I like to tinker

Still playing with #robots

@observie Awesome, I look forward to watching your progress!
Am in the planning stages of a traditional-layout hexapod robot using this type of motor. Exciting times for hardware

@audrow Check out the Leo Rover

@goods_savage8 I see an email notification for your message, but it's not showing up in my inbox. Going to do some more digging and see if I can find it..

#3dscanning some parts so that I can design and machine an upgrade for the #packbot.

@goods_savage8 @AESUB_Scanspray @serdar Didn't see my notifications. Sorry.
I've actually got several packbots. If you're wanting to build a rover, I have a packbot explorer model that might work well for you.

Brand new GPD Win Max 2 6800u delivered today. Within 15min I had it dual booting into #Ubuntu and #ros2 installed.
I think it will make a fine robot controller.

It's a upgrade to ROS2 kinda day.

@RobotPolicy Under the right circumstances and with the right policies/procedures in place, I'm not opposed to it.
It is an interesting discussion

[Tim Mills @Parametric_Tim]

@RoverTenacity This one is a kit called the Jethexa Advanced.
It's actually a really great platform for exploring ROS

Doing a dance after mapping out the shop tonight

@DavesArmoury @IndustryUAVs So it's got some power then huh. Hadn't seen one in operation.

[Tim Mills @Parametric_Tim]

@helengreiner @NASAMars @MarsOpportunity @SelfAwareROOMBA We watched this earlier tonight and it was excellent 👍👍

[Tim Mills @Parametric_Tim]

@RobotPolicy @MLNow I should clarify that my opinion is limited to teleoperated robots/drones only.

[Tim Mills @Parametric_Tim]

@RobotPolicy @MLNow I'm not opposed to it, but I do think that there needs to be oversight and policies/procedures in place.
As much as I love these machines, I'd rather see a robot get shot up than a police officer or soldier.

[Tim Mills @Parametric_Tim]

@RobotPolicy @MLNow I've been thinking about this a lot lately, as I've read a few other articles pertaining to lethal force used by robots/drones in military operations.
I understand both sides.. Pertaining to the police operation, I think it's effective use would be in a very rare situation.

Impressive Space Lab. And everything in #ROS or #ROS2

[Tim Mills @Parametric_Tim]

@AndreaGavazzi Perhaps you just need to balance it out with a small manipulator arm then 🤔
That might be a great look for the Leo

[Tim Mills @Parametric_Tim]

Come on @elonmusk! We had usb-c before it was cool
