In this blog post, I explain how I tried to figure out in which simulator I should invest some of my project development time. Little did I know of the very deep rabbit hole that presented itself, and I dived right in! Did it help me with my choice? A little, but perhaps I've created something that is even more useful: a best-of-list of robot simulators.
Enjoy!
This is on me... I didn't prepare Robbie enough that we will be testing in simulation today, so usually have to clear out some suspicion first. Gotta look at a simulator with higher fidelity and better physics.
Enjoy!
Hi! I've taken a couple of months off for a career break, but I'm finally ready for the next step... to start working for myself! Yes, you heard me correctly, I'm going to be self-employed 
! After talking to a couple of people who are already freelancing in the robotics, I'm pretty convinced that I want to go in this direction. So here's a blog post to explain a bit of my reasoning, my updated portfolio, and the kind of assignments I'll be looking for.
Enjoy!
At the European Robotics Forum they kept on talking about a humanoid robotic development strategy, but how about their companions huh!? They need some love and attention too!
Enjoy!
A Robbie dedicated to colorectal cancer awareness months and my latest blogpost. There is still robotics that can be actually do potentially good!
It's the end of colorectal awareness month of March 2025. Almost 2 years ago, I got diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer at just 33 years old. I've luckily (so far) seemed to have responded well on treatment, but since then I want to make you all aware. Early onset colorectal cancer is more and more common these days, and I had no idea. So here the story of me getting the first result at my colonoscopy, that I wished I read myself dealing with those initial symptoms. There are some details in there but it shouldn't be too TMI, but the subject might be tough.
Although robotics on Windows gets a bit easier, there is just one thing that is tough to get around on... and that's the firewall!
Enjoy!
This happens so many times! I think my prototype robot is using the camera coordinate system again... or am I wrong?
Enjoy!
Yes, I am a little bit mad. Why the hell do I torture myself to get development to work on Windows... well, I tried to trace back the journey for robotics development, where I desperately tried to hang on to Windows, but had to settle for a dual boot, only to slowly return to give development on Windows a chance again.
Enjoy! (I hope 
)
As a robotics developer I feel that now there is an unrealistic image of robots that must be met by modern society. Mobile robots are robots too!
Enjoy!
