Deploy autonomous robots for surveys and manipulation tasks
What it does
Robot software brain for autonomous surveys, inspections, and manipulation in hazardous facilities. Instead of sending technicians in with handheld detectors and clipboards, an operator draws the route on a dashboard. The robot navigates, opens doors, turns valves, takes measurements, and returns a compliance-ready report with heatmaps and flagged risks. Hardware-agnostic, built on published research by PhD roboticists with a decade at Los Alamos. Deploy on your robot, or we provide one with it.
Plan, execute, and report autonomous inspection, survey, and manipulation missions in hazardous facilities.
No coding required. From a dashboard on your phone or computer, draw the survey route, apply a couple of settings, and the robot takes it from there, opening doors and moving obstacles if it has to, collecting your data along the way. A supervisor or operator opens the dashboard on a phone or a computer and draws the survey route straight onto the facility map. Set the stops, apply a couple of settings, and the mission is ready. No waypoint files, no robotics expertise required. The platform handles the real-world friction along the way, opening doors, working around people and equipment, and moving obstacles out of the path when it has to. It surveys, inspects, and manipulates in the same…from salemroboticsinc.com

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
