Training NN @maticrobots

[Yi Yang @_yiyang04]

A robot swings a rope and hits a falling balloon mid-air. Motion capture predicts where it will be; the policy strikes there.

Point It, Strike It: send a rope tip to any 3D point from a chosen direction. Across 25 targets on three real ropes, 87% of strikes land within 5 cm.

A robot whips a rope to knock an apple off someone's head, using a policy trained only in simulation.

Introducing DeformX (Oral @ IROS 2026): Cosserat rod physics co-simulated with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, so cables bend, twist and collide like the real thing.

MAC-I² learns how much to trust vision and IMU.

Metrics-aware covariance for both modalities enables robust VI fusion. We apply it to initialization and calibration in challenging scenes and motions.

everyone on X wants to train AI models. it's the "fun" part, but also the easiest part.

we just shipped voice + gesture control as an OTA update to 10k+ real homes, and training was the smallest slice of the work.

a LOT has to happen between "the model works" and "it works in your home." here's that gap 🧵

It took us 9 years, 11 prototypes, and our life savings to learn that every great product has the same design process.

Matic is now decisively the best home robot for families (I'm biased)

I think this is the first robot vacuum demo where I barely cared about the vacuuming lol

the way you interact with Matic is way more interesting:
• just talk to it normally
• point at something and tell it to clean that
• ask it to come over or follow you
• tell it to clean a room and let it figure out the rest

there’s something really cool about not having to learn how to use the robot
you just tell it what you want and it gets it

isn't this how all tech should be?

I’m incredibly proud of our brilliant team!

Several people thought Matic would never ship, but after 9 years of hard work we’ve not only shipped a fantastic product, but we’ve shipped something no one has ever shipped before

This is just a stepping stone on the path to automating all home chores

We’re just getting started…

@maticrobots This is sooo cool !!! 🚀🚀🚀

[Gayathri Sumitra @Gayathri073]

What an incredible milestone for the team

Robots shouldn’t need an app.

That’s why we built matic cues. Voice and gesture control for your home robot, live to all customers today with an OTA update.

Ask Matic to follow you to a mess or meet you in a room. You can even point to clean!

@mehul Very Exciting !!! 🫡

[Mehul @mehul]

this is the moment. 9 years in the making. what we've been building toward since 2017.

today we rolled out Matic Cues.

Matic is now the first home robot to understand 70+ spoken languages and human body language, including pointing at a mess on the floor.

humans have understood each other through cues for 200,000 years.

academia spent decades on human-to-robot interaction. we think the answer was always simpler: the best way to talk to a robot is the same way we talk to each other.

this matters most for families. a family isn't just app-savvy adults. it's kids. grandparents. people who don't speak English. people who just don't want another app.

Cues means anyone can use Matic.

today is the beginning of the end of the app.

for everyday cleaning, you won't need it at all. you'll just say:

"hey Matic, clean this."
"hey Matic, clean the kitchen."
"come here."
"follow me."
"go to the living room."
"come to the sink."

in any of 70+ languages.
the way you'd talk to anyone.

I’ve been yelling at my devices for a long time … for the first time ever, a device that listens and understands what I want … and just does it!

Introducing Matic Cues! @maticrobots

[Matic Robots @maticrobots]

Introducing Cues: Voice & Gesture control for Matic

We raised $115M and spent 9 years to make the world’s first intuitive home robot

Say you spilled coffee: Point to the spill and say, "Hey Matic, clean this" and it will hear, see, locate in 3D, and go clean on its own.

Matic comes with a lot of features:

1. Say "Hey Matic" - it locates your voice, turns, and looks at you
2. Say "Hey Matic, follow me" and start walking. Matic will follow behind
3. Say "Hey Matic, go clean the living room". Since it knows your house map, it navigates and just does it

It's so easy, a 5 year old and an 80 year old can use it and it understands 75 different languages.

Matic has 8x the airflow, specialised cleaning algorithms for rugs, corners, toekicks, mopping, etc and cleans better than any other robot vacuum.
Also keeps improving with software updates.

13,000 families use and love Matic.
WIRED magazine gave it a 10/10 (the only hardware to receive this rating in a decade)

Buy yours at https://t.co/nLfY5pchxB and if you don't love it after 6 months, we'll give you a full refund.

To celebrate our launch, we're cleaning 300 homes with Matic in San Francisco and New York City.

Comment "Matic" below, we'll send you the link to sign up and come to your doorstep to clean your home with Matic.
