    Hello, we're Max and Byran from MUREX Robotics, a high school robotics team from Exeter, New Hampshire. We are super proud to have made this open source piece of technology! It is only 6.9 dollars (actually!) from JLCPCB :) I hope you like it. You can find us at [email protected] and [email protected] as well if you have any questions. We will be putting a small run of these boards for sale somewhere (we have <25 units of stock), probably for $10+shipping. Let us know if you're interested in more! Board files for everything we make is here:…

    Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck. Enter, Now I Get It! I made this app for curious people. Simply upload an article and after a few minutes you'll have an interactive web page showcasing the highlights. Generated pages are stored in the cloud and can be viewed from a gallery. Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves. Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash. A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting: * This is…

    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:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;i&#x2F;status&#x2F;1729515379892826211 or https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nitter.net&#x2F;i&#x2F;status&#x2F;1729515379892826211): We engineered Dobb·E to maximize efficiency, safety, and…

    Hey HN! I've always found it hard to keep up with the latest AI research, so I built Arxiv Feed! https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv-feed.vercel.app&#x2F; It's basically a feed of AI research papers + a one-liner explaining what problem its solving, etc. You can also click on any paper to get a TL;DR. Right now, I've only indexed a few hundred large language model papers, but will expand to indexing AI papers in other topics. Thinking of also adding a way for people to up-vote&#x2F;down-vote papers. Would love to hear any thoughts&#x2F;feedback! :D Thanks!

    Hey my name is Crisa and this is my first post here on HN. I love this site and it inspired me to build a clone of it for my newsletter. Instead of having a boring landing page, I hope to gather articles, blogs, interesting projects on my own platform. I would appreciate any feedback, good or bad so that I can improve the site.

    Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.technologyreview.com&#x2F;2026&#x2F;03&#x2F;20&#x2F;1134438&#x2F;openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

    The first ever AI peer reviewed research article just got approved. It’s kinda crazy how advanced AI have come to replace researchers. I've just been using Deep Research on ChatGPT and Perplexity a lot to write and research complex technical reports for my boss. He loves the reports and it has decreased my workload a ton but I still have some frustrations with it. None of them provide an API that gets me the same quality of output you would with the applications. I wanted something with more control on the LLMs, swappable with the reasoning new models that came out. Not just prompt →…

    Hey folks! This is a project that I've been working in my free time for the past few months. It's a news aggregator that uses AI to select relevant articles and summarize them. The default sources are frameworks and libraries' updates, popular HN topics, and languages' subreddits threads that make past a certain threshold. You can run a local instance (needs an OpenAI key) and customize it with your own sources, and adjust the prompt as well. The resulting website can be browsed at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dev-radar.com&#x2F; My next experiment will be with local news. I'm building some feeds with…

    Think of HackerNews, but only for AI content. Did build this out of the wish for easier discoverability of new technologies in the AI&#x2F;ML space. Obviously, so far only a tiny small community, but maybe a few of you find it nice to be around and want to post a link there every now and then :)

    Hi HN! I am an undergrad student trying to build interesting things with AI. Recently, I was looking for a dataset I could use for a new project. I realized that it is really frustrating to go through all the government websites (with terrible UX) just to find some usable dataset. I set out to build a GitHub for datasets, named DataHub. Right now, we have more than 1000 datasets from Montréal and New York City, with more cities coming soon (and possible government agencies). All of this is wrapped into a powerful search. It's a breeze to find a dataset to work on. I'd be interested to know…

    Over the last 3 weeks, I built a website to organize 70+ AI tools into a searchable, reviewed, and categorized hub. Use case: I was constantly sharing AI tools with friends & colleagues, but the available directories felt outdated, shallow, or spammy. So I built my own: - Tools are categorized (e.g. writing, voice, code, automation) - Marked clearly as free&#x2F;paid - Includes brief reviews, ROI notes, and usage tips - Fully searchable and updated daily - Working on tool ratings, comparisons, and a “trending” leaderboard Website: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toolsverse.tools&#x2F; I’d love…

    Robotics is advancing really fast lately, with AI inference, different controllers, software, and parts always changing. I wanted a place that supports many device types, Raspberry Pi, NVDA Jetson, Arduino, ESP32, hardware sources, and maximizes for printability. Instructables, Github, and Thingiverse are currently popular but aren't really focused on robotics, So I built orobot.io to try and make printing robots as standardized and accessible as possible. It uses a lot of Agent built content custom to each project, and every project is designed to be used by humans or your agent. Features:…

    We've been building SensorSurf and are thrilled to share our beta with the robotics community: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;SensorSurf&#x2F;agent. SensorSurf is an open source platform that makes it easy for robotics engineers to collect and search data from their fleet. You can define triggers for when to record data (e.g. emergency stop) and capture the moments leading up to the event with rolling buffers. We integrate directly with ROS. Drop our agent into your system, and start collecting data! ================= What prompted me to found this company: > I was a perception engineer…

    Hi HN, Would love your thoughts on Open Paper Digest. It’s a mobile feed that let’s you “doomscroll” through summaries of popular papers that were published recently. Backstory There’s a combination of factors lead me to build this: 1. Quality of content social media apps has decreased, but I still notice that it is harder than ever for me to stay away from these apps. 2. I’ve been saying for a while now that I should start reading papers to keep up with what’s going on in AI-world. Initially, I set out to build something solely for point 2. This version was more search-focussed, and…
