Thrilled that @EkaRobotics launch was covered by @WIRED as the big story, which says, "watching Eka's robotic claw feels like we're approaching the ChatGPT moment for the physical world".
We are not there yet, but it feels within reach. Let's build the future of robotics
Excited to be able to share what I've been working on for the past 6 months!
@EkaRobotics is building something really special, and our robots don't have to sacrifice speed or dexterity for generalization
Eka means unity -- “one,” in Sanskrit and “first” in Finnish.
We’re building intelligence for the physical world in its native language: forces.
Until now, robotics faced a tradeoff — generality or speed. The real world requires both. Robotics also faced a data problem.
Our
🧵In the world of physical AI, we’re used to seeing videos sped up to hide how slow robots actually are.
@EkaRobotics is doing the exact opposite.
They’re showing their robots at 1/25x speed because the movement is so fast and the force-sensitivity so precise, you’d miss
From sorting chicken nuggets to screwing in light bulbs, Eka’s robots are eerily lifelike. But do they have real physical smarts? wired.com/story/when-rob…

Until now, robotics stopped where the human hand begins.
Strong, but not delicate.
Precise, but not adaptive.
Repetitive, but not creative.
The human hand wasn’t a benchmark — it was a boundary.
We are crossing it.
@EkaRobotics.
Coming soon.
