Evaluating Neural Networks at the Speed of Light (with Light!). See live optical inference in the video below. Excited to share recent academic work on optical neural networks as a collection of computing elements embedded in the camera lens! These elements perform computation

For my final year project in mechatronics engineering at waterloo, I made the worlds first affordable robot kit. Introducing, the Bracket Bot Kit. A $500 robot kit that comes with everything you need to get started in robotics. We are hosting a Hackathon to get feedback on the

we helped over 100 people build their first robot. As my graduating gift to Waterloo, I gave 37 teams a robot kit I designed, and took over the engineering buildings to host the largest robot hackathon, ever. The demos are unreal!—check them out below

Protoclone, the world's first bipedal, musculoskeletal android.

Update on my research! Last March I discovered a wild fractal pattern while playing around with an artificial life simulation called Lenia (by Bert Chan) When I tried to understand why, I only found deeper questions that were harder to answer! A summary of ~1y of work:

⚡️Steinmetz is building the engine of electric vehicles. Inverters with 3x higher power densities, that remain cost competitive with existing solutions. ycombinator.com/launches/Mtf-s… Congrats on the launch, stonemason and Owen!

for years everyone told me, "try nix, you'll love it" because I'm a weirdo who loves minimal base deps and the ability to clean shit up on the fly and i've come to report back I fucking love it

Here's how we automate grinding at high-mix foundries: 1. Scan each part 2. Detect where grinding is needed 3. Adjust for part variations 4. Complete the grind with precision For years, only car manufacturers and other high volume producers could justify bespoke automation to

🤖Optimization and imitation learning are both powerful tools in robotics, yet they often belong to distinct paradigms and areas. How can we integrate trajectory optimization into visuomotor policies to improve the quality of trajectories? 💡We introduce DiffOG, a recipe for

💡We introduce Canonical Policy, a 3D equivariant policy that works effectively with a single camera and remains robust even under dynamic camera perturbations. See thread (1/N)👇

Today we're excited to share a glimpse of what we're building at Generalist. As a first step towards our mission of making general-purpose robots a reality, we're pushing the frontiers of what end-to-end AI models can achieve in the real world. Here's a preview of our early
