This is the index page for Ty the Typing Robot. It tracks my ongoing adventures through machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. It is a fairly in-depth series with lots of exploration and open source code.

In order of publication, here are the adventures of Ty:

• My Arms! They Are Here!: Planning my project and exploring TX2’s object identification

• The Sound of One Arm Tapping: Building the MeArm from a flat pack

• A Robot By Any Other Name: Breaking the project into pieces and goals

• Imagine A World of Robots: Exploring Robot Operating System

• On Cats and Typing: A status update on laser following and machine learning

• Completely Lacking Sense: Adding current monitoring to the motor control

• What’s Up With Ty: Trying to learning enough machine learning concepts to apply them to typing, adding YOLO to the TX2

• Pressing Buttons: Exploring end effectors and calibration problems due to using a $50 robotic arm

• Hand Waving and OpenCV: Using computer vision to solve calibration problems

• Typeypt - A Robot the Types and Teaches: A summary of progress so far as part of a contest entry.

• Seventeen Machine Learning Tools: A look at machine learning techniques and their applications.
