Ended up subscribing to anthropic this month, mainly to try out fable via the subscription. Was just using ChatGPT/Codex/Github-Copilot subscriptions before. Yann Lecun keeps talking about JEPA being better than LLM for modeling geometry, and problems that consider time. Recently been wondering if there’s a practical accessible model for machine/robot design (physical and/or firmware) type work like this.
Like the counter weights idea, wonder if the forces can be cabled to moving weights located near the base (side benefit of more stable base overall?). Then weight size/density doesn’t matter as much. Counter weight slides (like large cranes), or the counter weight cable leverage point?
Weights could be hanging jug(s) of water, heck… maybe dynamically pump water around to balance loads and minimize work motors need to do? “Hydraulic” based weights (cable attached) without actually needed to use high pressure hydraulics.
EDIT: struck out after reading your https://forum.v1e.com/t/robotic-arm/40158/2 post.
Curious to see what you and AI (Opus/Fable?) end up with!
