please make this go viral so I can pay for repairs our humanoid robot boy DeREK completely lost his mind @REKrobot

Palmer Luckey onstage with VR teleop as a humanoid robot in a FRICKEN WIG LOL. While very cool, @PalmerLuckey ping me next time we can do much better than this bro.

I have an absolutely viral potential video of my robot freaking out I just got out of the security camera, completely and absolutely bonkers. Considering posting it tomorrow, do I do it?

You think your team is cracked? We built a headset to headset wireless streaming on a humanoid robot in 2 days. @fewerwrong

Everyone scared about robots taking physical labor jobs, and my robot arm smoothie maker just failed for the 3rd fcking time at the gym. Yall safe for now.

Guys, if a humanoid malfunctions it’s absolutely fcking terrifying. These guys could absolutely kill you.

Working in VR for the last 10 years has been incredibly painful. For the first time in many years I feel like there is a use case in which there is no better solution. This is rare as VR is often a problem looking for a solution. It’s go time.

Some people are big mad about the robot fight and “SF tech culture” today. Let me be clear everyone knew the robot fights were ridiculous now. We knew it looks like two toddlers fighting. What makes SF culture different is that people trust the process. They know that while it…

I’m bringing the energy into robot fights. Just wait until they are 6 feet tall with weapons.

I fucking won #ufbautomata I’m the US champion of robot fighting who’s gonna fight me

SF moment

I’m at an underground robot fight in SF rn Why did they just pull my CEO in to pilot a robot? Is he gonna get his ass kicked?

The new normal at @REKrobot

Welcome @fewerwrong and @NimaZeighami to the REK @rekrobot team!!! Happy birthday AMERICA! Coming on as our CTO and CPO these geniuses are gonna make us fly like an eagle!! LETS GO!

Zuck acquired the entire VR space and turned it into a playground for autistic children. I wouldn’t be that scared about Meta acquiring a bunch of AI researchers because the initiation process for joining Meta is turning your brain into gelatin.

The two big technical discoveries for me on humanoids: 1. The real limit are thermals. Actuators overheat requiring cool down. Bigger issue than battery life. 2. Most balance using only IMUs, it allows for much quicker recovery and using vision is compute ex and much slower.

Look my boy is wireless! Testing full body wireless teleop for my humanoid boy Needs a lot of work on balancing, but it’s a start!
