Getting out of the way: my robotics crash course
Summary
A personal blog post detailing a hands-on robotics crash course where the author builds and hooks up a LeRobot SO-101 arm to an embedded Raspberry Pi, guided by LLMs (Codex and Claude). It covers the hardware setup, calibration attempts with AprilTags, and iterative AI-assisted control challenges, along with plans to pursue VLAs and a Jenga tower project.
