In der neuen Folge des Digital GreenTech Podcasts geht es auf die Felder. 🌾 Unkraut (bzw. Beikraut) jäten ist dort nicht mehr nur noch die Aufgabe von Menschen, sondern auch immer mehr die von Robotern. Dr. Sebastian Pütz, der mit seinem Team solche Agrarroboter entwickelt, spricht mit Moderatorin Linda Schwarz über die Gefahr von Monokulturen in der Landwirtschaft und wie ein Roboter mittels Laser dem Unkraut den Kampf ansagt.
Viel Spaß beim Zuhören! 👉 https://digitalgreentech.de/aktuelles/detail/podcast-episode-11-lasertechnik-statt-unkraut-jaeten-agrarroboter-im-einsatz

Podcast Episode 11: Lasertechnik statt Unkraut jäten – Agrarroboter im Einsatz

Bisher bekämpfen Landwirt*innen Unkraut (bzw. Beikraut) mit mechanischen Geräten oder chemischen Mitteln, die CO2 freisetzen oder den Boden belasten. Doch immer häufiger könnten bald schon Roboter, die mit Laserstrahlen arbeiten, das Unkraut präzise und umweltschonend vernichten. Wie diese Roboter trainiert werden und wie effizient ein Roboter auf dem Feld ist, dazu mehr in der neuen Folge des Digital GreenTech Podcasts.

@mre @ericseppanen Awesome! I actually wanted to suggest you talk to Matic about Rust in robotics and their very intersting product for an episode! I guess I don't have to write this email anymore! I'm looking forward to listening to this episode.

So, it's late March. Just over a week until #GooglePodcasts gets sunset! 🌇

If you are using Google Podcasts and haven't looked into alternatives yet: now is the time. If you want to give AntennaPod a try, here's a guide written by fellow fediverser @alecm:

Migrating from Google Podcasts to AntennaPod on Android

Like all fun Google applications, Google Podcasts is being axed and its function in this case is being rolled-over to YouTube Music, which I fear will mean less usability in (e.g.) cars, and even m…

As a #control #systems #engineer who works in #robotics, I sometimes see people blindly use a #PID controller design (without justification) and then attempt to tune it by trial-and-error. So, I made this little tutorial for my students: https://github.com/botprof/PID-101. Maybe others will find it useful too? There are lots of ways to tackle controller design, but I like this approach for cases when PID is the right choice.

If anyone is interested in contributing to a python open source project. Minari, a offline #reinforcementlearning dataset library has a lot of tasks available across the spectrum of difficulty and impact. We have good tasks for python beginners and good tasks for people who want to think about architectural problems. A discord link for our dev discord is linked in the repo, feel free to post in the Minari channel if you want to contribute! https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Minari/

Food for thought. A proposal on how to draw neural networks better

https://medium.com/@amaster_37400/please-stop-drawing-neural-networks-wrong-ffd02b67ad77

I sort of agree with the danger of leaving the bias inputs out. The diagrams are pretty. I feel like some of the notation could be a bit subtle to the untrained eye.

If you’re one of the millions of people who has tried to learn neural networks, odds are you’ve seen something like this: By which we mean confusing, incomplete, and probably wrong. The diagram…
