Reliable robots need to know what to do when things go wrong. We’re open-sourcing 1,000 episodes of failure data, interventions, and policy rollouts. HuggingFace link below 👇
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. 🧵

#PhysicalAI is moving faster than anyone predicted. In just 3 months, we’ve seen: Massive pre-training data buyouts Expanding lab budgets & contract sizes The rise of "neo-integrators" pairing off-the-shelf hardware with open-source models Is deployment finally here? 🤖🔥 Check out what @mikisafr from @NorthstarRobots had to say on what's driving it. Stay tuned for more insights.

Today, we're launching Northstar Services. We're offering free home services across the U.S., India, and Brazil. Cleaning. Organization. Yard work. Home maintenance. And more. Here's how it works ↓

Privacy is extremely important to us. Participation is fully optional. Recordings are focused only on specific tasks being performed, and we use safeguards such as facial blurring throughout the process.

For the past month, we've been quietly running pilots in homes in India. Now we're opening Northstar Services to the public. We believe the future of robotics should be built in real environments with real people, not just inside labs. Sign up below. northstarrobotics.ai/service…

We're cohosting the The Embodied Metal Hackathon! Happening Jul 17-19 in San Francisco's Mission. Three days, lots of robots, and the best hackers across Physical AI.🤖 Hosts and sponsors: @MissionRobotBay, @savant_vc, @NewTheoryAI, and @NorthstarRobots, with compute from @modal. Space is limited, so apply early: luma.com/embodied-metal

Most robotics data is slop. That's the real bottleneck for physical AI. Bad angles. No diversity. No quality control. Impossible to train on. We raised $500K from Genius Ventures to fix this. Introducing Northstar.

But we don't just collect data. We make it trainable. Our pipeline handles filtering, segmentation, hand tracking, depth maps, multimodal sync, and human + auto annotations- so robotics teams don't have to. We've already validated performance improvements deploying our data on real robots. Labs get training-ready data out of the box.

Everything is data. But not all data is trainable. We're building the most high quality & trainable robotics dataset in the world. If you're working on robotics, request a sample today! We're also hiring: ML & software engineers (SF) and Operations (India, Brazil), email us [email protected] northstarrobotics.ai
