Mission Robotics

The robotics hub in the SF Mission, where embodied AI gets its body.

[Mission Robotics @MissionRobotBay]

This Thursday, come mix and mingle with the best up and coming class of founders in Physical AI from @theresidency

[Roland Graser @roland_graser]

hosting a physical ai meetup with @theresidency and @MissionRobotBay next week thursday. pull up!

[Mission Robotics @MissionRobotBay]

@junfanzhu98 @SAVANTvc So excited to have you!

[Mission Robotics @MissionRobotBay]

July 17-19 in San Francisco. Real robots and real tasks in the room the robotics scene's been missing.

Put a mind in metal.

This week we have three big announcements for The Embodied Metal Hackathon: new judges, a big new sponsor, and the first wave of acceptances.

Read on for more 👇

[Mission Robotics @MissionRobotBay]

The first wave of acceptances went out today. Check your email! Congrats to everyone who made it in the first round. The room's already filling with some ballers.

If you haven't gotten a nod yet, don't worry. More waves are coming. And if you haven't applied yet, see the next post.

[Aurora Feng @aurorafeng_01]

if you’re a researcher/builder/engineer in the robotics space, come hang out with us at @saturdayrobotic SF Deep Tech Week happy hour tomorrow!

huge thanks to @MissionRobotBay and @bcristei for sponsoring the event 🙌

I wasn’t joking about this, btw. It’s happening. Funded teams, mad scientists, and community maestros all making Physical AI a living thing.

If you want to build the beating heart of robotics in the Mission, DM me.

[Mattie Fairchild @Scav]

Packed house for @MissionRobotBay’s first event! Many thanks and props to @saturdayrobotic and @junfanzhu98 for curating such a great crowd

1/ 🧠Humans are the best robot data source!
2/ 👓Human egocentric video is rich in quantity, but poor in quality.
3/ Beyond scaling data, smarter representation and architecture matter just as much.
4/ Want an open-source framework to train your own learn-from-human-data robot policy?

🚀We introduce HumanEgo: Zero-Shot Robot Learning
from Minutes of Human Egocentric Videos⬇️

✦ Zero-Shot Human-to-Robot Transfer
✦ Robot-Data-Free
✦ Just 30 min of data per task
✦ Collect by Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere
✦ Deploy on Any Robot, Any Camera, Any Environment
✦ Open-Source & Easy-to-Implement

Let's squeeze every bit of signal out of human data!

This Saturday! We're cohosting @SaturdayRobotic's World Model Reading Club at the new Mission Robotics space.

Keynote speaker: @TX_Leo_Wang, about one of the grail hunts of robot models: how to train polices on less than half an hour of human data.

@saba_khalilnaji @mikisafr @savant_vc @newtheoryai @NorthstarRobots YES

[Cam @camsinit]

@Scav has been deep in the weeds on preparing the first @newtheoryai hackathon, which I'm incredibly excited to be supporting!

If you've ever wanted to get a robot to actually do a task, this is the hackathon to do it.

Come for the robots, stay for the vibes

@DonJohnsonSays a society of @virtuals_io piloting robot would be cool, just saying

[Mission Robotics @MissionRobotBay]

Announcing: The Embodied Metal Hackathon! Happening Jul 17-19 in San Francisco's Mission. Three days in a factory loft with real robots, hacking to make them do something wild.

We're packing the floor with the best founders, developers, and mad scientists across Embodied AI. If you'd rather make your AI *do* things – in the real world! – instead of just write about them, this event is for you.

Hosts and sponsors: @MissionRobotBay, @savant_vc, @newtheoryai, and @NorthstarRobots, with compute from @modal.

Space very limited, so apply early: https://t.co/FbpieBrIH9

@charles_irl If one hacks a human arm it's a problem, but if one hacks on a robot arm, it's a-ok!

[Charles 🎉 Frye @charles_irl]

it is time to hack on embodiment

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

Will drop in to see the robot projects everyone builds.

Good for America. Good for San Francisco. We need many more efforts like this to keep up with China.
