We set out to collect 10M hours of on-embodiment data as a starting point for robotics models, but couldn’t find a robot reliable enough at a price that made it possible. So, we built one.

Meet Pandroid: an accessible hardware platform for AI. Small enough to safely experiment with, durable enough to run in fleets. Connect it to any model or coding agent over SSH to let it interact with the world.

@pantographPBC Super cute robot!

@wuji_global Unfortunately, a massive amount of video cuts

@humanoidsdaily I’m still not convinced it is. This is certainly impressive. But it’s steady progress I would expect to see.

[wwwrobot @wwwrobot88]

Need more polished robots

[SkinnyFat Tony @SkinnyfatTony]

Yes, we disassembled a Fanuc LRMate and had it chromed. Because we could. #fanucrobotics

One Policy. No Odom. Depth Only.

@chris_j_paxton I think four is all you really need. I rarely use my pinky, even for most very dexterous tasks.

@HeyGears3D I don’t mean to be dramatic, but if this is as it claims to be. This is what I thought the ultimate desktop 3d printer would do (besides multi material printing).

[HeyGears @HeyGears3D]

Meet the HeyGears G1 Series—the world’s first desktop full-color 3D and UV printer.
Full-color 3D printing, 3D texturing, and UV printing in one machine.

Will benefit a few grifters in tech. Not a long term winning strategy.

This humanoid ban is really stupid and decel. Not about cybersecurity but regulatory capture for US companies that can’t compete with China.

@REK only needs a few robots for fighting and are unrestricted by borders. But this not good for other startups using Chinese humanoids.

@alexkoch_ai @growing_daniel Woooooo head antennas!

Today, we’re launching Tau’s humanoid cleaning service in San Francisco at $30 per hour.

Access is initially invite-only as we scale operations. If you don’t have an invite yet, join the waitlist at https://t.co/JrRpjIzRZv.

All footage is shown at 1× speed. Each humanoid is jointly controlled by a human operator and AI.

We tied our robot up. One policy walks, jumps, and crawls. Restrain it and it finds its own way back to stable walking from a state we never scripted.
Behind it is our founder @RogerXJiang , an ex OpenAI scientist who worked on RLHF, the method behind ChatGPT. We're applying that same idea to robots: train one general policy instead of scripting each move. Follow us for more.

@CHENYAO981123 I really like this robot, glad to see it moving less like a lab prototype!

[Generalist @GeneralistAI]

Why create robot intelligence for just one hand, when we could have it learn from many?

GEN-1, our latest embodied foundation model, now supports a broad range of end effectors from 5-finger hands, to specialized tools, and everything in between.

[Generalist @GeneralistAI]

Nature didn’t converge on just a single solution for manipulating the physical world. It exploded into millions. You can see this everywhere in the diversity of life around us: from the beak of a bird, to the trunk of an elephant, from the suction pads of an octopus, to the pollen baskets of a honeybee.

The human hand is only a single point in a design space so large we’ve barely begun to map. For machines, five-fingered hands will just be one tool among many; limiting robots to only that would be a failure of imagination.

[Chris Paxton @chris_j_paxton]

Interestingly this is very clearly not an end to end policy or anything like that

A lot of the gains from robotics will come from robots being ubiquitous and cheap not from clever tech

[Nathan Peterman @NathanTylerP]

I am really struggling to tell if they just modified a Rainbow Robotics RB-Y1
