Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to understand their bodies

A vision-based control system called Neural Jacobian Fields enables soft and rigid robots to learn self-supervised motion control using only a monocular camera. The system, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, combines 3D scene reconstruction with embodied representation and closed-loop control.

I built this feature. Gonna test it now for a couple of days I guess, before I'll release it :D

#Centaur V upper stages have been built using #automated laser arc welding 🤖. #SpaceX’s #Starship also employs this welding technique. #ULA will revert back to gas tungsten arc welding. Bruno says it’s a wider weld which can be more forgiving, even though it is done #manually 🖐️. During a test firing on 📆 June 30 one of the #BE4 engines exploded 💥 at a #BlueOrigin testing site. Full vehicle certification is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 📆 2024 https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/07/vulcan-centaur-anomalies/
