Congratulations! This looks really great. What've you found to be the best hands / end effectors these days? When do you think we'll have good, reliable 5 finger hands that are ~reasonably priced?

Anyone have good intro recommendations for VLAs?
(I work at Pi.)
We open-sourced Pi0 (referenced in this post): https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi

Is the robot platform they're using something they've developed themselves? The paper doesn't seem to mention any details outside of sensors and actuators.
Off the shelf robots -- we've got our models running on dozen+ different robot types (and have this specific generalization demo working on multiple platforms too.)

Uh Oh, you hit the front page.
Let's count to 5 until we get:
"Hi, this is xxx (CEO/CTO of Stripe), this should not have happened. Drop me a mail at xxxx@xxx.xxx and I will have a look at this. (-: "
Can we get a CEO in here? A CTO at least? Come on Stripers, I know you are reading this.
I'll bite. I _worked_ at Stripe. Stripe has no authority in decision making here, the issuing bank decides (eg the customers bank) who wins and losses chargebacks. Stripe is a conduit of information, not a party to the decision.
(I work at π.)
Happy to answer any questions on the model, hardware, etc

It's funny that the company was founded 6+ years ago and this product has been in development at least since that time, but all of a sudden it's all about AI? We really going to pretend all these features weren't shoveled in in the last 3 months by buying a ChatGPT API token?
Recognizing the food you are holding and coming up with a calorie count was the only part of the demo I found genuinely cool, but I also know that AI tech isn't far enough along to get anywhere close to accurate results right now in the real world.
Something like AI Pin might be ubiquitous like the smartphone at some point in the future, but right now isn't the time for it, and Humane may or may not be the company to eventually crack the code.
(i'm an investor in the company, and invested over 3 years ago.)
this product has always been about AI—what they launched is almost exactly what they pitched me. their expectation of where the world going ended up being prescient.

Yay privacy out of the window...
AI wants to see and hear everything with access the Internet.
Otherwise its hell of an interesting concept!
Reminds me of the Robot Assistant in "flubber"
(i'm an investor in the company.)
this is probably the most privacy-forward hardware device on the market—you have to physically be making contact with the device for it to begin listening (at which point an LED is prominently visible) and it will stop listening as soon as you break contact.
