btw, for anyone that needs to hear it the 3D printed 6+1DoF arm files are open source now. you can literally print this stiff beast on your bambu p1s, zero milling involved!! super stiff and smooth for precise teleoperation and deploying policies. github.com/robertorobotic…

@dAmineKharrat Too bad would have been cool!

@robertorobotics Cool! Was going as well had to cancel last minute

Btw will participate at this Hackathon this weekend. Wish me luck. Will post some thoughts the next days. So no Nextis development till next week! First time working with a unitree go2.

@El__Yaq ofc it’s awesome to see this kind of dedication!

@robertorobotics Thank you fellow roboticist 😁

We can't keep waiting for the world to bring industrial automation to Nigeria. We have to start building it ourselves. After 300+ hours of non-stop fabrication, spending more than 5kg in material, and gathering hundreds of individual components, this is the foundation of a 6-axis robotic arm built entirely from scratch. They say hardware is hard. Doing it here is even harder. But holding the pieces of what this could become is a feeling I can't quite describe. Let's see if all the math was right. Assembly begins tomorrow.

@VorobiovEugene 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@robertorobotics Good luck!

@theonlyAyo 🫡🫡 Will post updates. btw will start tnkr integration next week.

@robertorobotics Go for it man ! you've got the hot hand..

@zeynabdamilola too kind

@robertorobotics NGL, it's a good job

@zeynabdamilola Yess that’s what’s going to come next. But with advantage conditioning 👀👀

@robertorobotics Honestly, it's an amazing job. More data required

this is the baseline policy without the shift architecture, on 50 episode. (RTC enabled). If u wanna see bro struggle to just insert one part :/ Get ready for next week how the performance will be with my custom SHIFT architecture.

@zeynabdamilola 🫡🫡 do my best!

@robertorobotics Good luck brother, I wish you nothing but success

@JasonrShuman This is exactly why I build the assembly cell. To be useful from day one after a quick training.

The best robotics wedge nobody’s talking about: Industry-specific form factor → teleop deployment → proprietary workflow data → agentic automation layer on top built into the systems of the end customer → full autonomy explodes margin over time Lower COGs than general-purpose humanoids. Real revenue on day one. Switching costs before you’ve touched autonomy. Distribution, cost structure, process power, counter-positioning and cornered resources are moats. Robots aren’t exempt from this.

Prob. unpopular opinion but I totally resonated with Andreessen's statement on introspection. I found this was the biggest change in my thinking the last couple of years. No more mourning the past or the future. Just GO! Full throttle. The self is an illusion. As if there is anything deeper beyond our day-to-day thoughts. Like the REAL person underneath. From my experience, this person does not exist. You can reinvent who you are every second that you are alive. It's not like you need permission or to convince that "underlying REAL you." Simply an illusion. Just go out and do/be whatever you want.

No cool demo today. Process took longer than expected. Training will be done by 4 am... LFG

@VorobiovEugene its pretty good ;)

@robertorobotics 🙏🙏🙏

crack a cold one

@batsuev_es *that’s lol

@batsuev_es thanks so awesome! W Alex

Last week, we visited my daughter's school to celebrate STEM Week and talk about AI and what we are building.🤖 The kids learned about how AI is trained, got to operate ElRobot, and met Dogzilla! It was truly amazing to see how engaged they were and to hear the deep, thoughtful questions they asked. #AI #Robotics

@masonhensley Thanks, will look into that!

@robertorobotics Have you seen best practices for stiffening up extruded cells? I just made a 3030 and feel like I need to tear it down. Maybe the corner pieces I used are junk. Adding a 45 degree support helped in one axis, but I feel like it’s not common practice.

time to make my cell more stiff.

@fdotinc i build the universal assembly cell! nextis.tech/blog/the-unive…

we've backed 304 founders. 50% were international. France, Canada, Argentina, India, New Jersey... none of them got funded because of where they live. they got funded because they posted what they were building. who's next?

@hthieblot I build the universal assembly cell! nextis.tech/blog/the-unive…

Looking for obsessed builders. I invest up to $250K first checks in: • Robotics, drones, space • Applied AI/ML, models • Dev tools and infra • Manufacturing & logistics, and more... DMs open or just reply here what you are building. Early > polished.
