We’ve updated our open-source 7-DOF robotic arm simulation for ROS 2, Gazebo, and Isaac Sim, now available as a binary package for ROS 2 Humble! sudo apt update sudo apt install ros-humble-bcr-arm Done. Blog: blackcoffeerobotics.com/blog/bcr-arm-a… GitHub: github.com/blackcoffeerob…

Robots once followed rigid paths. Now they see and adapt. We break down perception techniques like RANSAC, YOLO, SAM2, VLAs and more, and how they power real projects from AMR docking to vision-guided welding. blackcoffeerobotics.com/blog/perceptio… #robotics #AI #perception #isaacsim #ros2

Robotics needs data, but collecting it in the real world is hard. We have been simulating deformable objects in Isaac Sim: cables, fruits, cloth and more. With diverse noisy data, models trained in sim can transfer to reality. #deformable #simulation #robotics #nvidia #ros

We're building simulations for robotics at scale! Mobile manipulator in a farm with uneven terrain, and simulated rain. Built using IsaacSim + our custom weather plugins to handle real-world edge cases. Develop, integrate, test, deploy. #robotics #simulation #nvidia


Simulating robot arms is now easy - Gazebo Fortress, Harmonic, or ISAAC sim - all with ROS2 support. Check it out!

Simulation should not be this hard! Meet bcr_arm, a 7DOF open-source arm platform built for ROS2, Gazebo, and Isaac Sim: blackcoffeerobotics.com/blog/bcr-arm-a… GitHub: github.com/blackcoffeerob… #ros2 #gazebo #isaacsim #robotics #arm #moveit2 #simulations #opensource



The number of SKUs and how I would go about implementing perception and grasping to empty the fridge with a robotic arm.

What is your first thought when you see this fridge?

Claude 4 just refactored my entire codebase in one call. 25 tool invocations. 3,000+ new lines. 12 brand new files. It modularized everything. Broke up monoliths. Cleaned up spaghetti. None of it worked. But boy was it beautiful.

Robots still struggle to generalize beyond narrow tasks. What if we could give them GPT-like flexibility? We explore how OpenVLA (an LLM for robotics) can unlock generalization in real-world tasks. Our blog: blackcoffeerobotics.com/blog/vision-la… #Robotics #simulations #Sim2Real #OpenVLA


Has anyone here procured and tested any of these units firsthand? How's been the experience? Built in modules and any custom applications (if there's room for it)

I asked Claude to call some LLM APIs without being specific, it uses @OpenAI . yeah, they aren't conscious.

I spent several days back in 2019 trying to use Robomaker, and then some more over the years. Never quite understood what it achieved despite the usual AWS jargon and what several product management type "experts" were saying at the time. Nice try, goodbye. #robotics #cloud
