Imitation learning frameworks are often with 2D inputs.
but 2D limits generalization even to camera poses.
This has been an ongoing challenge, especially for humanoids since the camera pose is not steady and need not match the training data.
We build Adapt3R to solve this problem!

Unitree R1 is a new $6K humanoid with a onboard LLM/VLM!
The price & complexity is not a barrier for ML folks to enter robot learning.
Stable, low-cost developer platforms will accelerate humanoid development with new ideas coming from everywhere.
Unitree did it for quadrupeds & now bipeds!

Were you tracking the markets yesterday.
Unintended use cases by powerful yet uninformed users can cause immense irreversible damage nearly immediately!

How can robots reliably place objects in diverse real-world tasks?
🤖🔍 Placement is hard! - objects vary in shape & placement modes (such as stacking, hanging, insertion)
AnyPlace predicts placement poses of unseen objects in real-world with ony using synthetic training data!

Laws are supposed to represent the spirit and values of the people
It does feel freedom is at stake like it was in colonial times!
For folks less versed in colonial history, the tenure of Madam Umbridge at Hogwarts might be a good example 😉

It is not always about vision but viability of selling it upstream in the management chain
And often upstream gets excited (or fomo’ed) into doing things because of external stimulus
Nonetheless good for robotics that all large tech players are entering the stake seriously

Of all the people who think indirect costs in research are a rip-off, let us play a simple game:
Could you perform the same research with the same amount of money (in direct cost) starting out in your garage?
Think on all pieces that are needed beyond core tech comms, space, equipment, admin,
