2nd place overall in the Robotics Hackathon! amazing experience and incredible weekend

pi0.5 is highkey not that bad the below demo is a direct deployment of the pi0.5 on the Unitree G1, zero-shot performance

Just in time for the Argentina vs. Spain! 🇦🇷🇪🇸 Built an end-to-end pipeline for the Unitree G1 to play soccer: picking up the ball, dynamically avoiding humans, throwing it! Incredible sprint @AdityaBangde @stisov16 @ValentinBurov @zerogalactic @ConnerProvins @charlesjavelona

@MissionRobotBay I’d love to help with mechanical things at the event, I’m super handy with robots and currently working on humanoid robots at Rek, former leader of a world finalist robotics team I would also be happy to volunteer at this event and any others

Announcing: The Embodied Metal Hackathon! Happening Jul 17-19 in San Francisco's Mission. Three days in a factory loft with real robots, hacking to make them do something wild. We're packing the floor with the best founders, developers, and mad scientists across Embodied AI. If you'd rather make your AI *do* things – in the real world! – instead of just write about them, this event is for you. Hosts and sponsors: @MissionRobotBay, @savant_vc, @newtheoryai, and @NorthstarRobots, with compute from @modal. Space very limited, so apply early: luma.com/embodied-metal

you get better at doing things by doing things

REK is looking to hire a sales/ops and a RL (reinforcement learning) person that is/can be based in SF. Come build real steel with us, will be the coolest thing you ever do.

T-800 walking around Brooklyn tonight with @REK. Everyone is fascinated to see it out in the wild.

@rohankalia_ I’m also in SF for the week, would love to meet and chat about robots

i’m in SF this week: if you are training/building/thinking/learning/reading something cool i would love to meet you! the opportunity to make friends with new faces is one of the most precious joys of life, so please, do reach out! :)

@hthieblot I applied

Last day to apply! For the most ambitious students and recent grads: Come to SF, build alongside ambitious founders, and get your company started. I hope to see you there. Reply below if you’ve applied.
