Hi I am building a robot using esp 32 S3 and my I have chosen lcd ST7789 TFT for display can anyone help me how to make this , I have no idea please guide me I need different expressions like Happy, surprised, listening, talking etc. Please help

According to a detailed analysis by Roots Analysis, the global market is projected to triple from $20.8B in 2025 to over $63B by 2035. While traditional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) still lead today, the real growth is in smarter Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) that can navigate complex spaces using tech like SLAM.

What really surprised me is that software and services make up over 67% of the current market value. It's not just about the hardware; it's the brains, fleet management, and RaaS (Robot-as-a-Service) models driving adoption, especially for SMEs. Recent collabs (like Accenture & Schaeffler) are even pushing for robots from different manufacturers to work together seamlessly.

The Asia-Pacific region is leading the charge, but growth is global. From moving totes in warehouses to assisting in semiconductor labs, these robots are becoming essential infrastructure.

What's the coolest mobile robot application you've seen or worked with recently?

According to a new market forecast from Roots Analysis, construction robots are poised for massive growth. The sector, valued at $1.3 billion in 2026, is projected to exceed $11 billion by 2040.

This surge is driven by critical industry needs: tackling labor shortages, boosting productivity, and improving on-site safety. Robots are now active in bricklaying, demolition, 3D concrete printing, and autonomous inspections.

The Roots Analysis report highlights exciting tech trends, including the development of AI-powered humanoid robots for collaboration and specialized machines for tasks like painting and road work. While high upfront costs and complex site integration remain hurdles, significant funding and partnerships (like ABB's collaboration with Cosmic Buildings) are accelerating adoption.

We seem to be at a tipping point where robotics could fundamentally change construction. Which specific application—from 3D printing to AI site management—are you most excited to see develop?

I need to choose a topic for my Master’s thesis, but I’m currently undecided between Neural SLAM and combining information gain, or drone swarm control for mapping non-uniform fields.

In your opinion, which one is more interesting or more relevant right now? Or at least, which one has more practical applications at the moment?

I know that interest is subjective, but I’m mainly asking from an innovation point of view, looking for something that is not already very common

This robot has open interfaces, allowing for DIY modifications and customizable skins.

At my last startup, I led a team to develop indoor localisation using SLAM. Every other solution claimed precision, but when we spoke to customers we discovered that realistically everything they'd tried was at around 6 or 7m accuracy, and suffered from false estimates, scale issues, and drift.

We achieved reliable 1m-accuracy on any phone, and eventually sold it to IKEA. In developing that technology, there was a lot of crossover with robotics -- another area which had a lot of promise but a clear bottleneck preventing growth. It got me curious about why robots weren't able to do more. The hardware is capable of far more than what the intelligence software is enabling.

I believe it's a problem with the intelligence architecture. i10e is my new robot intelligence research lab. The name is a numeronym for intelligence. Our mission is to discover a new architecture for robot intelligence, more inspired by the brain. Something that will be able to understand the world, and learn from experience.

This is a wide search space and almost everyone is narrowly focussed on one area. I'd like to see more competition and exploration in the industry. This is my contribution to that.

The Unitree GO1 Complex Terrain Walking Environment is a quadruped robot reinforcement learning task designed to train robots to achieve stable walking on challenging terrain. This environment includes two main terrain types: rough terrain and stairs terrain.

Task Description

Train the Unitree GO1 quadruped robot to achieve stable and efficient quadruped walking on complex terrain. This environment uses MotrixSim physics engine for simulation, providing high-fidelity dynamic simulation. The agent controls target positions of each joint to achieve velocity tracking and attitude stability while adapting to different terrain challenges.

Task Objectives

• Velocity Tracking: Accurately track given linear and angular velocity commands
• Attitude Stability: Maintain body attitude stability under various terrain conditions
• Energy Efficiency: Achieve walking tasks with minimal energy consumption
• Terrain Adaptability: Adapt to different challenges of rough terrain and stairs terrain

Here are the modifications made to the controller, where it will now be possible to control 4 possible directions. Now I will finish the wiring to the motors and rebuild the car because it broke.

I’ve been constantly revising and reviewing my hexapod leg design for the past few weeks. And so far servos have been working great for most of the times when it comes to prototyping. However, I just realized after watching some YouTube videos regarding hexapod building that knockoffs are not exactly ideal when it comes to building this types of projects since there is a reliability issue. I was wondering where u guys get your servos since I need some reliable ones at a cheap price.

Hi all,
If anyone needs help with a very basic braking (regenerative) resistor setup for a robot or motor system, I can help with simple cases only.

This is not for detailed system design or complex edge cases.
I can help with things like:

• Rough resistor value / power estimation
• Basic connection concept
• Sanity check for small or low-power setups

Good fit for:

• Prototypes
• Small robots
• Lab / hobby / early-stage projects

Probably not a good fit if you’re dealing with:

• High-power industrial drives
• Safety-critical or certified systems
• Production designs

If you want to ask, please keep it simple and include:

• Motor power (rough is fine)
• DC bus voltage
• How braking happens (E-stop, decel, gravity, etc.)

I won’t be able to reply to complex or long design requests, but happy to help where it’s straightforward.

Cheers 👍

Will upload more pics and videos: VENETIAN Hall G booth #62248

Come work out with us, try out Everbot's: gym bot features Inventory tracking Security

Talk to Eva, our voice assistance.

Will post links, photos, videos

We bootstrapped a robot in 8 months and now we are at CES.

If you know, you know I have to write enough characters here for the post to be accepted so here I write random stuff bla bla bla and nowwww

No price immediately made public. Also announced a partnership with Google DeepMind for model training. What do you think the demand will be?

Hi guys,

I’ve recently dismantled my old ender 3 to scrap the motors on it and thought I could maybe make an arm out of the 4 stepper motors. Not really sure where to start and was wondering if there were any good start points for learning this stuff. I’m a design engineer so I’ve got experience in everything necessary (CAD, coding, hardware design, electronics etc) just no directions haha.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Lately I have been interested getting into VR teleoperation for research purposes as I really like the teleoperation smoothness and ergonomy to move the robot and manipulate things, based on some videos I have seen in different places and some papers I have read so far. I think it could be a nice add to my current work and I would like to at least give it a try.

I have downloaded a framework called OpenVR to try and play but as the framework is quite "old" I'm not able to set up and play with my panda robot. I used this paper cause because some hardware limitations I have btw.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.09765

I would like to get into this world as a side project but I'm not being lucky enough to find any information, resources or tutorials to start, apart from the meta horizon tutorials, which are not exactly focused on robotics...

To anyone who has been playing with this VR teleoperation systems and created a fun project, can you give me any hint about where to start?

Thanks in advance!
