Launching MakerMods Metal Arm.
Finally ready to reveal the robot arm we've been building. Full CNC metal arm. 6-DoF, 3kg payload, gravity compensation leader arm.
Limited supply launch price $2,499.
pre-orders open now $99 deposit👇

We're hosting a huge Physical AI hackathon.
We’ve run robotics hackathons before but this one is different:
Bimanual Metal Arm and Maker Arm Stations
Fine Tune Dream-1, this is not another ACT competition
New Hill Climb leaderboard format
Two tracks: push your robot up the live eval leaderboard. Or build the creative, most useful robot application you can think of.
Partnering with @dreamlabs_ai @livekit @huggingface @nvidia @_lightcompany @mirdainsystems
November 7–8. San Francisco.
Co-hosted with Founders Inc @fdotinc
Come build with us: luma.com/pah
More about the Metal Arm Station:

Dream-1 on the Maker Arm Station
Prompt:
Pick up the limes and place them in the basket
Didn’t expect both arms to go for the limes immediately and grabbing it zero-shot. The @dreamlabs_ai Dream-1 model is unbelievable.
Forward deployed at @memora_labs. Working with @tigeyshark22 @sungmink304 to make automated prep work at restaurants possible. Can’t wait to see what they build with the Maker Arms

This is going to be the biggest physical AI hackathon of the year in SF

At @calhacks, a team we sponsored gave Claude the ability to PinPoint all the issues in your circuit 🔌
an MCP server drives the @makermodsai Maker Arm across the test bench to turn the multimeter, probe pins, and report back

Our @DeftRobo robots have helped build ~20,000 Tesla Model 3/Ys.
Bought one recently? Our robots likely handled its parts.
Production-deployed at a Tier 1, on robot foundation models + our deployment infra:
- 700 parts/day
- 24 hrs/day
- 100% uptime
Next: triple-digit robots

Dear algo, please show this tweet only to founders bellow 200 followers building cool shit

Robots are getting better at completing tasks. But what happens when they make a mistake?
We fine-tuned π₀.₅ on two real-world manipulation tasks to showcase whether recovery demonstrations can improve policy reliability more effectively than additional successful demonstrations. 🧵

tired of packing up your tools after using them? just get @dreamlabs_ai dream-1 and the @makermodsai metal arm to do it

Robot metal arms from MakerMods have arrived and assembling them with @willwarren onto our coffee table. Excited to train it and learn a lot!

These guys are really forward forward deployed @makermodsai @IsaacSin12 @Ryan_Resolution 🤯
Thanks for the unboxing experience time to benchmark tf out of you 😊
Forward Deployed Founder is the new game
New deployment completed ✅

10 minutes Metal Arm Station deployment setup
Collab with Caldera with @yeokch @raghav2956 @HuanbinChe0dde.
Ready for zero-shot rollouts with Dream-1 @dreamlabs_ai

Humanoid hardware is like iPhone 1 right now. Shitty but usable by enthusiasts
2026-2028 we will get to IPhone 4 level. Usable but lowkey missing ecosystem and software (intelligence) polish
By then low-hanging fruits like overheating on regular use, unreasonable inaccuracies/jitter will be solved. It no longer bottlenecks basic deployment.
From then onwards it’s a loooooong tail of intelligence, hardware, ecosystem improvements. Its going to be a marathon.
We’ve doubled deployments and robot sales at @makermodsai MoM consecutively
With the Dream-1 launch from @dreamlabs_ai we’re getting more demand for quick and cost effective deployments.
If you’re in need for robot arms for deployments, my DM is open.
When @hthieblot pushes you to double revenue
But you get the support to achieve it at @fdotinc in Blueprint II.

We just served 1.5M inference calls across 400 cities and 60 countries in the 4 days since launch! Thank you all for the support!
