Robots that generalize to the real world need lots of diverse training data to build robust models. But collecting that data is a huge challenge. That’s why we built TeleOp-XR: an open system to teleoperate robots in Augmented Reality! 🤖✨ A quick demo and instructions 🧵⬇️

Hello world, meet Anna – our first prototype of an affordable, general-purpose household robot 🤖 It uses a combination of LLMs, VLMs, and VLAs to understand language, perceive surroundings, and automate 🏠 chores seamlessly. We chose the wheeled form factor over bipedal for its simple yet functional design. For the first generation embodied AI in homes, we believe this form factor wil be friendly and less intimidating than the alternatives. A simpler design also helps with our goal of making these robots affordable. We are hoping to ship these devices for under $5k In the coming weeks, we will share an updated prototype that will be closer to our production design and includes vertical movement that is critical for most household chores. ⬇️ is a quick demo of Anna, responding to voice and handing tasks end to end
