While many robotics companies build robots at human size, or work to automate entire factories, Microfactoric Instead, try to think big by building small. Microfactory, based in San Francisco, built a general purpose-table production kit that has about the size of the dog crate of my Siberian Husky. This compact factory comprises two robot arms […]
It is a bit easier to build advanced robotics projects at home. Earlier this week, AI DEV platform hugged Face published an open AI model for robotics called Smolvla. Train on “compatible license,” community-shared datasets, Smolvla performs better than much larger models for robotics in both virtual and real-world environments, causing facial claims. “Smolvla strives […]
