AI StartupsHugging FaceAnnounced the open source of its robotics toolkitLeRobotThis move marks theAI RobotsThe R&D field has received a major boost. Previously, Hugging Face has successfully attracted former Tesla scientist Remi Cadene to join and lead this new open source project.
Core Features of LeRobot
- Open Source Robotic Toolkit: LeRobot is based onmaximumThe purpose of this paper is to develop a large-scale crowdsourced robotics dataset to promote the research and development of AI robotics technology.
- Comprehensive platform: LeRobot is not just a software package, it is a multifunctional platform that includes tools for sharing, visualizing data and trainingFirstA library of state-of-the-art models (SOTA). Users can access a large number of pre-trained models to quickly start their projects.
- Integration with physical simulators: LeRobot seamlessly integrates with physical simulators, allowing users without physical robot hardware to simulate and test their AI models in a virtual environment.
- Adaptable to a variety of hardware: LeRobot is designed to be compatible with a variety of robotic hardware, from simple robotic arms to complex humanoid robots.
- Lowering the entry barrier: By providing easily accessible tools and resources, the LeRobot project aims to lower the entry barrier for AI robot research and development and promote the common progress of the community.
Remi Cadene said that the next step for artificial intelligence is to apply it to the physical world, and the goal of the LeRobot project is to promote the community to work together to build AI robots, which is open to everyone. Cadene also demonstrated some of the capabilities that LeRobot can give to robots, including training robots to grasp objects and navigate in unknown spaces.
While LeRobot was open source, the field of robotics also witnessed other significant developments, such as the Tesla Optimus team announcing that the second-generation Optimus humanoid robot had begun working in the factory, Boston Dynamics released a new version of the humanoid robot Atlas, and Meetee Robotics launched the bipedal humanoid robot MenteeBot that can understand natural language commands.
Through the LeRobot project, Hugging Face is committed to building an open community that may redefine the field of AI robotics by lowering the entry threshold and promoting resource sharing. This open source spirit and contribution to the community heralds that AI robotics technology will enter a new stage of rapid development.
