Pumped to have @earthtojake presenting Text to CAD tonight at Mission Robotics alongside DeepMind and CMU
in SF this week, dm if you’re around!
i’ll also be yapping about text-to-cad at @MissionRobotBay @SpaceFronClub tomorrow night
OpenAI be using my cadslop for their Reddit ads
(i am okay with this)
yeeeeeessssss !!!
STS3215 users are familar with the pain of setting motor IDs
looks like it's no longer a problem
What do you do when your robot actuators don’t have the feature you need?
Well, our team found a race condition bug, and turned it into the feature they needed.

very cool to see text-to-cad in the wild!
presented at claude’s singapore meetup today with the “brain massage pillow” i made with codex/claude and @earthtojake ‘s text-to-cad skill
thanks @rubanlah for hosting!!

this, but with sheet metal
OpenAI's @cdngdev predicts robotics will have its own version of the 3D printing craze, with people buying cheap, open-source robot arms and connecting them to agents.
"I can see a world quite soon where, similar to when everyone went and bought 3D printers and ran software, everyone's going to buy plastic, cheaper robot arms that you can clip onto a table, put stuff in front of, and plug them into agents."
"The price of classic robotics equipment is thousands of dollars at the moment. This arm I'm using here is a Hugging Face SO-100 robot, which is open source, fully 3D printable, and around $200."
"People can just pull up Codex and start controlling robots with it right now."

parasolid is not a moat
siemens, eat your heart out
CAD kernel now ships a complete model generation pipeline with over 10x greater runtime performance than the leading open source kernel, OCCT.
We rely on zero repair or tolerance heuristics whatsoever. All geometry is analytically certified.

Astra designed a tendon-driven robot hand

hard to express how awesome i find this!
i gave astra a robot, a paint brush, and a camera then asked it to paint the golden gate bridge in real life!
it figured out how to control the robot, and progressively got better throughout its attempts. the timelapse is sick

update: ran out of usage
have something crazy cooking in astra right now (running for 16 hrs and counting)

text-to-cad v0.5, just in time for Astra
- generate STEP, STL, GLB, 3MF, DXF files with code
- runs locally as a library of agent skills
- 100% open source and free
have fun mechies

one of the beautiful things about programmatic CAD and 3D design is more efficient expression:
the text-to-cad repo has ~10GB of demo models, but the python scripts that generate them are < 3MB.
e.g. this w16 engine model is only 12,000 lines of code:

this is completely insane, can't wait to try it
Astra is very good at 3D modeling, and I can't wait for all of you to experience it, for now here is a little walkthrough on how I built the demo house for our launch blog post. From a Blender scene to a Unreal Engine 5 walkable experience. 🧵
