The computer gave millions of people the freedom to create.
I want to help bring that freedom into the physical world.
At Structis, we're building a universal factory. Somewhere you can send a digital design and receive a finished, functioning product.
We're starting with robotic assembly. There is an enormous amount left to invent.
We're looking for the first people to build this with us.
People who think for themselves. Who care about the side of the fence nobody sees. Who are deeply optimistic about what humans can become capable of, and want to spend their lives contributing to it.
We're backed by Hustle Fund, Founders Inc, and Earthling VC.
We're forming the team in the Munich area.
If you've been looking for something worth giving yourself to, join us.

After spending a month in our hacker house, the best I can explain the energy is what we called "gonahdus" in the Finnish army @EURoboticsHouse

After just one week at ERH, I'm already learning so much and feel grateful to be surrounded by builders of this caliber.
Roberto is a great example of the hustle mindset I find so inspiring in entrepreneurs.

The Era of Evals is coming to AI robotics.
Today we’re launching Reality Check: our leaderboard & first public robot manipulation benchmark.
14,400 real-world rollouts. Four models. Multiple tasks & data regimes. Object placements. Confidence intervals. FR3 Duo stations.

BREAKING: Nvidia declares physical AI could become “10x larger than digital AI” with Jensen Huang predicting every industrial company will become a robotics company.

Built this over the last 10 months, solo, in a garage near Hamburg: the arms, the cell, the teleop and training pipeline. Now the first autonomous runs on a real customer part.
The goal is bigger than assembly. We are building an API for atoms: robots that learn any physical task from real work, and pay for themselves while learning.
Hiring the first engineers now. Hardware, ML or both. Early equity. DM me.
One of our first autonomous successes on the gland assembly.
How it works: we teleoperate the task first. That becomes training data for our model, which then attempts it autonomously. When it makes mistakes, we intervene and show it how to recover. Those corrections make the policy more robust and push the success rate up.
The model runs end to end, down to switching the screwdriver on and off.
Every task we run on the real robot grows the dataset. The bet: the more diverse it gets, the less data a new task needs.

Why Cypherpunk mining ZEC changes everything for Zcash
00:00 Introduction
00:35 Onshoring and decentralizing hash rate
02:19 Mercenary miners vs. a 300k+ ZEC treasury
03:52 No debt, no rented hash, Cypherpunk owns the machines
04:47 The missing bridge between miners and the ecosystem
06:32 Kevin Zhang joins as Head of Mining
08:18 Cypherpunk was never a DAT

Tested a Leap Motion device I had lying around for my robot setup.
Turns out it’s stable enough for:
real-time teleoperation (~100 Hz)
direct hand pose control
grasp via gesture mapping
Good starting point for collecting demos for imitation learning.

I keep running into brilliant people in Zurich working on robot learning who've never met the person doing the same thing three tram stops away.
So I've started a paper club to fix that: present your own work, flag a paper worth reading, and trade ideas with people beyond your lab or company.
Last edition drew 60+ sign-ups, and we had six presentations by Liam, Jessie, @mar_baga, @HKydlicek & @gui_penedo, @aurel_arnold and me.
The next one is Thursday, July 9th, 7 PM.
Got your own work to show? → Present it.
Read a paper worth knowing? → Bring it.
Just want to listen and ask questions? → Come anyway.
Drinks, pasta & pesto are on us.

Just built a script that auto-calibrates the SO-100/SO-101 arm. No more manual joint alignment, much better reproducibility. Works from any starting position. For really weird ones, just run it twice. 🦾
