What if a dexterous robot could learn a 20+ step chemistry experiment without a single on-robot training demo? Meet TwinDEX: a pair of co-designed, three-finger, nine-DoF dexterous manipulation interface: one wearable for data collection, one for robot deployment. The twinned design shares identical kinematics, contact surfaces, visual appearance, and sensors across collection and deployment — keeping observations and actions aligned end to end. Trained from scratch on only a few hundred wearable demonstrations - with zero on-robot training or intervention data - TwinDEX completed a standardized chemistry experiment involving tool switches, fine force control, and bimanual coordination. Robot-free data showed comparable learning efficiency on the multi-task evaluation, TwinDEX delivered 5.3 times effective throughput than on-robot teleoperation. TwinDEX demonstrates that high-quality robot-free data can fully substitute for on-robot teleoperation data on challenging dexterous tasks — removing the dependency on real-robot hardware that has been the central bottleneck to scaling dexterous manipulation data. This was the proof-it phase. Now comes scale: what emerges at tens of thousands, or millions, of episodes?

We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive hardware. No robot-specific data. Stanford open-sourced everything → hardware, code, datasets. What stands out to me is the bottleneck. Not algorithms. Data. Teleoperation → ~35 demos/hour UMI → ~111 demos/hour And the data transfers across robots → UR5, Franka, others. The design is surprisingly practical: → GoPro fisheye lens (155° FOV) + mirrors for depth → SLAM + IMU for precise 6DoF tracking → latency matching for dynamic tasks → diffusion policies for multimodal actions Then it scales. Cheng Chi takes this further with Sunday Robotics (with Tony Zhao). A $200 glove → deployed in 500+ homes → ~10 million real-world interactions. Not lab data. Real human behavior. Their robot learns dishes, laundry, espresso → with zero robot-specific data. This is where the shift becomes obvious. From training robots in controlled environments → to learning directly from humans at scale So here’s the real question: Will robotics be unlocked by better models… or by unlocking data? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

So I heard we need more data for robot learning :) Purely real world teleop is expensive and slow, making large scale data collection challenging. I’ve been excited about getting more data into robot learning, going beyond just real-world teleop data. To this end, we’ve been scaling up data generation with RL in realistic simulations generated on the fly from crowdsourced videos. Enables realistic data collection, much more cheaply than purely real world teleop. Importantly, data collection becomes even*cheaper* with more environments, allowing training with over 100x more data. Transfers to real robots for generalizable manipulation. A 🧵 (1/N)

Impressive on every dimension! Genesis AI has announced GENE-26.5, its first robotic foundation model, aimed at achieving human-level dexterous manipulation: - Single model, shared weights, handles egg cracking, lab pipetting, bimanual Rubik's Cube, smoothie making, and wire harnessing. Most tasks: under 1 hour of task-specific data, 1x real-world speed. - Genesis Hand 1.0: human-size, 20 active DoF, soft-contact skin. Paired glove gives a 1:1:1 mapping (glove, human hand, robot hand). 100x cheaper than teleop, 5x more data-efficient internally. - Data engine pulls from three sources: glove data, egocentric (head-cam) video, and large-scale internet video. The 1:1 hand-to-human match closes the embodiment gap, letting Genesis use video data more effectively than rivals. - Flow matching across vision, tactile, proprioception, and language inputs. Per Genesis, scaling data and compute directly improves zero-shot

I was really impressed by the UMI gripper (Cheng Chi et al.), but a key limitation is that **force-related data wasn’t captured**: humans feel haptic feedback through the mechanical springs, but the robot couldn’t leverage that info, limiting the data’s value for fine-grained manipulation tasks. Led by my amazing students Yolanda Zhu and Binghao Huang, we designed a **portable visuo-tactile gripper** by integrating our dense, flexible tactile arrays with the UMI gripper to enable large-scale in-the-wild data collection. 🔗 We demonstrate **cross-modal representation learning** and **downstream policy learning** on tasks requiring in-hand state estimation (e.g., test tube reorientation) and fine-grained force sensing (e.g., pipette fluid transfer). Key takeaways: - Our flexible tactile arrays store the rich haptic information humans perceive as dense tactile signals. - Portability and robustness are key for in-the-wild data collection; our portable gripper is compact, lightweight, and durable. - Touch provides precise, robust measurements of in-hand object pose, invariant to lighting and viewpoint. - Cross-modal pretraining on large-scale in-the-wild data significantly improves policy robustness and sample efficiency (as shown many times before — and verified again here!). Also check out our previous investigations of dense, flexible tactile grids for understanding human-robot-environment interactions: - Dense tactile glove (Nature ’19): - 3D-ViTac (CoRL ’24):

Force is arguably the most overlooked ingredient in modern robot learning. Introducing FACTR 2: it turns *any* commodity robot into a force-aware system with no force sensors required. Train a tiny force network in <1min with <10mins of data and drop it into any existing teleop pipelines: ✅ Free force sensing for both the robot and the operator arm ✅ Makes demos higher-quality → fewer of them needed. ✅ A new force-aware learning algorithm (FIRST) uses those recovered forces to figure out which parts of a demo actually matter, making learning data-efficient. ✅ Strong performance on complex tasks with fewer demos and even no pretraining! More details below.

1/7 Physical AI has a data problem. More compute alone won’t teach a robot how to move, grasp, react, or recover from mistakes. LLMs had the entire internet to learn from. Robots need something different: huge amounts of real action data. That’s where Axis Robotics gets interesting. $AXIS is building a data engine for Physical AI, turning robot training into something people can contribute to directly through a browser. The loop is straightforward: Generate → Collect → Process → Deploy → Correct → Repeat. What looks simple on the surface could become something much bigger underneath: a scalable way to produce the training data robots need to become genuinely useful in the physical world. The real unlock for Physical AI might not be another bigger model. It might be better data.
