Alloy Lab Database — Personal Research Infrastructure

One place to record what was made, how, and what it measured — usable later as training data for machine learning.

First Voice-Triggered Autonomous Rollout

Say "hey brain" out loud, and a physically separate Pi runs the arm through a full autonomous pick-and-place — fully local, no cloud anywhere in the chain.

🎯 Interdisciplinary

Roadmap Stage 2: Mobility, SmolVLA & Voice Polishing

Stage 1's goal is achieved and closed. Three parallel threads now: a wheeled base (LeKiwi), a real language-conditioned policy (SmolVLA), and voice polishing.

Data science case study — Unsupervised Machine Learning

Automate playlist creation for a music startup using unsupervised clustering. Several real bugs and one finding that overturned its own headline conclusion mid-analysis.

Teaching a Robot Arm to See and Grasp

From a box of parts to fully autonomous pick-and-place — imitation learning with LeRobot, ACT, and a hard-won two-camera setup.

Data Poisoning on a Robot Arm: A Negative Result, Then a Working One

A text-trigger backdoor attempt revealed an architectural dead end — then a corrected, genuinely working visual backdoor confirmed the fix.
