Humanity is at a turning point.
I am launching UMA to build general-purpose mobile and humanoid robots from Europe.
Proud to start with people I admired for years, and grateful for all your support!
Reach out to us @UMA_Robots ❤️
Big news for me. I left Tesla!
I’ve been very fortunate to be part of the Autopilot and Optimus teams.
Five years ago, I started as an intern with Andrej, witnessing the impressive achievements of a small team. At this time, I improved the neural backbone, a fundamental module
The wait is finally over!!! 😁
We just dropped an in-depth tutorial on how to build your own robot!
Teach it new skills by showing it a few moves with just a laptop.
Then watch your homemade robot act autonomously 🤯

I used to drive them myself during the big Tesla Model 3 push.
We received a mail from oncle Elon asking everyone, AI researchers included, to stop everything and go help at the factory to save @Tesla
Not only we brought a lot of energy, but we also identified blockers and
NEWS: New Tesla vehicles from the Fremont factory now officially drive themselves autonomously 1.2 miles to their designated loading dock without any human intervention!
Here is the full clip:
After 3 years @Tesla and Optimus, I am thrilled to announce that I joined Hugging Face to start an ambitious open robotics project! (open as in open-source, not as in Open AI) Looking for engineers to build real robots in Paris 🇫🇷 apply.workable.com/huggingface/j/… 🤖🤗
First attempt at folding a shirt 😱
- Neural network predicts future motors position from camera inputs
- Cameras of iPhone and Macbookpro
- Robot arms cost 300$ each
- Training over 100 examples takes half a day on Apple silicon
Do it yourself with github.com/huggingface/le… ⭐
HOT 🔥 fastest, most precise, and most capable hand control setup ever...
Less than $450 and fully open-source 🤯
by @huggingface, @therobotstudio, @NepYope
This tendon-driven technology will disrupt robotics! Retweet to accelerate its democratization 🚀
A thread 🧵
A banger just got released 💥
Here is a snapshot of L2D, the biggest self-driving dataset by far!
- 90 TeraBytes of data
- 5000 hours of driving
- 6 surrounding HD cameras
- OPENLY AVAILABLE
- Train your car to drive like @Tesla at home

🔥 Hot release: Aloha unleashed
World first demonstration of a robot able to tie shoelaces or hang t-shirts autonomously!
They trained a diffusion policy at scale: 26,000 demonstrations over 5 tasks on Aloha 2 robot
Retweet if you'd like them to open-source 😝

⭐ The first foundational model available on @LeRobotHF ⭐
Pi0 is the most advanced Vision Language Action model. It takes natural language commands as input and directly output autonomous behavior.
It was trained by @physical_int and ported to pytorch by @m_olbap
👇🧵
🚨 BIG MILESTONE! 🚨
@deepseek_ai R1 brings us closer to robots with reasoning abilities 🤖✨
Inspired by RL at scale, we hit highest rewards in just 5 mins of async + distributed RL training on robotics task! 🏆⚡
It used to take hours on H100 before. Game changer. 🚀
Optimus can now sort objects autonomously 🤖
Its neural network is trained fully end-to-end: video in, controls out.
Come join to help develop Optimus (& improve its yoga routine 🧘)

Meet LeRobot, my first library at @huggingface robotics 🤗
The next step of AI development is its application to our physical world. Thus, we are building a community-driven effort around AI for robotics, and it's open to everyone!
Take a look at the code: github.com/huggingface/le…
Meet the game-changer: SO-100 🦾
Crafted by @therobotstudio and @huggingface 🤗
At 1/3 the cost and 2x the capabilities of our previous arms, it's the most accessible, high-performance robotic arm for $115. Easiest DIY at home!
