Watching the two-handed robot has me thinking that a third hand, perhaps with a different set of capabilities (like a tentacle grip) might make many tasks easier. I realise that more limbs = more problems, but even so, having additional ways to hold and turn things would be a big help.

Anybody who worked on a car knows an extra hand would always be helpful.

It makes me think of why couldnt they just automate ironing and folding. I can stick stuff in the suitcase myself.

You could get wrinkle free shirts and a plastic folding board / helper, and you are 90% there for 1% of the price ;-)

Coining the term: Slopfold

When you Robot folds your clothes but it's kinda wrinkly and sloppy but you accept it anyway because it's easier than precisely folded and pressed clothes.

Pretty cool!

Only 10B parameters if I correctly understand some of those histograms, which is tiny in LLM world! It bodes well for the future.

The training videos seem to show human hands using the robot grippers to execute the tasks, which must have been a fun but tedious process.

I have been slopfolding since before it was cool

I think this is the most satisfying video I’ve seen of a robot doing laundry. Not sure if it’s the camera angle, the 3× speed, or the music.

I watched it on mute and was still satisfying, so I guess it's not the music.
