@hegemon1984 @MartinLukasMD @adcock_brett this video is CGI. Its done with Movella Motion suits and Blender and Unreal engine, theres a video on youtube.

@MartinLukasMD @adcock_brett Wow! I can't see any practical use for those two, but it's amazing how far we've come with robotics :D Very smooth movements.

Humanoid robots doing laundry and now dishes, what do you want next?

One way of thinking about these results — this is the widest diversity of complex tasks I’ve *ever* seen performed by *any* robot. Finally, something actually exceeds the ~2010 PR1 videos :) Also to clarify the video below is teleop, but they have autonomous results for a smaller set but still impressive mix of tasks. Amazing work @zipengfu @tonyzzhao @chelseabfinn

@mrdoob better support for newer hardware, most companies write their drivers for windows, and put a tiny team on supporting linux half-heartedly.

Why do people still use Windows?

RT-X: generalist AI models lead to 50% improvement over RT-1 and 3x improvement over RT-2, our previous best models. 🔥🥳🧵 Project website: robotics-transformer-x.github.io

@phoboslab Chrome Gamepad support is pretty good !

That took a bit of fiddling! (Web version has no joystick support or persistent save data yet, but it's a start...)

@phoboslab love that game's input mechanics and soundtrack.

Now running with buttery smooth 3800 fps. Still lot's of room for improvement, but I think I'll leave it at that.

@haqhuy’s new project: *Scaling up* robot data collection using LLM for ✅ task decomposition ✅ reward formulation *Distill down* into visuomotor policies that ✅ operate from raw sensory input ✅ improve overtime. Check out the engaging Q&A here 😉 cs.columbia.edu/~huy/scalingup/

We just released our work on robot soccer. I've been working on this for quite some time with my amazing colleagues at DeepMind. It's exciting how deep RL can produce such beautiful behaviors with low-cost robots. Full paper is available at arxiv.org/abs/2304.13653 Enjoy!

@haarnoja amazing work we could never do that at robocup.

@tehlike my kids use minecraft for heating.

@karasusan Hi i wanted to contact you

We built PaLM-E 🌴🤖 one of the largest multimodal language models to date, trained end-to-end on robot data. Images, text, state inputs, neural scene embeddings – you name it. And it's fantastic on robots. Check out Danny's thread 👇

@sdamico should all fit into an atmel , no ?

Meta-question amid all the AI hype — let’s imagine you run a hardware business with a large potential software component. What’s going to change in the 2-3 year window that enables different near term prioritization?

@jmdenisme @Blender wow im going to print this.

Fast way to create complex shapes in @Blender

@tehlike I always liked clippy, i think the printing animation was pretty genius.

@ID_AA_Carmack or just fix them with 4 balls of PU foam from a spray can

them lying flat and they wouldn’t go anywhere in anything short of tornado winds. I started out with a SolArk 5k charger/inverter, but while it could run all the loads in the container, it would fail when an RV was also plugged in and tying to start the AC. Upgraded to a 12K. \

After years of thinking about it, I finally built a little off-grid solar system this year. I learned a lot. I made a clamp-on structure out of unistrut for 12 panels on a 40’ container, but the mounting structure cost about as much as the panels. I could have just left \

@tehlike free messaging vs paid sms ?

@natfriedman sound effect generation

If Riffusion works, what else should we try?

@tehlike If its really in Wyoming, then you could do with peanuts !
