@giacomo_ran Nice!! conditioning on action prefixes is definitely a good way to get smoother motions, and smooth actions matter way more when using high gains and moving fast

@philfung Hahaha playing catch was the best part! :-)

@LightyLightyHi @Qi_Wu577 @YihuaiGao @chelseabfinn @zipengfu Yes 😂 the throwing person had to be pretty consistent with the tosses for me to catch them.

@AIQuanting @Qi_Wu577 @YihuaiGao @chelseabfinn @zipengfu We found the policy to be pretty resilient even without masking! Much like the distractors in the original ALOHA work.

@kawaidgaf @Qi_Wu577 @YihuaiGao @chelseabfinn @zipengfu All details are in our post! But really, just any lightweight arm with stiff motors (like DM motors) and some printed handles!

@tianx2li @Qi_Wu577 @YihuaiGao @chelseabfinn @zipengfu Yes 😭 that’s why you kind of see me lean a bit away I started off a little scared

⚡️Flash ALOHA release tonight! Excited to share!

[Bo Ai ✈️ CoRL @BoAi0110]

Excited by the progress and grateful for the enthusiasm from the community! In just a few weeks, we’ve deployed our policies on legged, wheeled, aerial, and underwater robots at 30+ labs around the globe. A huge thank-you to everyone making this possible.

Looking forward to sharing more findings as we wrap up our experiments. For a preview of the deployments, visit https://t.co/xTZRwWzc1h!
