Beam Bots

Last month the framework learned to take instructions through one door.

Last month the robot learned to show its working.

Last month the robot learned which way is up.

Last month I called it the calm before the goat.

It's been a quiet month for the core repos and a loud month for everything around them.

New month, new format.

A fortnight of shipping things that tick and saying things out loud.

Two quiet weeks from me.

No progress post last week — sometimes the interesting work is the kind that doesn't ship yet.

This one's a day late.

A quieter week on the code front, but we have news.

Some weeks you ship two feature releases and reorganise all the documentation.

Holiday's over.

Four new repositories in one week.

Robot arms don't just move to positions.

The headline this week: your robot can now check whether it's about to punch itself in the face.

What do you do when your robot parts are still in transit from China?

The WidowX-200 that Frank donated?

It's been six days since I announced Beam Bots, and things have moved faster than expected.

I've been working on something I'm excited to share: Beam Bots, a framework for building resilient robotics applications in Elixir.
