A robot can perceive. It can reason. But can it reliably act in the real world? 🤖 Which is hardest to get right: perception, reasoning, or action? #Robotics #AI #PhysicalAI

If you could give a robot one new skill, what would it be? 🤖 From repetitive work to complex real-world tasks—what should robots learn next? #Robotics #AI #PhysicalAI

Hot take: Better AI alone won't solve robotics. 🤖 The hardest part is making intelligence work reliably in the real world. What do you think is holding robotics back the most: hardware, data, or AI? #Robotics #AI #PhysicalAI

AI can make robots smarter. 🤖 But the real challenge is making that intelligence useful in the real world. What real-world task would you want a truly intelligent robot to solve? #Robotics #AI #PhysicalAI

New teaser is out from episode 2 of @FirstSlicePod with @peppybots He's building Lovable for robots.

First Slice 002 is out! For Episode 002, I chatted with Dan Lambert (@peppybots), founder of Peppy. Dan is building “Lovable for robotics.” The idea: tell a robot what you want it to do in plain English, test it in simulation, then eventually deploy that behavior to a physical robot. Dan thinks robotics is hitting an inflection point right now. Robot brains are getting dramatically more powerful. Useful hardware is getting cheaper. He has robots on his desk that cost under $5,000. And AI coding tools are starting to make robotics development accessible to people who aren't robotics engineers. Dan's first experience setting up a robot with existing tooling took him more than 10 hours. Peppy wants to turn that into roughly 10 minutes. But vibe coding a robot is very different from vibe coding a website. If AI hallucinates while building software, the application might break. If AI hallucinates while controlling a physical machine, the robot could break something or hurt someone. We get into that problem, how Peppy is building a safety layer between AI and physical hardware, the shortage of real-world robotics data, NVIDIA's role in the industry, and why robots eventually need to get “punched in the face” by the real world before they become truly useful. Dan also explains why Peppy could eventually look less like a robotics company and more like Android: a common software, developer and application layer that persists even as the robot hardware underneath it changes. This is exactly what I want @FirstSlicePod to be. What's next, before it's obvious.

The future of robotics isn't just about better hardware. 🤖 It's about creating intelligence that can understand, adapt, and act in the real world. What do you think is the biggest challenge in building truly intelligent robots? #Robotics #AI #PhysicalAI

A robot working in a demo is one thing. Making it work reliably in the real world is another. 🤖 What do you think is the biggest gap between simulation and reality? #Robotics #AI #PhysicalAI

The future of robotics won't be built by one person alone. 🤖 Developers, researchers, engineers, and builders will shape it together. What are you building? We'd love to connect. #Robotics #AI #OpenSource

Building robots is exciting. 🤖 But turning an idea into something that actually works isn't always easy. What’s the biggest challenge you face when building for robotics? #Robotics #AI #OpenSource

𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲. 🤖 The barrier between an idea and a working robot is getting smaller. What would you build if robotics were easier to prototype? #Robotics #AI #OpenSource

Robots can do more than move. 🤖 They can learn skills. Build a skill. Test it. Improve it. Put it to work. What skill would you teach a robot first? #Robotics #AI #OpenSource

Before a robot touches the real world, test the idea in simulation. 🤖 Build. Simulate. Iterate. Deploy. That’s a smarter way to move from an idea to a working robot. #Robotics #AI #OpenSource

What if building a robot was as simple as describing what you want? 🤖 With PEPPY, you prompt, build, simulate, and deploy. From idea to robot. #Robotics #AI #OpenSource

Building the future of robotics? 🤖 We’re looking to connect with developers working on robotic intelligence, robotics solutions, and VLA. What are you building? #Robotics #AI #OpenSource
