In plain words
OLO Robotics is a browser-based platform that enables developers, researchers, and academics to program and control robots without complex setup. The platform provides ROS2 access, robot visualization, simulation, and AI-assisted coding through JavaScript and Python SDKs, allowing users to move from concept to working robot in 30 minutes. It is designed for industrial inspection applications in hazardous environments, making autonomous, repeatable inspections possible while eliminating manual risks and deployment barriers.

OLO is a web-based platform that gives developers, researchers, and academics everything they need to program robots — without the setup hell. Get ROS2 access, robot visualization, simulation and AI-assisted coding all in your browser. Go from idea to working robot in 30 minutes, not two weeks. No Linux installs. No config rabbit holes. Just you, your robot, and a JavaScript or Python SDK playground ready from day one. Now open for sign-ups.
Industrial inspection means entering hazardous zones, capturing hundreds of data points, and trusting that nothing gets missed. OLO makes repeatable, autonomous inspection possible.

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…

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…
Sowbot – Open-hardware agricultural robot (ROS2, RTK GPS)Feb 2026 · sowbot.co.uk · ▲181Sowbot 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…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
