OK-Robot: open, modular home robot framework for pick-and-drop anywhere▲542
Hi all, excited to share our latest work, OK-Robot, which is an open and modular framework to perform navigation and manipulation with a robot assistant in practically any homes without having to teach the robot anything new! You can simply unbox the target robot, install OK-Robot, give it a "scan" (think a 60 second iPhone video), and start asking the robot to move arbitrary things from A to B. We already tested it out in 10 home environments in New York city, and one environment each in Pittsburgh and Fremont. We based everything off of the current best machine learning models, and so…

Sowbot – Open-hardware agricultural robot (ROS2, RTK GPS)▲181
Sowbot is an open-hardware agricultural robot designed to close the "prototype gap" that kills most agri-robotics startups and research projects — the 18+ months spent on drivers, networking, safety watchdogs, and UI before you can even start on the thing you actually care about. The hardware is built around a stackable 10×10cm compute module with two ARM Cortex-A55 SBCs — one for ROS 2 navigation/EKF localisation, one dedicated to vision/YOLO inference — connected via a single ethernet cable. Centimetre-level positioning via dual RTK GNSS, CAN bus for field comms, and real-time…

Dobb·E – towards home robots with an open-source platform▲394
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…

I built a toy TPU that can do inference and training on the XOR problem▲134
We wanted to do something very challenging to prove to ourselves that we can do anything we put our mind to. The reasoning for why we chose to build a toy TPU specifically is fairly simple: - Building a chip for ML workloads seemed cool - There was no well-documented open source repo for an ML accelerator that performed both inference and training None of us have real professional experience in hardware design, which, in a way, made the TPU even more appealing since we weren't able to estimate exactly how difficult it would be. As we worked on the initial stages of this project, we…

A batched, concurrent wrapper for OpenAI gym library▲12
Hello HN, new user here, so please let me know if I break some rules. Currently I've been working on training reinforcement learning agents, and OpenAI gym, while is great, runs only one agent at a time. Hence I decided to extend it. I built a wrapper around OpenAI gym, such that it now runs several environments concurrently. All while (mostly) having the same call signature as OpenAI gym. And it is published to PyPI for anyone interested. For more details, please visit: https://github.com/Chimpan-Z/agymc Feedback really appreciated! Have a good day everyone!

Rebuild of Blossom, an open-source social robot▲58
From the post: Blossom is an open-source robot platform for human-robot interaction (HRI) research that I developed during my PhD. I’ve used Blossom for research in design, machine learning, and telepresence; others have made Blossoms for their own research purposes. I have continued working on “rebuilding” the entire platform: I redesigned the inner frame as a model kit, complete with Gunpla-inspired runners and instructions, and refactored the codebase as r0b0, a Python library for communicating between hardware peripherals and software applications. In preparation to present Blossom at…

Train and deploy your own open-source humanoid in Python▲30
Hi HN, I’m Ben, founder of K-Scale Labs (YC W24). Last year, I wanted to buy a humanoid robot that I could hack on, but the few options for sale were either too expensive, proprietary, or had a limited SDK. We set out to build an affordable humanoid robot using off-the-shelf components that can be built and shipped today, capable of running modern machine learning models, and make it completely open-source for developers like me. Today, we’re releasing our reinforcement learning library and sim2real pipeline for people who want to train policies for humanoid robots. If you have a computer,…
