Today, I have been working on a controller for the Giant Unicorn Hat. Have written a function to move the powered fadder to a set position, using a @pimoroni.com motor 2040, running CircuitPython to monitor/control the faders and the NeoTreilis. #GiganticUnicorn

Just wrote about using Pixi for ROS 2 development. pixi.sh + robostack.github.io simplifies dependency management across ROS 2 distributions while supporting both conda and PyPI packages in a single tool. Full post: jafarabdi.github.io/blog/2025/ro... #ros2 #pixi #docker #robotics

pretty cool launch system lmao, still bespoke (and ros) but at least it's actually usable > Rather than fixing an inherently broken solution, I decided to make a RAP - a ROS abandonment proposal :) > Unlike ROS2, all examples and functions come with proper documentation.

The biggest driver of robotics innovation over the last couple of years hasn't been anything clever. It's just been people making cheap robots easier to use. And that's a good thing; we have all the tools we need for a robotics revolution, we just need to actually get people out there using robots.

I've begun documenting this project to provide everyone with an easy entry point: git.hierl.dev/benny/SmartM... #ESPHome #ESP32 #LoRa #SmartMeter #IoT #SmartHome

@arturo182.bsky.social was there a parts related reason you stopped selling the blackberry style keyboards/ featherwing? Or would it still be possible to fabricate a batch?

Robotics and AI are revolutionizing the economy. Who benefits? Who gets hurt? How do we make the new technologies benefit ALL, not just the few. That is the major economic issue of our time.

:] !!! I figured out how to get the bucket actuator attached!!!! I'm super happy to have made this progress on it! I had some counterbalancing help and I was able to stand in the bucket with nothing breaking! :] {Rue, stop welding, its 11pm!}

Making it this easy to run complex robot simulations took >4 years. But the investment into Pixi and @RoboStack pays off - now you can start the new @GazeboSim / Turtlesim on macOS with a simple `pixi run start`. 🚀 #ROS #ROS2 #Gazebo @OpenRoboticsOrg

PCB fully assembled and tested. All good.

@kgiori.bsky.social is hard at work making an MIT App Inventor app, so she can control the robot dog from @elecfreaks.bsky.social in Olot, Spain.

In my last premortem, I imagined user actions that would damage the robot's PCB. These new 3 cm² should protect it from: -Flipped batteries -Wrong AA battery types The robot keeps working once the mistake is sorted. No blown fuses to change. (All parts in good supply < $0.30)

Researchers at Harvard have upgraded their tiny 'RoboBee' flapping-wing drone by adding long, double-jointed legs inspired by the legs of a crane fly, which enable it to make softer, safer landings 🤖 interestingengineering.com/innovation/r... #Robots #Robotics

Been working on this new little robot for around 3 days it's a hexapod that also works as a tool box. #Maker #robot

Hello BlueSky Robotics Community!!!!

ok, limited success. The controller does work with the robot. I wasn't able to test much on account of the battery being dead. waiting for a charge and will try more later. If its all good I can work on inserting the wireless link.

big congrats to Huggingface @hf.co acquiring Pollen Robotics! HF has done a great job stewarding open-source robotics and now will have humanoid hardware to go with it!

The trajectory controller is now robust across a wider speed range. The robot can drive very slowly at 5 cm/s or dash at 70 cm/s while steering effectively and avoiding slippage with soft-acceleration profiles to stay well localized.

Humanoid robots will never be this efficient at this task.

ros2 with nix has a lot of potential! #ros2 #nix

What would you love to know about #robot learning and decision making? Later this season, I'll be chatting to Prof. Lerrel Pinto (@lerrelpinto.com) from NYU about using machine learning to train robots to adapt to new environments. Send me your questions for Lerrel: robottalk.org/ask-a-question/

I don't want to meddle in another country's politics so don't take this the wrong way but I sometimes wonder if you guys made the wrong choice last November.

It's meee!!! These are the circuits I used to make simple Sumo robots 🤖 with my grade 10 classes! They definitely made learning electronics and microcontroller programming a lot of fun! 🤩

Getting there with the first iteration of the robot's PCB. Should be able to support and power a Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit on top.

My robots 🤖 are lined up helping me test a common set of learning activities that should make it easy for beginners and teachers to mix and match my circuits. There are C activities for Arduino UNO and Arduino Nano ESP32, and MicroPython activities for Raspberry Pi Pico and Arduino Nano ESP32. 😀
