Hi I m curious and willing to pay to test drive Mazda Miata any model maybe after 2010~? near Santa Cruz just for a few hours. I searched up turo app and rental car company, but I couldn’t really find. Anyone can borrow that car for driving?(I have a car and just Mazda Miata is one of my dream car) ☺️☺️
I’m planning to work on an end-to-end manipulation / VLA project and wanted some opinions on the simulator + training stack.
Previously, I used a Unity-based simulator and trained an ACT policy with LeRobot. It worked reasonably well, but at the time I avoided Isaac Sim because it had too many unresolved bugs and stability issues. Now I’m reconsidering Isaac Sim again, especially for large-scale synthetic data generation.
My rough plan is:
- Use Isaac Sim locally or on cloud GPUs
- Spawn multiple robot arms/manipulators (maybe scaling from 1 up to dozens of environments)
- Run simple manipulation tasks like swipe/pick/place
- Use RL for exploration and task completion
- Collect camera observations + trajectories
- Train a VLA or vision-based policy from the collected data
I’d love feedback on:
- Recommended RL frameworks/models for manipulation
- Recommended VLA / visuomotor models
- Whether this pipeline makes sense overall
I’m also curious what people are currently using in practice for scalable manipulation training.
I visited the old bookstore thing next to Cowell(?) once last year, but haven’t checked out the new Bay Tree Campus Store near the entrance yet (I think that’s where it moved?).
How is it? Is it better than the old one? Can you share pics if yall have 😍😍 thank you
Mine is 2013 passat s and have no idea which blades I have to use. Searching result does not look like what previous owner put
