Reachy and G1 living their best life, talking about communication…
I think I found a solution to my loneliness…
Now I’d love to buy a programmable car, humanoid is done! @yagiznizipli can we get dev kit for flying cars?
New Tesla Roadster is a Robot, more than a car.
Embodiment is not a humanoid, but roadster have cold gas thrusters, wheels, and all the fun stuff which actually useful.
From robotics PoV i see RL policies to avoid bumps, potholes, and potentially life saving crash prevention use cases for thrusters.
Imagining that Grok says, oh I avoided to crash by kick flipping, I hope your coffee is fine.
Sticky the reTerminal firmware is listed in community firmwares 🫶🏼❤️

E-ink touch screen is all you need for deploying agents!

Last week I did tried FlyWire and this week full Male Fruit Fly…
Connectome is all you need
🦟
the fly doesn't lose it's memories; it loses it's innocence.
ran the full FlyWire connectome (139k neurons, 33.8M synapses, real fly brain wiring) as a spiking net on my mac mini. taught it odors one by one w dopamine plasticity, every trained memory stuck PERFECT forever, memory #80 as sharp as #1.
but every new memory quietly leaked into smells it never even learned. by #80, untouched odors got 80% wiped. turns out forgetting isn't a bug, its the maintenance fee real brains pay (active recovery) that our one-way model skipped.
paranoia is just what happens to a brain that can't forgive lol

My team's working with Anthropic on testing the Model Hardware Standard with robotics!
It's a wild world we live in where agents can plug into robots.
Here's Claude Code controlling @UnitreeRobotics G1 and @huggingface Reachy
Watch the story of how the Model Hardware Standard began as part of our collaboration with @hhmi_science

@devcagatay and I put Opus 5 into a robot!
Strands Robots partnered with Anthropic on the Model Hardware Standard (research preview). Soon agents can control a robot fleet safely
I was so excited to speak about Model Hardware Standard and Strands Agents!

I guess I am YouTuber now?!
Recently I stuck the idea of touch screen e-ink displays!
Sticky the reTerminal is my new fav 🥹
Built a custom firmware, deployed agents on it…

Weekend print fun!
My SO-101 leader arm was sitting in the corner after collecting datasets… so I resurrected it.
Gave it an Arduino Nicla Vision head (3D printed pod) and turned it into a cameraman. It self-calibrates, streams to my phone, and I drive it from a live digital-twin dashboard.
Next up: the whole thing rides a LeKiwi base so the cameraman can roll around. Base is sliced, not printed yet…
Still WIP / duct tape in places:

Anyone else have an idle leader arm? Let's resurrect them together ^^
Implementation is WIP, waiting for Arduino Q to connect the base to everything…

Anyone interested in resurrecting so101 leader as autonomous camera robot?
