Casually spotted: whose robot kid is running around the neighborhood — and bumping into trees?

Who let him out of the house 😭

🤣

A graduate research assistant just built a tool every roboticist using SolidWorks… will want to bookmark: This free, browser-based utility converts SolidWorks URDF exports into ROS 2 packages: no installs, no hassle. Built to save time for engineers and students working with ROS. What it offers ✅ Upload your URDF and mesh files ✅ Convert instantly to ROS 2 format ✅ Download a ready-to-use zip ✅ No ROS or setup needed Simple, useful, and built by someone who gets the struggle. Try it out and share your thoughts. Credit: this wonderful work is from Abhishek Chaudhari ! 💻 Try it now:

Adam's evolution from walking to grabbing and carrying. Now he's an office assistant.

Trash isn’t just trash anymore. 🗑️ With vision, sensors, and AI, waste becomes a sorting problem — and a real business opportunity. At @zenrobotics, robots aren’t just picking. They’re learning. After 15 years of development, their systems now sort everything from bulky construction debris to high-speed conveyor waste with near-perfect precision. The Heavy Picker handles large, awkward materials like stone and scrap. The Fast Picker operates at high speeds, ideal for lighter materials in material recovery facilities. And behind it all is ZenBrain — an AI trained on over 500 waste categories, making real-time decisions without a human in sight. In an industry where consistency is rare and safety is a constant challenge, this kind of robotic reliability isn’t just smart — it’s essential.
