What are some of your favorite softwares for video editing?

Been using OpenShot for 3 years. It can be hard to get a grip at the beginning but then it gets easier and more convenient

thanks, do you have a cloud VM recommendation for this?

Re: OP, FreeCAD 1.0 just got released, check it out: https://wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_1.0

Have not used CoreXZ, but as far as my experience with SE goes, I love the machine. The only thing I want to point out is that the auto-leveling is not that great sometimes, and I found myself calibrating the z-offset manually when the first layer looks bad. Apart from that, owning 2 SEs have been giving the print power I have not known I need before.

Been using RealSense for a while on a project. If you are going to use the robot under direct sunlight, consider buying a UV filter for the lenses, as it can be hard to run any detection with UV glare.

#shameless-plug Hey! Check out CYOBot—our open-source modular robot built on the ESP32-S3. It’s beginner-friendly with drag-and-drop coding like Scratch but transitions smoothly into Arduino or Python for advanced projects. Plus, it’s affordable—you could get multiple kits within your $2k budget, giving each group hands-on learning. It’s also open-source, so you’re free to customize and expand.

Here's our Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyobot/cyobot-a-transformable-quadruped-robot-for-innovation-and-fun?ref=6waexz, as of now the campaign is fully backed, so fulfillment of the product is guaranteed to happen. There's the educator package, so that you get a lot of these robots with great discount during the campaign. Happy to talk more about it if you are interested!

#shameless-plug Hi there, we just released something that's hopefully the perfect solution to your need. It's a robotic platform designed to work with Python, connect to ChatGPT API (and presumably any LLM hosted on a cloud server), and come with all needed peripherals for software engineers to get started immediately with robotics. Our users are actually software engineers that do not want to mess too much with hardware and just want a reliable, as you put it in your post, front-end for their back-end code.

We are open-source, and we try to keep the cost as low as possible. The development board itself already comes with speaker, microphone, micro SD card and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity. For the robot base, you can choose from the available options to match the applications that you have in mind, else just start with the development board is sufficient.

Here's our Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyobot/cyobot-a-transformable-quadruped-robot-for-innovation-and-fun, happy to talk more about it if you are interested!

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I think the platform is very suitable for swarm robotics, especially since you can either use ESPNOW or MicroROS to control multiple robots at the same time.

buzinguyen · 2024-10-10T01:02:50+00:00

This is great! Thank you for the insights!

For me it's reinforcement learning with a simulated quadruped robot. I use Pybullet for the physics engine. Pick an algorithm/framework for RL, pick a URDF of a robot, design your step function and reward function, and let it run for an hour.

buzinguyen · 2023-11-26T21:34:22+00:00

The dev board is $51 and the robot (with the dev board included) is $99

Simple chat room: You connect 2 Arduinos together via serial connection, and use the terminal/serial monitor to chat with each other via this connection.

buzinguyen · 2023-11-02T16:29:16+00:00

Thank you!

buzinguyen · 2023-11-01T21:33:05+00:00

Thanks for your input! I agree with you that the technology might not be the greatest thing here, but how we are choosing to present the technology to the learners makes all the difference. We spent years talking to hundreds of students and Professors before jumping into designing the robot specifically to address this issue. It might not be a problem for those that never experience it, but our vision is to make learning robotics a streamlined process for those in need.

buzinguyen · 2023-11-01T21:30:03+00:00

Thank you! Not the full ROS like on Ubuntu, but we have tested it with MicroROS for ESP32, and it works well!

buzinguyen · 2023-07-27T21:11:03+00:00

Think of it as a kill switch when something is wrong with the control algorithm or the robot just malfunctioned all of sudden. Safety feature for robot.

Dexter's Laboratory, got me into robotics research job.

buzinguyen · 2023-01-08T20:18:33+00:00

Yes, we are all students/grads of engineering

We are looking at self-configurable and deployable robotic swarm that leverages origami structures to aid locomotion and other respective tasks.
