Robots struggle with strict action rules…memory and symbols help them learn fast. [Project + Full video link ⬇️] Robots struggle when tasks require specific steps in a fixed order. What if memory helped them think symbolically and learn faster? Solving tasks like unlocking a door then opening it is hard for deep RL. But by learning constraint relationships and storing them in memory, robots can solve these tasks much faster; with fewer trials and less training. Why it works ✅ Learns symbolic rules about action constraints ✅ Uses memory to transfer what it learned across tasks ✅ Handles real-world exploration with just 30 minutes of data ✅ Needs 10x fewer episodes than deep RL approaches This memory-based method shows a promising path forward for robots learning structured, real-world tasks. Full video: Paper: Thank you, Mrinal Verghese for sharing this amazing work! 🙏

How can robots reliably place objects in diverse real-world tasks? 🤖🔍 Placement is tough—objects vary in shape and placement modes (such as stacking, hanging, and insertion), making it a challenging problem. We introduce AnyPlace, a two-stage method trained purely on synthetic data to predict diverse placement poses of unseen objects for real-world tasks. Read on for more👇

Elon Musk today on Optimus robot: "You’ve probably seen a lot of impressive demos of robots on the internet, but those demonstrations are pre-programmed or remote-controlled. There is no humanoid robot that can actually do generalized tasks. Optimus will be the first one that will be capable of doing that, in just a demo, it’s generally useful in day-to-day life."

How can we leverage diverse human videos to improve robot manipulation? Excited to introduce EgoVLA — a Vision-Language-Action model trained on egocentric human videos by explicitly modeling wrist & hand motion. We build a shared action space between humans and robots, enabling seamless transfer. With some robot demos, EgoVLA becomes a powerful, generalizable robot policy.

30 minutes of video. Robot learns the task. Open-source, end-to-end. An open-source framework for training robot policies from only 30 minutes of human egocentric videos captured via Meta Aria glasses: Achieving zero-shot transfer to robots without any robot data collection. The method relies on Interaction-Centric Tokens that encode hand-object spatial relationships invariant to embodiment and viewpoint, supplemented by auxiliary objectives like object motion prediction and latent consistency to extract richer supervision signals from the same data. HumanEgo demonstrates strong cross-embodiment, cross-environment performance on bimanual tasks, outperforming baselines like ACT and teleop data while being trainable on a single RTX 4090 GPU.

We just published a new behind-the-scenes peek at the development of R2: Here are four big takeaways 👇 1) Our designers and engineers worked hand-in-hand simplifying and refining R2 to make a vehicle that is both beautiful to look at and efficient to build.

A better — or at least a more artisanal — method is to do it by hand using a technique known as pad stitching. This is where the tailor picks up multiple layers of cloth and adds shape using their hands, needle, and thread. Can result in a better lapel roll. IG atelier.willow
