I have a bunch of new followers so we made this video to explain a bit more about me and bring you all up to speed:

This might be my new favorite paper - I've been kind of obsessed with these robots since seeing them at the Robotics Summit earlier this summer

Have you heard the news about caves on the Moon?
Re-analyzed data from our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter found evidence for a cave extending hundreds of feet from a lunar pit—and it may not be the only one: go.nasa.gov/4d7wwZQ
ALT Ten images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing a collection of pits detected on the Moon. The images are in a grid five images wide and two deep; each image covers an area about 728 feet wide, and has its name in small text in the upper-left corner.

Énorme découverte faite par Curiosity ! Le rover martien a trouvé des cristaux de soufre pur 🤯 C'est en brisant une roche avec ses roues début juin qu'il les a mis à jour.
Reste à expliquer comment ils se sont formés. De nouvelles pages de l'histoire martienne à décrypter !
*Cronch* I ran over a rock and found crystals inside!
It's pure sulfur. (And no, it doesn’t smell.) Elemental sulfur is something we’ve never seen before on Mars. We don't know much about these yellow crystals yet, but my team is excited to investigate. go.nasa.gov/4bPdSow
ALT A close-up photo taken by the Curiosity rover shows pure yellow sulfur crystals within a rock the robot drove over. Surrounding the yellow crystals is sandy and rust-colored Martian rock. Along the crack in the center are dull yellow crystalline pieces of elemental sulfur.

Liftoff! July 16, 1969, 13:32 UTC – 55 years ago today – #Apollo11 launched from Earth, bound for the Moon. Years of research, testing, development, and all prior programs and missions came together to generate this moment. Neil, Mike and I may have been atop the rocket – but the entire world was right there with us on the journey. God bless America!

THE MOON HAS CAVES?!
Scientists have made an astonishing discovery: a deep cave on the Moon, potentially over 100 meters in depth.
Located on Mare Tranquillitatis, the same spot where Apollo 11 landed, it was found using radar technology.
This cave formed millions or even billions of years ago and could be similar to volcanic caves on Earth.
A coordinator of the European Space Agency, Francesco Sauro:
“We have very good images of the surface - up to 25cm of resolution - we can see the Apollo landing sites - but we know nothing about what lies below the surface.
There are huge opportunities for discovery.”

I had some spare ST3215 motors (and time), so I built these amazing actuators designed by @lethic1 and they work so well! Once I have a use for them in a project, I'll probably get the gears printed from a professional 3D printing service...
Tragedy >For You<
Enjoyed @AlexIrpan’s “The Tragedies of Reality Are Coming for You”
The hard problems of robotics are not unique to robotics. In fact, as LLMs start to actually work and become widespread, they encounter more problems from the “messy reality” of the world.

Please, please, please listen to this.
I am so happy to have a journalist talking about the problems associated with MBAs and product managers taking over technology development.
Here's the latest episode of my @iHeartRadio/@coolzonemedia show Better Offline - part 1 of 2 part series about how Jack Welch of GE directly inspired the tech industry's low-R&D, layoff-heavy growth-at-all-costs Rot Economy.

Enormous Plasma Wall spotted on the Sun
The height of the plasma "wall" is comparable to the diameter of our planet.
