Next week, we’re heading to @ieee_ras_icra IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh with 50+ research teams pushing the frontier in 3 Grand Challenges:
> Autonomous navigation w/ Earth Rover
> Dexterity thru origami folding
> Loco-manipulation thru Ikea assembly
Excited to organize this w/ partners like @SharpaRobotics @LightwheelAI @UnitreeRobotics and more.

5/ Hours of footage don't train a robot. Structured data does.
RoboCap + Grounded API can get you there: capture the real world, get enriched data quickly, and train without building your own pipeline.

4/ Purpose-built for RoboCap, Grounded API turns raw sessions into structured data:
> SLAM: 3D camera tracking
> Hand tracking: finger + wrist motion
> Sub‑cm depth at manipulation range
> Per‑session calibration for lab‑level accuracy in the wild
The API also supports easy exports to @HuggingFace @rerundotio.

3/ Since launch, we’ve sold 12,000+ units to builders in robotics and AI, capturing hundreds of thousands of hours of ego data.
But raw footage isn’t enough. Policies need SLAM, hand tracking, and depth.
That’s why we're excited to partner w/ @GroundedSI to launch Grounded API.

2/ At CoRL a year ago, we announced RoboCap, an accessible head-worn rig built to capture feature-rich ego data, featuring:
> 6 cameras / 2 IMU sensors
> Ergonomic for long sessions, priced for labs to scale
> Wireless RoboWrist pairing, so no cables block the view or add noise

1/ Better robot models come from better data.
That takes two things: hardware that captures it fully, and tooling that turns it into training signal.
We built the first. Today, @GroundedSI launches the second: Grounded API. Access both hardware + API ↓

Better robotics models start with better human action data.
@GroundedSI is building the infra and models to unlock it at scale.
One of the sharpest teams we’ve worked with (UC Berkeley PhD, ex-NVIDIA, ex-Tesla). They emerge from stealth tmrw, give them a follow. 🦾

2/ One model can now handle both tabletop manipulation and whole-body household tasks, from washers, trash and shelves to bathrooms + 54 desk skills.
The training mix combines Unitree Open Datasets with BitRobot HIW-500 (released with @huggingface) in a unified action space.

Congrats @huggingface x @nvidia on joining forces to accelerate open-source AI
Open models need open data, and we're proud to work with the Hugging Face and @LeRobotHF teams to release:
> 7K-hour @frodobots Sidewalk Navigation dataset
> Earth Rovers hardware platform
> 500+ hours of @UnitreeRobotics humanoid teleoperation data
Exciting day for NVIDIA and @huggingface.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. They allow every developer, startup, university, industry and country to build with, customize and benefit from AI.
Thank you @ClementDelangue for coming to me.
NVIDIA is going to be a great home for Hugging Face, its community and the future of open models. 🤗

SN/03 - TeleArms Update: our teleop-in-sim platform now supports YAM Arms, alongside Franka.
Franka has long been the research benchmark for dexterous manipulation, while YAM brings a more affordable platform for scalable deployment and data collection.
Different strengths, same mission: advancing robotics research. 🦾
