3/ Carries laboratory experiment with mm-level precision and complex tool usage.

2/ GENE-26.5 cooks in an unsimplified, real-world setting with more than 20 subtasks.

We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

4/ Rubik’s Cube solving has been a long-standing challenging benchmark for robotic manipulation. The task requires fine-grained control under the geometric and kinematic constraints imposed by the cube itself. Prior state-of-the-art is still the single-handed solver from OpenAI’ in 2019. For the first time, we can solve a Rubik's Cube using two hands together, powered by GENE.

5/ Makes a smoothie.

6/ Handles a delicate straw.

7/ Grasps multiple objects with different ways, all at once with a single hand.

8/ Does wire harnessing.

9/ And plays piano.

11/11 Today, we are more convinced than ever: human-level manipulation is no longer a question of if. It's a question of how fast we get there. We are approaching the endgame for robotics. Read more about GEN-26.5 in our technical blog post:

Please give it a go with @nanopore DNA sequencing

Rush E? Robot's about to speedrun unemployment
