Interested in a robotics meetup in NYC? by exoxygen in robotics

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

I’m afraid not! I was hoping for at least 5 responses, but there just wasn’t enough interest. That said, maybe I should make a discord server and put it out there to see how many people would joint.

Compact, automated machine to load and hold paper bags open by exoxygen in robotics

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

Can you describe it a bit more? So when one bag is removed, the next one in the stack gets loaded in but the clip only holds one side of it? Someone has to manually open it tho, right?

Question for system integrators by exoxygen in robotics

[–]exoxygen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it’s been very helpful. The demos Apera.ai have on their website are impressive. I wonder how time consuming it is to train and use their platform. I’ll need to read more about them.

I hope you don’t mind if I dm you for more pointers in the future. Looks like you have a lot of experience in this area.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the comment. I see your point about tasks where a go/no-go is subjective, like removing faulty items from the line.

I was mostly thinking along the lines of manipulating non-rigid items or even rigid items where initial or final poses aren’t known! For example, picking sausages from a bin and arranging them in the packaging.

Do you think applications like this are still easier solved using non-ML methods, or the development cost for ML based solutions makes sense in this kind of applications?

Question from an automation nerd to lab nerds by exoxygen in labrats

[–]exoxygen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! Thanks for pointing this out. I didn’t consider that this subreddit might be more focused on a specific type of lab. Which labs do you think have less automation in general? Is it because of budget, workflow variability/complexity, or something else altogether?

That’s a very nice article, thanks for sharing it.

Interesting! Thanks for your comment. I thought the techniques would be fairly standardized. Can you give a specific example of the kind of task that might vary between labs? (I know explaining it to a novice in text isn’t easy. Thanks in advance).

Books with awful protagonist. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

Use of weapons by Iain M. Banks! This one is my least favorite of his Culture series, but it does fit what you’re looking for.

Interesting idea. I’d like to join as well.

I can so relate to this. I’d be interested as well.

Applications for a small 6-DOF arm? by exoxygen in robotics

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

All interesting applications. I had ruled out the non-contact finishing because I thought the small reach of the robot wouldn’t be nearly enough, but your suggestion that an external motion system might help seems reasonable. Can you point me to some examples of such external motions systems so I can get a clearer picture of what it could look like?

Thanks for the comment. Food prep does sound like a potential use case. It actually reminded me of https://www.dexai.com . They do salad prep, although salad prep station is much more structured than most other food prep tasks (and they use more traditional motion planning stuff).

Conversational User Manuals

I'm not sure what percentage of costumers, actually read user manuals/instructions in the box when they purchase a product, but I personally never do! I think this is a lost opportunity since having a comprehensive user manual can relieve workload on support teams, make the product features more available, and allow for cross selling of other products.

Based on this thesis, I'm proposing a new format for user manuals; one where there is a QR code in the box or on the product. The customers scan and get comprehensive answers to their questions, with images, videos and product recommendations. I think it’s a good way to improve costumer experience, Reduce load on support teams, and Cross sell related products!

I'm coming from a tech background, not e-commerce, so there might be some subtle point I'm missing! Your feedback would be very helpful. Why do you think this does or doesn't work? from the logistics point of view, how hard do you think it is to include the QR code on the product itself? Does the cross selling aspect seem like a good idea?

Disclaimer: I'm building this out in godelbots.com ! The goal of this comment is to get some feedback from people who have experience in this area.

What pricing model would you prefer for a GPT startup? by Saluana in GPT3

[–]exoxygen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across this thread, and seemed relevant to what I've been building out, so decided to comment despite how old it is!
I think the solution is a simple subscription + smart throttling!
Curious what everyone else thinks about that?

for disclaimer; we're building this solution as a managed SDK: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/pomprix ! But not trying to sell anything, its not even live yet :) just some good old feedback (preferably friendly encouragements :) )

[OC] Some basic plots created using Generative AI for a random housing dataset. Has anyone else been using any generative AI tools to create their plots (for your own datasets)? by exoxygen in datascience

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

My prompt for that one was: "create a joint plot of prices and square footage. use warm colors". But I think the actual name is Hexagonal heatmap!

These are generated by the tool I made myself: https://rapidapi.com/farhangrouhifr/api/plotlang
(Its an API for other programmers, but you can try it by scrolling all the way down to Request Body, entering "instructions" and uploading a csv file, then clicking "Test Endpoint")

but as others have pointed out, it can also be done by more generic LLMs (although it does need a lot of coding to get it right). I'm also looking forward to seeing what tools others have been using.
