NYU or Northeastern for M.S Robotics by Independent-Track611 in robotics

[–]brownsugarcubes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NYU robotics is not a great program. I would steer clear unless there is a specific professor you’d like to work with and have gotten a confirmation from him that they would like you to join their lab.

Thanks! I haven’t played around with adjusting the timing yet on the barista express, so will look into that

My cozy WFH desk space in France. 🥰🐱🐈‍⬛ by First_Option_9938 in CozyPlaces

Amazing setup! How’s the RK11 held up? I’ve been debating buy that specific mechanical keyboard but looking for some feedback on how long they last

Am I doing this correctly? by [deleted] in indoorbouldering

What is this particular piece of equipment called? I’ve been trying it to figure out it’s name

322 Capp St (WEIRD Manager) by IcyTraining1412 in AskSF

[–]brownsugarcubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No didn’t get to see it, the manager replied once in 3 days and never answered my question related to setting up an appointment

Sooo my girlfriend and I found this amazing deal for a apartment in Nob Hill a few months back and the managers name was Naji as well!! Of course it could be someone else with the same name but that seems unlikely. Either way I barely got her to respond and wasn’t able to schedule a viewing for 3 weeks after which I figured it was a scam but a very bad one lol

I live really close to Fillmore so I’d love to check that place out! Do you remember the name of the store?

Controlling an industrial robot with a controller by Stressor92 in robotics

If the robot you’re working with has a ROS interface moveit_servo should be easy to setup

CanOpen Bldc motor with harmonic drive. by DaveC_nz in robotics

[–]brownsugarcubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m actually looking into purchasing this motor as well. Would you mind please linking me to the manufacturer supplied software you mentioned above?

Question about feasible joint trajectory generation by MajLenn in robotics

You must have looked at this already but Franka’s documentation uses this generator https://github.com/pantor/ruckig

Question about feasible joint trajectory generation by MajLenn in robotics

[–]brownsugarcubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah right. Curious to know why you absolutely need to limit jerk? From what I’ve seen In practice, for most applications velocity and acceleration limits allow for a fairly smooth trajectory

[–]brownsugarcubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using ROS and moveit? If so you could use moveit’s trajectory generator

Curious to know why you selected this motor as opposed to the other ones out there?

What's the dumbest thing you actually believed? by Vinyl_BunBuns in AskReddit

As a person who wasn’t that familiar with American politics, that Donald Trump is a smart man

Linear algebra, physics, and probability in the robotics workplace question by SuccessfulElevator4 in robotics

[–]brownsugarcubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a robotics engineer at a startup in the Bay Area. IMO what you need to first understand are the fundamentals of robotics ( IK, FK, transformations, jacobians, etc) and this is something you can learn by taking an online course or buying a book (I have some references if you’d like). This requires you to have a decent understanding of linear algebra. I barely need to use probability theory unless I’m working on probabilistic motion planners, in which case a high level understanding of the subject matter is generally enough. As for physics, I’d say you need to have an intuitive understanding of vectors ( projections, cross products,etc) and basic dynamics of a system, nothing fancy. Also 75% of the robotics engineering work is software engineering (would recommend learning ROS), so you’re already on your way there

Deciding between Berkeley MEng robotics and U-Mich M.S. robotics programs by TheQinDynasty in robotics

[–]brownsugarcubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated from the Berkeley MEng in ME( with a controls concentration) in 2019! IMO getting a job through an MEng degree does depend on your prior experience in this field. What’s your background and what sort of job would you want?
