Funny how lots of #robotics companies are pushing for robotics in the _real world_. This is probably becoming a buzzword in the field. Now, we just need to determine what is _real world_ and what is _fake world_

This November, I had the opportunity to attend #ROSConFR in Strasbourg. Here is a summary of the discussions that happened during these two enriching days damienlarocque.gitlab.io/blog/roscon-...

Vibe coding is when your QA Engineer doesn't know what is a unit test

Excited to announce UVT-RS, my first #robotics project in #Rust! 🦀 It’s a set of crates for working with Uncrewed Vehicle #Trajectory (UVT) files. This project was a great way to learn Rust crate development and robotics #data formats. More infos on #GitHub: github.com/IamPhytan/uv...

Got recently added to a development team where half of the developers are vibe coders. Breaking changes and half-implemented features are added to the codebase every day. Brb will try to enforce code protection rules and will add a test suite

There is most probably at least one person right now on Earth right now that reads and interacts with more LLM-written than human-written text on a daily basis. We live in a society

A great #opensource #Julia project for anyone working in #robotics or #AugmentedReality ! #Research #RoboticsResearch

Future is not buying the latest tech devices, but reusing old devices. I had a Galaxy Tab tablet that was made obsolete with latest #Android versions. I recently recovered it and installed #LineageOS on it. Now, it is perfect for reading and annotating #robotics papers on the go! #research

📢 Two new blog posts! I've come across so many great resources lately that I had to start compiling them in one place. So here are two posts packed with links for anyone starting in #Robotics 🤖 and #AI 🧠. - 🤖: damienlarocque.gitlab.io/blog/robotic... - 🧠: damienlarocque.gitlab.io/blog/ai-reso...

Vous êtes à la recherche d'un petit projet d'ingénierie à faire ce soir ? Venez sur Twitch voir @barbatronic.bsky.social enseigner les bases de @freecad.bsky.social ! C'est une bonne entrée de matière pour apprendre à maitriser la conception 3D ! www.twitch.tv/barbatronicl... #FreeCAD #CAD

While I took a year off of robotics competitions, my robotics team is getting ready for #Eurobot 2025! Team #Chat #Robotique 🐱 will be participating in the largest #robotics competition in #Europe, in #France at the end of May. Stay tuned for more updates!

When in front of a new device: - Gamers: Can it run Doom? - Some companies: Can it run Java? Can it run C#? - Roboticists: Can it run #ROS? #Robotics #Programming

In 2023, in preparation to the holidayd, I designed and soldered about 20 small Christmas tree🎄 PCBs to give to my relatives. This year, I've cleaned it up and published it as an open-source hardware project: github.com/IamPhytan/ch.... #OpenHardware #PCBArt #Electronics #PCB #Embedded

Know anyone looking for a talented roboticist? My friend is skilled and ready to join a great team ! 🦾 Check out their CV and share if you can ! #Robotics #Hiring

(1/2) 2024 was a year with lots of ups and downs I had the opportunity to see a solar #eclipse, attend AI talks in #MILA, publish my first paper as a first author, finish a master's degree in robotics, compete in a European #robotics contest in #France, and attend #IROS2024 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Fresh from the press : our #IROS2024 paper on #Terrain #Classification using proprioceptive #sensor #data is now out on IEEEXplore doi.org/10.1109/IROS... #robotics #fieldrobotics #research

🖼️ A figure with #TikZ is worth a thousand words To present the underlying logic behind a #rosbag, I made a figure for my #thesis illustrating a field experiment and the timeline of a rosbag. Each tick represents a message and each color represents a #ROS topic. #Robotics #Research #Robot #LaTeX

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 #Rust #Rustlang 🦀

My code for this year's edition of #AdventOfCode I managed to get a nice environment to code in #Rust, thanks to the template of @fffelice.bsky.social github.com/IamPhytan/ad...

Solved the first #AdventOfCode challenge. This year, I'll be mostly using #Rust to solve the problems

'Tis the Season for #Makers At this time of the year last year, I made some small #Christmas #tree shaped #PCBs. Everything was done with #FOSS: @freecad.bsky.social for the outline, Inkscape for the decorations, @kicad.org for the PCB design, PlatformIO for programming. #Electronics #Robotics

Since finishing my M.Sc. degree in Comp Sci (Field Robotics) and attending #IROS2024, I have seen many use cases of #MachineLearning in robotics🤖, from #SLAM to #Control. Are there any good resources for people with a #robotics background who want to use more ML in their #research?
