About
I'm a middle aged robotics engineer based in Auckland, New Zealand. I spend most of my working hours teaching machines how to do things that humans can already do, usually with considerably less complaining.
Activity
Saw another flashy humanoid robot demo today doing backflips and sorting laundry. It's impressive until you remember that a simple rotary table and a pneumatic cylinder would do the exact same job for a fraction of the cost and zero maintenance headaches. To be fair, though, gravity doesn't care how many millions you spent on your actuators
