Robotics @programming.dev JoShmoe @programming.dev Anyone else watching Battlebots?
The previous two seasons were so far beyond any of the older seasons that I’m demanding you to watch seasons 6 and 7, before the world championship starts up again.
In the past, Battlebots was full of disappointing matches. The robots broke so quickly it was never really worth your time. Whenever they died, it was never obvious or interesting. Just one anti-climatic fight after another. That age ended with season 6, with 7 being even more impressive.
I think everyone needs to give combat robotics a second look.

Robotics @programming.dev hlfshell @programming.dev hlfshell.ai State of the art in LLMs + Robotics - 2023tldr I write about some of the more interesting works that shaped my understanding of applying LLMs for AI agents and robotic applications. Introduction What is this LLMs as a fad - a caveat Are LLMs actually going to be useful for robotics? Instruct based Benchmarking LLM basics n-shot and rea...
I was aiming to use LLMs with robotics in an upcoming project, and needed to first verse myself in what is the current must-know techniques in the space. To that end I read a ton of papers and wrote this article to try and suss out the best parts of current state of the art.
I hope this helps people; I'd be thrilled to discuss much of this as well!

Robotics @programming.dev hlfshell @programming.dev ChatGPT for Robotics: Design Principles and Model Abilities
I have argued for awhile now that the probabilistic nature of LLMs can represent a form of context that, when applied, can be utilized for robotic applications.
Seems I'm not the only one that had this idea. While simple, Microsoft researched applied a high level control library to demonstrate LLMs (ChatGPT) developing robotic task code.
