no one is doing 3d printed tires like we are.

guiding principle from day one
Jun 13
Every time I interact with my @maticrobots’ (really, really good) software I’m reminded of the old adage “people who are serious about software make their own hardware.”
The software is so good, but that’s likely thanks in no small part to tight integration with the hardware.

The video stream of the Flyby F-11 with Silvus mesh radio and FLIR Boson optics out in Malibu just look like pure art

“you should prototype with the technology you'll eventually need for production”
good read, connor is doing incredible work

3D printed tires
Pure 3D-printed lattice magic in TPU that flexes, absorbs insane weight, and keeps rolling. No air or suspension needed.
@robotsailor is building next-level robot wheels… fully custom, printed fast on Bambu Lab printers.
If you don’t follow him… you are missing out big time: He is building robots and shares it on X!

i’ve spent the past 2 weeks designing my last robot (for now), hence the silence on here.
after just ~6 months since the first prototype, both the hardware and software are finally in a place that i feel are ready to be deployed into the real world. once this new robot is complete, i’ll be dedicating all my time on site with partners and customers to learn about the problems they face and how we can shape our robots to solve them. if you own or operate a warehouse, i’d love to chat.
looking forward to sharing more of that robot here soon. i’ve replaced the 3d printed design for an entire aluminum build (looking at you @sendcutsend).

a year ago today i was taken into hospital care for 5 days, after a minor surgery went wrong causing pulmonary edema. on days like this im grateful to be alive, but especially grateful to have spent everyday since working on things i love.
i also befriended an 80 year old man who had narrowly survived a heart attack. his wisdom and reflections on life have probably shaped my life more than any other person i know.

Robots, data centers, autonomous vehicles/aircrafts, drones, etc. will be everywhere in the next decade.
We HAVE to design them all beautifully or the future won’t be beautiful.

the robots that started my love for sci fi and hardware. we will get there soon.
may the fourth be with you.

it's extremely refreshing to see, and a testament to their success, how much skydio focuses on the user experience to make drone operating as intuitive and accessible as possible. the best onboarding process will be no onboarding process

finished installing starlink on my parent’s roof today. extremely straightforward to set up.
what stands out is the speed, even in a suburban neighborhood where everyone said it was a bad idea.
beats our old network by 150-200mbps at any given time throughout the day.

autonomy in robotics is vastly overrated, especially in industrial environments.
i've seen much more success using teleop, prioritizing distribution, and demonstrating your robot can do what you say it will to the customer. the alternative is becoming a research lab.

"Dude, the customer could not care less."
Thiel Fellow @victorwboyd, who's building autonomous forklifts with the ultimate goal of being able to get anything anywhere in under 5 hours, says "teleoperation" has become a dirty word for no good reason.
"[Teleoperation] is extremely valuable... customers don't care, guys. The customers don't care if you're fully autonomous. Customers care if the work is done."
"If you're over here stressing, 'Oh, dude, we're only 10% autonomous,' but you're getting the job done every single time, and you're profitable — obviously keep going for more autonomy. Push those margins. But, dude, the customer could not care less."
