I'm thinking of resuming my series on the history of robotics, I still have ~20 unfinished draft posts from 2014 🥲

I thought this one about John Dee's mechanical beetle might be a good one for the month of October:

Hot off the press! 🔥 Our account is still new here on Bluesky, but those who have followed our project for a while will definitely recognize a number of the illustrations in The Robot Science Coloring Book!

At the turn of the century there was widespread concern about what would happen as industrialization replaced jobs that were previously done by hand. With similarities to how many are thinking about Al, the present doesn't appear to be an *exact* repeat of history

Roughly 10 years ago I went to see a talk featuring the futurist author Martin Ford. I wrote up some notes afterward and saved them as a blog post that I think has become more relevant given the types of technologies that are emerging now.

"the iron and steel industry accounts for around 7% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 11% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions"
My morning spent wondering if oak branches have an acceptable flexural-strength to cost ratio compared to metals and polymers.

Up next: built the robotic arm.

Roboverse: unified simulation + dataset + benchmarking that supports many different robotics simulators including nvidia omniverse. One step closer to robotics getting its mmlu, maybe.
