New control stack for TRLC-DK1: Joint-space PD + gravity compensation Before vs. after:

The aesthetics of robot learning:

TRLC-DK1 v0.3 is out! We did some cool upgrades: - USB3.0 cams → USB3.1 can easily handle 3x 720p60 MJPEG streams - LeRobot plugin support → it will auto-detect the trlc_dk1 package - More robust mechanical parts & electronics Full changelog: github.com/robot-learning…

We (@FeduniakS, @PashaRizali) have been basically living in the lab working non-stop to push physical AI fordward. We are building a robotics stack of the future for continual and reliable deployment of physical AI systems. Thanks a lot @JannikGrothusen for lending us the arms!

Data collection while the office above having "drumming team building" is a test of patience.

`crazy_random_light` is one of the domain randomization options in RoboTwin 2. The clip features DK1 arms which I recently ordered from TRLC ⁦(@JannikGrothusen⁩). I now created a URDF for synth data collection and visualization.

Thanks for delivering the robots safe n sound @JannikGrothusen Check them out at @RobotLearningCo 🤖

Today I fixed the follower arms to a profile bar and started experimenting with new leader–follower setups. This speaker desk I found on Amazon is the first of three. I like the laptop‘s position in the bottom tray: Doesn’t block view and still accessible for quick code changes. What I still haven’t figured out is the ideal horizontal distance between both the leader and follower arms to make teleop feel more natural.

All the parts going into @JannikGrothusen‘s arms

One of the most affordable and high quality bimanual platform out there ;)

Introducing TRLC-DK1-X: An accessible humanoid data collection platform. It features two 6+1 DOF leader-follower arm pairs and three ultra-wide FOV cameras, integrated for learning static, bimanual manipulation tasks. Order now for $4,999.

A small but powerful modification to the GELLO handle: mounting it at a 45° angle allows both the robot and the operator to be in a natural position while collecting data. .STL and .STEP in GitHub repo (🧵)

I built an open source dev kit for AI-native robotics: - it’s all-in-one (includes leader arm and cameras) - allows to deploy autonomous policies in under a day - can now be ordered for $2,999 🧵 (1/n)

If you're using @trossenrobotics or @ARX_Zhang arms, you shouldn't buy the expensive leader variants. We're open-sourcing our leader design, which costs under $200 and is kinematically equivalent to both arms at 60% scale. Designed by the one and only @KasparJanssen

The Robot Learning Company (@RobotLearningCo) makes automation accessible beyond factories by building affordable AI-powered robot arms to automate repetitive, stationary tasks. Congrats on the launch, @JannikGrothusen! ycombinator.com/launches/Nil-t…
