University of Stanford researchers Zipeng Fu and his open source Mobile ALOHA’s hardware is very capable. Mobile ALOHA is teleoperated for now. It is low-cost open-source hardware and teleoperation system. They mount ALOHA to a mobile base designed for warehouses: Tracer AGV It can carry 100kg, move up to 1.6m/s, while costing only $7000. They …
The Figure 01 humanoid robot is controlled completely by neural nets and learned to make coffee using a coffee machine in ten hours. The Figure 01 learned dynamic walking over the course of a year. Figure is a California based company building general-purpose humanoids. In May, 2023, they closed $70 million in Series A funding. …
Humanity needs to simplify the technology and products for our civilization but make them fully scalable and self-replicating. The technologies that we pick to scale need to be ones that we can increase to a thousand times our current levels with manageable pollution and side-effects at those scales. We will soon have billions or trillions …
1. AGI could be achieved or we will get even closer. There will OpenAI releasing GPT5 and updates of Google LLM like improved Gemini. Definition’s for AI AGI = artificial general intelligence = a machine that performs at the level of an average (median) human. ASI = artificial superintelligence = a machine that performs at …
Factory and electric car expert Sandy Munro says the Teslabot can perform all factory assembly line tasks. He says based upon what I saw. Sandy Munro has been given special tours of the Tesla factories. He says he thinks Teslabot will on the real Tesla production lines later in 2024. IF this is true then …
Google’s Gemini LLMs (Large Language Model) produced a new math discoveries and solves real-world problems. This is a significant step to AGI. The AI is speeding up progress in math and science. This is the first time a new discovery has been made for challenging open problems in science or mathematics using LLMs. FunSearch discovered …
Dr. Scott Walker points out that the Logo usually goes on a product when prototyping is complete. There would be a huge impact for Tesla if one hundred thousands Teslabots can be made and used the Tesla factories. Usually, the logo goes on when prototyping is complete. pic.twitter.com/Y2pTyNtwPW — Scott Walter, PhD (@GoingBallistic5) December 13, …
Tesla has introduced Optimus Gen 2. • Tesla designed actuators and sensors • 2-Dof actuated neck • Actuators integrated electronics & harnessing • 30% walk speed boost • Foot force/torque sensing • 22lb (10kg) weight reduction • Better hands, able to handle eggs and other delicate work There’s a new bot in town 🤖 Check …
Despite steady improvements in quantum computers, they are still noisy and error prone, which leads to questionable or wrong answers. In June, 2023, scientists predicted that Quantum Computers won’t truly outcompete todays classical supercomputers for at least five or 10 years, until researchers can adequately correct the errors that bedevil entangled quantum bits, or qubits. …
ETH Zurich researchers taught an autonomous excavator to construct dry stone walls itself using boulders weighing several tonnes and demolition debris. * dry stone wall construction has involved vast amounts of manual labor. * A multidisciplinary team of ETH Zurich researchers developed a method of using an autonomous excavator to construct a dry-stone wall that …
Researchers have now taken a step toward that vision of molecular systems that repair cells inside the human body. Molecular repair built from a patient’s own cells will eventually ferret out cancer, repair injured tissue, and even remove plaque from blood vessels. They have gotten tracheal cells to form coordinated groups called organoids that can …
