#Introduction time! 👋 I am an #engineering #professor at Queen's University in Kingston, #Canada. My expertise is in field and mobile #robotics. I have a newish interest in applications of #machinelearning to #control and #navigation problems. Previously worked as an #engineer at #space #robotics firm MDA. Also currently serve as Director at the Ingenuity Labs Research Institute. My #math #teacher wife and I have three #kids and we enjoy #golf.

@RamenCatholic I hadn’t written in a long time but a few months back got into it just by simply starting a serialised story on my blog. Just needing to have another post ready to go the next day kept me going for a good two weeks … and then I slipped and haven’t written again for a while 😛

Hoping to try that again here by doing a story post once a week and see how it goes. Wrote the first instalment yesterday actually but haven’t published it yet. Possibly sometime this week and then I’ll see how it goes …

I don't see a whole lot of aerial robots, mobile robots, or even autonomous cars on here. There anyone I should be following?

Hi! 👋
I've recently migrated to DataSci instance, so it's time for a new introduction:

I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm a linguist doing a PhD in Education in the University of Buenos Aires. I'm a #rstats enthusiast and I've recently started to learn #python.

I have a blog where I write about code, generative art, and education, mostly in Spanish but trying to keep it bilingual: https://macarenaquiroga.netlify.app/

I love creating fantasy flowers like this bejewelled iris with an amethyst embedded in its petals.

'Sup.

@Triflingtree It seems so sad … Is that what the AI has distilled from all of the images of children? And if yes, what does that say about us?

@DaNanner We’ve heard Osman mention the book on one of his shows (“Richard Osman’s House of Games”) but didn’t really check it out since (at least I) figured that it probably was another celebrity cashing on on their fame to write a book 😛

But given your reaction, I might try to find the books and see if I can maybe get into them … Not that I’ve had the attention span to read in a few years, but who knows, the right book might do it. Or so I keep hoping ….

Dear #WritingCommunity
Is there a #Mastodon fiction #writing prompt I can join? Would love some recommendations.

I'm currently still burned out & a tad phobic about touching fiction, so I thought being a part of a prompt would be a gentle way to reintroduce #fiction writing into my life again.
