Eka Robotics, Inc.

Thrilled that @EkaRobotics launch was covered by @WIRED as the big story, which says, "watching Eka's robotic claw feels like we're approaching the ChatGPT moment for the physical world". We are not there yet, but it feels within reach. Let's build the future of robotics together – whether you are a researcher, engineer, or a product/program manager, we are hiring: jobs.ashbyhq.com/ekarobotics I am grateful to be working alongside an amazing team and proud of what we have accomplished so far. We are scaling up our foundation model, a Vision-Force-Action Model (VFA) for dexterous manipulation and real-world applications through customer deployments. @willknight from WIRED brought his own objects to play with our robots, and Eka's systems worked. Robots will never be slow again. Powered by Eka's tech, they are fast, reliable, general, and safe!

Excited to share some of my work at @EkaRobotics these last 6 months! It takes a one-of-a-kind team threading the needle of research and engineering to hit this level of swiftness and repeatability. The arm truly behaves like an animal :)

Excited to be able to share what I've been working on for the past 6 months! @EkaRobotics is building something really special, and our robots don't have to sacrifice speed or dexterity for generalization

Eka means unity -- “one,” in Sanskrit and “first” in Finnish. We’re building intelligence for the physical world in its native language: forces. Until now, robotics faced a tradeoff — generality or speed. The real world requires both. Robotics also faced a data problem. Our Vision–Force–Action (VFA) model — the first of its kind — breaks the generality-speed tradeoff and the data barrier. It's a new foundation uniting performance, generality, and safety for putting capable robots in everyone's hands. Today, I am excited to share our journey of pushing robots beyond human limits. Today, dexterity becomes scalable. Today, I welcome you to the Era of Eka. Co-founded with @haarnoja, and so thrilled and grateful to be working with a dream team at @EkaRobotics.

From sorting chicken nuggets to screwing in light bulbs, Eka’s robots are eerily lifelike. But do they have real physical smarts? wired.com/story/when-rob…

We don't speed up our videos. We slow them down. 1/25x. @EkaRobotics.

Forces are the language of the physical world. At @EkaRobotics, we're building a Vision-Force-Action Model (VFA).

Until now, robotics stopped where the human hand begins. Strong, but not delicate. Precise, but not adaptive. Repetitive, but not creative. The human hand wasn’t a benchmark — it was a boundary. We are crossing it. @EkaRobotics. Coming soon.
