optimizes mechanical design files overnight
You design mechanical joints, write control algorithms, and troubleshoot hardware prototypes to improve robotic autonomy and movement.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically untangle a cable when the simulation ignores physics.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
