Massive dataset but egocentric video is not going to get us dexterous manipulation policies. Egocentric data provides high-level semantic scene and task understanding (which frontier VLMs already generally provide). What is needed is fine sub-mm-level finger pose & force data.

As much as I am bullish on robots, this would be a pass for me personally 🙃
Well, it's Saturday. A perfect moment to watch a robot giving you a new haircut, right? 💇🏼♂️ This robot created by Shane Wighton will not only do a great haircut or trim the sides but is also able to chat with you. During the pandemic, the creator of StuffMadeHere built this

This is pretty incredible! @DynaRobotics continues to be at the forefront - true usefulness with complex manipulation tasks as opposed to fancy robot dancing demos!
We have been stress testing our model flywheel and seeing strong results in many challenging tasks! Task 1: chopping veggie🧑🍳 A test of coordinated tool use that involves asymmetric task and dynamic feedback to make consistent cuts. We used just 70 trajectories to get the

Incredible… manipulation is complex anywhere but doing it mid flight…. 🤯
This drone becomes a flying manipulator! 🥏 Researchers at the The University of Tokyo developed this aerial robot. Built with four pairs of ducted fans linked by actuated joints, Dragon can reshape itself mid-flight. This allows it to grasp objects and perform tasks

Highly recommended for anyone wanting to start, experiment, or just explore robotics!! The @LeRobotHF team is one of the best for open source robotics. 🙏
Everyone wants to get into robotics. No one knows where to start. LeRobot's Francesco just dropped a 70-page crash course that takes you from zero to cutting-edge: - RL sim/real - ACT, Diffusion policies - VLAs, SmolVLA, Pi-0 Absolute gold if you want to catch up fast.

Super cool long horizon embodied reasoning with memory…. Looking gory to trying it out! 🙌
Fundamental spatial and temporal understanding is the bedrock upon which robots will learn motor control. These types of Embodied Reasoning capabilities enable policy learning but also inference abilities like image or video conditioning. We just released a new SOTA ER model!

🚀 Big update for LeRobot! We've launched a new plugin system to support third-party hardware. Now you can integrate any robot, camera, or teleoperator with a simple 'pip install', no need to modify the core library. This makes open robotics development more extensible,

“engineering is art in motion” 💯
You have no idea how fascinating it is to watch our machines do this everyday. Engineering is art in motion.

You very rarely see this kind of loco-manipulation from humanoid robots (think about it -- have you seen Tesla Optimus or Figure F02 ever walk up and bend down to pick something up??). That's because it's way harder than it looks, but of course this is fundamentally what makes a

Hangzhou is insane. Just look at what these kids do. They casually made a fleet of trash-catching trash cans for a 3 minute video. 232 likes as of now. And all their stuff is like this. https://t.co/6ypqHQgvzX

Advice that sounds okay on the surface but might cost you your company: 1. “Raise as much as you can, hire quickly, and worry about profitability later” My advice: raise little, stay lean, fund with profits. If you do raise, be thoughtful and choose the right partners.

A new VLA for navigation that can take in goal images, positions, and language, and exhibits some pretty neat emergent language following!
We trained OmniVLA, a robotic foundation model for navigation conditioned on language, goal poses, and images. Initialized with OpenVLA, it leverages Internet-scale knowledge for strong OOD performance. Great collaboration with @CatGlossop, @shahdhruv_, and @svlevine.

In 2009, Jensen explained CUDA and estimated its market size, $NVDA stock price was at ~$0.2 split adjusted. $10k investment in NVIDIA would turn into $8.8M The GOAT.

A Breakthrough in Robotics: Spherical Gears Enter Mass Production Spherical gears, the kind of joint that would allow a robot to move like a human shoulder, have been notoriously difficult to manufacture with high precision. That's changing, thanks to a new design and a path to

With the pipeline enabled, you can set up wild teleoperation flows 🤯. It also makes handling policies & stats way simpler. Playing with a model has never been easier 👇
LeRobot SO101 setup just got 50% cheaper! You can now teleoperate your follower arm right from your phone. 🤯 But that's not all. Our new pipeline feature lets you record and train AI models in end-effector space, or with any other features. The possibilities are endless!
