🎙️ I talked with Stephan van den Brink, founder and CEO of @ManusMeta, the company behind some of the most advanced data gloves used in robotics: Not only robotics: teleoperation, motion capture, and embodied AI. Manus started as a small student project and grew into a deep tech https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1999118724561809699
A lightweight arm doing heavier work than you would expect. This one weighs 9.2 kg and can lift up to 12 kg. That already tells you a lot about the mechanical design and power density. A few details that stood out to me: • Controlled via a PlayStation joystick, simple and https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1999858501435158762
A signed Pilot Contract is not a “”Win.”” In 90% of Seed / Series A robotics startups, it is a trap. I see founders pop champagne because they got a logo on a slide. But when I look at the contract terms, I don’t see revenue. I see unpaid R&D. After analyzing 50+ deep tech”” / X https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/2000930384360382810
An ultra compact, high precision industrial robot arm. This one stood out to me because it targets a part of automation that is usually glossed over. Extreme precision in very small spaces. According to Oleksandr Stepanenko, the arm is designed from the ground up with fully https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1999406206398484754
Everyone thinks humanoids learn dexterity by watching millions of hours of video. Wrong! Make a fist… cameras go blind. A tiny Dutch startup fixed what billion-dollar labs couldn’t. 🧵 https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/2000215997064642799
Mastering control at very short time scales. A platform balancing a ping pong ball by continuously adjusting its motion. What looks simple highlights a hard problem in control. • Tight sensing, compute, and act loops running at millisecond scale • Smooth, stable corrections https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/2001004413381472400
People know robots can weld or palletize… far fewer realise they can now print metal with millimetre consistency. I saw this setup from @Meltio3D using @ABBRobotics arms, and it shows how far robotic metal AM has come. What stands out: ✅ Precise deposition along complex https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1999041110266511379
Peristaltic locomotion. –> The body of the robot worm is constantly in motion. [Paper ⬇️] This IEEE paper looks at a different way to think about locomotion in robots, inspired by how earthworms move. Instead of rigid segments or many actuators, the robot uses peristaltic https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/2000642669392048405
Turning human actions into robot-ready data is still one of the hardest bottlenecks in manipulation. @GZinMetaverse and @KyleHeJiang just shared a fully automated pipeline that tackles this problem head-on. Instead of collecting raw videos and hand-labeling everything, their https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/2000852066869166243
Watching this setup is a good reminder of where industrial robotics is already very mature.

Robots learning from human videos used to be a hard research problem. It turns out scale changes that. A new result from @physical_int shows an emergent property of large VLAs like π0.5. As pre training scales, the model naturally aligns human egocentric video and robot data https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/2001216734850646410
First look at a learning system running on real hardware. This is a simple demo, but still a meaningful milestone. What stands out is not complexity, but consistency. So far, what’s visible: • Smooth and repeatable motions • Stable execution from demonstration-only policies https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1999554110933062022
One smartphone at the core of a robot. The idea is simple but interesting: use a used smartphone as the main controller for a hobby robot, in this case a hexapod. Instead of adding separate boards and sensors, the phone already brings a lot of what robots need: – IMU and https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1999917129575833795
