Why are robotics companies obsessed with making nightmare fuel?
Only one of these doesn't look like it would kill me in my sleep.
You would think 'not looking deadly' would be a top priority for home robots, but apparently not.
Great job @sundayrobotics
I'm incredibly impressed. I'd say this is the best home robotics demo we've seen ... by a mile.
I was a bit sceptical of the gripper design, but actually, after seeing it together with the human hand, it makes sense. It actually seems to be providing the necessary dexterity without the over complexity of the 3 million degrees of freedom humanoid hands that some people are going for.
You could argue that objects could have been placed always basically in the same spot. But that would be unfounded, with that much navigation the robot is bound to be in a different relative pose to the objects regardless.
Great demo! Keep it up
Introducing ACT-1: The frontier robot AI behind Memo.
ACT-1 enables Memo to perform: 🎭
⏰ Lengthy tasks like cleaning up after your dinner
🦾 Dexterous tasks such as folding socks
☕ Daily delights like making an espresso
How does it work? 🧵
Today, we present a step-change in robotic AI @sundayrobotics.
Introducing ACT-1: A frontier robot foundation model trained on zero robot data.
- Ultra long-horizon tasks
- Zero-shot generalization
- Advanced dexterity
