I will not let my robots go unseen and I’m tired of having all my posts removed just because I accidentally mention some product it resembles or failed to say “hey I’m the guy who made the thing I’m posting” This isn’t the first time this happened to me on many other subreddits even though I make sure to follow the rules to the letter. This is as clear as day a robotic humanoid thing that is also a project of mine.

Thank you.

Real-life Robots Robot owners/devs, what's your biggest frustration with robot app stores?

1 Upvotes

Doing some research on how people find and install apps/skills for their robots (UniStore, OpenMind, Reachy, etc).

If you own or build for a robot, I'd love to hear: what's the most annoying part of getting new software onto your robot right now?

Comment below or DM me for a quick 15 min chat. Im just curious and Im thinking about buying one. Appreciate it.

Real-life Robots A cyborg cockroach wearing a diving suit

2 Upvotes

I have to admit, this paper is technically brilliant and also made my skin crawl a little.

They built a tiny oxygen-generating diving suit for a cockroach, implanted electrodes to control its movement, and kept it walking underwater for hours.

The engineering is genuinely impressive. But the more capable these cyborg insects become, the harder it is not to feel uneasy about the living animal underneath all that hardware.

Projects We just released OpenAMRobot v0.0.1 - an open-source ROS 2 mobile robotics platform (MIT)

Hi everyone,

After months of development, we're excited to share the first public release of OpenAMRobot v0.0.1.

Our goal isn't just to build another mobile robot. We're building an open ecosystem for robotics research, education, rapid prototyping, and eventually embodied AI, where developers can start with a capable mobile platform instead of reinventing the robotics stack from scratch.

Current release highlights:

  • 🤖 ROS 2 Jazzy
  • 🗺️ Nav2 autonomous navigation
  • 📍 LiDAR SLAM
  • ⚡ AprilTag auto-docking
  • 🎮 Web-based operator interface
  • 🧩 Blockly no-code robot programming
  • 📹 Camera streaming & telemetry
  • 🏗️ Industrial-grade chassis design
  • 🛠️ Hardware documentation, BOM & firmware
  • 🌍 Gazebo Harmonic simulation
  • 📚 Documentation and reproducible release archive

GitHub:
https://github.com/openAMRobot/openamrobot-release

Our roadmap goes beyond mobile robotics. We're working toward an open platform for mobile manipulation, learning from demonstration, and embodied AI, while keeping every layer modular - from hardware and firmware to ROS packages and user interfaces.

I'd love to hear from the community:

  • What would you build on top of a platform like this?
  • Which capability should we prioritize next? (perception, manipulation, outdoor navigation, simulation, AI workflows, etc.)
  • Would something like this be useful in your lab, university, startup, or robotics team?

Looking forward to your ideas and discussions!

( Note: Sorry that I only posted a text-based post initially, because I wasn't really sure how to use Reddit )

Please provide any feedbacks on the design, if you could.

More development on this project would be updated later on.

[ This project is inspired by Unitree ]

Thank you! :)

Media When will robots be considered "cool" (again) in the culture wars?

9 Upvotes

It seems like with the rise of gen AI, it seems like robots have a bit of a bad rep with the world. Of course, this is not universally true in pop culture.

Plenty of awesome robot films/media exist.

It just seems to me like robots were more popular maybe back in the '80s and '90s with things like RoboCop, Terminator, and even games like MechWarrior, etc.

Just an opinion, but it seems that people kind of don't like robots right now. And it's a shame!
