BitRobot 🦾

The world's open robotics lab is entering its next phase. Contribute robotics work. Level up your lab access. Applications open soon.

@LeRobotHF @huggingface The hardware is here. The data is open. Go build 🦾

The largest open-source humanoid teleop dataset EVER just dropped on @LeRobotHF @huggingface huggingface.co/datasets/BitRo… We re-encoded the full dataset into LeRobot format: ~10TB → ~2TB, no loss of fidelity. Same trajectories, a fraction of the footprint, far easier to stream and train on. Explore the dataset in LeRobot Visualizer: live 3D render of the robot, synced camera feeds, subtask annotations and language instructions, all in your browser. Most importantly: Unitree G1 is supported in LeRobot, meaning you can load HIW-500 and start training imitation / VLA policies on 20,000 real-home humanoid episodes on your G1. Huge thanks to @BitRobotNetwork for sharing the data. Go build. 🤖

@UnitreeRobotics Robot butlers are coming 🦾

We're excited to support BitRobot in open-sourcing the largest humanoid whole-body teleoperation dataset collected in real homes. We hope it accelerates progress toward general-purpose humanoid robots.😉

8/ Full 10TB dataset in ROSbag + @LeRobotHF ↓ Dataset: huggingface.co/datasets/BitRo… LeRobot: huggingface.co/datasets/BitRo… For research / commercial use of the expanded HIW-500 dataset → bitrobot-foundation.github.io/humanoids-in-t… or reach out to us directly!

7/ This project represents months of work alongside incredible partners. Anyone who has tried teleoperating a humanoid robot knows how challenging it is. Collecting thousands of high-quality whole-body demonstrations inside real homes is an entirely different level of difficulty. Huge thanks to @UnitreeRobotics for the hardware support. And to @huggingface for partnering with us once again after our previous work on open-sourcing large-scale urban navigation datasets.

1/ Introducing HIW-500 (Humanoids-in-the-Wild 500): the largest open-source humanoid teleop dataset collected in real homes Built w/ @UnitreeRobotics @huggingface across 12 homes in Southeast Asia, it covers: > 500+ hrs > 23K+ episodes > 10+ TB > 10+ household tasks

A few weeks ago, @SemiAnalysis_ published a deep dive on how Unitree's G1 humanoid is crossing the deployment threshold — 3x revenues, 67% gross margins, ~250 units already in productive pilots. The hardware story is written. The data story is unfolding tomorrow. Stay tuned. 🦾

@clawpumptech 🦾🦾🦾

Over 80 teams from leading universities and robotics labs have registered interest in the 1st phase of our Grand Challenges at @ieeeras IROS 2026. Tracks: • Earth Rovers Challenge • Humanoid IKEA Assembly • Origami Folding Registrations close July 3.

@lagunacarta @vibhu 🦾🦾🦾

Most robotics companies scale by hiring more operators. Networks scale by recruiting more contributors. Helium scaled wireless. Hivemapper scaled mapping. Physical AI will be built the same way: coordinated globally on @solana, not inside a single lab.

@RoboStrategy Congrats! 🦾

RoboStrategy has raised ~$28.9M through private share issuance Completed through private placements with institutional investors at a weighted average price of $36.28 Full press release here: globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

@ConejoCapital @solana @clawpumptech 👀

there's a team bringing a physical ai competition to @solana on @clawpumptech would love to connect with teams working on robotics, agent to agent communication, or gaming setups building, like @BitRobotNetwork i think you'll like what they're launching this summer!

gbot, 134 missions are live on SN/04: @axisrobotics. 134 opportunities to earn rewards from both BitRobot and Axis ecosystem. Who is joining? 🦾

@nayonD007 More updates coming soon

@BitRobotNetwork I was waiting for such a big update. Gbot

1/ Last year we announced the $5M Grand Challenges Fund Our goal: to accelerate physical AI w/ open model competition + shared benchmarks in dexterity, manipulation, and navigation The 1st phase of the competition is coming to IROS 2026. Deadline to submit: July 3. Join us ↓

5/ All three challenges are free and open to enter — hardware, sim, and open datasets provided. Register by July 3 ↓ Grand Challenges site: bitrobot.ai/grand-challeng… 🤖 earth-rover-challenge.github.io ✋ robotic-origami-challenge.github.io 🦾 …oid-ikea-assembly-challenge.github.io

4/ GC/03: Manipulation — Humanoid IKEA Assembly Challenge Can a humanoid assemble a flat-pack on its own? Unitree G1 humanoids autonomously assemble an IKEA UTTER children's table, benchmarked against skilled human assemblers on outcome and time. No teleop. Overview: …oid-ikea-assembly-challenge.github.io
