The MockBOT

Three years in the making. This is the Mock TurtleBot. We're referring to it as a "Smart Table," a tray table that can reliably move from one place to another. If you're interested in building a personal robot, BUY THIS BOOK!

Let's be clear. Trump pardoned the J6 rioters. They were not "hostages."

Oh look, this is the first time I've seen Fetch #robots on Ebay:

@scottmonaghan I've found Linorobot2 to be the best model for a ROS robot: https://t.co/6EFY0fSzkf

@TheRealFergs I sense an air of sarcasm in your post. 🤔🙂

I'm loving the replies to this one. "ROS is terrible". "Net negative". "Software reuse is a myth".

Sure, not everything is awesome - but there's at least $2B worth of robotics companies out there that significantly accelerated their development timelines leveraging ROS.

@TheRealFergs If you're waiting on me to write a mapping or navigation routine, you're going to be waiting a looong time. 🤖🙄

[Michael Ferguson @TheRealFergs]

Thermal camera working, now just to clean up navigation and speed everything up a bit

@TheRealFergs Nice! :- ]

Very interesting meetings in DC. We pointed out that one topic completely missing from Biden’s Executive Order on AI was: robots! Fun filling them in on recent developments….

Livox MID-360 mounted up on my old RoboMagellan platform to collect some #ROS2 bag files since it’s unseasonably warm out today

[Camp Peavy @campp2]

@TheRealFergs Awesome! 🤖👍

@ArkElectron How do you like the Valve Steam Deck? I assume you're using it as a ROS Workstation.

[Michael Ferguson @TheRealFergs]

This is great for those of us that attended ROSCon but didn’t make it to many/any talks
