wow, total BoM cost $660, folks open-source community >> closed source hyped robots

Repo link here

Next week there will be 10 robot wrappers startups spawn out. Each of them put a cute face on the robot and then sell it for $6000.

I’d love to see one in real life! My grandma is in a (depressing) nursing home I want to build a companion that helps connect with family (she struggles with tech) and picking things up (mobility issues) Any events where I can see one and learn more about robotics? Happy to fly to Paris I’m borrowing an AR4 soon, and going to be posting my journey on

Looks like its sped up about 3x but still as fast as doing it by hand, that's pretty funny.

Immediately failed task one

Can’t wait to try out these models on Millie_bot 🤖 the future belong to open source robots!

WIPE COUNTER *Smears mess all over counter* WOW!

@alojoh For only $660 I think I know what my wife’s next Christmas present is going to be 😉

Yeah but can it respond irrationally to the everyday iniquities of life and blame me by lashing out emotionally?

So why would a dude get married?

Open-source always wins in innovation race. Cost-effective too.

sorry cats

how does a robot wash their hands?

Pretty cool. 2 to 3 generations later you will be able to get remote teleoperator as house help to clean the house, do laundry etc. Like maybe for USD 250 a month, this would be a great value deal in localities like SF, NY.

Amazing

Except that so far closed source beats open source in pretty much every domain (including robotics).

This is so cool. How do I get into this?!

Whaaaat !!!

When it learns to vacuum stairs, I'm in.

Put also a small llm and have it around as a personal assistant.

(assuming this is not fake .... ) Bookmarked for the Singularity ...

And it has wheels !

this could disrupt the market, open-source offers accessibility and innovation. solid work, excited to see where this goes

Put a fleshlight on it.

This is so great for those who have lost mobility. Even if it requires teleoperation.

I want one, and I'm going to name is Rosie. Now if I can just get me that flying car the Jetsons promised me would come in the future.

Witnessing robotics affordability feels like stargazing at an open-source sky! Inspiring to see affordable innovation taking off. 🌟

Fake. El video está acelerado para hacer creer que el movimiento del robot es fluido.

@ClementDelangue @grok predict price range of it and it's new capabilities till 2030

😍

No way lol I'm going to build one

Although it seems that the function is still limited, the cost is not high.

This is awesome!

this is exactly what I need .. 🤣 so cool ... 👍

Lerobot?
