March 2026 • Robotics • Kinematics
A practical exploration of forward kinematics in real robotic arms, and why singular regions often hide slow failures rather than obvious breakdowns.
January 2026 • Vision • Calibration
Notes from iterating camera calibration routines with ArUco and checkerboards — where assumptions silently cause coordinate drift.
December 2025 • Robotics • Inverse Kinematics
Thoughts on conditioning, regularization, and why some inverse kinematics implementations work in theory but fail in practice.
November 2025 • Vision • Depth Estimation
An experiment with MiDaS and pose pipelines, with observations on consistency and the limits of monocular depth in robotics.
October 2025 • Controls • Systems
A reflective write-up on robust control, model assumptions, and why ignoring small noise sources often leads to big surprises.
