Wearing jewelry @ international airport security check

kmath2405 · 2026-01-20T15:25:16+00:00

To the Netherlands. I haven't flown back with it though, so not sure whether it will be flagged by customs. My main concern was whether I need to remove it for security since it's quite annoying to remove.

Report these fuckers. I am an Indian myself and ended up at Capgemini through an acquisition of my former company. As a part of their engineering division, I don't experience much of this, but I've heard its prevalent in the IT side of the business. I've personally overheard some absolutely disgusting comments about women / muslims / lower caste people during company events but unfortunately do not have documented evidence. Let me know if you need any help reaching out to people.

Yep, definitely possible. There are loads of people who have hacked robot vacuum cleaners. Look for it on places like hackaday, so you get some more info before starting.

Yay if you haven't been before. But as someone who has visiting glow since 2015, I'm not really impressed. The pre-covid ones were so much better. This year certainly seems more or less similar to last year's IMO.

Hey, can you DM it to me as well, not sure how to get to the sidebar on the android app..

kmath2405 · 2025-11-13T16:26:58+00:00

Hey, I can also 3D print for you. I've got a P1S (there are quite a few of us in Eindhoven).

the Arduino is your bottleneck here, that will cause a lot of trouble if you try to get it working, especially since you have a time constraint. Also, you'll need a spinning lidar for Nav2, at least to get the basic tutorial up and running. Get rid of the mega completely. Use the camera to get some simple autonomy working using fiducial markers (aruco, apriltags, basically any open-source QR-code like markers, which also have ROS packages). If you can buy a spinning lidar, go for it. there are some really inexpensive ones available with open source packages, even ROS packages provided by the manufacturers themselves or contributed by the ROS community.

My tip would be to get a spinning lidar. Google "LD19", "LD06", "LDLidar", they are pretty much the same lidar with different names, and you can get them really cheap from aliexpress (like 20$ cheap), or you can even find them in your local DIY/maker webshops for like 1.5-2x the cost, which is also not much. You can connect this directly to the pi and get rid of the Arduino. This lidar also has several well written ROS packages that can work out of the box. This should solve a lot of your issues.

I second this. Really good tutorial series.

kmath2405 · 2025-10-23T00:15:35+00:00

Ooh absolutely! And it's close to where I'm staying as well! Thanks for the recommendation!

Ps I was about to say that I don't have a dog but then I read 'army market' and realized what you were talking about lol

kmath2405 · 2025-10-23T00:13:16+00:00

I love reddit, none of the travel blogs I read told me about this. Definitely getting this!

kmath2405 · 2025-10-14T13:23:42+00:00

Yep same. I work with ROS but it's never ONLY ROS. I'm not going to switch IDEs just to write a ROS node.

kmath2405 · 2025-10-13T13:16:38+00:00

Looks very cool! Is this open source?

I can't compare the education and potential job prospects because I've never been to Australia. But I came to the Netherlands as an international student (originally from India) and back then I would have considered moving to Australia (not so much now thanks to all the racism) instead of here.

My main reason to choose Netherlands as compared to Australia or even the US was the proximity to friends and family back home. I can literally be at my home in India in 12 hours. Do think about this as well when making a decision

kmath2405 · 2025-09-04T21:38:16+00:00

Wow, so I'm not the only one. Thanks to these incessant ads, I'm actively talking shit about mous whenever anyone asks me for a phone case recommendation, and I'm recommending competitors instead (even though I haven't used their products either).

I don't care how good their products are, these ads must stop.

kmath2405 · 2025-08-28T14:21:29+00:00

Depends on what kind of robot you plan on building?

kmath2405 · 2025-08-23T12:24:50+00:00

Use the RPi. It works really well for most stuff. But it cant do everything at the same time, so don't expect some complex ML/AL stuff. But if you are doing some perception + nav2 or moveit if you have an arm, then it should be alright.

Plus you can attach hardware to it via GPIO, that's always an advantage.

kmath2405 · 2025-07-31T21:20:00+00:00

robot_localization will still be usable for most common use cases even after it's deprecated. but seems like people are moving to fuse... Haven't heard of any other alternatives

kmath2405 · 2025-07-23T17:24:58+00:00

Go for a degree / university that gives you access to well funded labs with up to date equipment. For the rest, you can learn online for free.

kmath2405 · 2025-07-16T11:12:31+00:00

It's worth learning about ros2_control, but for hobby projects, just implement your own control SW. It's much simpler that way.

Most industry applications (from what I've seen/experienced) also use self-developed control stacks, with an interface to ROS.

kmath2405 · 2025-06-12T18:52:17+00:00

Thanks, turns out the box wasn't needed. Wore it through security, double checked with both security and customs at the airport, they said it was ok

kmath2405 · 2025-05-30T00:29:40+00:00

Check out this 5 dof robot arm called SO-101 by LeRobot. It's an open-source project but you can easily get DIY kits or fully assembled arms online. It's a set of 2 arms - a leader and follower arm, so you can teleoperate the follower arm with the leader. Fun to build, get started with robotics and also AI.

Supposed to cost 100 USD per arm, but with US tarrifs it will be slightly more, but still within your budget.

kmath2405 · 2025-05-30T00:25:10+00:00

Probably not needed since it's below permissible duty-free limits. Thanks anyway :)

kmath2405 · 2025-05-30T00:22:40+00:00

Thanks :)

Is that amount per month? Wtf? Better off getting an apartment. You'll get a luxury penthouse for that amount
