AI in robotics gets all the attention right now, but sometimes the most interesting work is very practical. Viet built a small vision system that counts potatoes on a conveyor belt. No giant dataset. No huge model. Just a clear problem and a smart setup. He used Ultralytics’

This is beginning of the end for humans and start of Life 2.0 which will enter our prime mates society via sexual interactions Ex Machina style. If it can fold laundry, then that is cherry on the top 😂 And you'll have one more pronoun to worry about: 'it'
I have no idea what the worlds going to look like in 20 years, but here’s the new ‘robotic girlfriend’ 👀

If X decides to ban Nigeria, then I'll lose 50% of my followers 😂 If they ban Hong Kong, Cambodia and Viet Nam I will lose almost 80% of my followers! So few real accounts here!

Looks like Lev here has found a way to encode and decode smells using ultrasound excitation to the brain! We have LLMs for text, sound, image/picture and moving pictures and olfactory is the last frontier
One could imagine this being useful beyond simulating smells in VR, or even just reviving fainted people. If we run more experiments to gain more fine-grained control, we might get a 400-dimensional channel to rapidly beam information to your brain. 6/

This is surely art. It is has a deep meaning but absurd at the same time. I find the piece fascinating.

Possibly the very first Flamenco themed AI video and music generation! Music genre I love has made the transition to AI now.

Coarse movements in robots seems to have advanced quite a bit but not fine gripping, or at least the combination of both

Wait 20 years and this picture will be nothing but misery. We all burned a couple of years of our lives but the winners are the ones who've used every minute wisely. You're competing with 8 billion other humans. I'm sure little Italian towns also offer something
POV: It’s 11am on a Tuesday. You’re 32, unemployed, living in a tiny Italian town with no job prospects. You still live at home. Your girlfriend came over for breakfast. Mom’s in the kitchen making her fettuccine. Football on. Migrants haven’t hit your town yet. Life is perfect

This Russian fighter jet is kind of wowee! A dog fight with F-22 would be interesting to see

It seems @sundayrobotics is close to solving the billion dollar laundry folding problem. If this robot could fold a fitted sheet I will be sold
One less-known fact about glove-based data collection: it produces higher quality data than teleop on contact-rich tasks. Remote teleop can’t provide good force feedback, but gloves do naturally, making tasks like sock folding, which rely on feel, far easier to capture.

Our robots have a new cheerleader :) We’ve been quietly deploying our robots to more businesses across the Bay Area. Drop by @seabreezesf in Noe Valley and see for yourself!

@cloutiness @asa_sulense Great question and something I have been thinking about quite a lot. This can seem to feel like a search process, which would suggest something like a storage and retrieval model. But I think that's belied by the fact that the vast majority of the time we do not need any time

If I see one more post about TOON I am gonna hurt someone! Jesus, CSV has been around before LLMs what's wrong with people!
RIP JSON. AI just got a data format that doesn’t waste tokens, doesn’t confuse models, and doesn’t bury structure under a pile of punctuation and it’s called TOON. If you work with LLMs, this is the part where everything you thought was “good enough” starts looking ancient.

Robotic has 3 main issues: 1) efficient control mechanism 2) spatial planning 3) fine grain gripper control I think 1st is mostly solved by inverse kinematics and/or neural net control. 2nd is subject of research now. A few companies are working on 3rd one, and it's a tough one
This is absolutely stunning: Demonstration of the ALLEX system, developed by the South Korean company Wirobotics. This advanced robotic hand can perform delicate tasks with exceptional precision in movement and fine-tuned force control, enabling it to handle fragile objects

Next time you open your top kitchen cabinet door and prevent a vase from falling into the ground, or your face, don't take it for granted! So much revolutionary knowledge is encoded in trivial life. We take most of life for granted.
Dr Fei-Fei-Li explains with a simple example how everyday household chores are so extremely difficult for Robots. "If you tell a robot to open the top drawer and watch out for the vase, this is actually a really hard task for robots." because the robot must ground language into
