Tuesday evening was the AI Summit during which Hugging Face performed 4 demos: one of them, led by Haixuan Xavier Tao, enabled Reachy 2, thanks to dora-rs, to perform object manipulation tasks autonomously based on voice command.

🚗 Ever wondered if an AI model could learn to drive just by watching YouTube? 🎥👀 We trained a 1.2B parameter model on 1,800+ hours of raw driving videos. No labels. No maps. Just pure observation. And it works! 🤯 🧵👇 [1/10]

⛔ STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING ⛔ THERE IS A NEW ROBOT IN TOWN ~ LeKiwi 🥝 ~ ... build it yourself to automate daily choirs with AI 🤗 1/🧵 A thraed!

Get our 2 robot arms for $299 assembled 🤯 For $199 only, you can get 3d printed parts and motors!!! It's also nice to assemble it yourself (or with your kids 👶 if you have any) shop.wowrobo.com/products/so-ar…

A few months ago we quietly open-sourced a PyTorch video decoding library called torchcodec -- small, nimble, fast. The LeRobot folks had some nice things to say about it.

Join us for a hackathon in Paris from April 11-13 😇 Register now! lu.ma/roboticshack

Let's make AI robotics open-source!

Meet SO-101, next-gen robot arm for all, by Hugging Face 🤗 Enables smooth takeover to boost AI capabilities, faster assembly (20mn), same affordable price ($100 per arm) 🤯 Get yours today! Links in thread below 👇

nothing to see here – the LeRobot hackathon is just quietly shaping up to be the largest hackathon ever we passed 1000 registered participants. 80 local sessions. on every continent. all connected in a huge Zoom call curious about robotics? you can still join it's on 6/14

Meet HopeJr, a full humanoid robot lowering the barrier to entry! Capable of walking, manipulating many objects, open-source and costs under $3000 🤯 Designed by Rob Knight and Hugging Face 👇

🚀 SmolVLA — feels like a BERT moment for robotics 🤖 I tried it on the Koch Arm: Inference on RTX 2050 (4GB), fine-tuned with just 31 demos, and matches/outperforms single-task baselines 🔥 Big thanks to Remi Cadene @danaubakirova @mustash97 @francesco__capu 🙌

added an ability to visualise attention maps for the original training episodes of a policy, as well as scores for the proprio token. we can see this policy from Steven (huggingface.co/imstevenpmwork) overfits to robot joint states 🙃 coming to a github repo near you!
