Ask HN: Who works in (mobile) robotics on HN?

-What do you do, where (if you can say) -How's your experience been -What journals do you read (if any)

I lead research on humanoid robotics, specifically on novel exoskeletons for SCI patients. I mostly work in chassis/actuator design, and recently have been getting into some more nuanced fields of machine learning... I can't really say what i'm doing/where publicly .

I have been extremely frustrated with my field (humanoid robotics) so far. I just feel like research is trying to brute-force realistic kinematics from the entirely wrong approach/direction... My research is opposite theirs in most regards, so I have a bias. But I also believed the same assumptions and theories when I started.

I suppose to summarize my feelings concisely, I'm disappointed/upset that the field is so stagnant. --- I'm curious to see who on HN actually works with robotics in hardware/software side, and if anyone would be interested in starting like an email group to talk about new papers or such. I think we're a pretty underrepresented group, and I'd love to see if its actually a group or just me.
