The robot autonomously completed dozens of uninterrupted stair-climbing cycles.
A lot of engineering goes into making autonomy look simple
Here’s a 2 hour timelapse of F.03 repeatedly walking up and down stairs. Figure HQ is full of tests like this, each one helping push robots closer to fully autonomous systems
No gantry!

@adcock_brett how are humans able to do that without such rigorous testing ? I feel like something about the confidence and efficiency of learning things like this is missing ..might be something simple
@adcock_brett "What is my purpose?", "To walk up and down stairs", "Oh God". 😅
But seriously, this a major part of how robots are going to learn how to do things: learning by doing. There are no shortcuts.
@adcock_brett the tedious work, is important. neat stuff
@SirMrMeowmeow @adcock_brett It’s not. You should know better having been yapping my about machine learning for years
hmm disagree, unless we’re using “important” very narrowly. data curation matters, and can be quite tedious if not already pre-made. real-world evals matter. hardware wear/breakage matters. stairs in sim are not the same as stairs after hours of actual contact, calibration drift, weird edge cases, etc.
you gotta leave the sim eventually, not everything is glamorous :x
@adcock_brett like your statistical confidence , however you want to measure that ( beside part testing or something for durability ) should need 1000 crossings of the same stairs
@adcock_brett This is wild. 2 hours of stair practice on repeat - the progress on these robots is crazy.
@adcock_brett Make the stair heights uneven, then give the robot two bags of groceries to carry.
@adcock_brett bootstrapping the recursion more robots -> better robots -> more robots
getting off zero is brutal but it looks like we are there now
@adcock_brett okay😒
@adcock_brett Blazing!
@adcock_brett What’s the ETA?
@adcock_brett @Figure_robot Last I heard, figure has done around a million hours of data training with these huminoids. That’s hard to grasp. Even for me.
@adcock_brett how many times did it eat dirt? those failures are 99% of the engineering.
@adcock_brett Brett, can the stairs introduce variation that would be helpful for 03 to learn? Ie changing the flooring texture or angles faintly etc?
@adcock_brett Impressive, I was not expecting this level of progress in robotics this early in the game.
@adcock_brett you should add weight vests to these actions once satisfied with the current testing, 10 lbs then 20 lbs then 30 lbs then 40 lbs and finally 50 lbs weight vest.
@adcock_brett what about skipping a step like we all do.
@adcock_brett Please show the CV in the background every time. That’s so 🔥
