@KennethCassel @maticrobots @ReddySuryatej @S_Saryazdi a mixture of both;

we’ve also looked into 3d gen ai, but haven’t found those tools to be mature enough (yet) to rely on them heavily, but we expect to in the future

[jason zhou @jsn_zh]

we built an autonomous robot for your home, for <$1,000

live 3D mapping at 1cm^3 resolution, using just regular cameras
entire autonomy stack runs fully on device

here’s how we did it, in 60 seconds:

@raghavaupp @maticrobots @ReddySuryatej @S_Saryazdi definitely plans to make it e2e (esp for manipulation tasks) - for now, classical
