Announcing @xdofai: We’ve raised $70 million to build the core robotic infrastructure ecosystem for robot foundation models. My cofounders Fred (@YideShentu), Nemo (@itsnemojin) and I have been pursuing the dream of general purpose robots for our entire lives. After work at

🎉Excited to share a fun little hardware project we’ve been working on. GELLO is an intuitive and low cost teleoperation device for robot arms that costs less than $300. We've seen the importance of data quality in imitation learning. Our goal is to make this more accessible 1/n

Introducing Masked Trajectory Modeling (MTM), a new general-purpose framework for sequential decision making. A single transformer trained with MTM can exhibit multiple capabilities by simply choosing different masking patterns at inference time. Accepted at ICML 2023. 🧵👇

Really nice article from @ericjang about actuators in robotics. Great to see @1x_tech place such an emphasis on design. Safety through compliance and backdrivability were some of the core themes behind our BLUE project back in the day (berkeleyopenrobotics.github.io). Some thoughts 👇

Two robot arms move at the same speed, driven by different actuators with the same mass. The first arm collides with a table with a gentle tap. The second arm collides with the table, destroying both arm and table. Read this blog post to see why! 🦾💥 evjang.com/2024/08/31/mot…

In Daydreamer, we found it helpful to protect the robot in situations like this👇. Sharing the turtle shell I designed and hope it will be useful to other researchers! github.com/wuphilipp/robo…

New work with @YideShentu! We present Latent Code as Bridges🌉 or LCB. We leverage LLMs for robotics by finetuning the LLM to output latent embeddings to control the lower level policy. This hierarchical approach enables end2end training while maintaining the advantages of LLMs!

We have released the hardware files and instructions for GELLO 🦾! See the updated website wuphilipp.github.io/gello_site/. Here's a video of me assembling it start to finish in 30 min! GELLO is also at CoRL this week, see 👇 for details

Excited to share our paper DayDreamer! We test the Dreamer algorithm on 4 robots and learn from scratch with no simulators. Really enjoyed collaborating with @AleEscontrela and @danijarh to make this a reality. Thanks to @Ken_Goldberg and @pabbeel for their guidence and support!

A dream come true! We introduce DayDreamer, where we apply world models for fast end-to-end learning on 4 physical robots, without simulators. We learn quadruped walking from scratch in 1 hour. We also learn to pick & place balls directly from pixels and sparse rewards 🤖🌏👇

We have also released the code for GELLO: Please see github.com/wuphilipp/gell…. Please share if you make and use GELLO in your own projects! Contributions are welcome and appreciated!

A new arm has been added to the GELLO family by @a_dob 🎉! This GELLO is designed for the AR4, by Annin Robotics (anninrobotics.com), a low cost desktop sized robot you can build yourself! Seems like a fun option to explore for researchers and hackers!

Replying to @philippswu
We can also use GELLO for fine-grained manipulation tasks like extracting some floss. 11/n
