While VCs and the shopfloor debate whether humanoids will ever leave the warehouse, a group of students in Zürich asked a different question entirely: What if we skip the warehouse... and build for orbit? ORBIT's new platform HELIOS drops May 27. I've been following this project since IKARUS (their first prototype). Shipped in two months, tested under real operational constraints. HELIOS is the next chapter. And the design choice that caught my attention: four arms, four hands. Not two. Four. Because in microgravity, two arms isn't the constraint, rather a starting point. The problem they're solving is real: 35% of astronaut time goes to maintenance. One cargo unloading cycle: 50 hours. Cost per astronaut hour: $140,000. The most expensive human beings on the planet are spending their time moving boxes. ORBIT's argument is simple: that time belongs to science. 📌 ETH Fokus-Rollout, May 27, CLA Glashalle, Zürich.

@orbitrobotics So rewarding to finally have our work be visible! 2 semesters of grinding and finally a product!

The future has arrived! After a long wait, we are finally ready to reveal our complete space humanoid HELIOS. After two semesters of intense work, research and iteration, this is what we have to show. 4 arms. 4 hands. 1 vision. 1 dream.

It’s so shocking, realising how productive you can be on a good nights sleep. Completely recontextualises the grind

@LauraModiano @ETH @katzschmann @Thom_Wolf Thanks for coming by! It was a pleasure to show you around the lab!

In today's installment of parenting in tech: visiting the Robotics Lab at @ETH to see the incredible Prof @katzschmann's team projects with @Thom_Wolf and our kids

We have released an updated version of our Crohn’s disease framework. Using 500k+ ileal cells, we show that Crohn’s disease cannot be reliably reduced to a single layer. These findings point towards an emerging clinical strategy. zenodo.org/records/192108…

Hyped to be building stuff. Team work makes the dream work.

@punk1685 done

@clownworld What if I’m into it
