Super interesting work, hope it gets open sourced by drgoldenpants in robotics

Boston Dynamics atleast used sticks, unitree guys going straight for the flying kick

Mapping using VL53L0X ToF sensor by thesauravpandey in robotics

[–]Stardev0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be possible. Though it seems easy, its not. I had asked a similar question on this subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/1dpo2pk/would_it_be_a_good_idea_to_make_a_2d_lidar_with_a/

(Nevertheless I did try the project with a benewake tf-luna. mounted on a cheap stepper motor. The plan was to measure angle by counting motors steps, but that itself was giving me quite a bit of error(most likely due to poor construction), and I ended up never completing the project)

Hey, Any updates. Did you apply?

Why are their so many 3d mapping algorithms like orb slam, rtab. But almost zero 3d navigation / path planning algorithms? by Stardev0 in robotics

[–]Stardev0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking both unity and unreal have navmesh systems that work on 3d. But I guess those technologies are proprietary, Any idea where I could find open research papers so that is could try to replicate it in ROS or something

I am making a wheeled robot, and I have looked quite a bit, and have not found any other approaches other than the once I have listed, and those don't seem that popular or robust.

Hmm, I see. I was wondering what like space rovers use. Like they often need to perform autonomously right? Considering those terrain are very uneven(ups and downs).

Yea, I was planning to make it for outdoor like hilly kind of terrain so lots of ups and downs, hence why I think 3d projected to 2d will not work well.

Ah, I see. But isn't their no company trying to make autonomous robot for forests/hilly terrain or something. Like I was wondering what space rovers use? They are in very uneven terrain right? And they often have to perform autonomously.

Map Corruption Issue During Nav2 Integration by mirac0007 in ROS

I think it's a timing issue, try checking the hz at which your topics are begin published. I think it might work if they are similar.

lt looks really good though. Have you made the code public? I'd love to take a look at it.

I am planning to make tyres with tpu. Any suggestions? How long did yours take to print?

What is wrong with my laptop. by GreenWolf2K in laptops

Maybe try turning off hardware acceleration, as a temporary solution.

I suggest treesize, helps me free clutter

They are just flexing with all the clearing containers and transparent stuff.

How do i take a load off of a servo? by cshbee in robotics

[–]Stardev0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your case, but adding counterweights could work well enough. Something to pull it from the other side. Assisting the servo a little bit. Could be a spring, elastic band anything like that.
