Seeing ≠ feeling in robotics🤖. Collecting data without force feedback is not only frustrating but also doesn’t work for contact-rich tasks. Introducing FACTR: a low-cost teleop that lets users feel what the robot feels + a simple algo to integrate force into autonomous policies. Video doesn't do justice, but... show more

Force feedback demo Force feedback is when joystick is pushing on your hand when something is pushing on the robot arm. Feeling the force - so much helpful to control the robot, that done well it allows you to do tasks even without visual feed. You can make an experiment: close your eyes - you can easily get the headphones out of the case. Also, visual information is often not enough. For example, you're trying to pull out a usb connector, but you pull it at the wrong angle, causing it to get stuck. Visually, nothing changes, but the pressure is intense and you can break the connector. Surgical robots have been using force feedback for years, and there are also 3D styluses which use this feature, proving that the technology works and is useful. But in modern robots with AI, it's hardly ever implemented. Although it's useful for both teleoperation and AI model. That's one of the reasons why we are building our robotic arms starting with off the shelf motors rather than taking the whole off the shelf arm. There are still a range of easy wins that can be made iterating robot hardware.

ManiFeel is a benchmark for contact-rich manipulation tasks. Force- and tactile-based tasks with occlusions and partially-observable state are going to be crucial for true general purpose robotics. Website:

New startup out of stealth in Cambridge MA: Eka Robotics. The company is building intelligence for the physical world in its native language: FORCE. Their core solution to mastering fast, reliable adaptive robots: Vision-Force-Action (VFA) model: - sim-only reinforcement learning - no human teleop data - robot practices thousands of hours in a physics-rich simulator (mass, inertia) and comes up with its own solutions, AlphaZero-style. - custom grippers add touch sensing; the model maps pixels + felt force to actions.

AR and Robotics is such an amazing combination The video doesn’t do it justice but interacting natively in 3D space is intuitive and feels natural This is Spectacles driving a Reachy Mini from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics Thanks again to SensAI Hackademy 🙂

🚨 Light has no mass… So why does gravity bend it? Because gravity isn’t pulling on mass. It’s shaping reality itself. In Einstein’s view: Objects don’t get “pulled” they follow curves in spacetime. But take it one step further: What if it’s not just space bending… but time forming stable paths? In my framework: Light doesn’t feel a force It follows the only stable path that exists Gravity = where time structures become curved and consistent So light doesn’t get pulled… It simply has no other path that holds together. The real question is: If everything follows stable structures in time… is gravity just reality choosing the path that can exist? Follow for deeper physics beyond force and particles.

We need to review our policing policies. That walk should not be allowed in the police force. A police must walk upright. That's why the public doesn't take them serious.

it feels like i’m watching a new scene just ‘cause is a different angle is not even Wednesday to be complaining, but i no longer feel the longing for that day in particular their is nothing for me to wait for.

Is it the first time when Putin said that the war in Ukraine is “moving towards its conclusion”? He also said he is ready to meet Zelensky not only in Moscow, but also in a third country, but only to “sign an agreement.”

A logo isn’t a brand but it’s often the first thing people judge you on. If it feels generic or forgettable, it quietly undermines everything else. Not because logos do all the work, but because perception is built in seconds. That’s why I put so much care into making each one distinctive. It doesn’t need to explain the whole story, but it should evoke something. A feeling. A sense of intent. Here’s a 2026 showreel of some of my logo work.

The best pitcher in baseball retired 14 hitters in a row and had not yet reached the 100-pitch plateau. A.J. Hinch not only removed him for Kyle Finnegan but also did not force Josh Naylor to face LHP Tyler Holton. Seattle makes him pay.

There is extraordinary power in kindness. It impacts the recipient; inspires the witness; and transforms the giver into a force for good - someone who doesn’t just hope for a better world, but helps create it.

Yeah! Teleoperation on low-cost robot arm from Tau Robotics working natively at 200Hz with and a very simple code. We are working a video tutorial to make it easy for anyone to reproduce our setup (in simulation or with a real robot). Stay tuned 😋

Peeling a potato is trivial -- until you try to make a robot do it with a knife. This is actually one of the hardest problems in manipulation: contact-rich, force-sensitive, and success is subjective. We taught a robot arm to peel with >90% success :D

one of my favorite things about rachel zegler is how she feels everything at 100%, how she doesn’t hide the fact that she gets sentimental and just lets go. as a girl that also tears up easily i can’t help but love her for this 🤍

3. Apple Health This one's... confusing. I don't need both Health AND Fitness apps. It's a data gold mine but feels like opening an excel sheet. It also doesn't show where data is gathered and most of the times it's from a watch - which isn't accurate.
