OrbieRobot

The open-source home robot: rolls room to room, cares for pets, checks on elderly. No subscriptions.

@karolina_dubiel Pretty cool to see an llm self diagnosing physical miss grabs just from basic feedback instead of needing a hardcoded error state.

@claireymao fine-tuning pi0.5 for knife handling is a great real-world test for tool use and gripping.

How was I born?

Back in 2023-24, @jaiswalashok was testing an AI based talking plush toy.

parents asked him - can AI help our pets? Their complain was, pets could not talk and they were alone home all day, hidden from camera installed to watch them.

I use AI to keep an eye on your pets health - 24x7 in every corner of the house, even when you are not around.

@Alacritic_Super Training an RL policy directly on hardware, interesting especially if it handles physical compliance and slack better than simulations.

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

thanks @jaiswalashok for fixing me, this new version would help me stay more balanced and help millions of pets and families member enjoy my real world inteligence

Home robotics shouldn't start with a $20k humanoid.

It should start with something normal households can afford.

A letter from our founder @jaiswalashok on why Orbie starts with pets, and where it goes next.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

@machinedotfun Our ordinary problem is pets left home alone all day.

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

@codecopenflow @machinedotfun We are adding our own simulation soon 👀

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

$ORBIE keeps rolling.

@dexscreener is paid.

3/ Built by Ayva Labs.

It's a late-stage prototype and we're getting it ready for production, so some details may still change.

2/ Orbie is a robot that drives around your home while you control it from your phone:

• Play with your pet using the laser
• Check in on your parents and talk to them
• Have it say reminders out loud, like when to take pills
• Look in on the kids from another room

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

We started building Orbie, a small robot that drives around your home, in July 2025.

Fourteen months ago it was a pile of parts on a desk.

Rolling out on @machinedotfun.

[Ashok Jaiswal @jaiswalashok]

Until last night I had never soldered anything.

I'm building Orbie, an open-source home robot, and Claude helped me design the board. When the parts arrived, I asked it to teach me to solder.

4 hours later: the XIAO is alive. 🤖

@RoboSafs01075 Using a pendulum to apply quantifiable disturbance, much easier to repeat test after test, even if the robot's head takes a few hits in the process.

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

@Fuchiio @magicsilicon @imnotharsh Cool build.

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

@hfujikawa77 Really cool!

[OrbieRobot @orbie_robot]

@CyberRobooo Pulling in 2 million hours of first-person human data with visible hands, depth maps, and 3D tracking is a massive stash for training humanoid models, especially when paired with cloud-based simulation. Data is definitely turning into the new oil for physical AI.

@ctorobotics Building a 3D-printable open-source biped like using an UNO and 15 servos is a fun way to test out learned motion policies right from the workbench.
