Today in Weekly Robotics: Hugging Face is on fire open-sourcing robots, RealSense spins out from Intel, a robot dog made possible with ropes(?!), and more! weeklyrobotics.com/weekly-robotic… #robotics
Honestly, this looks impressive (considering the price).
@RobStride_com actuators are mentioned a lot lately, so I created a table comparing their models (plus two popular Steadywin models for reference). Prices are reasonable, especially if the quality is high. The RS02 could replace my current GIM6010-8 motors. The RS03 and RS04…
I will present #Cloudini at #ROSCon And you, have you tried it the compression ratio that you can obtain? You can test it online in less than 1 minute! cloudini.netlify.app
