F.03 can now climb a ladder, fully autonomous

Awesome. I would like to see a real ladder though.

It's like watching a 80 year old 😅

we need this bro

this make me sweat 😳🤪

this isn't a diss, but why do they need to move so slow to do this? Does it actually take that long for the processor to analyze and make the next move?

Walks up that ladder like my grandpa

This is really cool

With the speed of a 90 year-old grandma

Impressive! Can we see it at a playground climbing up and then going down a slide?

Three points of contact. Well done. OSHA should be happy.

This video makes me so happy @adcock_brett soon no more humans have to put them selves in dangerous high altitude scenarios.

That is not a ladder, that is 3 stairs with a hand rail.

Yeah the chinese ones are literally doing backflips and dancing like gymnasts, though

Thanks to $IREN helping make this happen.

Now give it one it hasn’t climbed and it won’t. Also let it climb down. It is 100 years away to be able to move like a human let alone think like one - maybe 500 years.

Currently not quite ready for the fire service...

Looks like it is copying the teleop learned movements. The human had to move his head to see where hands were placed. I don’t know the vision ability of Figure but Optimus has a very wide field of view, so moving the head wouldn’t be required. But again, this all depends how it was trained. What you really want is for the bot to experiment in sim and real life (with a harness) to figure this out on their own rather than copying teleop movements.

Meanwhile, Chinese robots 😆

you call that a ladder? Put it up one of these two things. Cmon, you need real-world training sets too.

This is the exact speed I move when climbing up the dock ladder after a long day on the boat

You do realize someone can create a non humanoid robot that could probably climb a ladder rapidly like a rail car, and deal with specific use cases and be much cheaper and efficient than this simulcrum?

At this speed, the new robot employee at McDonalds will take 20 minutes to prepare your happy meal.

"Here I am, Brain the size of a planet, and they want me to climb a ladder. Call that job satisfaction? 'Cos I don't."

@Scobleizer

Can it also climb the corporate ladder?

Brett—congrats on the autonomous ladder work. I’m building CLE: a coordination and evaluation architecture for multi-agent systems that preserves binding provenance across sequential actions and tests causal links to behavior. I’d value a brief technical conversation about a narrow multi-robot evaluation pilot.

Calling a four-step staircase a "ladder" is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

Was talking to a neighbor yesterday who said that robots won't be able to work the electrical grid because they won't be able to clip the poles. I said give it 10 years. He said "no way" I just held my tongue. Still early if it's this slow but... We all know the line.

So what? Climbing a ladder is easier than walking. Make it challenging.

@jspujji Wow

Question: in every video of robots performing daily tasks, the action is always extremely slow. Example: If it was placing a block from one side of the table to the other, grasping the block etc is slow (and that's fine) but once the block has been placed where it needs to be, the robots are still moving slow going for the next block. This last segment of the task doesn't require dexterity or manipulation but the robot still goes extremely slow. It seems to me, that there's an opportunity to make some aspects time efficient. I.e. if there's no obstructions in the way, why can't the robot move through that area faster?

How does it get down? Does it go forwards or backwards?
