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.
FindBot
Basement-built autonomous rover: custom BMS PCB, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and a neural net trained to push objects into a goal zone.
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.
Xiaozhi – ESP32 Voice Assistant
Fully open-source framework that turns an $8 ESP32 into a real-time autonomous voice assistant with local wake-word detection.
Threehalves – Centaur Rescue Robot
7-foot teleoperated centaur robot with a humanoid torso, quadruped base and quick-swap tool wrists, built for wildfires and disaster zones by a garage startup.
Axis Robotics Data Engine
Full Physical AI data collection and processing platform for training robots from simulation and egocentric video.
ESP-32 Zero-Latency Auto Aim
