Building robots for a living and maximising stupid yet interesting life experiments

Quite enjoyed writing this one

Been driving a lot in Germany for the last 8 months (mainly for work)
Just when I thought it’s a piece of cake, I dinged a car on the road today 😂
Enters bureaucracy.
This might be the rite of passage to becoming a good driver.

Your boy passed his second führerschein exam today! We're done now! This wasn't easy 🤣

@byte_thrasher Man, I would love that!

2024: I’m working on robots with AI as a part of our intelligence stack.
2025: I’m working on Embodied AI

Words, I tell you.

Had to develop a new computer vision feature (not super hard, just time consuming). Pairing with ChatGPT reduced my development time from about 4 hours to 15 mins.

Amazing, as usual.

[Sharad Maheshwari @msharad19]

@AmirianJavad We’ve been doing that from the start. We had abstractions so that the core is independent of ROS. That made everything so much easier now.

[Sharad Maheshwari @msharad19]

Been porting everything we have to ROS 2. It’s not as time consuming as I thought, and works out just fine. Will update if I stumble upon bigger issues after port completion and long term testing.

@takeiteasyUrvy I say the same thing. We're too chill and dormant as compared to other states. I've lived in multiple cities and countries. And I'm always surprised (pleasantly) when I find MP folks here in another country. Not many.

Best timed run, yet ;)

This year I truly understood why technical project management is extremely hard when solving previously unsolved problems

Quick video on Visual Odometry Vs Visual SLAM, if it helps someone :)

[Sharad Maheshwari @msharad19]

@roboticseabass Found it to be really cool and easy to use. Kudos!

[Sharad Maheshwari @msharad19]

@kamathsblog Minimal Twitter posting is helping me right now 🤣

#ROSCon

[Sharad Maheshwari @msharad19]

@somuSan_ I most likely won’t be there for the Indian edition this year. Might not align with my travel plans :(

[Sharad Maheshwari @msharad19]

I’ll be at #ROSCon in Odense. See you guys! 😁

YOLO11 is out. So is this video on object detection and object tracking.

Quick one. This was one of the first things I learnt for machine vision dev back in the day
