I am looking for a mechatronics engineer who has designed robot limbs with motors, gear trains, transmission components, bonus points if you have messed with generative 3d design (nTop/Fusion etc). I have an unbelievably cool opportunity for you. Must be in the bay area, DM me some of your work.

@asimovinc @graftoverflow If you had variable stiffness on the toe it would’ve been great. The big toe supports about 40% of human body weight during kickoff phase.

@Honda do you still have any #ASIMO robots in a crate somewhere? It would be so fun to get one hooked up to a modern control system. You guys had it completely working 20 years ago, the only limitation at the time was the lack of reinforcement learning tools that are now abundant. If you send me an ASIMO I will do this. PLEASE

Now we go from folding clothes to lifting refrigerators?

Can some of these companies please get a product manager?

[Humanoids daily @humanoidsdaily]

The response to Boston Dynamics is here. 🤖🍻

BD's Atlas gripped the fridge directly, managing "complex contact points." AGIBOT's X2, powered by their new AGILE Foundation Model, achieved the same result by adding custom handles and custom end effectors. Different approaches, same cold beverage delivered!

Spec'ing all the QDD robot actuators for worst case (peak) torques is making an army of dangerous, heavy, ruthless flywheel machines that will not safely interact with humans.

Parkour is cool but these things will never go near grandma until we fix this.

[Thane Hunt @thanehunt]

what layer are you building?

[Thane Hunt @thanehunt]

@victormustar Well, maybe 40cm, 75cm might be a unique size!

[Thane Hunt @thanehunt]

@victormustar Had this in 2012

@johnny5replica Amazing!!!

[Thane Hunt @thanehunt]

@bmontxna I’m more worried about the fact that nobody knows what to do other than robot fights. The appearance can be changed but stupid applications are rampant and harder to deal with.

[Thane Hunt @thanehunt]

You’re not launching the OS layer for robots, you made a utility

Chinese startup Rochu Robotics developed a humanoid hand that mimics real anatomy using hydraulics and 24 biomimetic tendons for flexible, lifelike motion.
Features a one-to-one skeletal design to move more like a real human hand.

Nothing worse than coming downstairs to see all your beautiful, just-arrived PCBs ripped out of their box and thrown all over the floor. San Francisco wins this round. 🫩

[Thane Hunt @thanehunt]

Yup

[Simon Kalouche @simonkalouche]

Unfortunately Frank, Rose, Bob and Gary the humanoids all just lost their jobs to a pair of faster, lower cost, more reliable robot arms.

Superhuman robots will beat humanoids for every industrial application with scale.

[Thane Hunt @thanehunt]

@asimovinc yes!
