Oh yeah, my bad, thanks for noticing

This does not sound negative to me and actually is great to read because this is definitely in the list of potential use-cases so we could make a video for it! As for humidity, we don't have a sensor for it yet BUT the platform was mad

We spent a lot of sweat to make it all transferable from one robot to another easily. It is our goal that we all have robots that feel alive and that we can all develop together. Happy to have you onboard!

What would you define as "complex"? This kind of architecture is very similar to what Physical Intelligence used for Pi-0.5 (a VLM triggering a VLA in different areas), albeit to a smaller size for now. You can also see some examp

The agentic OS allows to abstract away from ROS2 by creating the concept of "skills" that can be triggered by the agent; you don't really have to care anymore about defining nodes or racing conditions between them, our frame

There's several things but for example, there is no LiDAR on it nor even a good place to put one. If you're going to navigate around, without a LiDAR or good compute for VSLAM (which is very hard to setup and VERY demanding in com

If we could sell it without we would for sure, but this is a current technological limitation. And we make extra easy to connect to it anywhere still, from your phone. Several components of the robots do not need this cloud service, and bec

That would not make it a complete product and would always require a complex setup whenever and wherever you want to use it. This one is really, really convenient and intuitive. Turn it on anywhere, even outside, it just works. Even when I

Absolutely, the link I sent you has these specs you mentioned listed. And yeah, I agree this mid-market is indeed tough, but this is the upper price I was looking for when I started with my AI background and bought a similar-price turtlebot

The example you gave is exactly this. The driving around in the example use-cases shows an example of going from room to room and execute policies in context: https://docs.innate.bot/main/welcome/mars-example-use-c

I can assure your this was a strong consideration of ours and all assets underwent a very strict regime. There is definitely more than other types of website but it's in the median of other robots websites with significants amount of v

Hey, OP here, just sharing that I only wrote the first answer to your comment, not the next one. Wouldn't want to dismiss your issue! I have been running performance checks during the morning and tried with other browsers, used the deb

The jitter is some demos is arguably because of bad connectivity, we will retake those. You can see however in these demos: https://docs.innate.bot/main/welcome/mars-example-use-cases that it is indeed pretty smoo

Our servos come from Asia. If you can find a platform with everything we have for around $1k BOM happy to review it but we've been pretty deep in picking our components. Also, fair to say that if indeed you're the kind of person w

So far folks have been getting it but i see the point. I guess we'll see if a renaming makes sense later

One of our objectives here was to fix everything that we don't like about the SO-101 and the Kiwi, which have several hardware and software flaws in our view. Including, yes, the constant need for a computer to simply run your robot. T

As a side note, the previous generation of research platforms for that size made in Asia were the Turtlebots, which go for that same price, but without GPU, arm... I would say the problem is that most manufacturers, including chinese, sell

Actually the BOM cost required to make something stable that can execute manipulation tasks well enough is around $1k+ hence our price. You will find very cheap robots that can pretend to do what this one can, but in practice won't w

On BASIC: Yes it does require an internet connection and until we figure out how this works for you it will remain free of use! It is required to run them, not to create them. And it's not about running "pick_up_socks", this

Fixed it! It was only possible to use a given number of times

we also provide interfaces for IK and much higher interfaces for interaction and ai manipulation. Like directly recording episodes of training data so that the arm can use a VLA instead of simple IK.

On the battery, at least 5 hours when idle, and 3 when moving at least On the motors, these are dynamixels from robotis, and we provide all three of position, velocity, and effort on the low-level SDK (in ROS2 too)

i don't know if it is that necessary for just phone control, wdyt? do you have anything plug-and-play for jetson nano?

by apeytavin 11mo ago
you're the first person to mention that to me and it's very very helpful actually. can i contact you to see what you see?

webrtc for video stream is what we have in the pipeline for improving the stream yep!
28.
by apeytavin 11mo ago
yeah it's a tribute
29.
by apeytavin 11mo ago
the video stream will get a lot of improvement for sure! the teleop is pretty good already i believe, but happy to chat further. feel free to dm / join discord
