1/ I built an autonomous rover in my mom's basement completely from scratch.
chassis, drivetrain, PCBs, STM32 firmware, controls, inference, all of it.
In this demonstration, it’s controlled by a neural network, trained to push objects into a goal zone (like Ronaldo on wheels).
Here’s everything it took me to bring this rover to life:

This rover project was made possible with the support of the Electrical Lab at @mHUBChicago

11/ What's Next
This was an initial demonstration to prove I could build a robot capable of deploying a learned control policy in the physical world. I want to continue exploring this by:
1) Exploring more capable models (VLAs, RL)
2) Expanding FindBots capabilities, particularly its ability to manipulate and interact with the world (beyond pushing objects)
12/ What's Next (for me)
I graduate Systems Design Engineering at @UWaterloo this month!
DM me if you know any cool teams building in the robotics/Physical AI space that are looking to add engineers! I'm looking for cracked teams to continue building robots at full-time!
Read more about FindBot in the full blog I wrote about it: sohailsayed.com/findbot
My website got breached with fake captcha malware just 4 days after I tweeted about it LOL
make sure to keep ur nextjs up to date
Added Clippy to my personal site. If you dismiss him he cries (until u click on him again)

If ur going to symposium check out Peter's puzzle. Gotta warn you he's pretty good at foosball (but still can't beat me)
Planning to win the @socraticainfo Symposium Scavenger Hunt on the 21st? You might have to beat me in foosball first😈
Puzzles drop at noon on the 21st at PSE/E7 on uWaterloo campus. Sign up link below!
Presenting the greatest technical innovation to come out of Waterloo:
@nullpxl
free pizza pull up
pull up for session 7 next tuesday
there will be free pizza
