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

- 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…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
