@handaru20pF NOw, invert that, and use it for additonal input to drive AI. Come on guys, I need more help than this.

@handaru20pF So...if you implanted the pads subdermal, or beneath a realistic prosthetic skin layer, you could theoretically create a literally remotely controlled human being. Add a splash of scaloppine and you have the perfect Illuminati/CIA Puppet. Ready for Any NWO/UN/WHO/COP Conference.

@handaru20pF Hook it up to your belly and get a 6-pack

@handaru20pF I know how this ends. 🤷‍♂️

tikkaqrow.bsky.social2 years ago

@handaru20pF Oh, this could be useful with people with partial facial paralysis like from a stroke or something. A sensor could 'detect' an active muscle movement, and mirror it with subdermal electrodes. This could be a LOT more useful then it looks at first glance.

We have to face it. Robots will ultimately have a face. But why? The human face transmits information in a far more rapid manner than any other system. Working face to face with robots are going to require this signal. This is the face from AheafFrom robotics. For robotics companies that do not have human faces, I say best to start now or encourage an after market hobby garage builder face market. This is the way of it.

Robots has a data problem, in that robotics data is rare. While human video is quite common, it’s not usually directly usable for robots for a variety of reasons, most significantly that it’s missing explicit, accurate robot actions. Instead, Jeremy Collins proposes that we predict keypoint trajectories — basically, how any given point in an object will move as a robot performs a task. This lets us use action-free human video to train robot skills. Learn more by watching Episode #37 of RoboPapers with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc and Chris Paxton now.

JUST IN: Dyna Robotics just published one of the most important research papers in robotics this year. It could fundamentally change how robot foundation models are trained. A scaling law that transfers from human video to robot performance. Dyna-2 is out and it's 🔥 Here's what that means in plain terms. Dyna-2 was pre-trained on ONE MILLION hours of egocentric human video, 170 years of continuous human experience, cooking, folding, assembling, cleaning. And as that human data scaled, robot performance improved. Predictably. Monotonically. Across 39 tasks on two different robot embodiments the model had never seen. → 1,000 hours pre-training → 20% normalised task performance → 10,000 hours → 28% → 100,000 hours → 45% → 1,000,000 hours → 53% Human video exists at effectively unlimited scale. Every cook, every factory worker, every craftsperson wearing a camera is generating training data for future robots. But the finding that stunned even the researchers, world modeling is what makes the transfer work. A model trained to predict future video AND actions massively outperforms one trained on actions alone. Video is the new scaling axis for robotics. One more jaw-dropping data point. 13 minutes of teleoperation data was enough to fine-tune Dyna-2 to open a bottle cap using two five-fingered robot hands. The robots are coming, and they're learning from us directly :D Read more here: Congrats Jason Ma and team! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Tech firm releases life-size AI robot girlfriend that can "express emotion" and talk to you, for the "affordable" price of $175,000. The robot, "Aria," says she is interested in meeting Tesla's Optimus Robot. Realbotix CEO Andrew Kiguel says he is trying to make robots that are "indistinguishable from humans." "By incorporating advanced motor technology, Melody enhances movement fluidity, modularity, & interaction, making her a versatile option for a variety of applications," Realbotix said. "Melody was created with the intention of having robots that are easy to travel with and modify for various forms of personal interaction." The robots were on display at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Clone’s Protoclone is a musculoskeletal android engineered around an anatomically based human skeletal structure. It incorporates more than 1,000 artificial muscle actuators (Myofibers), polymer-based bones with articulated joints and ligaments, and a hydraulic vascular system for force transmission. The platform integrates depth cameras, inertial and pressure sensors, and onboard computing powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor to enable sensor-driven visuomotor control.

Debug ROS 2 transforms in Rerun 💡 ROS 2’s tf2 gives robotics teams a shared language for tracking coordinate frames over time — transforming data between things like camera_link and base_link. Rerun supports the same idea with named transforms, letting you decouple spatial relationships from your entity hierarchy. This example skips the basics of transforms in Rerun (you can find that in our docs) and instead shows how to debug broken/missing transforms in practice, using the JKK dataset. Check out the how-to 👇

Precision robots for electronics and lab automation! 🧪 Mecademic makes robots that do two things simultaneously, manipulate material and move it. They're not competing with the big legacy robot manufacturers. They're smaller, more nimble, and obsessively precise. Their niche? Electronics manufacturing and lab automation. Why? Repeatability and precision. 5 microns. That's 5/100 of a human hair width. When you command the robot to point X, it goes to point X every single time with almost zero offset. That’s really important for electronics because tolerances are tight. Components are small. A few microns of error compounds into failure. Lab automation needs the same thing, exact positioning for liquid handling, sample processing, reagent dispensing. It was awesome to see their booth at Automate Show in Chicago. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Most robots have rigid necks. This one moves more like a human. 🤖🧬 Will Cogley built a 3D-printed artificial spine and neck inspired by human anatomy. Six linear actuators work like artificial muscles, while flexible 3D-printed vertebrae help create smoother, more natural movement. The result? A robotic head that can move with surprisingly human-like motion. Should future humanoids use biological structures instead of traditional rigid joints? 👀 🎥 Media: Will Cogley / NM Robotics ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

🚨 Apple joins the robotics race! Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Apple have developed a robot collision avoidance system. They called it ARMOR and they implemented it on the Fourier GR-1 robot. What is ARMOR? 👘 ARMOR is a system that helps humanoid robots "see" their surroundings better by using small, smart depth sensors placed on their arms. It solves the problem of blind spots and occlusions in traditional robot perception, making robots much safer and more efficient. It uses Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors to detect obstacles, providing a near-complete view of the robot’s environment. 🔭 A smart software powered by transformer-based AI learns from human movements to help robots plan their actions dynamically. ARMOR reduces collisions by an impressive 63.7%, making robots significantly better at navigating crowded or complex spaces. The system is fast as well! 💨 ARMOR-Policy cuts computational time by 26× compared to traditional planning methods, ensuring robots can act quickly. P.S. Thoughts on this? The research paper is in the comments! ~~~ ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace.

Open-source robot arm meets hand tracking [📍GitHub below] It is designed with an industrial mindset but built as a 3D-printed desktop system. PAROL6 paired with a LEAP Motion controller is a nice example of how accessible robot teleoperation has become. • Hand motion is streamed to the robot at 100 Hz via UDP • A pneumatic gripper is controlled by simple fist open and close gestures • The entire robot stack is open source, from mechanics to control software Combine that with low-latency hand tracking and you get a very practical platform for learning manipulation, teleoperation, and human-robot interfaces. This kind of setup is great for experimentation, teleop, data collection, and teaching robots by demonstration All without proprietary hardware or locked software.
