Mobile ALOHA's hardware is very capable. We brought it home yesterday and tried more tasks! It can: - do laundry👔👖 - self-charge⚡️ - use a vacuum - water plants🌳 - load and unload a dishwasher - use a coffee machine☕️ - obtain drinks from the fridge and open a beer🍺 - open doors🚪 - play with pets🐱 - throw away trash - turn on/off a lamp💡 Project website: mobile-aloha.github.io/ Co-lead @tonyzzhao, advised by @chelseabfinn (amazing photographing from @qingqing_zhao_ )

it's always fun to see robots playing soccer. still remember i accidentally tackled someone pretty hard in my last soccer match at cmu iykyk😜
The only AGI on Earth emerged after billions of years of "physical self-play". Robots won't be any different. This method scales, and we will scale it.

this reminds me of classic cascaded control: the outer loop outputs setpoints or trajectories, while the inner loop runs much faster and handles the low-level dynamics. For fast actions, waypoints alone aren’t enough—velocities and contact feedback matter too. Impedance control is a useful analogy: instead of rigidly following a path, the robot responds to contact like a spring and damper. IMO, getting this interaction right is one of the keys to fast, smooth motion. a big challenge in building a generalist robot is the outer loop: mapping language& images into possible trajectories. A lot of the attention in robot AI goes there and stops there. RewardAI says that picking a good trajectory is only part of the problem; executing it smoothly when contact and loads change is just as important. The team is very serious about robotics, impressive and congrats.

Achieving human-level speed execution is something that Astra can never achieve. Congrats to @zipengfu and the team!

Don't miss this. The ChatGPT moment of robotics is near.
Replying to @RewardAI_
We built Omnibody Hand around function: useful contact points, in-hand reorientation, and smooth transitions between precision and power grasps. Its compact 7-DoF design combines thumb-index dexterity with coordinated finger motion for power grasps.

This is huge! 🤯 Reliance on real robot data and cross embodiment are big issues of robotics action models! Super excited to see OM1 solving both of them! The motion is also fast and looks smart! Great work @zipengfu @chenwang_j!

This is really good; very difficult task for a robot
Replying to @RewardAI_
We also tested OM-1 on a deceptively hard task: unplugging an Ethernet cable. Unlike USB, Ethernet connectors lock firmly in place and release only when the latch is pressed very precisely. OM-1 reliably solves this fine-grained manipulation task.

Smoothest manipulation policy at this dexterity level I ever seen, almost feel like an industrial arm! Also the WBC is very nice and natural, really wish to see more. Congrats @zipengfu @chenwang_j

thank you Peter! glad you like it! Your OG work on dexterous hands inspired me to switch from digital AI to physical AI and robotics 7 years ago
Very cool that it’s from human manipulation and not teleop. Robotics is making fast progress.
