Over 450 robotics training missions are now live across SN/03: TeleArms – RoboPlayground and SN/04: @axisrobotics That's 450 opportunities to start contributing to the world's open robotics lab. No hardware required. Who wants access before we open it up? 🦾

Traditional robotics scales thru organizations: centralized deployments + hired operators. BitRobot scales thru networks. Live subnets: SN/01 @ET_Fugi SN/02 SeeSaw (@virtuals_io) SN/03 TeleArms (comment for code) SN/04 @axisrobotics The world’s open robotics lab is building 🦾

Final week to register for the 1st phase of our Grand Challenges at @ieeeras IROS 2026 Join builders from Google DeepMind, Unitree, Agility Robotics, Lightwheel AI, and more to tackle: > IKEA Assembly (loco-manipulation) > Origami Folding (dexterity) > Earth Rovers (navigation) Deadline: July 3

Robotics and crypto. How does the two correlate? We know robotics experienced rapid development alongside AI in the recent years. The global robotics market has reached $50b, currently in their all-time high, and they're projected to reach $218b by 2031. The question is, as someone who never thought about it, why should we start paying attention now? And as a CT, how would crypto fit with robotics development? In several hours, we'll discuss this with @jnthnvctr, President of @BitRobotNetwork. Tune in to our pod, Tuesday 2:45 AM UTC. Livestreamed to our Youtube and @2lambro's X

.@BitRobotNetwork is making monster moves to push robotics forward. BitRobot and supporting teams just open-sourced the largest ever humanoid whole-body teleoperation dataset collected in real homes. Robotics on Solana 🦾

DePAI - slowly then all at once. While investors are beginning to recognize the value of open source, decentralized AI, the natural extension to physical AI is still neglected. The primary difference is robotics will scale through decentralized coordination from the start rather than from centralized control to decentralized coordination as we’re seeing with digital AI.

48 hrs after the release of HIW-500, we've hit 42K combined downloads on @huggingface @LeRobotHF Today, @rerundotio released an awesome new feature for the community to easily explore and organize the 10TB dataset. Let's build 🦾

BIG THANKS to @UnitreeRobotics & @huggingface on this collab Anyone who tried teleop b4 know how much work involved here - especially /w humanoid AND in-the-wild!! Ping us if you have interest in more data like this (commercial use or academic collab); we hope to continue contributing to the community 🙏

Humanoid locomotion is mostly solved. But whole-body manipulation in messy, real-world homes? Still one of the biggest bottlenecks in robotics. Laboratory data doesn't cut it. To build "robot butlers," models need to train on the chaotic edge cases of the real world. That’s where HIW-500 (Humanoids-in-the-Wild) comes in—the largest open-source humanoid teleop dataset collected entirely in real homes. Developed by @BitRobotNetwork alongside @LeRobotHF @huggingface and Unitree Robotics, HIW-500 offers the massive data scale required to solve real-world generalization: • 500+ hours of whole-body data • 23,000+ individual episodes • 10+ TB of raw data across 12 authentic homes • 10+ long-horizon tasks (sweeping, tidying, object manipulation) The data was gathered via a fleet of Unitree G1 humanoids utilizing a rigorous sensor stack: • Stereo head cameras (480p, 30 FPS) • Dual infrared (IR) stereo wrist cameras to eliminate visual occlusion during manipulation • Full 29-DoF kinematic states, IMU, and odometry Infrastructure hurdle solved: Hugging Face's LeRobot team re-encoded the raw data, compressing it from ~10TB down to ~2TB with ZERO loss of fidelity. Because the Unitree G1 is natively supported in LeRobot, researchers can pull these real-home trajectories and start training imitation or VLA policies today. A massive open-source step toward hitting the industry’s "80/80" benchmark (achieving an 80% task completion rate across 80% of unfamiliar, real-world scenes) for general-purpose robots.

What's the path to robot butlers in homes? Real-world data, diverse tasks, collected at scale. Beyond excited to open-source the largest humanoid teleop dataset ever with @UnitreeRobotics and @huggingface. Let's build 🦾

1/ Introducing HIW-500 (Humanoids-in-the-Wild 500): the largest open-source humanoid teleop dataset collected in real homes Built w/ @UnitreeRobotics @huggingface across 12 homes in Southeast Asia, it covers: > 500+ hrs > 23K+ episodes > 10+ TB > 10+ household tasks

1/ Last year we announced the $5M Grand Challenges Fund Our goal: to accelerate physical AI w/ open model competition + shared benchmarks in dexterity, manipulation, and navigation The 1st phase of the competition is coming to IROS 2026. Deadline to submit: July 3. Join us ↓

Can humanoids assemble IKEA furniture? We’re inviting researchers to test their policies at the Humanoid IKEA Assembly Challenge at @ieeeras IROS 2026. Co-organized with @UnitreeRobotics, @LightwheelAI, @singaporetech, and more. We’re providing all the resources, more info ↓
