It’s also pretty cool that we are now bounded by hardware limit — for example, gripper not close fast enough to match the arm motion

NNadun Ranawaka Arachchige@NadunRanawakaA · Jun 20

We also found that SAIL is often bounded by hardware limits, such as gripper speed. SAIL could feasibly result in faster motions with more capable hardware. 9/

Despite advances in end-to-end policies, robots powered by these systems operate far below industrial speeds. What will it take to get e2e policies running at speeds that would be productive in a factory? It turns out simply speeding up NN inference isn't enough. This requires…

Tired of slow-moving robots? Want to know how learning-driven robots can move closer to industrial speeds in the real world? Introducing SAIL - a system for speeding up the execution of imitation learning policies up to 3.2x on real robots. A short thread: 1/

Russ's recent talk at Stanford has to be my favorite in the past couple of years. I have asked everyone in my lab to watch it. youtube.com/watch?v=TN1M6v… IMO our community has accrued a huge amount of "research debt" (analogous to "technical debt") through flashy demos and…

Super cool demos. Congrats @andyzeng_ and @peteflorence ! Robot learning is a full-stack domain. Even with e2e learning, need capable robots & good controllers to move fast at high precision.

Today we're excited to share a glimpse of what we're building at Generalist. As a first step towards our mission of making general-purpose robots a reality, we're pushing the frontiers of what end-to-end AI models can achieve in the real world. Here's a preview of our early…
