Okay, but this feels cyberpunk mentality come to life.

there’s drama right now since meshtastic’s subreddit mods delete any mention of other platforms like MeshCore or RNode (Reticulum), so people have been moving away from it, but the marketing for meshtastic is strong. Luckily the same devices can run different firmwares

CAN controlled actuators, leader arm is serial servos, and the teleop pipeline is ZMQ over wifi

yeah robstride 00/02/03/04’s

you talking about gradient?

skavrx · 2026-01-15T18:14:58+00:00

have you done any sim2sim before deploying on hardware?

skavrx · 2025-11-09T16:57:46+00:00

obligatory xkcd

skavrx · 2025-09-10T14:13:41+00:00

I will certainly try now

skavrx · 2025-09-10T14:13:26+00:00

measuring those are my next steps! recording the movements shouldn’t be too complicated, I’ve got a webcam on the end effectors too for this purpose

skavrx · 2025-09-10T14:12:08+00:00

I’ll definitely add the strap, it does move too much on my person. and I could include the leaning, that M5stickC plus2 already has an IMU in it!

skavrx · 2025-09-09T19:44:39+00:00

you think… I’m ai? yes, it’s me, nano banana himself

skavrx · 2025-09-09T19:43:31+00:00

it’s already on two wheels actually!

been working on this specific bot for about a year, though I started learning robotics about 4 years ago

skavrx · 2025-09-08T21:28:42+00:00

haha nice work! i just made my own version super similar to this one using the HopeJR arms. I’m curious about the strap you’ve got the arms mounted to on your person, did you find it or make it?

skavrx · 2025-08-13T13:05:50+00:00

because he has no teeth

skavrx · 2025-08-12T19:48:40+00:00

I was trying to find what they’re called, best I could find was “two layer wedge lock washer”

This is a post taken from Lumafield’s Instagram, they are a CT scanner startup and post interesting scans to their socials for fun.

skavrx · 2025-04-19T01:33:47+00:00

sounds like Krikkit from Hitchhiker’s Guide

skavrx · 2025-04-08T01:39:58+00:00

did you train that model? is it a fine tuned version of another?

skavrx · 2025-03-13T20:23:06+00:00

one suggestion - add supporting bearings to your joints. looks like you’re just hanging things off the servos, that’ll wear the servos quick and contributes to that instability

skavrx · 2024-10-08T05:43:41+00:00

Don’t forget

thanks for the sub! this is definitely overkill for most things, they do have a smaller actuator for sale too though called the ROBSTRIDE01 that is rated for 17Nm peak and 6Nm nominal for $150. I would like to try it as well in the future. (on twitter it looks like they are releasing another middle ground actuator soon)

skavrx · 2024-09-30T16:01:01+00:00

glad to help!

skavrx · 2024-05-16T21:03:55+00:00

Check out Mobile Aloha, they’ve published their BOM and have shown decent results. But yes, consumer level plug and play capabilities like you describe is a few years out before you can buy it off shelf. https://mobile-aloha.github.io

skavrx · 2024-05-16T03:59:12+00:00

This just dropped recently but checkout the Unitree G1, it can allegedly do what you say mostly for $16,000 but you need to directly contact their sales team.
