Leet Robotics: Learn robotics and ROS2 with hands-on courses
Hi all, I've just launched Leet Robotics: a platform to learn robotics hands-on, with a full ROS2 workspace that runs in the browser (Jazzy, Gazebo Harmonic, Foxglove, VS Code) - no install required. The platform also has room for sharing projects and simulation assets as it grows. Our first course is live now: Intro to ROS2 (free to read). The course teaches skills ranging from building your first node to a capstone project of a robot touring a museum world, with every lesson runnable in the online workspace (free accounts get an hour of workspace time daily - enough to follow the course).…
Leet Robotics: Learn robotics and ROS2 with hands-on courses launched on July 15, 2026 with 12 votes, #1,321 of 24,623 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Leet Robotics is a browser-based platform for learning robotics and ROS2 without installation. It provides a complete development environment including ROS2 Jazzy, Gazebo Harmonic, Foxglove, and VS Code accessible online. The first free course, Intro to ROS2, teaches foundational skills through lessons that run directly in the browser workspace, culminating in a capstone project where learners build a museum-touring robot. Free accounts include one hour of daily workspace time.

From the sources
Learn robotics and ROS2 hands-on in a browser-based cloud workspace. No hardware required. Build, simulate, and ship — from your first publisher node to a complete autonomous robot.
Where anyone can get into robotics — learn, build, and connect with a community of makers. Build an autonomous museum-guide robot from scratch in ROS2. Set up a Gazebo world, learn the fundamentals — nodes, topics, TF — then write the robot's brain: it reads a LiDAR, avoids obstacles, and drives itself through the museum. Finish by packaging and publishing your project to share. Drag the wheel speeds and watch the robot turn — this is a real interactive from the course. Every concept comes with something you can poke at until it clicks. Create an account to launch a cloud workspace and start learning robotics — no setup, no hardwarefrom leetrobotics.com

Dobb·E – towards home robots with an open-source platform2023 · dobb-e.com · ▲394Hi 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…
- OROK-Robot: open, modular home robot framework for pick-and-drop anywhere2024 · ok-robot.github.io · ▲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…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
