    Sergey Levine participated in a 36-hour hackathon where an unreleased checkpoint of π0.7 was used to control an excavator, achieving second place. The policy, trained with about an hour of embodied data, enabled continuous dirt movement with a single prompt. The team also added a Nerf gun for safety, showcasing the practical application of AI in robotics.

    Quoted postsimon@nautsimon_

    Over the weekend, I put an unreleased checkpoint of π0.7 inside an excavator and placed 2nd at the @ActorLabs + @physical_int 36hr hackathon. With about an hour of embodied data (3 cameras and joystick values, no joint angles), the policy could continuously move dirt with a single prompt. This was so straightforward to get working (pi is cooking) we spent the rest of the hackathon mounting a Nerf minigun on the roof. We added a people searching/tracking + firing feature to prevent people from getting too close to the dangerous machinery (ai safety feature). Here’s how we built it + more details (data collection, hardware hax, sim2real, video of me getting shot)🧵

    Robotics Roadmaps from Around the World: Spotlight of the Month - China

    China is pursuing a strategic roadmap through its Five-Year Plans to dominate the global robotics industry, focusing on embodied AI and humanoid robotics. The 13th and 14th FYPs laid the foundation for industrial automation, while the 15th FYP emphasizes embodied intelligence, with state support for R&D and mass deployment of humanoids. Despite achievements in market share and production scale, challenges remain in precision hardware and semiconductor self-sufficiency, with risks of overcapacity and market volatility.

    Editorial context：This analysis provides a detailed overview of China's strategic approach to robotics through its Five-Year Plans, highlighting the shift from industrial automation to embodied AI and the challenges in achieving self-sufficiency in critical components. It emphasizes the role of state coordination, domestic manufacturing capabilities, and the risks associated with the rapid expansion of humanoid机器人.

    How do we run RL with real-time chunking (RTC)? In this work we figured out how to use a small RL policy with a large robot foundation model, where the RL policy observed more recent images (due to faster inference) and steers the policy toward better behaviors! A fun collaboration with Siemens, led by Brian Zhu, Momen Khalil, Emanuele Poggi from Siemens and @ehharrison4 from Berkeley, with lots of amazing contributors!

    Asynchronous VLA inference reduces inference delay, but breaks the Markovian assumption necessary for RL fine-tuning. How can we enable RL fine-tuning of VLAs with async inference? We introduce ARLI: Asynchronous RL with Intermediate Information! https://async-rl-intermediate-information.github.io/ (1/n)
