Manipulation is harder when the robot flies. ๐
Moving the arm can shift the drone, and wind can push it off course. The policy and controller have to work together.

๐ฅณIntroducing SNAP3D โ physically compatible 3D part generation from a single image.
Existing methods can generate visually appealing 3D parts, but the generated parts are often not physically compatible for assembly.
With SNAP3D, the parts are designed to fit together in the real world.
No glue. No screws. Just print, snap, and build!
๐จ๏ธ Try it with your 3D printer!

6/7 How far can today's robot policies go in flight? ๐ค
We benchmark ACT, Diffusion Policy & VLAs, then study fine-tuning, action interfaces & embodiments.
Humanoid robots often fail when conditions change.
A heavy backpack. A soft floor. A steep slope. Suddenly, the same controller may not work.
Meet FADA.
๐ฆพ
It adapts a humanoid to new conditions using only its own experience, keeping what the robot wants to do and changing only how it does it.
About two minutes. No rewards. No demonstrations. No simulator retuning.
