#JAMR went out for its first test run tonight with a piece of wood for a plow blade. Manual control only for now. It pushed #snow for 45 minutes. Battery state unknown since I just updated #ROS2 to kilted kaiju. Not bad! It may actually be useful. JAMR = Just Another Multipurpose #Robot. #robotics #hudsonvalley

Adding LiDAR, IMU, GNSS… I thought more sensors would fix everything. It didn’t. Here’s what really matters in sensor systems.

Adding More Sensors Won’t Fix Your System—Here’s What I Learned the Hard Way - Machine Learning Site

I learned the hard way that adding more sensors doesn’t solve autonomy problems. Here’s why and what really matters in perception systems.

Believing that with enough sensors, you can eliminate all problems in your robotics application is a myth. It’s a linear mindset applied to a non-linear system.

That moment when you realize your robot wasn’t publishing because you sourced the wrong #ROS2 workspace... again.

Time for another #ROS video! In part 9, I cover launch files in both #Python and #XML. ROS 2 offers a slick launch system to handle spinning up your nodes (with parameters). Check it out!

This is how my robot vehicle ended up moving the first time I designed it in #ROS2 with dynamic parameters. This is some matrix level stuff lol.

Throwback to this blog where I defined a robot vehicle in #ROS2 using URDF. It's interesting that this very approach is also followed in developing a self-driving vehicle. The dimensions define the vehicle model which is then simulated under different dynamic conditions.
