Does this allow for also doing exterior work ?


Would it be no easier to integrate it into home vaccuums ?


How have the overall reviews been ? I love the idea and the product!


I thought of building an app for this where more folks can connect on a topic.


Do you know about meetup.com?


Maybe he meant a usable one, which meetup.com progressively ceases to be.


One of the best tools to learn.


Is there a travel bidet that falls into the same category in terms of the quality ? I have tried many but nothing works at the same level as tushy and thought i would make one myself! Would anyone from this community buy one if I made a very strong force bidet thats portable ?


You’re looking for a culo clean:

I have the high-end Totos installed at home, and occasionally still revert to this. It’s the best.

Have one in my travel bag, car, backup in luggage, briefcase. All you need is a cheap water bottle.

Test it at home so you know how to use it. Keep it in a tiny ziploc with extra tp (for drying in a public WC)


This is so so huge and one where a tech ten years ago had an incredible interest and since then the companies started folding and only waymo survived. That's vision..10x


Is there ready made low-cost arm that is available ?


You have to think of this as an entire system. The arm is necessary but not sufficient. An "arm" could be as simple as small servos and popsicle sticks [0]. In the case of ALOHA, below is an outline of the basic components.

  * arms (aka follower arms)
    - effector (i.e. gripper)
    - sensors (i.e. cameras, depth sensors, specced Intel RealSense D405)
    - gravity compensation (so the relatively delicate servos aren't overloaded)

  * controller
    - runs Robot Operating System (ROS [1]) plus other software (i.e. arm, gripper interfaces [2])
    - runs ALOHA model in inference to tell ROS what to do based on task and sensor input
    - trains ALOHA models using arm motion encoder and ACT: Action Chunking with Transformers [4]
  
  * leader arms
    - motion encoders (essentialy an arm in reverse that can be used by a human to telecontrol the arm to encode motions into model training)
The system at this point is "research grade" which is at once expensive due to custom/nice materials/units and not super user friendly--you must know a lot. See the build instructions [5].

For a long time, I wanted to use a robot with a gripper to make tea. Is there any 6DOF robot available within a reasonable price of <$1000 to do so ?


One thing I have consistently noticed that a mindset as a PM for any role goes a long way. This is why I am creating a "Think Like A PM 101" course that you can find here. https://www.pmacademy.co/offers/6MZoGJ9Y/checkout
