I’ll be judging and helping out with the SF instance of the @LeRobotHF hackathon this weekend! Please say hi if you see me, and feel free to reach out. Huge thank you to @BitRobotNetwork for hosting!
LeKiwi mobile robot with an SO100 arm onboard and adapted to use a Koch arm as leader arm. All wonderful open source designs from the @LeRobotHF @huggingface community. You can assemble it yourself with 3D printed parts and off the shelf electronics. Next stop: train a VLA model…
Do we really have AGI if it can only manipulate the bits?
cool work!
I *tried* making a smaller version of LeKiwi by @sigrobotics / @LeRobotHF Turns out it's too small and leans forward with the arm stretched out. Still a pretty cool robot though, but I'll take the arm off for now Will be made open source after a few modifications..
coming soon if you're a company or individual interested in sponsoring us so we can build more projects like LeKiwi, please reach out!
Meet the game-changer: LeKiwi 🥝 Crafted by @sigrobotics and @huggingface At 1/10 the cost of the best alternative out there, it's the most accessible mobile base for $300. Easier DIY to automate chords at home! 1/ 🧵 Link and details in thread 👇

🌷 All of the robotics events @nvidia GTC 🌷 An @opencvlive tutorial on the @IntrinsicAI Bin Picking Challenge at @CVPR 🌷 Roboto AI on data exploration 🌷 New TurtleBot3 and TurtleBot 4 tutorials 🌷 @ROSIndustrial makes perception and manipulation easy. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
another arm almost done... ...and can someone buy us a bambulab 🥺🙏
mujoco xml for lekiwi mostly works need to fix joint limits, make the colors less ugly, fix some other random bugs, then open-source will probably add a basic teleop script too stay tuned!
HuggingFace LeKiwi - i really like this design for a mobile robot.
welcome lekiwi 🥝!
