Thank you for the suggestions! 1. I'm ordering a microscope mount right now! We went with 3D printing because we could get a very good coupling between the stick and the robot mount. See this figure for a comparison: https:/&#x2F

Water! Our robot-and-phone setup is not very safe around liquids haha. Hopefully the hardware experts among us can solve that problem sooner than later. We are also working on learning multi-stage skills, and early results are promising (Se

1. They have very detailed guides on the hardware here [0], which should tell you a lot of information you may need to know. 2. However, I think a large part of the price tag is really the cost of R&D, and once this gets out of prototyp

Indeed! In fact, I have a project [0] from last year that uses a GPT-style transformer to address that exact issue :) However, it’s hard to go far outside simulations in real home robotics without a good platform, out of which efforts came

Absolutely, I personally think of myself as a home robot person through and through :) As for continued contribution, right now the plan is to help get the community on-boarded, and just keep building on the platform. As you can tell, the p

Thank you! We tried to keep things as simple as possible on the policy side, but definitely there is a lot more room for innovation to go from 81% to 99%, like using temporal information and global structure of the task.

It is actually part of a different project I’m working on! Handing off is still slow, so it needs more engineering, but hopefully it will get there soon :)

Hi all! Author here, happy to answer any of your questions! Our goal is to get more robotics and AI researchers, engineers, and enthusiasts to get out of labs and into homes, so we open sourced everything! I also submitted a Show HN with mo
