University of Stanford researchers Zipeng Fu and his open source Mobile ALOHA’s hardware is very capable. <\/p>\n

Mobile ALOHA is teleoperated for now. It is low-cost open-source hardware and teleoperation system.<\/p>\n

They mount ALOHA to a mobile base designed for warehouses: Tracer AGV<\/p>\n

It can carry 100kg, move up to 1.6m\/s, while costing only $7000.<\/p>\n

They can use 50 demos by a human for the ALOHA robot to learn to autonomously complete complex mobile manipulation tasks:
\ncook and serve shrimp\ud83e\udd90
\ncall and take elevator\ud83d\uded7
\nstore a 3Ibs pot to a two-door cabinet.<\/p>\n

Introduce \ud835\udc0c\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc1b\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc1e \ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0b\ud835\udc0e\ud835\udc07\ud835\udc00\ud83c\udfc4 — Learning!<\/p>\n

With 50 demos, our robot can autonomously complete complex mobile manipulation tasks:
– cook and serve shrimp\ud83e\udd90
– call and take elevator\ud83d\uded7
– store a 3Ibs pot to a two-door cabinet<\/p>\n

Open-sourced!<\/p>\n
