This article examines how GPUs enable sub‑millisecond control of magnetically actuated microrobot swarms by accelerating many‑body physics, swarm simulation, and reinforcement‑learning‑based navigation.
This article examines the importance of deterministic execution in robotics frameworks, where predictable timing and behavior are essential for safety, reliability, and performance. It discusses scheduling models, hard and soft real-time constraints, and the role of real-time operating systems in ensuring consistent control loop execution. Practical design strategies and trade-offs are explored to help engineers build robust, time-predictable robotic systems.
This post covers our PowerPlay project end-to-end: mechanical design, software architecture, autonomous & TeleOp strategies, performance metrics, lessons learned, and the roadmap ahead.
This post walks through our Freight Frenzy season codebase, from build setup and drive‐train calibration to MeepMeep path visualization and autonomous strategy; highlighting architecture, key features, test results, and future directions.
