Today a guy told me "Compressed Depth image is very slow in ROS" and I answered "old by espresso".

3 hours later, I opened a Pr in the official image_transport_plugins repo.

#depthz: 10x faster than PNG, much better compression.

@LouisLeLay4 Bravo 😉

[NVIDIA Robotics @NVIDIARobotics]

Deploy safe robots without rebuilding safety from scratch. 🦾

NVIDIA Halos for Robotics extends the Halos safety system, built on 18,000+ engineering years of AV safety engineering, to industrial robots, humanoids, and AMRs, combining AI compute and functional safety in one platform.

Now available: Halos Core on IGX and the open-source Halos Outside-In Safety Blueprint.

IK alone can take you pretty far.

I put together a really cute demo to demonstrate this. Watch this Panda robot CNC engrave the MuJoCo logo into a curved dome using mink.

The agility determination to have their digits on the shop floor is paving the way for a more flexible and responsive supply chain🤖🦾

[Agility @agilityrobotics]

Digit’s been clocked in since 2023, streaming continuous operations.

I think more people should be teaching their robots how to fall. incredibly important
