Why Do Performance Benchmarks Matter?
Hi there, little friend! 👋
Imagine you have two super cool race cars 🚗💨. One is red, and one is blue. You want to know which one is the fastest!
"Benchmarks" are like a special race track where both cars zoom! 🏁 We see which car gets to the finish line first, or how many laps they can do.
This helps us know which car is super-duper fast and strong! 🚀 It's like asking, "Which robot friend can build the tallest tower the quickest?" It helps us pick the best one for the job! Yay! 🎉

FSUNav: A Cerebrum-Cerebellum Architecture for Fast, Safe, and Universal Zero-Shot Goal-Oriented Navigation
arXiv:2604.03139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current vision-language navigation methods face substantial bottlenecks regarding heterogeneous robot compatibility, real-time performance, and navigation safety. Furthermore, they struggle to support open-vocabulary semantic generalization and multimodal task inputs. To address these challenges, this paper proposes FSUNav: a Cerebrum-Cerebellum architecture for fast, safe, and universal zero-shot goal-oriented navigation, which innovatively integrates vision-language models (VLMs) with the proposed architecture. The cerebellum module, a high-frequency end-to-end module, develops a universal local planner based on deep reinforcement learning, enabling unified navigation across heterogeneous platforms (e.g., humanoid, quadruped, wheeled robots
An Open-Source LiDAR and Monocular Off-Road Autonomous Navigation Stack
arXiv:2604.03096v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Off-road autonomous navigation demands reliable 3D perception for robust obstacle detection in challenging unstructured terrain. While LiDAR is accurate, it is costly and power-intensive. Monocular depth estimation using foundation models offers a lightweight alternative, but its integration into outdoor navigation stacks remains underexplored. We present an open-source off-road navigation stack supporting both LiDAR and monocular 3D perception without task-specific training. For the monocular setup, we combine zero-shot depth prediction (Depth Anything V2) with metric depth rescaling using sparse SLAM measurements (VINS-Mono). Two key enhancements improve robustness: edge-masking to reduce obstacle hallucination and temporal smoothing to mit
I Built 3 APIs for Turkey’s Used-Car Market with Apify
Turkey’s used-car market is massive, fragmented, and surprisingly hard to work with if you want structured data. Listings live across marketplaces, dealer pages are inconsistent, pricing changes fast, and even simple questions like “What is this car worth?” or “Which dealers dominate Istanbul for this brand?” are harder than they should be. So I built three focused APIs on top of Apify to solve different layers of the problem: A listing extraction API for Arabam A valuation API for Arabam + Sahibinden A dealer intelligence API for Arabam + Sahibinden All three are built for developers, analysts, insurers, lenders, marketplaces, and automotive businesses that need clean Turkish vehicle data instead of brittle scraping scripts. 1. Arabam.com Vehicle Scraper API The first API is the raw data
