Google Gemini Thinks It Knows ROS Secrets

In July 2022, Clearpath published a video of a #TurtleBot4 delivering donuts.

Try as I might I could not get my TB5-WaLI to reliably deliver donuts, until I asked Google Gemini for help.

It solved my navigation reliability problems, but when I asked about the donut delivery video it confidently gave me some bad advice.

No Donut Delivery To Google!

Years Asking - #ROS Issue Finally Solved

For years I have asked every human that would listen, why my ROS nodes complain about a shutdown exception. (And I mean **yeeeeeears**. )

Finally asking #GoogleGemini has shown the pattern that should have been in the ROS tutorials all along.

(I have a feeling the "if rclpy.ok():" is actually all that is needed. Have not tested sufficiently yet.)

Oh no, my #ROS2Jazzy #robot discovered #MoonDream #VisionAssistant (v0.0.6 with local model #Python API) and found an image of "a bunch of models enjoying each others company sitting on a ledge" in its filesystem.

I hope it doesn't go all obsessive and start googling them.

Certainly not letting it near social media.

#TurtleBot4

Amazon "recalled" lots of Astro Business Robots.

It would really be great if #Amazon would add a high-level #ROS2Jazzy node to the #Astro #robot

I'm sure those used Astro robots would be in high demand by the ROS community.
