Latest News
- A THU team has released the KTransformers architecture, significantly reducing VRAM usage for local deployment of large models. (Project link: https://github.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers)
- Meta Reality Labs has established a robotics division led by Marc Whitten. (Speculation: Could this lead to a general-purpose platform integrated with Ray-Ban AR glasses?)
- Robotics startup Lumos Robotics has released a demo of its humanoid robot Lus1 standing up after a fall. (Demo video: YouTube or Bilibili ;Note: The structure and get-up method are similar to Boston Dynamics’ Atlas.)
- Figure AI has unveiled Helix, a 70B on-device pre-trained Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, demonstrating multimodal collaboration between two robots in a household scenario. (Demo link: https://www.figure.ai/news/helix)
- A group from UIUC has released a robot fall recovery framework based on quadratic reinforcement learning. (Project link: https://humanoid-getup.github.io/)
Featured Projects
- A group from Columbia University has deployed UMI and Ark Infinite robotic arms on a quadruped robot. (Project link: https://umi-on-legs.github.io/ ;Thoughts: How can UMI, FastUMI, DOBB-E, etc., be deployed on SO-100? Design of handheld grippers?)
- Open-source, low-cost robot Zeroth-01. (Project link: https://docs.zeroth.bot/)
- Robotics industry information update project (No longer maintained, Project link: https://github.com/msadowski/awesome-weekly-robotics)
- Compilation of robotics projects. (Project link: https://github.com/mjyc/awesome-robotics-projects)
- Thoughts: Is it possible to develop a platform similar to Hugging Face’s daily paper for robotics practitioners? The platform could source papers from arXiv and integrate industry news from IEEE Spectrum along with domestic updates. Currently, the arXiv API can be directly utilized; reference: https://github.com/MLNLP-World/MyArxiv
