Robotics Software Engineer who loves to play with expensive toys. PhD finished, yay! Python rules! And ROS is awesome!

I gave a lightning talk in #ROSCON 2025 showing a cool shebang trick to use #pixi and Cppyy to run self contained python scripts that call C++ code. Find the examples in that I called Pixibang: github.com/awesomebytes/p…

The only reason vibe coding exists and works (up to where it works) is thanks to the high quality (and quantity!) open source projects in the world. Just a little reminder to love open source (and if you can give back or contribute) :)


I made a thingo, frustrated by downloading images and being in webp format which can't be processed by a lot of programs, I made a little JS client-side image converter (to/from WEBP/JPG/PNG). Maybe someone else finds it useful awesomebytes.github.io/webp_converter…

See this post. Summer internships in GPT and OpenCV and in NeRF. Must register with Google (no obligations) by this Monday, by 9pm Pacific time. See the linked in post. linkedin.com/posts/activity…


Awaiting for @facontidavide to be awake to maybe see my PRs (github.com/facontidavide/…) for #PlotJuggler to allow starting it skipping dialogs and plot live straightaway from the command line or a launchfile. Sorry for the hack!

"cat", short for "C++ Analysis Tool", is a command line utility designed for analyzing a C++ program and displaying which lines of code are potentially unsafe Example:

Sharing my new ROS package: github.com/awesomebytes/r… which allows to embed any window (like Rviz!) as a rqt plugin. Also posted on the #ROS discourse: discourse.ros.org/t/new-ros1-pac…


Hey @facontidavide I just discovered that #PlotJuggler can autostart a live streaming of ROS topics from a layout file (that was created in that way). Is there any place I can PR a little tutorial on how to do that? It is very useful!
