The robotics field is witnessing significant advancements with the introduction of Stretch 3 by @hellorobotinc, marking the third generation of the company's open mobile manipulator. This latest version emphasizes versatility and AI integration, aiming to make helpful robots a part of everyday life by collecting real world data, exploring tasks with real users, and creating real impact. Stanford's Computer Science Department, under the guidance of Professor @chelseabfinnis, is also making strides in robotic learning, particularly in the challenges humanoid robots face and the future of household robotics. Additionally, the Stanford Robotics Center is applying Generative AI (diffusion models) to robot training, indicating that low-cost, human-trained domestic robots could soon become a reality. The Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) has been introduced as a data collection and policy learning framework, facilitating direct skill transfer from human demonstrations to deployable robots, further underscoring the progress towards practical and affordable home robots. Users have noted Stretch's predictable and simple kinematics and cost as its biggest strengths, with the latest version being faster and better.
