Time to build general-purpose robots, on hardware made in SF We are bringing @NASA @GoogleDeepMind @scale_AI and more at @ycombinator for a general-purpose robotics hackathon Each team will have a robot and compete across all Al modalities to make the coolest AI project ⬇️

We gave a tiny body to gpt-4o Fully autonomous, give it just one prompt Robot sees -> thinks -> does -> repeat Can also: • pick up trash • shake hands • talk with you All for $200 off-the-shelf Building a bigger version What should we have it do?

We gave a robot body to a GPT-4o AI agent. Here serving a glass from a human to another🍹 With only: • 30mn of arm demonstrations • A language prompt to guide it You can also teach it to clean, play, check in on you. What would you teach it? with @Vignesh_Robots

This is the year of mobile manipulators 🤖 We are soon releasing a small, affordable, open-source one for the AI & robotics community • Onboard compute • Smooth teleop • Complete suite of sensors + extensible Join our discord on @innate_bot's profile to build with us!

It's way more fun that I thought to teleoperate a robot to pick up my socks and put them away. It's like this little robot is my little puppet

Life update: I got in @ycombinator with @Vignesh_Robots to make @innate_bot 🤖 We are building AI for teachable robots. Our robots navigate, manipulate, and perform long-range tasks, zero-shot. If you are in Silicon Valley, feel free to reach out to get one or know more!

YC F24's @innate_bot is building teachable general-purpose robots for makers to build upon & customize. Their AI learns new tasks with a simple system prompt and <30 min of training per physical skill. ycombinator.com/launches/MHj-i… Congrats on the launch @ax_pey + @Vignesh_Robots!

@huggingface's LeRobot team is awesome Last week in Paris, their teleop was already up to 500Hz thanks to @HaixuanT's dora-rs. Feels very natural! Great work @RemiCadene and team! The year of robotics continues to 📈

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…

many roboticists are so cracked they don't realize how hard their work is to use if you pride yourself in making complex super easy to use, i want to hear from you

In the future AI Engineers won't replace us. Instead, we will orchestrate them! And that's what we built this weekend at the @MistralAI @cerebral_valley hackathon! · Spin up devs or reviewers · Define tasks for them on a board · Check their code on Github and more coming ⚡️

A pre-requisite to making general-purpose robotics mainstream is to make building robots simpler It REALLY does not have to be such a clusterf*ck
