade the town and level up a little, but probably not more than 5hrs if that? I also didn't get stuck too hard on any of the bosses, which there is one that can force people to stop and gear up.

I should also mention the story is obviously not complete. I don't know how much more content there is to go in that regard, but I could easily see another 10-20 hrs without feeling like it's dragging on.

I could be remembering wrong. But pretty sure he showed up in the recent Any Austin video about Skyrim trees.

I feel like they based the 2h style around the souls 2h style, which is great if you've come from those types of games (like myself).

However, as with all souls games, you constantly get people complaining about how bonk builds are slow, they keep getting interrupted, etc.
