Started out robotics two months ago with a interest in NASAs ARMADAs @NASAAmes, then earthly tech with @BedrockRobotics, then was inspired by @JacobZietek essay “Robotics Needs Fewer Roboticist”

Code as Policies: Language Model Programs for Embodied Control

Interesting paper, I wonder how a agent could agnostically control hardware across different embodiments

@hughphan_ I agree

Maybe we can finally stop training robotics models and start doing robotics?…

@theSamPadilla Great article!

一年前我开始做robotics，当时最火的还是VLA，后来26年开始出现WAM，不过换汤不换药，泛化性一直很差，圈子内普遍认为还有3～5年才能有达到自驾级别模型的数据量用来训练，我自己也认为是这样，看了VSI-Bench这些工作之后，也觉得LLM一时半会儿搞不定3D空间的事情，毕竟文本是一维的

当时有一些初步尝试接入大模型的工作，一部分也是用来在sim中造数据给VLA训练，中间需要大量人工的设计，造资产造layout造task都需要大量human-in-the-loop以及复杂的管线设计，现在我试了下，opus55已经能很快造出来能用的layout了。另外一部分就是Code-as-Policy了，但是其实还是需要人参与很多，来修改各种action的代码。

真的没有想到才半年过去，LLM就以如此快的速度，杀死了比赛，当然也期待在人型以及更多机形上的效果，个人觉得夹爪臂EEF是一个甜点位:)，算一个点对于LLM来说还是很简单的

Instant Robot Learning out in public.

[Suhanraj Thirumal @suhanthiru1925]

Also! Im going to be spending the next 6 ish months @Proto_Town, building out a new industrial robotics company to support material abundance in america!

Wish me luck!

As a math major who has more recorded hours chicken farming than i do using a screw driver, ive decided to learn the full stack of robotics, from the physical to the data to the policies

And im going to keep posting to keep myself honest
