Im a self-taught robotics engineer who has also worked on rockets, jet engines and drones throughout his aerospace degree in his spare time. Now ive cofounded a robotics company in London, Paddington Robotics. ROBOTICS JOURNEYMEN. LET ME IN.

So this is the torture machine they used to study pain thresholds on people. Those pain levels are then used to inform ISO 15066 which is one of the ISOs governing max force allowable by a collaborate robot arm. Dude is not enjoying it in there.

ah yes

Been reading about safety requirements for industrial applications and what are these examples. wtf are hydraulic engineers smoking

Just got some parts from @JLCPCB's new sheet metal service! Overall, the parts are pretty great. Surface finish is kinda eh. To hide the press-brake marks, I think they have sanded down the surfaces, leaving a weird sanded finish. And for like $4.50 per part thats absurdly good

Wait, so the reason 115200 baud is a common bit rate for UART is because its a multiple of 9600 (x12=115200). And 9600 baud was commonly used because its 32*300 baud. And 300 baud was used because its the lowest common denominator of 50Hz and 60Hz. And that was used

IT HAS A BUY BUTTON ITS ROBOT YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY

Whatever shall I use to tune my HAM radio? The conveniently shaped 24uH inductor:

Looking for people with experience building out robotic systems. Graduates with mechatronic skills are welcome to apply to the electronics/control or mechatronics role! We will consider all applicants for all roles so dont stress too much which one you apply to.

My startup, Paddington Robotics is currently hiring! Join if you want to work on robots that we actually deploy with clients, not in demos for investors. We have SWE/HWE openings for: - Electronics and control - Mechatronics - SLAM - Robotics software https://t.co/KjPJ98BOPy

Yesss finally!! Just need JLCCNC to add aluminum 3D printing and I think thats everything for common robotics prorotyping.

How do you even do RL on moonwalking

bruh unitree missed HARD with this one "small funny robot that you can push over" form factor is so much more funnier that whatever this is

One of the cooler ICs ive come across. Anyone wanna take a guess at what it's for. (Hint: its to do with telecoms)

Genuinely absurd that they carried on dives after all of their sub-scale models imploded significantly below their rated depths

As for the failure analysis: - Massive delamination of the carbon fibre structure with it completely seperated right at where they machined the carbon fibres rings round to remove the wrinkles. - Additional problems found were air bubbles in the glue used to bond each ring of

Here's my summarized testing timeline of the report including the testing and implosion highlights: Design goal: 6,000m with 2.25SF or 13,500m implosion depth 2015: Simulation says implosion depth of 13,200m so they go ahead and make sub-scale tests 2016: Sub-scale testing

Finally got the AS5048A CAN sensor done and programmed. Ended up bit-banging the SPI at ~550KHz so I can read the angle at 5KHz. Despite how noisy the sensor is, a 10Hz low pass Butterworth filter is good enough that I can also get velocity and acceleration directly!

someone dropped their labubu do i let in the idol of pazuzu into my household?

what are robot companies other than unitree doing nowadays. this shit is insane the only other company that I know of that is even coming close is @kscalelabs

meanwhile at JLCPCB
