Robotic factories that build robots

About Tensr

Robotic factories that build robotics in the US. Currently operating a 12,000 sqft factory in the Bay Area and actively manufacturing customer orders for some of the largest robotics companies in the US and the International Space Station. We’re a group of Berkeley graduate robotics researchers who previously won a full scale autonomous IndyCar competition at 160mph.

    Robotic factory building robots. We're running a 12,000 sqft factory manufacturing everything from full humanoids to robots for the International Space Station. Industrial automation is far more than robotic grasping models. It's supply chain, logistics, design iteration,

    Released on @berkeley_ai blog, recent work by @michaelpsenka M. Rabbat @ask1729 @ylecun @_amirbar — long horizons in visual world models punish naive gradients, GRASP reshapes them (lifted virtual states, noised state iterates, action-friendly descent) so planning stays stable
