I’m helping build it too and would love any thoughts out there!

Who else is into consumer robotics?

Synthesis AI | https://synthesis.ai/ | REMOTE (US timezones) | Full-time | Sales Engineers, Backend Engineers

We're hiring for sales engineers (junior welcomed!) and senior backend engineers. We're a VC-funded startup generating large amounts (hundreds of terabytes) of data for companies doing computer vision machine learning. We reduce our customers' need for collecting real data by 10x. Our customers are some of the big name tech companies and automotive companies, and startups too.

Tech stack: Python, Golang, React, AWS (SQS, S3, EC2, EFS, RDS, Kubernetes, Pulumi, more)

Synthesis AI | REMOTE | Contract to FT | Javascript engineer | San Francisco | https://synthesis.ai/

We generate terabytes of data for computer vision via a simple API, enabling the programmatic generation of millions of images with pixel-perfect labels to help you build new, better, and more balanced AI.

Our enterprise customers need a GUI to build and validate requests to our API, and that's who we're looking to hire! Mostly in-browser javascript, with some Node.js.

Curious about your use case! Do you want to setup your own warehouse for you and your own friends? Or use the existing Yoga warehouse and get your own personal Greppy on it that only a subset of people can share? Or something else?

I would love to understand how the whole thing works actually and how it can be configured/updated. Surely this approach can be adapted to smaller robots? It's more of a curiosity question since I love to tinker with robots and am looking for a good way to make them better. Apart from didactic purposes I don't have a really specific use case yet. :)

Yoga is a language as well as an environment, so if the robot has an open controller where a compiled program can be installed, it will work!

What robot did you want to tinker with

That's what the googley eyes are for! Ideally, this isn't the only "greppy" design (:

Okay I'm 100% biased, but this is something I've enjoyed working with as well. It's made developing a self-balancing greppy super easy :)

My whole perspective changed greatly when I started to define success to be focused on what I want to be true about how I spent my time each day (e.g. on something I was truly passionate about), rather than an outcome like some financial event or some position.

Of course, it took me years to figure out what I would be passionate about doing that I would also earn a living off of!

Not more expensive than high power servo-motors! Hard to get low-RPM and position control from most drone motor controllers for robotics. I think it's mostly just different use-cases :)
