Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

I’ve been working on robotics for a few months now. I have built an arm, started receiving parts for my quadruped, and have learned enough RL to at least hold opinions on it (my background is ML/LLM training, so a bit different).

Eventual goal before I return to work next year is to have a robot I can take on walks with me that will pick up trash.

This sounds very cool. I too am exploring RL these days. Would you like to share more about your learning path@
