A fully autonomous AI agent purchase. No checkout page. No human clicks. Just UCP tools, a wallet, and one word: "yes."

[ucpchecker @ucpchecker]

The first fully autonomous AI agent purchase just happened.

No clicks.
No checkout page.
No human.

We scanned 3,034 stores for UCP manifests in March.

Adoption has tripled in a month. Non-Shopify platforms are showing up for the first time. And the spec is expanding into returns, loyalty, and fees.

You can benchmark up to 5 AI shopping agents at once — same store, same prompt, side by side.

6.4s to 38.7s. Same task. Very different execution.

Introducing Bambot, an open source, low cost (~$300) humanoid robot.

Inspired by @LeRobotHF , so-100 arm and lekiwi

Popping a wheelie -- ultimate must have feature!!!

Love their general approach here

Meet the game-changer: SO-100 🦾

Crafted by @therobotstudio and @huggingface 🤗

At 1/3 the cost and 2x the capabilities of our previous arms, it's the most accessible, high-performance robotic arm for $115. Easiest DIY at home!

@serdar_abali You can always go back to corporate world. Take risks but they must be calculated. Clear a path for an exciting startup future

I’m being treated to a solar halo today.

It’s pretty spectacular.

Aka 22 degree halo as it has an approximate radius of 22 degrees from the sun.

I’m a big fan of rust.

I use a rust based observability agent for fleetstack.

This sounds right up my street.

I was playing with a new robotics framework called Dora-rs today.

A super impressive replacement of ROS (the Robot Operating System), for those who know, one of the pain-point to lower the entry barrier in robotics imo

Dora-rs is much much easier to install and fully integrate in a python ecosystem. it's in Rust, using Apache Arrow, full of modern practices.

They are just starting but already really amazing work @HaixuanT and team

@sampritibh @navierboat Can I get this img as a poster? It will look pretty epic in a frame

Westworld was only 8 years ago. It would have been crazy to think that these creations would be possible in my lifetime.

Now with the rate of progress, I'm not so sure.

I have been cleaning my daughter's mess for more than two years now. Last weekend our robot came to home to do the job for me. 🤖

Our new work on visual whole-body control learns a policy to coordinate the robot legs and arms for mobile manipulation. See how the legs bend on grasping objects on the ground based on visual inputs autonomously. (It is NOT teleoperation!)

We again adopt a Sim2Real approach and our policy generalizes to beaches, forests, and streets in San Diego. 👇🧵

Folding clothes with $250 robot arms. I've added another motor to improve mobility and extend the reach. The CAD files and the code are public at: https://t.co/2J1aS6Jred

Today I have been installing, provisioning, configuring, uninstalling across models and OS’s. Testing, testing, logging, logging.

Working on the best experience and logging system.
