Launching MakerMods Metal Arm. Finally ready to reveal the robot arm we've been building. Full CNC metal arm. 6-DoF, 3kg payload, gravity compensation leader arm. Limited supply launch price $2,499. pre-orders open now $99 deposit👇 @IsaacSin12 @makermodsai

@theonlyAyo bro you need to try the MakerMods Metal Arms

Fun week ahead 🦾 Also, no one warns you about how much laundry you're going to have to do when you have a baby. Hopefully this setup can help.

@GZinMetaverse Good work!

For the past 3 months, I've been heads down building and extending our multimodal data capture rig for Physical AI training. What you're seeing here is a single synchronized capture from our system — RGB, depth (stereo IR camera) feed; real-time 3D hand reconstruction, and a 23×20 tactile pressure grid from sensor gloves, all aligned and timestamped together. Getting here took a lot of unglamorous iteration. We reworked the pipeline to deliver clean, gap-free depth at scale after identifying early depth frame drops caused by data throughput bottlenecks in our capture box. We built per-channel calibration models that convert raw resistance signals from our flex sensor gloves into accurate, drift-corrected force values — solving the creep behavior that made a steady grip falsely appear to fade over time. Even though we’ve stayed quiet on socials, word of mouth spread — our rigs have already been deployed in data factories, manufacturing lines, and homes across the US, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia by our customers and ourselves. In the next few days, I'll be sharing more about how we're tackling rights-cleared data capture from the hardware level, and our closed-loop data-model flywheel — using model evaluation results to identify gaps and guide what data our customers need. More soon, stay tuned…

@sean_pixel microsd ❌ Picosd ✅

this is the hard part of the robotics deployment that no one tells you about our raspberry pi SD card fucking snapped in half

@theonlyAyo No better way to learn how to build XLeRobot

A small milestone at @GoDrift_ai this week - we received a new robot arm from @makermodsai and had it executing tasks within hours of opening the box. Two things made that possible: > Makermods built hardware that's genuinely easy to assemble. It's rare in this space and worth calling out > Drift is designed so that new hardware becomes useful immediately and not after weeks of integration We'll be running this arm on real-world tasks over the coming weeks and sharing what we learn, the good, the broken and the surprising. Stay tuned!

@nikhilkr @makermodsai It was a mad rush on our side to ship the arms over. And @GoDrift_ai executed this in record speed. Really impressed by this, looking forward to partnering up together to make more breakthroughs

@ed0henderson i can’t live without this, good tool choice

Finally you beautiful tool.

@TheHumanoidHub Come check out what we are building at MakerMods shenzhen office

I'll be on the ground in China for the next 17 days to get a firsthand look at the industrial explosion in humanoid robotics. The plan is to visit Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhejiang, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. If you're building humanoids or embodied AI and would like to meet, I'd love to. DMs are open. Landed in Hong Kong yesterday; it's beautiful.

@earthtojake this is amazing, even if it is for a video game or cgi movie asset

asked claude fable 5 to design a humanoid robot 2 hours and 1.4m tokens later, i got this absolutely insane

@maciint0sh TPU grippers?

I accidentally built Doc Ock’s arms

@ed0henderson Bro I feel you. I do this all the time.

A robotics company's nightly ritual is: > Send 3D prints to the P1S. #robotics #physicalAI

Robotics teams run VLA training overnight and wake up to crashed runs. They burn days testing different models to see which one fits. Today we are launching training Runs in Kite ML (@trainrobotsfast): test hundreds of dataset + model combos in parallel in the cloud, watch the loss curves, deploy the winner. Easier. Faster.

@ProfAdebay @BetterCallMedhi don't let anyone stop you from pivoting to hardware

@BetterCallMedhi c'mon, stop discouraging sf bro who's currently thinking of pivoting to hardware😂

a sf tech bro who just pivoted to hardware is competing against a kid from shenzhen who reballed his first chip before he lost his first tooth sit down

@shengkun_ye Can we sell robots this way?

just realized i paid for hinge with my company card do i start hiring interns there now

@rahim_mirani You might need a bit more desk space

time to train some policies 🤖

@robotsmasher1 Harvesrting grapes in Napa Valley? You should talk to @jmoonio

Just met an investor yesterday who asked if our robots could harvest grapes in Napa Valley. 🍇🤖🍷 Sushi Robot keeps attracting the most unexpected customers. 😂

@pham_blnh Is this a half a ping pong table?

this + graspnet + a vlm + motion planning will probably beat any public vla on the task they are normally benchmarked on still a long way to go
