Our RA-L paper, in collaboration with Prof. Loianno’s @loiannog group, was selected as an Editors’ Choice in Science Robotics:
science.org/doi/10.1126/scir…
A step forward for Embodied Intelligence in quadrotors: how physical design and control can work to enhance resilience/safety.
Come to our two workshops on Mechanical Intelligence and SoRo Hackathon tomorrow @iros20206
Module intelligence could be the next step jump in robotics. Once AGI and world models can orchestrate LEGO-like modules, we could assemble robots of virtually any form and function.

今日の要務先。
午前は全部東横インの中で、面接審査、イベント打ち合わせ、学内要務の英語プレゼンを終えた後、尾形CRESTでのJAISTへサイトビジットでした。ちょっとしたミニ旅行でしたが、大変素晴らしい研究環境でした。Van Ho先生を始め皆様、デモなど本当にありがとうございました。

In January, I started "building something new" with an incredible team. Today I finally get to share some first details about what we've been building. We've called it Walden Robotics (waldenrobotics.com).
I thought long and hard about my own reasons for starting this company. It's not only about the robots. It's also about people. I've tried to capture those thoughts in my first Walden blog post: waldenrobotics.com/news/why-…
It's been an incredible ride so far. Within just a few months of forming the company, we were already operating a general-purpose robot with an end-to-end policy in production in one of the most important factories in North America. It's amazing at how much I've already learned from that experience. There is a lot of work to do, but the mission has never been so clear.
Please help me welcome Walden Robotics into the world. And stay tuned for more updates!

ProTac was presented at @saturdayrobotic by @quanluu96
*ProTac Paper (T-RO): ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…
@quanluu96 at @saturdayrobotic high signal reading club : large AI models alone won't solve manipulation, robots need better bodies.
His protac skin literally switches transparent so its cameras see through it for depth sensing, then opaque for touch. wild stuff! 🚀
thanks @junfanzhu98 @aurorafeng_01 for hosting. And the views from the AGI house. Unreal 😍
📢(T-RO論文）形態・センシング・アクチュエーションを統合したゾウの鼻先に着想を得たソフトグリッパの論文がIEEE Transactions on Roboticsに採択された。#CREST_CrossX で、把持機能と触覚センシング機能を一体化した設計の一つです。

🥳Excited to share our newest paper in IEEE Transactions on Robotics @IeeeTro, on a co-design of morphology, sensing, and actuation inspired by an elephant trunk tip. #CREST_CrossX

Train AI robots without writing a single line of code. 🤖
We just launched LeLab, the official graphical user interface for LeRobot built by @rabault_nicolas. It completely removes the command line from the robot learning workflow, taking you from raw hardware to autonomous movement visually.
If you've ever wanted to get into AI robotics but were held back by complex terminal setups, this is for you.
- Zero-Terminal Setup: Smart calibration with automatic USB port detection.
- Easy Data Collection: Teleoperate your robot and record a dataset.
- One-Click GPU Training: Don't have a massive local GPU? Scale your training instantly with Hugging Face Jobs right inside the app.
Just plug in your SO-ARM101 and start teaching your robot. We put together a complete, step-by-step video guide showing exactly how to get started and train your first policy.

#ICRA2026 の ViTacワークショップで触覚ハードウェアにおける最優秀賞を受賞いたしました！😍
📢Our collaborative work with folks in @KingsCollegeLon received Best Paper Award in Tactile Hardware at @ieee_ras_icra #ICRA2026 WS on ViTac!

Congratulations! @GiuseppeRossi22
RAPTOR-our new tiny foundation policy for quadrotors has just appeared on @SciRobotics! A single compact policy that adapts in milliseconds across different quadrotors and autopilots, flies zero-shot with no fine-tuning, and simultaneously tested on multiple platforms!
📢We successfully integrated vision-based tactile sensing into a Catheter balloon for cardiac ablation, as a preliminary outcome from our collaboration with industry
