Once we have this, we are done — Making a cup of coffee and bringing it to me is an incredibly difficult task. If you don’t agree with that, try teaching it to a child under two years old. Keep the vacuum and paper towels handy; you’ll need them. Young children obviously can and do learn to do…

Introduction The Robotics industry has captured human imagination, with visions of intelligent machines seamlessly navigating and interacting with the world around us. While the hardware design started scaling with the semiconductor industry, a need for a comprehensive and flexible software platform arose which could manage the complexity of robot systems. Hence…

What is this article about Aerial 3D reconstruction is an essential technology that plays a vital role in environmental monitoring, archaeological surveys, and cultural heritage preservation, enabling researchers to study and document landscapes, ecosystems, historical sites, and artifacts with unprecedented accuracy and detail. Today, as one of the latest methodology, published in ICRA2023, I will…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field, and there have been many major events that have shaped its development over the years. Here is a timeline of some of the most important AI events, with important events names bolded: 1950 Alan Turing publishes his paper, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,”…

The dream of creating humanoid robots — machines built in our image — is not new. Long before the word “robot” was even coined, people told stories of human-like machines. In ancient Greece, Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, was said to have created several different humanoid automata in various myths…

I hold a profound belief in the potential of artificial intelligence, particularly in the realm of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The advent of AGI has the potential to redefine what it means to be human as we grapple with the existence of an intelligence akin to our own yet somewhat…

The Robot Operating System (ROS) has become a go-to framework for researchers and developers in the field of robotics. ROS provides a powerful set of tools and libraries that enable the development of complex robotic systems. …

We will explore the process of connecting the Ouster OS1–32 LiDAR to ROS Melodic on an Nvidia GPU-enabled system. By leveraging the power of ROS and the computational capabilities of an Nvidia GPU, we can achieve advanced robotic perception and unlock the full potential of the Ouster LiDAR. The Ouster…

The world is officially descending into the uncanny valley. I mean, we’ve known this for decades, if not centuries, but now we’re sort of doing that walk-run-mountain goat gait thing that’s — all at once— exhilarating and terrifying. If the following isn’t news to you, congratulations, you’ve probably seen every…
