Ethan Lauer, a software engineer at Boston Dynamics, answers your questions about robot perception, world modeling, and what spooks our Stretch robot. Check out the full interview and discover how Stretch sees the world:

Love the focus on world modeling Mk-1 uses ARES to read a room without a babysitter or a joystick. Curious how it handles a signal jammer? See the feed.

I like such videos. Informative, somewhat informal, and helpful educate the world about robotics.

Bruh just stole my job I was a package handler at UPS

I'm interested in seeing how much more evolved these robots become.🤖 It's inspiring to see the advancements already 🙌

Any timeline for true mass production and more affordable pricing on your robotic products?

Say goodbye to your jobs, America.

This is exactly why real-world data is so critical. Tradeye captures high-fidelity narrated first-person POV video from messy real trades job sites (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) under our California C20 license the exact chaotic, long horizon environments robots like Stretch have to navigate every day. Happy to collaborate samples with the perception and modeling teams. #Robotics #EmbodiedAI #RealWorldData
