I’ve recently left the Tesla Optimus team to co-found Mondo Tech with my longtime friend and former DJI colleague, Soren. I’m incredibly appreciative of the opportunity to contribute to Elon’s vision for general-purpose humanoid robots. Optimus has pushed both technical frontiers…
This is very important for the robotics industry.
Been seriously thinking about building a vetted execution network across Asia, contract manufacturers, DFM, prototyping, QA, automation, and more, purpose-built for early-stage robotics startups in the Bay. Huge unlock if done right.
Dude I am telling you Chinese Yangs are awesome people. Or look at me.

Meanwhile as a founder I am studying @ericjang11’s 2016 post on variational method in order to understand VAE in order to understand diffusion policy in order to understand why people no longer talk about it anymore.
The number of startups trying to sell data to general purpose + humanoid robots companies seems to exceeds the number of actual robot startups. This is ... concerning. Do the hard thing. Hard things filter out competition. Optimize for the world you want to see, not your IRR
Proud of my wife @lexie_ma!
And that’s a wrap! My last day at @maticrobots came a little sooner than expected, as our family gets ready for a big move abroad for my husband's robotics startup adventure. What a ride it's been. Joining @maticrobots meant diving headfirst into a challenge that felt both…
Just noticed the star of Meta’s super AI team @jhyuxm followed me before. As an AI/robotics engineer, I feel more flattered than got followed by Cristiano Ronaldo. Congrats again @jhyuxm. It’s an honor to live in this era with you.
Congrats to @zhou_xian_ and @gs_ai_ for gathering a dream team to build future dreamland for robotics!
We’re excited to finally share what we’ve been assembling over the past few months! This is a field full of excitement and hope—but also one that’s constantly surrounded by noise and restlessness. In the waves of technological change, trends come and go, bubbles rise and burst,…
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
Bloomberg: Milan Kovac, the head of engineering for Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot program, is leaving the company effective immediately. Ashok Elluswamy, head of Tesla’s Autopilot team, will now oversee the Optimus program.
Kardashev 1 or you’re not even trying. @elonmusk Photos of mountains in China. One of them is taken in my hometown.
Congrats @Tesla_Optimus on the new video! Amazing progress. Grateful I got to contribute a lot to the control stack. Keep it up!
Was just getting warmed up
Feeling unreal. This is so cool.
Today @Tesla_Optimus made an appearance on Capitol Hill! No, Optimus wasn’t up here testifying on how he’s going to change the world. He was here as part of the Robot Symposium, and stood (and danced) for lawmakers to get to know him. Everyone was very friendly to him AND @Tesla.
Why bet everything on home robotics? Why tackle problems everyone thinks are already solved? Why a cameras-only approach? This first-ever behind-the-scenes look at Matic is packed with spills, surprises, and what Home Robotics 2.0 means for you🤖
Hardware Nation Ep. 1: Matic Robots uses Tesla FSD-inspired computer vision to reimagine home cleaning. @maticrobots is the first embodied AI robot that learns your home, habits, and cleans the way you like. This is the first-ever behind-the-scenes look. Thoughts on level-5…
Time travel may never possible: Despite Tesla Optimus progress, no Terminators from the future have come to stop @elonmusk or @Tesla_Optimus team. If possible, it’d have happened by now.
Without these noise, soon US will understand collaborate with China on more aspects is the right way to go.
Poison pen groups in Hong Kong and Taiwan secretly funded by the US to demonize China are set to crash, ASPI reported yesterday. The groups which spread tales about the "Uyghur genocide" and "oppressed" Hong Kong and Taiwan need emergency cash after the withdrawal of hidden…
