24 alternatives to Cubic Doggo 06R: 12-DOF 4-Legged Robot with IMU

This repo is an upgrade to my previous project, Cubic Doggo: https://github.com/SphericalCowww/CubicDoggo It has since implemented an IMU and several mechanical reinforcements. The next step will be simulation and reinforcement learning.

    This is a recipe for building intermediate-priced robot dog from scratch with all commercial/3D-printed parts, controlled by Rasp Pi 5 and ROS2 Jazzy. A manually coded walk gait is implemented so far, which can be controlled by a controller to move forward or change directions. It does not yet have an IMU required for RL training; however, I believe it's one of the simplest design out there available for multiple development paths.

    Hi HN! Proud to share our open-source robot platform, Dobb·E, a home robot system that needs just 5 minutes of human teaching to learn new tasks. We've already taken Dobb·E to 10 different homes in New York, taught it 100+ tasks, and we are just getting started! I would love to hear your thoughts about this. Here are some more details, below (or see a Twitter thread with attached media: https://twitter.com/i/status/1729515379892826211 or https://nitter.net/i/status/1729515379892826211): We engineered Dobb·E to maximize efficiency, safety, and…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…
