Engineering deep-dives for the people building Physical AI.
Eleven posts. Navigation, drive geometry, VLA++ multimodal fusion, Jetson Orin edge inference, and the data systems behind production robotics. Code, configs, and benchmarks where they matter.
From Design for Manufacturing to Design for Intelligent Automation
Manufacturing has always pushed constraints upstream into design. The next shift moves from designing for repetition to designing for variation — and for machines that perceive, adapt, and recover.
The Open-Source Motor Design Stack: From FEMM to FOC Firmware
A working engineer's tour of the free tools, reference designs, and community projects you can actually use to design, simulate, build, and control electric motors for robots and EVs — without a single proprietary license.
Building a Bot Economically: Mobile Robot Bases vs Powered Wheelchairs
If you're building a service robot, the cheapest path to a reliable mobile base is rarely the one labeled 'mobile base.' A walk through Clearpath, AgileX, Hello Robot, and Intermode pricing — then a side-by-side with the powered wheelchair industry that already solved most of the same problems for less.
