Research multi agent active perception, 3/4D reconstruction, product @databricks

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

Much easier to collect training data now that the plant & MPCC is starting to work

mounted... now for a little labeling

Wide camera just arrived, couldn't help a quick spin... should work nicely... also have UWB sensors in the mail... bought a 3/4" MDF board for the case... I'll probably use contoured cardboard for the surface, smoothed out and flocking powder for nice finish? I want this dock to look like high end furniture... like a record player

@Bad_Whiskey Sick! Why stationary let’s see it flying

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

Okay electromagnet landing pads work actually pretty well. Just gotta train a landing routine and we have a the full auto land/recharge cycle active, aka 24/7 flying if rotate a few drones

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

Just might work

We are excited to share @databricks 's new AI Extract achieves the new frontier at complex document processing tasks! It addresses a few key customers' pain points:
- Process documents with 500+ pages that exceeds 1M tokens
- Large, nested schema with 1k+ of objects
- Complex schema that requires frontier reasoning

Here is how we achieved it:
- In-house custom model for document extraction that is trained for complex real-world examples and optimized for serving large volume of workloads
- Custom agent harness that is designed for long document extraction. It decomposes large extraction jobs, executes smaller tasks in parallel, and reconciles them into one final structured output.

This is the methodology behind many of our work: identify key large workloads of enterprise customers, build in-house models + harness to address it, and ship to the customers through a close collaboration between the research + product!

@savsql There are dozens of us, DOZENS

@sebuzdugan Indeed. More to do then!

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@LegendaryH80858 Ya I’ve def fantasized about the recursive drone charging each other, it would be sick, probably impractical? I unno

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@tozmoon911 I would love this and it’s actually where I started but it’s just not happening with this specific drone, which is my constraint… all things considered slapping down 4 magnets in a rectangle seems the best solution for me (cost, maintenance, time to value etc)

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@Bad_Whiskey I was worried about this but I don’t see anything!

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@Michi07f After a lot of reverse engineering… ya! (probably best to just build ur own though)

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@Mr_Stoyte Good idea!

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@MikeHowton Weird I didn’t think of this considering I sail. Say more?

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@R2rule1 Constantly? No… anyway more importantly magnets are magic and it’s really cool

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@Munchausen23 They would help but it’s just not as cool tbh like smart phone w a physical keyboard vibe ya know

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@BajiraoDigital I was thinking of 4 flat square panels with a little give just like the round contacts… ultimately the accuracy of the landing routine can be dialed in enough already to not have to find hardware solutions for landing misalignment tolerance

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@liamjcoff Uh oh…

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@RipAPixel Just ask an LLM and do what it tells you

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@rodrigocmasc Contacts under prop guards, will share more soon

[Nick Karpov @karpovlabs]

@BallifJed Haven’t noticed anything going wrong w onboard telemetry so far
