A creator built a 16-DOF humanoid robot using low-cost servos and 3D-printed parts, working on bipedal locomotion algorithms.

This draw io diagram summarizes the perception pipeline I'm building for robotic object localization: - Capture real RGB-D data with an eye-in-hand camera setup. - Bootstrap a small labeled dataset - Fine-tune a YOLO-Seg model - Generate assisted labels for additional real captures - Compose synthetic RGB-D views using masks, depth, camera intrinsics and in-painted backgrounds. - Retrain the segmentation model with the expanded dataset - Input 2D masks, classes and confidences into 3D using depth and camera intrinsics - Extract 3D object localization outputs usable for robotic tasks

The author describes a personal Python simulation project involving Lidar SLAM, with a robot spinning a sensor and receiving distance data, illustrating issues with accuracy at different distances.

Unlike previous editions of IROS/ICRA, there seems to be no IEEE RAS travel grant on the IROS 2026 website this time, the only grant available is the IES-SYPA grant for upto 15 people. Is this not really less compared to any previous editions? submitted by /u/sarthaxbeatz [link] [comments]
