Interaction with the real world is the major bottleneck in robot learning. So what would robot RL look like if we didn’t need to limit compute per interaction? Our latest work, Off-Policy Generative Policy Optimization (OGPO, accepted to ICML26) embarks on answering this question (spoiler alert: when done correctly, it helps massively!).

The past year has been a crazy journey. We started building last summer with just an idea. 5 robot iterations and many sim2real Saturdays later, Voxel has arrived. The world’s first gentleman in training. But he also likes to get his groove on.

Engineering Voxel means crafting character into the machine.

Inside Tuesday Labs, world-class engineers team up with legendary Hollywood animators to shape how he moves, communicates, and lives in the home.

The team drew from their favorite characters in film and literature, human-robot-interaction research, etiquette guides, and their own experience building robots to create Voxel.

12 years ago I took @AndrewYNg ’s ML course on Coursera that changed the course of my life. Today I lead ML at @roboticscorp and we just launched! So excited to share Voxel with the world.

Thank you @AndrewYNg for making it possible to start on this journey.
