The physical robot showed minor simulation-to-reality performance gaps.
I vibe-CADed a hexapod walker entirely with claude/codex, learned the walking gait entirely in the 3d simulator, 3d printed the generated files, ordered the full BOM from amazon, assembled the thing. The fact that this is possible is amazing, but there's still some clear differences between the simulated world and reality 😀.
Positive users praise the hexapod robot built with Claude and Codex for its realistic animal-like behavior and exciting future potential, while a few dismiss the project as trivial or unproven.
@l2k This is so cool!! 🤩
I went back and reinforced the broken parts and it’s really starting to work!

@l2k The way it just gives up like a real animal dying is top notch.
@l2k sim to real is the final boss
@l2k 🤣you'll get there!
@l2k Only minor differences 😂 Amazing how much personification happens when it's physical - that thing is clearly struggling, poor spider!!
@l2k
@l2k OMG. How much bigger can it get?

@l2k this is awesome! what do you think you could've done differently to reduce the likelihood of failure? better simulation?
@l2k This is the worst it’ll ever be… 📈
@l2k Pics or it didn't happen
@realoutdoordad @l2k you can almost hear it whisper
"please kill me"
@l2k So close! Keep iterating 😀
@l2k 这不是大学生课后小作业吗
@l2k We're gonna get so many pet robots from this
@l2k There's a sign of life
@l2k @peteskomoroch 🤯
@l2k the sim-to-real transfer is the part i'm most curious about. what physics engine did you use and how much domain randomization did it need to walk on the real hardware?
