I love robots.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@facontidavide Fun! I'm dipping my toes into larger LLM workflows, any big lessons or takeaways here?

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@jash_mota @ycombinator @flywheel_inc Just did a double take because I saw your name. Congrats and looking forward to seeing more!

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@DanAdvantage @KyleMorgenstein I'm sure @KyleMorgenstein would actually enjoy having robot knees.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@macjshiggins I finally got back into amateur radio after a long hiatus. I got licensed alongside both my older kids and we are having a blast.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@macjshiggins Is it the 70 dollars for a single connector or 500 dollars for the tool that you use to crimp that single connector?

[Intrinsic @IntrinsicAI]

Congrats to the @OpenRoboticsOrg community on Kilted Kaiju — contributing to an even stronger open robotics ecosystem.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

Get those proposals in! Roboticists are definitely not known for waiting until the last minute for any sort of abstracts/papers/proposals/demos, right?

[Open Robotics @OpenRoboticsOrg]

Big ROSCon 2025 update!

ROSCon talk proposals are due in just four days!

We are also happy to announce our inaugural batch of ROSCon sponsors! Our OSRA members and ROS ecosystem partners help to make ROSCon possible.

@SeeBQ For both activities I find that I end up in the woods cursing a whole bunch and then drink a beer after.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@KyleMorgenstein Move fast and break things (bones). I learned this lesson early on in mobile robotics. These things are big and powerful and can hurt people or property in the blink of an eye. Just because it's human shaped doesn't change that reality.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

I say this every time, but this has got to be one of the best release name and artwork combinations yet. @rosorg

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@macjshiggins Got the second edition as a Christmas present freshman year of undergrad. No regrets.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

It's our favorite time of year. In the lead up to the release (World Turtle Day on May 23), it is time to test out the beta of the new release. Thanks to all in the community who share in the lift!

[Open Robotics @OpenRoboticsOrg]

@TheRealFergs Easy! Just blast some shards and cuttings into space for science: https://t.co/fBLc4tDDfy. I'm glad we were speed running Kessler Syndrome back in the day.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@SeeBQ @Robotics_Summit @adrianmacneil @audrow @foxglove @vedantnair__ Not going to make it this year, but I'm pretty sure Geoff will be there. Make sure to post the good stuff!

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@SeeBQ Haven't found a robot that can run a trimmer quite like me.

Also, this was pool plumbing. I will be happy once they make a robot that can replace a wax ring under the toilet.

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

Normally I post about robots but this weekend was 7 soccer games, getting the neighborhood pool in manageable shape, and a freshly mowed and edged yard. But the night is young...

[Michael Carroll @carromj]

@McMasterDaily Need a zip-tie holster review in time for Father's/Mother's day.

[Open Robotics @OpenRoboticsOrg]

@mattfreed Hearing mid-oughts indie music in Home Depot is both pleasant and existential-crisis inducing.
