Time for me to go back into O3DE @o3dengine for Robotic ! I'll be trying out things with the physics engine and Lua scripting, and hoping to make a (sort-of) autonomous rolling ball! Still a newbie so let's see how far I get! 😄 twitch.tv/indierobot/sch… #robotics #simulation
We're headed down to LA next week for a conference about open source for space flight! We've also organized a joint #ROS / @Dronecode meetup at Neros in El Segundo on July 31st! We would love to see you there. Please RSVP at: lu.ma/clu5i6az
Thrilled to be speaking at the 1st #ROSConUK in September! I'll be sharing updates from the Aerial Robotics Community Interest Group (with @mrpollo !) & giving a lightning talk on the big robot simulator list I'm maintaining. See you in Edinburgh! 🚁 roscon.org.uk/2025/#attend
Finally, the RoboBall is finally autonomous(ish)! I'll show all of this on todays Twitch stream, 1 pm UTC. twitch.tv/indierobot/sch… #o3de #madeinO3de #gamedevelopment #robotics #simulation #twitch
Weekly Robotics #320: 🤖 a dark side of the moon dataset, 🤖 a lightweight open-chain robotic simulator with a huge bonus, 🤖 how to train your 2T robot model, and more! weeklyrobotics.com/weekly-robotic… #robotics #technology
We're trying to organize a joint #ROS / @Dronecode meetup in or around Los Angeles on Thursday, July 31st. Anyone have a lead on robotics company that could host us?
Over the weekend Rhys Manwaring submitted multiple @GazeboSim pull requests to "help stabilise joints in models using ball joints and closed kinematic chains." We're looking for PR reviewers and comments. github.com/gazebosim/gz-p… github.com/gazebosim/gz-p… github.com/gazebosim/gz-s…
Robotics simulation is vital. The best-of-robot-simulator list with a 140 projects makes the choice easier for developers, but does it? hackster.io/news/robotic-s…
Continuing with RoboBall 🤖🏀 O3DE 25.05! Will improve the control/physics and start working with different collision in Lua script. Tomorrow (we 07/02) at 1 pm UTC twitch.tv/indierobot/sch… #beginner #o3de #madewitho3de #robotics #gamedev #twitchstreamer
The latest release (25.05) of the O3DE game engine @o3dengine is out, so I'll be redoing my simple RoboBall Project tomorrow on Twitch (June 25, 1 pm UTC). Very interested in the improvements! twitch.tv/indierobot/sch… #gamedev
My first own 3D printer! I call it... Filamental Alchemist 😁 #3DPrinting
🧿 ROS 2 Kilted on Windows with @k_n_mcguire 🧿 How to covert ROS 1 bags to ROS 2 🧿 @LeRobotHF 's hack-a-thon and new VLA model 🧿 New @IntelRealSense Cameras 🧿 An in-depth guide to motion planning 🧿 @NVIDIARobotics GTC Paris events ⬇️⬇️⬇️
In 2 hours on Twitch I'll show nanoquadcopters fly in Gazebo Ionic and ROS 2 Kilted, on Windows 11 with WSL2, and Pixi for the native ROS2 install. See you there ? twitch.tv/indierobot/sch… #ros #gazebo #robotics #aerialrobotics #simulation #windows
I don't listen to @DUALIPA music a lot, but I got major respect for her singing the famous Dutch song 'Bloed, Zweet and Tranen' (blood,sweat and tears) at her NL concert from the late André Hazes. Killer #karaoke song if anyone dares to try out a Dutch song for some reason
Time to update my quadcopter sim model to work with #ros Kilted Kajiu with #Gazebo Ionic. Again on @twitch so hope it all goes well 🤞twitch.tv/indierobot/sch…
Next week (May 22th, 5PM utc) we'll have an Aerial ROS meeting where Mihir from @NTNU will be speaking about Aerial Gym Simulator. Don't miss it! discourse.ros.org/t/aerial-robot…
I thought 80 simulators were a lot already, but in the last 2 weeks the best-of-robot-simulator list got an extra 30 projects added 😱 this might actually be too much 😅 github.com/knmcguire/best… #robotics #simulators
