RVers have two main options for solar charging: vehicle rooftop panels that are hassle-free but rarely in optimal position, and deployable ground systems that can be more precisely positioned throughout the day but demand more attention and manual work. California startup Roboteos has a third idea in mind, launching a rooftop solar charging system that automatically deploys and tracks the sun thr
DrEureka, a new open-source software package that anyone can play with, is used to train robots to perform real-world tasks using Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT 4. It's a "sim-to-reality" system, meaning it teaches the robots in a virtual environment using simulated physics, before implementing them in meatspace.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: GPT, Robots, Robotics, Artifi
