I like cars, tech and good food

@radbackwards @TenaciousTek It’s a beautiful piece of engineering. How does cost compare to the Wuji hand?

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@BerntBornich Exciting! I wonder how big the DFMEA document is for this 😆 . But seems like maybe there are multiple of the same modules at least?

@AntonioSitongLi The key challenge is manufacturing actuators in America.

Had a great time showcasing Lume at @bySyncere last night!

[Aaron Tan @aaronistan]

We are hosting the largest showing of Lume in Palo Alto

Bring your own laundry

Details below

@brycent @neil_ruaro Mensho Tokyo, they will serve you as long as in the door by 11pm

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@juliazniv @bySyncere It was great working with you guys, thanks for helping tell our story :)

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@aaronistan We’ve got lamps doing your chores before GTA 6 @pmarca

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@RCallsign @aaronistan It doesn’t necessarily have to be in the bedroom, the form factor allows it to look “at home” whether it is in the living room, bedroom, office room.etc

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@abram2k1 @aaronistan @andrewchen Definitely real! Also consider overall system weight is much less which inherently makes things safer.

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

Only with the team at @bySyncere could we have done this so quickly without compromising the product.

Have never worked with a team with so much grit, they laugh when faced with hard technical problems and just get them done @likev_in @FrankFunanShi @aaronistan @pxrcy3571 @sinarasi2000 @RomMagz @angus_fung @Greymasterjr13 @ethancpwoo

[Aaron Tan @aaronistan]

Introducing Lume.

A lamp that does your chores.

Order now. Shipping this summer.

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

Been in a few startups over the past decade and I haven’t worked with a more bought in, motivated team than the one here.

[Aaron Tan @aaronistan]

We just did a private demo of Lume for Jeff Bezos, Will I Am, Dario Amodei, and more.

The progress over the past six months has been incredible.

The @bySyncere team is so excited to launch this week.

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

Not often you get to work on a truly category-defining product. Beyond excited to show the world what we’ve created.

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@bryanwon23 @oprydai For sensor field of view studies, it can just be done in CAD by modeling the view cones and just playing with the angles to figure out stuff like blind spots.

More complex sims can be done with Ansys Speos or Zemax but it’s better handled in late stage or by suppliers

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@bryanwon23 @oprydai Simulation can be very useful if scoped properly. For instance, putting a sensor field of view cone in CAD and checking the position is relatively easy and can save a lot of time.

Building your first functional prototype with whatever means necessary should still be priority

For anyone interested

I see they requested FMVSS 108 exemptions but it didn't reference anything on reflex, so I was always super curious how they solved that. My guess was reflex that flipped

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@emm0sh @BallifJed I’m guessing sintavia, is doing laser sintering.

Probably super useful for space and defense where they will buy 1 part for 1 trillion dollars

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

It’s harder to throw a humanoid robot out of your window.

Happy to report that our robot is light enough to be thrown out of a window should you feel the need to.

😆

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@faraz_r_khan Once I finished up CAD while taking a flight and kicked off a 3D print in the air. And then marveled at the fact that this is actually possible.

Honestly it’s a great time to be alive and building no matter if you are software or hardware 😊

[Alex Levenko @alexembodied]

@faraz_r_khan Cruising 600mph, 50,000ft in the air with internet and getting served snacks and coffee, feeling normal. This is actually kind of insane when you think about the engineering it took to get here lol
