We're thrilled to announce that the #Robotics & Simulation devroom is back at FOSDEM in 2027!
Watch this space for news of the CFP opening.

Im incredibly proud to see MAVLink-M named as a preferred standard in DDP 3, alongside @neros_tech APEX and sUPI.
Huge thanks to the working group and to the DDP team for betting on open standards.

Phase 3 of the Drone Dominance Program is live, and we’re raising the stakes once again, allocating $450 million toward roughly 60,000 drones. Awards will be split evenly across two mission sets, with an option to buy up to 40,000 more.
Deep Strike and Close Quarter Battle (CQB) mission sets return from Phase 2, with tougher scenarios and a faster pace. Both will be tested in GNSS- and comms-denied environments.

We’ve launched OpenCV Enterprise: Maintenance, qualified builds and engineering support for companies using OpenCV in production.
If your company needs this help, sign up: opencv.org/enterprise/
The OpenCV library remains free and open source, no changes to releases.

We have a huge news to share today!
Today we are unveiling the first truly accessible RL robot - welcome Microduck
A 25 cm tiny open-source biped with 15 actuators and packed with sensors (camera, speaker, LiDAR, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, etc) that you train yourself with reinforcement learning.
It's also playable out of the box with more than half a dozen fun and playful pre-trained policies to have it walk, sit, crouch, roller-skate, pick up objects with its articulated beak, and recover on its own.
And all for less than $400.
See all the details, play with the simulator and order it at: pollen-robotics.com/microduc…

Happy birthday Linux 👏
"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu)..."
On August 25, 1991, a 21-year-old student sent a message to a Usenet newsgroup. He thought he was just building something fun for himself.
35 years later, that "hobby" is the backbone of global technology:
🚀 Powering helicopters in space with NASA
☁️ Running the global cloud and 100% of the world’s supercomputers
📱 Connecting billions of people
🎮 Redefining the future of handheld gaming
What started as one student's side project became the greatest collaborative technology movement in history. Thank you to every maintainer, contributor, and advocate who made it possible.
Happy 35th Birthday, Linux. Here’s to the power of open source and the next 35 years of building together.

@Dronecode Foundation participants produced 7 working integrations using the MAVLink-Military dialect, verifying cross-vendor implementations across uncrewed platforms, payloads, flight controllers and ground control stations end to end.

Competing drone companies just proved they can solve interoperability faster in the open than any of them could do alone this week at the Dronecode Foundation MAVLink-M Integration Hackathon!

This is a day for history! We established together with @DeptofWar ‘s Drone Dominance team and leading players from industry the MAVLink-M payload standard with live strikes on our tank by different partners. MOSA is a theory until you put metal on the target and we did!
We had a bit of fun today at the last day of the MAVLink-M hackathon with @drlorenzmeier

Man who runs US drone factory (me) just closed fresh funding to build high performance AI drones. Senior EE, new grad EE, and Andriod engineers (kotlin) are urgently wanted. Order book is packed and our customers need new capabilities fast. (1/2)

Who else thought that surely we can build a fantastic abstraction around #mavlink?

There is no better use for a Mavic than to turn it into a target for an AI powered, fully autonomous interceptor.
🔗 The link from research to industry is short with PX4. The same stack runs in the lab and in production, so work moves forward instead of starting over.
