Machines that move and sometimes fall over.
About this space
Machines that move, and the gap between a simulation and an actual floor. Control loops, sensor fusion, SLAM, manipulation, and the unglamorous work of making a robot fail safely. Videos of things falling over are a contribution, not an embarrassment.
