Kimate Richards shared thisI will be Nvidia OpenUSD insiders series discussing robotics and the Nvidia ecosystem and our Aida robot with Oliver Choy 10Things tomorrow 11:30 am pst.Kimate Richards shared thisHow do you bridge the gap between a robot that works in simulation and one that can take on household tasks? Join NVIDIA Omniverse Ambassador Kimate Richards and Oliver Choy from 10Things on our livestream. They’ll share a practical look at how their team uses NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Cosmos, Omniverse and Jetson Thor to bring together simulation, data collection, training, and onboard autonomy for a real household robot.

Kimate Richards shared thisMany years in robotics taught me something the brochures leave out: the engineers who can actually make a robot move well — simulation, training, the endless tuning — are some of the rarest people in the field. At the advanced level, you don't really find them. You compete for them. Most teams lose that fight before it starts. That's the gap we built 10Things to close. We've pulled those people together — senior simulation, training, and tuning consultants, alongside mechanical engineers who've actually shipped robots — and put a platform underneath them so the things that quietly slip in a deployment don't: continuity, capability, repeatability. If you're putting robots into the real world, that's the bench you can borrow. 📺 https://lnkd.in/g4bJM3GR 🌐 www.10Things.tech 📩 info@10things.tech10Things Platform Overview — The Operating System for Physical AI10Things Platform Overview — The Operating System for Physical AI

Kimate Richards shared thisDay 1 at Automate, we have humanoids taking up space. Thanks Jeff Burnstein for a great show! NEURA Robotics and David has a great product vision. 10Things provides consulting for training, simulation and deployment to production for robotics.

Kimate Richards shared thisI’ll be at Automate by A3 in Chicago next week, June 22–25 at McCormick Place. Automate 2026 is hosted in Chicago at McCormick Place during those dates. I’d love to connect with robotics teams, manufacturers, integrators, and automation leaders who are thinking about simulation, robot training, deployment readiness, or scaling from prototype to production. At 10Things, we help teams with robotics simulation and training consulting across digital twins, sim-to-real workflows, embodied AI, robot learning, and practical deployment planning. DM me to schedule a time, or grab me on the show floor. #AutomateShow2026 #Robotics #Automation #Simulation #RobotLearning #EmbodiedAI #10Things

Kimate Richards liked thisKimate Richards liked thisSharing a side project with #GeminiRobotics ER 2 and NVIDIA Isaac Sim via ROS 2! 🤖🦾 #buildwithGemini Right after enjoying some downtime with my wife over the long weekend🇰🇷, I built an end-to-end Embodied AI proof-of-concept. This setup coordinates 3x Franka FR3 robotic arms to cooperatively assemble a tower using overhead VLA spatial reasoning and closed-loop control. Overall, that's pretty much it to use Gemini Robotics ER 2 as a task planner! I think the task should be harder than just building block towers, though🤔. Plus, there are some issues that'll take a few more weeks to fix. The project #buildwithGemini in robotics has been continuosly shared at the provided links: EP1 - departure: https://lnkd.in/g2-ybQMX EP2 - multi robot sequencing : https://lnkd.in/g6_veVAT EP3 - multi robot with random targets: https://lnkd.in/gBZXgD7t Technical Highlights; plz read comments 👇

Kimate Richards liked thisKimate Richards liked this🚀 NVIDIA just dropped 707 GB of real-world robot training data 🤖. And it’s now available on Hugging Face. Cosmos3-DROID isn’t just another video dataset. 📦 707 GB of robot data 🤖 71,907 episodes 🎥 22.4M+ frames 🌎 564 scenes across 52 buildings 🦾 86 manipulation tasks 🏭 18 labs across 13 institutions 📹 3 synchronized camera views + depth ⚙️ Robot states, torques, velocities & actions ✅ Success and failure trajectories Even better: NVIDIA converted the raw DROID data to LeRobotDataset v3.0, making it much easier to plug into modern robot-learning pipelines. This is the kind of dataset that helps move robotics from: “AI understands what the robot should do.” to: “AI learns how to actually do it.” 🤯 And the original DROID research reported roughly 20% average improvement in policy performance, robustness and generalization when co-training with DROID. The race for Physical AI just got a lot more interesting. 👀 🔗 Dataset: https://lnkd.in/gdg3xrrk 🔗 DROID Project: https://lnkd.in/g2RVGcQv 🔗 Research Paper: https://lnkd.in/giJ6KPFW 🔗 DROID GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gGrcArDM #NVIDIA #Robotics #PhysicalAI #AI #RobotLearning #MachineLearning

Kimate Richards reacted on thisKimate Richards reacted on this"Robotics needs people from outside the field, not just roboticists and electronics engineers." That was a Kimate Richards's answer on the "Build a Household Robot Workflow With NVIDIA Isaac and Cosmos" stream yesterday, when I asked in the chat where engineers from other industries should start. His point: if robots are going everywhere, we need people who know where robots will actually work and what jobs they'll do. A designer might shape a robot in ways a roboticist wouldn't. And there have never been more tools to learn from, so background isn't the barrier it used to be. The starting points that came out of it: ▸ NVIDIA's physical-AI path covering Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab (free, self-paced) https://lnkd.in/da4ez7fM ▸ Stanford CS223A, Intro to Robotics (free on YouTube) https://lnkd.in/dYMBsYsx ▸ MIT, Russ Tedrake's Underactuated Robotics (open notes + lectures) https://lnkd.in/d-HNzdqW ▸ CMU Robotics Institute lectures on YouTube https://lnkd.in/dm8jj2zw His last tip: don't start with "the nerdiest of nerdy." Start with the basics and work up.

Kimate Richards reacted on thisKimate Richards reacted on thisYou saw the dishes get done. Here's everything that happened before that clip worked. Two AgileX Nero Arms. Two Ability Hands. And no code written the normal way. I built the whole teaching interface by vibe coding with Claude. The trick: instead of programming every joint angle by hand, I set up a second pair of arms. When I move them, the robot arms follow exactly, in real time. I'm not typing coordinates, I'm teaching by moving. The hard part was the handoff. Passing a plate from one hand to the other means both hands have to agree on the exact moment to grab and release. We used standard PSYONIC grips to pull it off. And it did not work the first time. A lot of trial and error, a lot of "let's run it one more time," and a lot of me standing there ready to catch a plate. But builders build. And eventually, it worked. This is the same tech people use as their hands every day. The Ability Hand can do the dishes in my kitchen and can do life out in the world. What we build for robots, we build for humans. Now, on to the rest of the house! #AbilityHand #AgileX #PhysicalAI #ClaudeCode

Standard Bots
Manufacturers want automation. But the vast majority of processes they need to automate still fall outside what traditional robots can handle. By combining modern robotics with AI, we’re expanding automation beyond hardcoded programs that are too rigid for most modern workplaces. Listen to Standard Bots CEO & co-founder Evan Beard speak with Ilir Aliu on how his conversations with 100+ manufacturers shaped our approach — and how AI is redefining what’s possible on the factory floor. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eWB_ZahU #automation #robots #manufacturing

Neuracore
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 $𝟱𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀. Our ML team is integrating the Elephant Robotics mechArm 270 Pi with the Neuracore platform. The biggest barrier to learning robot learning isn't talent or ideas, it's access to expensive hardware. We've already open sourced Neuracore for academia. Now we're making it work with affordable hardware to remove that barrier completely. The mechArm 270 Pi integration is coming soon. If you're a hobbyist, researcher, or educator working with accessible robotics platforms, stay tuned. Robot learning is for everyone. We're building the infrastructure to prove it.
