Decided to use a Finch to explore what LLMs do well and poorly with robots - I have only given my agent functions to move forward, turn right, and play a note (so far), but ChatGPT can use those to draw simple shapes and play common songs pretty well!

Ever wonder how long your @birdbraintech stuff will last? Well, I made this giant knitted octopus in 2015 with a Hummingbird Duo (the predecessor to the Hummingbird Bit), and it has been running daily in my local library since December 2021.

If you teach high school computer science and are looking for a cool end of the year activity, check out this video on how you can use block-based programming to learn more about how ChatGPT works!
hey, snap!ers 🧑💻👨💻👩💻 We've been busy the past week. The whole Snap! team from @SAP and @UCBerkeley participated in the 2024 @faberllull robotics residency. Thanks everyone for the experience and exchange 🤖🫶🥳🎉 Check out what we've been working on: https://t.co/SbCk2lvZL5

I worked on this demo, and it was fascinating to put together a set of functions that Digit can call via the LLM! The task succeeds here, but we also dealt with how the robot can recover if a box is dropped or communicate that the request is something it can't (or shouldn't) do.
An example of giving Digit natural language directions to complete tasks. A nice peek into the future of robot control.

Excited for #PGHDiscoveryDay this week - @agilityrobotics has two robots, ten volunteers, and a hands-on programming activity ready to go! @RoboPGH #Pittsburgh #Robotics #AI #PGHTech #RoboCapital

Humanoid Robot companies should be filtered: → Robots delivered to customers vs. not → Dynamic walking vs. ZMP → Videos (live demos for bonus points) vs. renders But that's just me arguing on the internet.
Humanoid Robot companies should be filtered: → Commercial vs R&D → Bipedal Walking vs Not Walking → Hands vs No Hands (Sufficient Dexterity) The only 2 companies that are commercial, walking, w/ hands are Optimus and @Figure_robot

Delighted to be quoted in this article - robots that work hard will fall sometimes! It is more important to fall well and recover quickly than to try and prevent it altogether.

I prepared a few surprises for my #SnapCon23 keynote today, including blocks for the new version of Digit! Looking forward to talking about how to make it easier for non-experts to use complex robots. @SnapCloud @agilityrobotics

I had a choice this afternoon between finishing my Snap!Con 2023 talk or making @SnapCloud blocks for the new Digit - I think we all know how this one turned out. @agilityrobotics

Hey! That's us😍. Of course, Digit is just one part of a complete automation solution. Admittedly a pretty incredible part.
Technology developers are designing a new generation of human-like robots aimed at filling in for workers at warehouses

We've had an incredible last year. A big part of that has been evolving and adding to our leadership team. You know it's special when world-class folks choose to join the Agility family.
