Ask AI to Read Your Robot’s Logs: ROSBag MCP Server

Kari Jaaskelainen

06 Nov 2025 — 1 min read

Robots generate huge logs. This open‑source ROSBag MCP Server lets you ask an AI to analyze ROS/ROS 2 bag files in plain English—no custom scripts. It plugs into Model Context Protocol (MCP), so assistants can call purpose-built tools for robot data. Great for debugging, teaching, and research in agentic, embodied AI.

Understands trajectories, laser scans, transforms, and time‑series topics.
Runs familiar CLI (ros2 bag list/info).
Filter by topics or time ranges.
Natural‑language queries to visualize and process data.
Lightweight UI to benchmark multiple LLMs (Anthropic, OpenAI, open‑source via Groq).

In tests of eight LLM/VLMs, tool‑use performance varied widely; Kimi K2 and Claude Sonnet 4 led. Success depended on tool schemas, number of arguments, and how many tools were exposed.

Automating GDPR Compliance: A Roadmap for Companies and Law Firms

GDPR compliance is more than checkboxes. A new roadmap from the Privatech project shows how automation and machine learning can help companies and law firms assess—and even generate—privacy compliance. * Shift the focus to data processors’ real workflows: drafting policies, mapping data uses, documenting decisions. * Break compliance into machine-ready

FPGAs for Faster, Leaner Deep Learning: A Review of CNN Accelerators

Deep learning drives image search, robots, and medical scans. Most systems lean on CPUs and GPUs. This review asks: what if we run convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on FPGAs—reconfigurable chips you can tailor to the model? * Why FPGAs: custom dataflows, low latency, and strong energy efficiency—great for cameras,

Dynamic-K: Recommendations That Know When to Stop

Most apps show a fixed number of “top” items—say 10 movies or 20 products—assuming there are always enough good options. But that’s not always true: sometimes there are few relevant items, or some users are extra picky. The result? Filler recommendations. Dynamic-K flips the script. Instead of

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves (DECODE)

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves Ever had a bot say one thing, then the opposite a few turns later? This study introduces DECODE—a new task and dataset for spotting contradictions in everyday conversations, drawn from both human-human and human-bot chats. * New data beats existing natural language inference (NLI)
