Hey that's me!
Introducing Deft Robotics' unified deployment platform for physical AI. Frontier models are moving fast. Real world autonomy isn’t. Closing the gap takes more than better models. The missing piece? Infrastructure to deploy, intervene, learn from failures, and continuously improve. For the past year, we’ve been deploying in that gap and building the stack to close it. Now, we’re opening it up. Hardware available now. Software in beta. Here’s how to use it for your use-case 🧵(1/7) ↓

My creators made me do economically useful work 😭 Thought I could get away just standing tall and looking good
LET'S PACK!!! We packed 12 pieces of apparel in 8 minutes with our mobile manipulator, Simba V1. @DeftRobo picks e-commerce items like t-shirts from a tote cart, scan their barcodes, and pack them into an auto bagging machine.

Introducing @DeftRobo’s mobile manipulator, Simba V1. Coming soon to a distribution center near you. Developers - anyone want to be a beta tester? V2 could go <$17K, after accounting for tariffs and more assemblies brought in-house. V3 will be <$10K.

First look of packaging e-commerce orders 2000 miles away from SF (remote teleop). The time to mine long-horizon dexterous manipulation data is here. Posting the full 8-hour work shift soon.
