Launching MakerMods Metal Arm. Finally ready to reveal the robot arm we've been building. Full CNC metal arm. 6-DoF, 3kg payload, gravity compensation leader arm. Limited supply launch price $2,499. pre-orders open now $99 deposit👇 @IsaacSin12 @makermodsai

today we’re launching eyecandy robotics! we’re bringing animated characters to life through robotics and ai.

announcement: we're hiring across creative. we're well-funded & growing quickly. if you love consumer hardware & are either good with a camera, a video editing wizard, or just have big ideas... i want to hear from you. DM me with past work!

117,000 people watched us launch a robot arm you can build for under $1,000. Here’s what Maker Arm can actually do: → pick and place → sort socks → fold shirts Open source. 1.5 kg payload. QDD actuators. LeRobot-ready. We’re shipping now ↓

🎉 1,000 datasets have now been recorded with LeLab! Our goal: make the journey from connecting a robot → recording demonstrations → training → real-world testing as accessible as possible 🤗 Thank you to everyone building and experimenting with us ❤️ What we’ve learned + what’s next for LeLab 👇 huggingface.co/spaces/lerobo…

The first dataset show was collected by us @makermodsai And yes, LeRobot has made robotics so accessible!

let’s pick some strawberries with our arms @ihwylie @IsaiahBallah @Ryan_Resolution If you need arms for your projects hit us up dms open.

First set of super soft and flexible gripper arms from @mirdainsystems 👀 Big stuff coming soon

New flex TPU grippers delivered to @makermodsai

Put my underwater robot arm in the hands of commercial divers at Subsea Global Solutions in Galveston. Decades underwater between them, and they loved its dexterity. Thank you Steve for the three hour tour.

Every home already has a lamp. So we built a robot that's also a real lamp. Here's how it works:

Good stuff cooking @theresidency

Glad to be the official manufacturing partner for @norma_core_dev Check out the @makermodsai ElRobot store page: makermods.ai/elrobot

A new run of ElRobot Kit samples is fully produced, checked, and ready to head out 🚀

Great integration test! Robstride 00 motors pair perfectly with the Maker Arm. Excited to see more from this open-source robot arm project 🤖 #RobStride #Robotics #HumanoidRobot #EmbodiedAI #RobotFoundationModel #AIForRobots #RobotArm

Got @typesafeai Jev driving our @makermodsai Metal arm in MuJoCo. Images are of the sim camera is not passed in, sim hands Jev the state of the environment in JSON and it picks the next bounded action (hover, descend, grasp, lift, place) as a typed choice with a confidence score. Jev makes the decisions for example "Put the red apple in the blue bin", and it runs in 9 decisions at ~150 ms each, and it refuses tasks it can't map to the scene instead of guessing. I wonder what this means for datacollecting in sim in realtime? And I wonder if combining with GPT6 astra would it be able to then control an actual robot arm

A shoutout to @makermodsai 🚀 We saw their demo at an event in SF and DMed them directly. The full metal arm can pick up up to 3kgs and it’s actually priced way below than others with a similar payload capacity. Also, it’s now a featured robot at Drift that you can add to your workspace and build anytime! Kudos @IsaacSin12 and @Ryan_Resolution :)

Every robotics lab has wasted hours redoing episodes after accidentally bumping their camera. So I built this open source tool so you can check if your camera/lighting has drifted in your dataset. drift.superception.io Also... I'm cooking something that will solve every camera problem labs currently face 👀 let's chat
