I learned today that apparently... some people can't really smell durian And that I'm one of them. This is pretty crazy!

I've finished the S0-100 arm last week and I've compiled all the streams as a Lofi build video with some nice background music. Hope you like it! youtu.be/To5IaJ_1NLs #lofi #robotics

Time for me to go back into O3DE! I'll be trying out things with the physics engine and Lua scripting, and hoping to make a (sort-of) autonomous rolling ball! Still a newbie so let's see how far I get! 😄 www.twitch.tv/indierobot/s... #robotics #simulation

In 2 hours on Twitch I'll show nanoquadcopters fly in Gazebo Ionic and ROS 2 Kilted, on Windows 11 with WSL2, and Pixi for the native ROS2 install. See you there ? www.twitch.tv/indierobot/s... #ros #gazebo #robotics #aerialrobotics #simulation #windows #twitch

I don't listen to #dualipa 's music a lot, but I got major respect for her singing the famous Dutch song 'Bloed, Zweet and Tranen' (blood,sweat and tears) at her NL concert from the late André Hazes. Killer #karaoke song if anyone dares to try out a Dutch song for some reason

I was planning to do a twitch stream in 3 hours from now, where I try out to import a robot model into O3DE... but the situation is getting complicated 🐱😆 www.twitch.tv/indierobot/s... #robot #simulators #cats

I thought 80 simulators were a lot already, but in the last 2 weeks the best-of-robot-simulator list got an extra 30 projects added 😱 this might actually be too much 😅 github.com/knmcguire/be... #robotics #simulators

I started with the HBO series The Pitt. This is seriously the best medical series I've seen in a long time.

My new blogpost is about jumping into the robotic simulation investigation rabbit hole to choose the next framework to focus. But I was able to make a useful list! knmcguire.github.io/blog/2025/04... #robotics #simulation

Alright, so I've shared many of the Robbie comics here but the one about sim2real is going to be the last I'll share here. Just checkout my blog for any new ones if you like it (and you can subscribe to RSS there). I'm doing it just for fun anyway 😉https://knmcguire.github.io/blog/

This is on me... I didn't prepare Robbie well enough that we will be testing in simulation today, so usually have to clear out some suspicion first. Gotta look at a simulator with higher fidelity and better physics. knmcguire.github.io/blog/2025/04... #robotics #comic #simulation
A three-panel comic strip titled "ROBBIE RAMBOT: THE SIM2REAL GAP". The comic depicts a gray robot with red circular details on its head and a blue corrugated neck interacting with a bright green cube. Panel 1: The robot is instructed by an off-screen voice to "PICK UP THAT OBJECT," pointing towards a green perfect cube that has just appeared. The robot exclaims, "WOW! Panel 2: The robot responds with "NO WAY", IT JUST APPEARED OUT OF THIN AIR... AND IT FLOATS!"and then the offscreen voice says "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT." Panel 3: The robot looks hesitant, saying, "IT LOOKS A LITTLE TOO... PERFECT..." The off-screen voice insists, "JUST GRASP IT!"

I'll be trying out this robotics freelancing for a while. Let's see if I like it😆 #robotics #freelance knmcguire.github.io/blog/2025/04...

I've written a Weekly Robotics article about the European robotics forum in Stuttgart last week. Enjoy! t.co/bWS03WMhZV

At the European Robotics Forum they kept on talking about a humanoid robotic development strategy, but how about their companions huh!? They need some love and attention too! #ERF20205 #robotdogs #humor
A two-panel comic titled "Robbie Rambot: Still Not a Humanoid." In the first panel, a robot with a square head, red ear-like sides, and yellow teeth-like grill says, "I don't get why we robots need a label so desperately." Then, it adds, "I guess I don't have any choice but to reveal myself… again!" In the second panel, the same robot's full body is shown—it's a quadrupedal robot resembling a mechanical dog. It says "WOOF" and follows with, "Now get me my leash." The comic humorously reveals that although the robot dislikes labels, it actually resembles a robotic dog.]

A Robbie dedicated to colorectal cancer awareness months There is still potential for robotics that can be actually do good! #colorectalcancer #ECCAM2025 knmcguire.github.io/blog/2025/03...
Web comic with 3 panels with as title 'Robbie Rambot: going exploring'. In the first panel, the robot called robbie is in a glass capsule and says' They shrank me and put me in this capsule, so if you swallow and this pill... I can see and map your insides, to make sure it all still looks healthy. On the last panel robbie looks forward and says 'ALso, I get to judge your eating habbits cause... my god'

For colorectal cancer awareness month, I wrote the following blogpost telling the beginning of my diagnosis story at just 33. Early onset colorectal cancer is unfortunately getting more and more common. #ECCAM2025 #ColorectalCancer knmcguire.github.io/blog/2025/03...

Packing my bag, bringing my notebook, printing my night train ticket... #ERF2025 Stuttgart, here I come!

A social media picture for the European Robotics Forum, happening 25-27 March 2025 in Stuttgart. The picture is of Kimberly McGuire, a woman with dark blond hair and glasses, smiling. There is a speech bubble saying the following text I’ll be corresponding for Weekly Robotics so I hope to meet and talk to as many people and companies as I can to get a good feel of the Robotics community in Europe! See you there!'. This has been noted by 'Kimberly McGuire, PhD | Roboticist' which is the woman in the picture. There is a logo of the newsletter 'Weekly Robotics' and logos on the bottom of the ERF's sponsors and organization, University of Stuttgart, Cyber Valley, EU Robotics, European Robotics Forum, Fraunhofer, and a logo of the current edition of ERF2025
