Making Hardware Simple

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@kinhhongtieuthu Thought about it, but it still needs a lot of work before production

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

I will be posting some of my older projects

3 years ago, I designed a wireless, solar-powered split keyboard. It only needs charging like once a year which is pretty cool

Now that I have a cnc im thinking of machining the casing out of aluminum

@micahsays Built 2 versions in about a year in my free time, surprisingly the hardest part was mechanical integration as each half has like 5 PCBs

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

By integration I mean integrating multiple hw components together. Today the robotics field is very disparate. You need to buy hardware from multiple manufacturers that all speak different protocols with no proper standard. We are building an ecosystem of building blocks for robotics

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

I'm a self-taught roboticist and in the past 10 years, I've worked on lunar rovers @Venturi, quadruped, bipedal robots and more

Now, Ive founded @coprod_Inc to solve one of robotics' hardest challenge: integration. If you're passionate about robotics or wanna talk about tech hmu

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@mklb88 @Venturi @coprod_Inc You can dm me!

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

That vibe-coding a demo once is good enough

In reality, field robots need diagnostics (logs, crashdumps, etc..), observability, error recovery, field updates and more that is often very much tied to the hardware you are working with (e.g. for firmware updates or safety certifications)

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

Personally, I don't look for any degree

I only look at past projects, and especially for students what enigneering projects they've spent their free time and money on outside of courses

I think this directly relates to their drive to build, which is what we look for at @coprod_Inc

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@oriolreverte16 @Venturi @coprod_Inc Hi Oriol, nice to hear the template has been working well for you! Hope we can meet too

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@TharuK922 @Venturi @coprod_Inc Find a small project to start, maybe join the local robotics club if there is one :)

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@ErenChenAI This is the optimal running stance

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@mathildeanita @breckyunits Nothing is cooler than the garage

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@CalvinGrunewald @Venturi @coprod_Inc Starting projects! But which project to do depends very much on the budget and time. I recommend joining a robottics club, maybe participating in competitions if you're still a student :)

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@BobbyKuzma @Venturi @coprod_Inc This is what makes robotics so interesting imo, it goes very deep in so many fields

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@crypto_pawan @Venturi @coprod_Inc Sure!

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@jhestolano @Venturi @coprod_Inc We are working on motor controllers right now so interested yes! It's such a big rabbit hole

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@Neel_Tr @Venturi @coprod_Inc Sure, happy to talk

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@YitzyMytelka @Venturi @coprod_Inc Happy to talk!

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@techrealist @Venturi @coprod_Inc I really feel like a boomer, didn't know about direct messages on X so just enabled them. Feel free to dm me!

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@glowcone This looks fun

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@mathildeanita @BigChick3nDinna Haha maybe we should

[Vincent Nguyen @vincentslab]

@techrealist @Venturi @coprod_Inc Would be cool yes!
