@cremieuxrecueil It’s the jammer world record. Low key unimpressive that the margin was this tight with the whole body tech suit.

@aurel_arnold It’s possible your policy is just overfit to the data and the adherence from chunk to chunk is not as good as you’d want. Honestly i take it back, maybe plot some rollouts of your policy over an episode? Record teleop data, then run policy inference offline and plot the chunks

@davehpitt This should help with general smoothness of the policy in my understanding, but how about the jumps when handing over control back to the policy?

DAgger-style intervention now works with the Quest. I sometimes get ugly “jumps” when handing over control to the policy though. Caused by OOD states the ACT policy hasn’t learned smooth actions for yet?

Now I know why it didn’t feel natural. Two issues: 1. DLS over all 6 joints couples position and orientation. Wrist motions lead to elbow swings. 2. WebXR reports controller pose somewhere at the palm, but you naturally rotate around your wrist. Fixed with Pieper-style decoupling + a 5-sec in-VR wrist-twist calibration.

What’s a more advanced candy for a guy who’s looking to level up? I eat a lot of beginner candies, gummies and dried fruits and such.

Coding agents still make everything annoyingly fault-tolerant. Just crash! I get that theyve been tortured in simulation for an eternity in human years to prevent code from crashing but i haven't!

Proud to see our collaboration with @physical_int featured on @LightconePod. Earlier this year, we worked with PI to run their foundation model on our Gen 1 robots, deployed in real customer warehouses, autonomously working for full shifts. As we roll out Operator, we're excited to be pushing even harder on autonomy and performance.

Physical Intelligence (@physical_int) is building a foundation model that can control any robot to do any task — what the team describes as the GPT moment for robotics. The company's cross-embodiment approach trains across many different robot platforms, and recent results show tasks being performed zero-shot that last year required hundreds of hours of data collection. In this episode of the @LightconePod , co-founder Quan Vuong (@QuanVng) sat down with @garrytan, @snowmaker, @sdianahu, and @harjtaggar to talk about why robotics is finally ready for its scaling moment, how PI runs its models in the cloud rather than on-device, and the playbook for what Quan sees as a Cambrian explosion of vertical robotics companies. 00:00 — Robotics just got cheaper 00:41 — The GPT moment for robotics 02:24 — Why robots didn’t work before 05:30 — The breakthrough that changed everything 09:12 — The data problem 13:33 — Robots learning without data 15:05 — Robots folding laundry (for real) 22:18 — From engineering problem → ops problem 29:12 — The startup playbook 38:46 — Thousands of robotics startups are coming

If you had two software engineering offers: > One pays you $500k/year salary, but covers zero LLM tokens. > One pays you $400k/year salary, but gives you $500/day free LLM tokens. Which one are you taking?
