KayraHumanoid

Kayra can walk four steps relatively straight now. Next, I'll free her from the cables to fine tune patterns for longer walks. #robot #3dprinted #OpenSource #Python #humanoid designed in @FreeCADNews

@WriterOfMinds Have a nice holiday!

I'm going on summer vacation tomorrow, so my presence on social media (and events like livestreams) may be light for the next week or more. I will return!

After a couple of months pause, starting to assemble Kayra again #robotics #biped #3Dprinting #kayra

@MeghanKReynolds How do you define "observable discipline"?

Heard from VC LPs this week: Skepticism in: - LLM investments: valuation, exit path, and ultimate revenue model - Valuation of AI & software deals, in general Enthusiasm for: - Long term AI opp set - public tech - VC funds w/ DPI & observable discipline

@scottmonaghan Good to hear that you also have such phases. I'll return to Kayra again soon.

Back in the workshop tonight. Been making lots of excuses not to go for weeks. Forced myself back tonight. Not sure exactly what I'm going to work on, but let's GOOOOOOO

@chris_j_paxton What's the battery run time?

Love this

@TacoCohen LLMs don't think. They store trajectories in a conceptual space that can be retrieved kind of efficiently.

Hardly anyone believes that LLMs learn or think the way humans do, but if you are instead looking for the essence of intelligence, compression (what LLMs are trained for) is a decent starting point.

@FreeCADNews @MeArmTM @jellysmash Thanks so much for featuring Kayra. Yes, @MeArmTM I've worked myself into freeCAD getting more efficient every day. I want to do some tutorials, let me know what you topics need.

@MeArmTM Follow @jellysmash (YT channel) and @KayraHumanoid

@chris_j_paxton NeRFs and CLIP. Two of my favourite recent concepts playing well together. Love it!

6dof object rearrangement from natural language commands - build object-centric NeRF of scene - generate plausible configurations and render to 2d - use CLIP (presumably GPT4V etc would work even better) to choose the best one - execute on hardware

@chris_j_paxton I'd be interested in price and battery run time. And maintainability.

@KayraHumanoid It looks incredibly capable, and no nonsense. BD remains the reigning champion of humanoids

This is by far the most impressive humanoid manipulation video I've seen so far

@repkord 😅

@KayraHumanoid I still am. 😂

Not the future we asked for, but potentially the one we deserve?? 🤔

@iotdesignshop Carbon, FTW!

A really cool shot of the amazing hybrid of organic supports on high tech #robot parts! Nature and technology merged. #3Dprinting #bambu

@ashemah that's actually a very interesting idea! need to think about that! the tricky part is to understand the geometry of the assembly process, i.e. how and in which order to get the servos in. i'll chew on that idea, thanks!

@KayraHumanoid What about printing the entire hip as one piece?

Old versus new hip design. Much easier to assemble. Pelvis servo wrong. Unfortunately, not really reduced in wiggle. Back to the drawing board! #robot #humanoid #opensource #robotics

@lambda_robot For me as a hobbyist, your progress within a week is fantastic! I've been able to build the IK for Kayra, next I need walk patterns to coordinate the legs. So I'm far away from MPC...

一週間の成果、と言いたいが、遊脚の足姿勢を制御しているだけでMPC制御は先週と同じ。着地時の足裏が地面を向いているのが先週からの僅かな進歩。 これも実機では通用しないと思う。

@brandonkxo @BambulabGlobal Just wanted to make sure that first layer is perfect without me doing anything. I'm SOOO fed up with calibrating printers. So the lidar convinced me to add more safety in that direction. I also like the 5 inch touch display and quality metal case.

Yes! In. The. House! #3dprinting @BambulabGlobal

@brandonkxo @BambulabGlobal Long story short: do it. Childish giggling when you watch it printing.

@brandonkxo @BambulabGlobal I only have it for a day. My first printer was a 130€ kit, the second the Prusa Mk3s 700€ also kit, this one prebuilt is 1200€ without multi colour. The Prusa mk4s prebuilt is the same price. I love the Bambu. It's the largest leap in terms of "just print, don't tinker".

@hackertwins I have hobbyist pressure sensors but they are crap. But using for switches in the four corners of a foot would give a bit more detailed information.

@KayraHumanoid I've always wanted to try this!

Micro switches as touch sensors for the feet. Let's see how that works! #robotics #biped #humanoid #opensource
