Open source CAD model here:
Won’t be the last time we get copied
If it’s not obvious yet, Figure is doing the best mechanical design in the world for robotics

And it’s pretty simple
Through illegal, underground robot fight clubs

US manufacturing has a picks and shovels problem
I can *build* anything here
But to get the components when I need them, it takes WAY too long
I dont need next day, i dont need same day, I need same hour materials
I shouldnt have to pay for extra space to store everything

Iterate on hardware at the speed you do software.
Completely overhauled the arms again, this time with a coupler design for hot swapping pieces. Now you can attach different types of arm designs with ease. See example of 7 DoF & 5 DoF
Now its time for the hip redesign

Been working on converting our 3d printed 6dof robot arm to a 7dof Aloha style arm.
Still need to add more rigidity in places, but it will be pretty cool to have an arm that both works on a humanoid & as a standalone unit.

I keep my drawings and cad simple until the final steps
Lets me iterate on the larger picture much faster without worrying about the little details
Unashamed of my ugly doodles & early blocky cad models. Beauty comes in the final steps

Stompy V4 exists in this box.
We’re averaging ~2 week complete hardware iteration cycle (design, print, assembly, & test). Every iteration takes slightly less time as the hardware gets to a more finalized state.

Trying to find some emergency machine screws
So far:
Home depot: owns 1 metric screw and has them in the *exotic* hardware section
Ikea: doesnt have machine screws for sale but if they had labeled what screws were used in their tables i would have bought a table

This is so cool
Excited to share a new humanoid robot platform we’ve been working on. Berkeley Humanoid is a reliable and low-cost mid-scale research platform for learning-based control. We demonstrate the robot walking on various terrains and dynamic hopping with a simple RL controller.

Humanoid robots. Good for two things:
1) convincing smart people to work really hard 🤓
2) convincing investors to give you money 💰
Love the sense of humor😁
