Thanks for stopping by, @Scobleizer! For anyone curious about what we’re doing at @foundation_robo, this is a great crash course!.
EXCLUSIVE TOUR OF NEW HUMANOID ROBOT STARTUP:. ChatGPT, after watching this video tour of @foundation_robo's CEO/founder, @sankaet, tell me the state of the art on humanoid robots, wrote this:. "Wow, what a deep dive—killer interview. You got a full masterclass in next-gen

It was fun partnering with @PalmerLuckey and @ashleevance on this. Hands down the highlight of the day! Kudos to the @foundation_robo team for making it happen!.
The future is here - @PalmerLuckey dialing in with VR to have a live conversation with @ashleevance, leveraging @foundation_robo humanoid robot. Only at Reindustrialize.

Excited to share that @foundation_robo achieved 87% OEE (overall equipment effectiveness), the key metric for manufacturing efficiency, at our first deployment! We're close to running full shifts.

Large robot fleets will operate in cities and some held in reserve, like the military, ready to deploy to remote locations on Earth and beyond. Few people will own robots; instead, they'll request one or more on demand for various tasks they need done.
"We want to deploy a massive fleet of robots in cities, on different planets, wherever. and they'll come and do whatever you want them to do." @foundation_robo CEO Sankaet Pathak @sankaet shares the audacious long-term vision behind their current focus on industrial humanoid

Update on deployment - our robot now outperforms human cycle time (the time it takes a human to complete the task from start to finish)! Full shifts are still a work in progress, but confident we are close!.
This weekend marked a pivotal day for @foundation_robo. We officially shipped our first production robot to a customer. It took us 13 months from idea to deployment—faster than any other humanoid company. But the real work starts now. The next few months will be grueling as we

More sensors and wires = more failures. You can achieve a lot with just vision and torque feedback. Tactile sensing is a waste of time—it makes the system overly complex, from manufacturing to sensor noise, where downsides outweigh benefits. Try this experiment yourself: numb.
New research from Cambridge University introduces an innovative electronic skin for robots, crafted from a single, durable, and highly sensitive hydrogel material. Unlike traditional multi-sensor systems, this e-skin can detect various types of touch—from pressure to

These are the wheeled robots we shipped for commercial use! No more wheeled units are being built; we are only building legged robots and will decommission wheeled units by year-end.

Our first training cluster is now live. It’s a small cluster we built to develop the infrastructure needed to create our compute-as-a-service platform, which will enable any developer at @foundation_robo to provision compute for training and fine-tuning models through a simple

Strong case for why humanoids are the optimal path. The race will shift fast—from tech to manufacturing, then to data as the ultimate moat. All of that requires a scalable form factor with enough TAM and will unfold very quickly.
@LimitingThe I don’t think you mentioned the other reason for a humanoid form factor: cost. You can only mass manufacture something cheaply if you make tons of the exact same thing. And if the AI thesis is correct that you can make a humanoid do anything a human can do, then those that mass.

We’ve been deep in our first auto manufacturing deployment. Meanwhile, we’re tackling next use cases for the next two customers in consumer goods manufacturing. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming!

This is a bad take. Tesla cars are also distributed compute at scale. It’s not a better or worse product because of it being closed. What determines a better or worse product is the value it creates for its users. Open source vs closed is not the right debate. Built something.
Humanoid robots are essentially decentralized compute at scale. Doesn't make sense to be closed source, it is inherently a worse product.
