Most likely my last post on Twitter, and my first post on BlueSky.

Coupling a 40 year old robot to one of the latest foundation models. Tomorrow we will present the results at the Belgian Dutch Artificial Intelligence Conference.

Thanks to the experienced engineers from @aldebaranrobots at the RoboCup, we could repair the LaserHead of our first Nao (from 2010!). It could accurately detect the wall 1m ahead of him.

This is how the poster sessions of the RoboCup Symposium look like. Thanks to the weather nicely outside.

The RoboCup Symposium is held in the Evoluon, which is a paradise for technology.

The audience for the semi-final of the Standard Platform League of RoboCup 2024

On the RoboCup a peek into the future is given on what the next generation of Nao robots (version 7) will over. Very excited about the increase of computing power and ToF sensors.

The location of the RoboCup Symposium was prominent in the background during the official opening ceremony by the deputy major of Eindhoven.

My robot Pepper had a good view on what happened at the Science Park last night.

So, for the first time I can participate in the tournament held in the Diamond League of Duolingo.

Never throw something away! In our lab we have a UMI-RTX robot which was bought 40 years ago (the time from Jimmy Saville as Doctor Magic).

Currently we are testing the RT-X models created by DeepMind. After some hard work the rubber band was gone, but we still had a spare!
