1/ We are speed running industrial robotics.
It took us just 19 days from the first day of data collection to filming a 2.5-hour continuous run of our model autonomously breaking down industrial containers — zero human intervention.
The data efficiency of our DVA model is fundamentally changing how fast we bring robots out of the lab and into the factory.

To bring generalist intelligent robots to the real world, we have to overcome the data scarcity problem.
At Rhoda, we are solving it by reformulating robot policies as video generation.
Today, we introduce the Direct Video-Action Model (DVA)

Observe. Predict. Act. Repeat. In closed loop. We call this the Direct Video-Action (DVA) model, and it’s why Rhoda can operate beyond lab conditions in real production environments.

After operating in stealth for the last 18 months @rhodaai , we’re excited today to finally show the world what we’ve been working on. We believe we’re on a path to physical AGI with the launch of our brand new foundation model, the Direct Video Action (DVA) model.

The gap between robotics in the lab and robotics in the real world has been one of the hardest unsolved problems in the industry. We’re excited to come out of stealth and show the research community how we’re tackling the issue.

Too many robots end up in the “Automation Graveyard” but with AI we can build intelligent automation that lasts.

Humanoids in the home make for viral demos, but factories are the real proving ground. The path to a humanoid in your house starts on the industrial floor, where environments are engineered for success and the ROI is proven. #robotics #automation #AI

The real business case for robotics: cheaper, faster, better. The rest is just a demo.

Great tour of the @GoogleDeepMind robotics lab! 🤖🦾
Proud to have led the team that built the ALOHA workcells and scaled up data collection efforts for the first Gemini Robotics models. Excited to see the fleet in action! 🚀#Robotics #AI youtu.be/UALxgn1MnZo

Meet our AI-powered robot that’s ready to play table tennis. 🤖🏓
It’s the first agent to achieve amateur human level performance in this sport. Here’s how it works. 🧵

Once again @Sunrun backup battery system has failed. Have I mentioned that they're garbage?

Shopping for a new couch. Why can't I scan my room with a camera, turn that into a virtual environment, and swap in a dozen different models from different vendors? I thought #AugmentedReality would be general use by now, but doesn't seem to be. What about NeRF?

So, did @Twitter really kill all third-party apps? I've been using @TalonAndroid for years and can't bear to use the native app. How is this not getting more attention?

So @Tesla latest software update broke mobile app connectivity, deleted all driver profiles (settings, home/work locations, recent destinations) and reset map so it doesn't show traffic any more. WTF.

Watching Gremlins and remembering how much of a badass Billy's mom is. Single-handedly kills 3 gremlins with zero hesitation.
