The updated ElRobot Assembly Instructions are live! 🛠️

We’ve overhauled the manual for a much smoother build:
✅ Universal parts: No more L/R mirrors!
✅ Simplified steps: One action at a time.
✅ Built-in QA: Test movement as you build.
✅ Clear warnings: Stop installing motors backwards.

Physical AI is officially leaving the lab.

NormaCore is going live on farms, deploying multi-sensor, multi-robot meshes coordinated directly through Station.

Real hardware taking on unpredictable terrain.

Less theory, more dirt. 🚜🤖

[NormaCore @norma_core_dev]

With NormaCore Station, your robot's full operational life is the dataset.

✅Continuous capture at max hardware speed.
❌ No downsampling.
❌No "start/stop" recording.
It’s all automatically compressed, encrypted, and stored.

When you need a dataset, just pull it. No scripts. No pipelines. Just data. 🎯

SF Physical AI Hackathon is a wrap. Thank you to everyone who showed up to build something real.

The demos were genuinely impressive. A lot of teams trained multiple models to handle multiple tasks, and almost every team had a working demo by the end. Had a great time chatting with builders making everything from toast, to an IRL chess engine, to automating housework.

Big thanks to our sponsors and partners who made it possible:

@metrox_eth @HyperLogistix Thank you! We have something better than just a UI: https://t.co/HfsQN41arX - a single Rust binary for setup, auto-calibration, and data recording with NormaCore station! RoArm support is on the way

[NormaCore @norma_core_dev]

Update on the ElRobot kits!🤖📦

Huge thanks to everyone who participated! We'll reach out to you soon.

[NormaCore @norma_core_dev]

@metrox_eth We've sent out the first batch. Now waiting for the new one to be made and will reach out for addresses as soon as it's ready.

Been eyeing @norma_core_dev 's ElRobot arm for a while.

Stoked they're our Technical Partner for the @makermodsai Physical AI Hacks this weekend @fdotinc, Fort Mason. 200+ hackers, real hardware.

Just the start of what we're cooking up together 👀

NormaCore Station v0.1.0-beta.6 🚀

SO101 + SmolVLA + NormaCore Station = ❤️

[NormaCore @norma_core_dev]

Thanks for the update, sorry about the breaks!

Could you share what filament you used (brand + material) and whether you ran our print profile or your own? We designed the part for PLA and tested across a few different PLAs, so curious what you tried.

Photos of the part and where it cracked would help a lot too - layer line, screw hole, etc.

[NormaCore @norma_core_dev]

Stop losing crucial sensor data. 🛑

You never know what data you'll need tomorrow or in a year, so NormaCore Station keeps a full lifetime history.

[NormaCore @norma_core_dev]

Hardware fails. Your operations shouldn't. 🛑➡️🟢

NormaCore Station delivers true fault tolerance and seamless Plug & Play.

[NormaCore @norma_core_dev]

@cyrux004 Yes!

This Tuesday, we participated in the Berlin Robotics Meetup!

It was a fantastic opportunity to show the NormaCore Station and ElRobot in action, connect with the community, and share a live look at what we've been building. 🚀

Looking forward for the next one!
