To build an animated robot that's full of life, we are trying to understand how springiness and damping can be invoked on our robot (ex. when you touch it to say hello!). Some early examples of how we are using current control to do this @humancomplab

we briefly turned into a game studio!

robots and games have not crossed paths - so we ran an experiment where LeLamp became the controller to play a simple version of space invaders we map the motor position to the 3d environment and use mechanics that already exist to do things like reloading @humancomplab

would you like a hat?

Robotics is hard. Things are always breaking. Like a living thing that refuses to behave. It’s a systems problem. You’re making mechanics, electronics, firmware, software, motion, power, heat, etc. orchestrate together at an abstraction which should feel natural for human interaction . Despite that, it is deeply rewarding and the mission becomes clearer - to make something truthful, sincere and masterful. Building with these principles as mental model has helped me evolve both as a builder and human. At @humancomplab I'm bringing artists, animators and engineers to understand how can we reshape our attachment to technology. Pilots for LeLamp will start in 2026. Some things will break as most hardware does in its early days, but it will be the glimpse of a world where magic can exist as I always imagined it to.

Human Computer Lab is now backed by @southpkcommons and @FR8.
We are researching and building expressive robots.
Our journey will be long, and this marks the start.

Today we are opensourcing a new design for LeLamp.
We made a video explaining our process. From sketch to simulation in 14 days.
There will be more updates in the coming weeks. We are constantly iterating and aiming to create the best experience for building expressive robots.

For the past 3 weeks, we have been building a real life Pixar lamp.
After receiving a lot of questions from the community, I decided to make a brief video explaining the entire process behind LeLamp, from design to simulation.
If you have any question, feel free to hit me up on X or over our Discord: discord.gg/727JXBt8Zt

Do you want LeLamp to be sassy or joyful?
