But I get it! "HF1" is difficult to recall. HF1 stands for "Hotdog Fernando 1". Hotdog Fernando is the name my then-6-year-old son gave to the little project that started this bigger ambition. I immediately fell in love with that \[...\] "Fernando", "Hotdog 1", "Hotdog Roberto", "HR1", ... The robot's \[...\] To… ## [Aiming at the best robot developer experience](https://ignaciomellado.es:443/blog/Coding-my-robots-software-system) _2026-05-17 · uavster's blog_ Good hardware is nothing without good software, so I’ve been heads down coding a module system that will ship with the robot. There’s motion, speech, camera, behavior, bridge… Each module \[...\] Motion is the gateway to the robot’s hardware via a ROS2 interface. It lets you create trajectories for the robot’s mobile base, the head and even the RGB LED. The module is a… ## [HF1: End of 2025 Recap](https://ignaciomellado.es:443/blog/HF1-End-of-2025-recap) _2025-12-31 · uavster's blog_ As we say goodbye to another year, I wanted to recap the progress of the HF1 robot project with you. The project has come a long way from last year’s proof of concept. We now have a robot that can be serially produced, and availability of the first batch is expected by the first half of 2026. I understand this new release date might come as a disappointment to some of you, as I previously… ## [HF1: End of 2024 Recap](https://ignaciomellado.es:443/blog/HF1-End-of-2024-Recap) _2025-01-09 · uavster's blog_ As the year reaches its end, I wanted to share with everyone what the HF1 project accomplished in 2024 and what to expect in 2025. Every sign of support is one more push for HF1 to become a real product. If you joined the waitlist, talked about HF1, liked or reposted my posts, thank you. One of my New Year's resolutions is making HF1 a learning experience around a DIY kit. If you want that too,… ## [How to get into robotics if you are a CS major](https://ignaciomellado.es:443/blog/How-to-get-into-robotics-if-you-are-a-CS-major) _2024-10-29 · uavster's blog_ I was recently asked by a Computer Science (CS) major about a good roadmap to get into robotics. This is was my response, in case it can help someone else: My approach to learning is normally by making. If that’s the case for you too, the best way to learn to make your own robot is starting to make your own robot. That should be the forcing function \[...\] Linear algebra: to express locations…
