Building a robotics research setup that lives next to a desk
Published: July 14, 2026, 9:29 pm
Matthias Plappert at dfdx labs will spend the next several months doing independent research on robotic manipulation, and doing it in the open. I don’t expect the main output to be papers or an open-source codebase. What I care about here is the research log itself: what works, what fails, and what I learn from […]
An Advanced Nintendo Entertainment System
