Yup, BD is doing amazing things in the hardware space, though obviously still loads of planning & SW involved in their robot. One of their engineers gave a talk at my campus last semester, crazy what they are doing now with pushing the limits on topological optimisation, printing components including metal etc to push weight down and strength up.

In the article I focus mostly on the software aspects b/c it's more accessible when getting started if you aren't in grad school (+ what I have most experience with).

Hi, I didn't know you were the OP of the article. If you're interested in adding a Books section in the future, you may want to include Robotics: Modelling, Planning and Control by Bruno Siciliano, an all-time classic reading in most introductory robotics university courses.
Thanks for the tip, will check it.
