    LangWatch▲669

    Founder here. Langy is an AI engineer that lives inside our platform, LangWatch. It reads your production traces, writes Scenario tests and evaluations for the problems it finds, opens a pull request on your repo, and proves the fix by running those simulations in CI. A human still merges. Reachy robot from Hugging Face arrived on the same week we were planing on launching it, so we wanted to use for the launch. So we it wired to our Langy which actually lives on the platform, and asked it to test our own customer-support voice agent. On the video you can see it writing the agent tests…

    I’ve been running Clawdbot for the last couple weeks and have genuinely found it useful but running it scares the crap out of me. OpenClaw has 52+ modules and runs agents with near-unlimited permissions in a single Node process. NanoClaw is ~500 lines of core code, agents run in actual Apple containers with filesystem isolation. Each chat gets its own sandboxed context. This is not a swiss army knife. It’s built to match my exact needs. Fork it and make it yours.

    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…

    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…

    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…

    An open-source solution designed for individuals with extreme physical limitations, including total paralysis. When traditional assistive tech fails, this works by interpreting a single micro-movement—like slightly opening the mouth—into full PC control. Features a core system that receives micro-signals from any sensor to navigate a customizable hierarchical menu. The system enables voice commands for non-verbal users and bypasses OS language barriers. Ready to restore digital independence.
