Quick clip of the final full-speed crawl (no costume)

Autonomous candy pickup v5 — if you work on robot manipulation (VLAs, grasping, etc.), I'd love to pick your brain. I can't believe how hard it was to get this working even halfway decently. (also, please enjoy my new explainer video voice!)

Surprised we don't see more grippers with googly eyes

I found out that I’m an inventor on 47 patents! That includes Disney drone piloting, AR lightsabers, Google Lens, and generative 3D at Sony, but my favorite is semantic search for fonts using CLIP.

I like this form factor

Robot arm distributing candy WIP (automated using SAM for vision but no RL)

Halloween side project wip (not humanoids) - anyone in LA have a spare oculus? Teleoperating with browser is the pits.

Eldest daughter showed me this blacklight squirrel sculpture concept. So proud.

Building this chassis out of 2020 and 3D printed joints - is there a better way of doing this? I would love feedback on simpler/sturdy techniques for prototyping this.

I really love these guys

Spent a few days using H3 with Blender guidance to carefully craft a video about my gachapon robot then one-shotted vid with a nonsense prompt about “warping and glorping,” and it blows it out of the water imo

Update: taking matters into my own hands

Anybody use a gashapon dispenser with these 4 pins (VDD/HE/GND/LE) - fried my first one trying to figure out HE/LE...

First animation/emote poc for new robot

New robot eyes (wait a few seconds for the close-up)

Tried puppeting the robot with a game controller (thanks @nasirk_ for trying it!)

I think it's ready to power up

Will try to post a video of the puppet-to-animation workflow next week

WIP time to assemble
