About a dozen people sent me the Unitree announcement today. Makes sense, since I guess since K-Scale is the only American humanoid robot company with a product that you can actually buy. If you are American and you care about the future of robotics in this country, you should…
Warning: the $5.9K price is for a "DEMO" unit. Price of all Unitree products is subject to their EDU Scam. I consider this EDU pricing model a form of unfair marketing competition. Let me explain (disclaimer: personal opinion, happy to correct it if needed): These robots do…
I keep getting "Failed to create task" for OpenAI Codex (in the ChatGPT UI), anyone else run into this?
I was really impressed by the UMI gripper (@chichengcc et al.), but a key limitation is that **force-related data wasn’t captured**: humans feel haptic feedback through the mechanical springs, but the robot couldn’t leverage that info, limiting the data’s value for fine-grained…
Tactile interaction in the wild can unlock fine-grained manipulation! 🌿🤖✋ We built a portable handheld tactile gripper that enables large-scale visuo-tactile data collection in real-world settings. By pretraining on this data, we bridge vision and touch—allowing robots to:…
**𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Thanks to valuable feedback from our community, we've reduced the price of the DYNAMIXEL XL430 smart actuator, to make it more affordable than ever. Official US site: robotis.us #dynamixel #robotics #XL430 #physicalai
Our bartending robot just got upgraded! Touch sensing now detects your grip and releases the bottle automatically. Temperature sensors in its fingertips will know if your drink's hot or cold, and YOLO vision reaches where your hand is.
dynamixel version for everyone w koch arms!

we should do the opposite of what this person says friendliness and small talk are good, actually
Maybe it's just a midwestern thing, but can we please stop having the cashiers ask intrusive questions to the patrons as they check out? Cashier: "Do you have any big plans for the rest of the evening?" Me in my head because I'm polite: "I don't know you, I'm not sharing my…

Will never happen, but members of Congress should make $500K/year with strict prohibitions on gifts, stocks, and post-tenure lobbying etc. The President should make $1M per year at minimum. (Current salaries are $174K/year for Congress and $400k/year for President.)
