Full ABC release is out: pretraining recipe, sim eval toolchain, data and code, all open. Proud that XDOF contributed the data side of this effort. More open releases like this are how robotics models become accessible to everyone. Congrats to the team on CoRL 2026.

It's hard to believe it's been almost two years since we started XDOF. What began as a conviction that robotics needed a new infrastructure layer has grown into a company supporting some of the most ambitious teams building robot foundation models. This milestone belongs to our

Definitely a fun project. My biggest takeaway is that varying the camera viewpoint really makes the learning more robust.

I first learned the term "holonomic" during a conversation with @jimmyyhwu while experimenting with the AgileX Ranger Mini. Despite being omnidirectional, the Ranger Mini isn't holonomic. Initially, I thought this distinction didn't matter—until I tried to make the base follow

When will robots help us with our household chores? TidyBot++ brings us closer to that future. Our new open-source mobile manipulator makes it more accessible and practical to do robot learning research outside the lab, in real homes!

Huge thanks to @3dsystems for the loaner haptic device! I've always seen a really old one sitting at our lab even since I was a undergraduate but never actually tried it. It’s pure magic—being able to feel the shape, texture, weight, and physics of objects right in mid-air. It’s
