Train AI robots without writing a single line of code. 🤖

We just launched LeLab, the official graphical user interface for LeRobot built by @rabault_nicolas. It completely removes the command line from the robot learning workflow, taking you from raw hardware to autonomous movement visually.

If you've ever wanted to get into AI robotics but were held back by complex terminal setups, this is for you.

- Zero-Terminal Setup: Smart calibration with automatic USB port detection.
- Easy Data Collection: Teleoperate your robot and record a dataset.
- One-Click GPU Training: Don't have a massive local GPU? Scale your training instantly with Hugging Face Jobs right inside the app.

Just plug in your SO-ARM101 and start teaching your robot. We put together a complete, step-by-step video guide showing exactly how to get started and train your first policy.

RAPTOR-our new tiny foundation policy for quadrotors has just appeared on @SciRobotics! A single compact policy that adapts in milliseconds across different quadrotors and autopilots, flies zero-shot with no fine-tuning, and simultaneously tested on multiple platforms!

Teleoperation was pioneered ~1950 to remotely handle radioactive material. When we use it today to collect robot trajectories for BC, it is still clumsy. Surely, there is a better way! (Hint: human video, RL in sim).https://t.co/l7QUge3lwe

[Ho Lab @lab_ho]

Can't agree more. Many system, hardware-wise papers have been presented at RSS, disseminating great benchmarks for the community. Such a great privilege to serve for @RoboticsSciSys !

[Cheng Chi @chichengcc]

Robotics has always been about systems all the way down! I do appreciate RSS for having the foresight of creating systems track and best systems paper awards! Proudly published all of my PhD works on @RoboticsSciSys

Ho研のOB @quanluu96 の最新な成果。

[Chris Paxton @chris_j_paxton]

ManiFeel is a benchmark for contact-rich manipulation tasks. Force- and tactile-based tasks with occlusions and partially-observable state are going to be crucial for true general purpose robotics.

At the RI seminar at CMU yesterday, I presented a 3 level analysis of robot skills & discussed the pros and cons of teleoperation, simulation, and learning from videos, before presenting our research. Enjoy! https://t.co/wUPe3QlTRk
