About ExplorRobo

ExplorRobo is a publication about robotics, Physical AI, and the engineering that makes machines move, see, and act in the real world.

The goal is simple: be a useful starting point for anyone who wants to understand, build or follow modern robots. That means technical context, primary sources, and explanations you cannot get from reading headlines.

Topics we cover

• Robots humanoids, quadrupeds, robot arms, mobile robots, drones, industrial and service robots
• AI for robotics Physical AI, embodied AI, vision-language-action models, imitation and reinforcement learning, robot foundation models
• Robot development ROS 2, MoveIt 2, Nav2, SLAM, motion planning, perception, control, sensor fusion
• Hardware NVIDIA Jetson, actuators, motors, servos, cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, force sensors, robot controllers
• Simulation NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, Webots, PyBullet, digital twins, synthetic data, sim-to-real
• Research papers, datasets, benchmarks and results from ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL and the labs behind them

How we work

Primary sources come first: company announcements, official documentation, GitHub repositories, papers and conference material. Every claim in a story links to something you can check. Specs are quoted from the manufacturer, never invented. If something cannot be verified, we say so or leave it out.

News is reported with context rather than as a headline list. Guides are maintained as reference material and updated as the tooling changes.

Who's behind this?

Hi, I'm Toni, an engineer who has spent years working on robotics research and real-time systems. ExplorRobo is where I write down what I learn about the machines, the software and the models behind modern robotics.
