Until now, robotics stopped where the human hand begins. Strong, but not delicate. Precise, but not adaptive. Repetitive, but not creative. The human hand wasn’t a benchmark — it was a boundary. We are crossing it. Eka Robotics, Inc.. Coming soon.

Forces are the language of the physical world. At Eka Robotics, Inc., we're building a Vision-Force-Action Model (VFA).

Eka means unity -- “one,” in Sanskrit and “first” in Finnish. We’re building intelligence for the physical world in its native language: forces. Until now, robotics faced a tradeoff — generality or speed. The real world requires both. Robotics also faced a data problem. Our Vision–Force–Action (VFA) model — the first of its kind — breaks the generality-speed tradeoff and the data barrier. It's a new foundation uniting performance, generality, and safety for putting capable robots in everyone's hands. Today, I am excited to share our journey of pushing robots beyond human limits. Today, dexterity becomes scalable. Today, I welcome you to the Era of Eka. Co-founded with Tuomas Haarnoja, and so thrilled and grateful to be working with a dream team at Eka Robotics, Inc..

🚀 Introducing SoftMimic: Compliant humanoids for an interactive future — bringing humanoids into the real world 🤝 🔗 Current humanoids collapse when they touch the world — they can’t handle contact or deviation from their reference motion 😭 😎SoftMimic learns to deviate gracefully from motion references. It natively embraces contact and forces — enabling safer, more robust robots that generalize better and interact gently. Work led by Gabe Margolis Michelle and Nolan Fey

DexWrist got an upgrade! Robots with wrists can do so much more! Kudos to Martin Peticco John Marangola

This is going to be the year of hands and dexterous manipulation :) A sneak-peak into what's been cooking in our lab:

Presenting Unsupervised Actuator Nets (UANs) that push the limits of agile whole-body control without the need for reward shaping! ⚡️ UANs reduce the sim2real gap in robot's motors removing the need for reward design to bridge the sim2real gap. ⚡️ A pre-trained whole-body controller uses reference motion as a hint to maximize task performance! Learn more: Work led by Nolan Fey , Gabe Margolis in collaboration with Martin.
