Working on @prosper: general purpose robots which serve us in homes / businesses. The future can be wonderful if we make it so
An early timelapse video of Alfie, the general purpose teleop robot we've been building at @prosper Here it cleans a kitchen table, wipes the surface, rinses dishes in the sink before placing them in the dishwasher, throws trash, and puts other items away.
This could be the direction for the data pipeline for general intelligence in my opinion. It's really cool how much these robots can do, very clear the bottleneck is AI not being there yet
Nicer video of Alfie cleaning an office.. next up, we’re working with Buck Lewis ( issuu.com/risd/docs/risd… ) to redesign Alfie to be more ✨🫧⚡️
Coming back from a week in a poorer city in the Philippines.. the hope for millions of people at call centres and outsourcing companies is now that they aggressively lead in adoption of AI and benefit from the increased productivity, instead of waiting for eventual decline
in an automated economy, the special purpose machines get built by increasingly general purpose machines. at the base level you have general purpose robots which make factories if that happens, let's hope it's good for all and not some crazy scenario - marshallbrain.com/manna1
the form factor which makes sense for a general purpose robot probably differs based on the environment in which it operates. different indoors, in the wilderness, ocean, air, and floating in space. they might also be different depending on the scale they operate at

We decided to rent a warehouse and set up a lost PLA investment casting line ourselves lol — this is the first test part. Surface quality should dramatically improve in the next few weeks with tweaks to the process
Would be cool if someone tried making turnkey lost PLA casting with chemical surface finishing a thing.. 3D print part with PolyCast PVA/support, chemical surface finish in a chamber, dip in slurry, dry slurry, burn off PLA in furnace, pour in metal in next furnace, break off…

Prosper Robotics has built a robot that can do the cleaning, the dishes and the laundry, bringing a Jetsons-style future closer than ever sifted.eu/articles/robot…
The general purpose robotics race probably comes down to who gets to 10k-100k robots deployed first, to get the data needed
Just had a @prosper robot clean up my living room while I was showering, remotely piloted... Feels like having a futuristic friend taking care of you, very comforting. We need a "prosper freeze" voice command though for coming out of the shower 😂
