Best Robotics on X
Arms, humanoids, fleet software and the data engines behind them. Physical AI, not robot clip accounts. 24 builds on this page, each with the original post.
Project Caribou
Open source 220 kg heavy-lift hexacopter, built from off-the-shelf parts in 18 steps.
quackd
CLI that puts Jev on a LeRobot SO-101 arm. Discrete steps go to Jev, angles stay with the LLM.
DexGPT
One video of a human hand becomes a real2sim pipeline. Tracking, IK to a 44-DoF hand, grasp refine. First-party, OSS.
EgoWAM
World action model that lets robot policy scale with in-the-wild human video. CoRL 2026. Code and data are public.
Microduck on Isaac Lab
The open-source duck robot, ported to NVIDIA Isaac Lab so it can run a different physics stack.
Cyclo Control pick-and-place
ROBOTIS OMY arm: Gemini reasoning, GraspNet 6-DoF poses, collision-free pick-and-place on ROS 2.
Microduck
25 cm open-source biped you train in sim and run on the real robot. $399, ships before Christmas.
HTD whole-body controller
Decoupled humanoid whole-body controller. Train on one GPU, drive it in the browser, zero-shot onto the robot.
DROID+
NVIDIA SRL's robot control stack, rebuilt so the hardware is actually easy to set up. pi0.5 doing the hello-world task.
handMediaPipeHands
85-line finger-tracking toy for Physical AI video cleanup. Claude Code plus MediaPipe.
HumanCLAW
Can a VLM act through a body? Open-source benchmark for action intelligence, decoupled from motor control.
Inverted Lambda Teleoperation
Human-in-the-loop teleoperation infrastructure aimed at creating an open, distributed learning network for robots.
Waddle Labs – Claude Code for Robots
Connect Claude-style agent workflow directly to physical robots. Describe the task and the system writes the code to execute it in ~20 minutes.
$4,199 Claude Code Robot
Physical robot you can program directly with Claude Code or Codex to help with real-world tasks like working on cars.
OOMWOO – DIY Robot Vacuum
Fully open-source robot vacuum you build for about $200: Raspberry Pi, 2D LiDAR mapping, ROS2 navigation and native Home Assistant integration. No cloud.
