I locked myself in the garage for 3 years - to create what I see as the most impactful machine that can possibly be created. I built it from scratch with my hands and my own design ethos. This is “The Story Behind Mona.” Mona learned to stand stable on her legs in February 2022

Just a regular evening in our Palo Alto garage. This is normal, right? 🤣🤩😆 I’m loving it! All running at the same time: Robot Mona talking, unnamed robot being teleoperated, hands being designed, CNC cutting, multiple 3d printers running, and transformers being trained on

~6 times lighter, ~10x lower BOM and yet way more power than a traditional cobot robot arm. Love building systems from scratch from first principle especially when this opens up unprecedented business opportunitie - safe and affordable are key for bringing humanoid assistants

I gave GPT-3 a humanoid body --> embodied LLM 💪 Check out 0:27: "thirsty" does not show up anywhere in my code, just actions like "pick" and "place" and "bottle" comes from vision. Imagine the possibilities - let's use it for good. #GPT3 #chatGPT #humanoid #embodiedLLM

Have I taken inspiration from biology a bit too far? Well, like humans, who often have one leg slightly longer than the other, Mona exhibits the same, given her skeleton was handcrafted from carbon fiber. It's a bit of a headache for the parts of the code that are still

While many humanoids are developed in big company offices for industrial use cases, we develop in home for home use cases, which is 10x the market size ;)

@coreylynch Awesome. Motion looks amazing. Fun that the first thing you ask your humanoid is to give you something to eat - reminds me of the first time when I told my humanoid that I'm thirsty in December 2022 :) See at 1:32 in Amazing work, Corey and team!

I wanted to see if @LumaLabsAI trained on NeRF captures, so I asked #DreamMachine to orbit around a still image from my own captures. If the model did in fact use user captures, it's certainly not overfitting to them as these results ain't it 🤪

@mantisrobot @BambulabGlobal For machined delrin I can get up to 100Nm in this design. Curious to see your results. Also, using the 8318 and shooting for 125Nm, I decided on a lower gear ratio like 1:25 in order to have good backdriveability. What are your thoughts?

@adcock_brett I keep thinking about what the ratio humanoid / human will be. One reason to keep it low is to keep required material resources and energy resources low. But in this context, it is interesting to note that a humanoid requires about one order of magnitude less materials than a car

Thanks @vkhosla for triggering this thought this afternoon: You mentioned a pragmatic definition for AGI is when it can do 80% of the economically relevant tasks. I'll keep this in mind when calling success for our humanoids in the embodied AGI context.

Note that the material and energy resources to having 10 humanoids are similar to having 1 car. Eventually also the cost.

@audrow @S_aggarwal25 @FPrimeCapital There's nothing inherently expensive about bulding a humanoid. It just ends up being expensive when you try to solve it by throwing money at it instead of first principle engineering.
