Enough with LLMs - exciting things are happening in the world of atoms. This is Stanford ALOHA, a low-cost and agile robot platform. The whole system is open-source (!!): hardware design, CAD models for 3D printing, simulator, and training code. Time to graft a physical arm onto GPTs 🦾 Led by my friend Tony Zhao at Stanford, and advised by Chelsea Finn Sergey Levine Vikash Kumar. Project page: If you don't want to 3D print your own components, you can buy the setup at

Researchers at Stanford University & University of Michigan, using our technology, developed a BCI enabling finger-based quadcopter control—using thought alone. Key highlights: -4 Degrees of Freedom: Decodes fine finger movements, doubling prior systems’ functionality. -Exceptional Precision: 76 targets/min with 100% accuracy. -Broader Impact: Paves the way for gaming, fine motor skill restoration & remote work. Congrats to the exceptional team! 🔗Read more in Nature Medicine:

Sunday Robotics unveiled its home robot, Memo, a wheeled robot with two arms and pincerlike hands. Training method: Sunday pays remote workers to perform household tasks wearing gloves that resemble Memo's hands. The Mountain View-based company is focused on a full-stack approach, building both hardware and AI models. Beta testing is scheduled to begin next year. Co-founders: - CEO Tony Zhao, ex-Stanford Ph.D. dropout and ex-DeepMind/Tesla, co-created ALOHA project (imitation learning). - CTO Cheng Chi, a Columbia Ph.D., invented the highly-cited work, Diffusion Policy.

Robostral can now follow natural language instructions. It responds to voice commands and pointing. It is also getting better at fine-grained manipulation where precise force control matters. It generalizes to new objects and tasks not present in the training data.
