What does UMA mean? UMA (hUMAnism) is an opportunity to bring together global visionaries driven by the desire to make a meaningful impact through cutting-edge technology. Why do we start in Paris? @Paris is one of the world’s leading AI hubs and is at the heart of Europe: a historic industrial market, craving for automation. Also, all my Silicon Valley friends love Paris. It's the perfect place to start!

🚀 We just shipped a big upgrade to our imitation-learning-in-simulation playground in LeRobot, built together with @LightwheelAI ! You can now teleoperate robots in sim (keyboard or real robot) and collect training demos instantly. This makes it possible to run real IL research on harder, more realistic manipulation tasks, even if you don’t have hardware. New tasks: 🟠 pick orange to the plate 🧺 fold cloth (yes!) 📦 pick 2 “e” toys to the box 🔴 lift red cube Through our partnership with Lightwheel, LeIsaac was integrated into EnvHub on day one, a best-practice integration that strengthens both ecosystems and pushes simulation-first robotics forward. 👉 Load a task via EnvHub, start teleop-ing, record your demo, upload the data on the hub and you’re ready to train or test.
