The first thing we did when we landed in SF was to buy a $7K robot arm. Before we got funded by @ycombinator, we had been testing our policies on 3D-printed SO-101 arms. But there's a fundamental limit to the diversity of tasks you can perform when you have only have 5+1 DoF and limited payload strength. Now with our YAM bimanual arms, we're able to run our cloud inference of VLAs and WAMs and test them on this standard robot embodiment. Plus, an added benefit is that there are many open-source datasets (e.g. by @allen_ai and teams) that we can use to train models. The first of more robots
