Whoa!! @maticrobots got that the first 10/10 review in 17 years! 🤯🤯🤯 Now we must live up to it!! Bar just got higher...
- My hero, my father, passed away exactly a month ago. Everything I am is because of him. He made the ultimate contrarian bet when he decided to send me to the USA at age 15. Every single person in our family told him he was stupid and making a big mistake. It took me a very long
- If HW is 10x harder than software, then shipping robots is 10x harder, than HW. I am happy so many robotics companies are trying. Keep at it — happy to be shipping after 7 years of grind.
all these dumbass robotics companies have ever shipped is a landing page - We in Silicon Valley are well versed in SW, so happy to shed light on realities of HW. All @maticrobots are assembled and shipped from Mountain View, California, but components come from around the world: cameras from France, motors from Japan, and so on. We’d love to sourceMatic is made in America but has to increase prices 14% due to Trump’s tariffs
- Can we call it a clean sweep! ✅@WIRED: 10/10 ✅@verge: 9/10 (6-months of testing) 🏆@ZDNET: Editor’s Choice award 🏆@Gizmodo Editor’s Choice award ✅@wirecutter: positive (that’s always a win? 😇
- Rust had been godsend for us! Another super power for small teams! maticrobots.com/blog/why-rust-…
Replying to @fsfarimaniOur whole stack at @maticrobots is in rust. Millions of lines of code. Median age of SW team is 25 yo. We've never faced a single seg fault, memory leak, data races over 100s of robots running 24x7 for last one year. The rust type system is really good! - 🔥🔥🔥🔥“Then I met Matic. It’s a complete rethink of the household robot. From design and navigation to cleaning performance and mobility, it’s been built from the ground up to address the problems of today’s robot vacuums. And it succeeds.” 🫡😍🥰
- We've trained a voxel occupancy neural network to build live 3D maps using regular cameras. It runs at 3ms on nvidia A40 & 30ms on jetson nano orin Training takes 5 days on 0.7M images from our @UnrealEngine simulation @maticrobots @mehul @navneetdalal vis in @rerundotio 🔥
00:00 - Since so many of you asked, here's the timeline of our adventure It all started in 2018 - Proof-of-Concept — Jupiter (code name for the prototype) The indoor world doesn’t have Google Maps or GPS. Hence, to build fully autonomous indoor robots: *** We have to give robots theWhat an adventure. HW takes time... keep building!!
- 💥🎉“The software that powers Matic is just as novel. … Using artificial intelligence, Matic adapts to the layout of your home as it changes.” - NYT Wirecutter (109 kB)
- .@Figure_robot: Here's the 3D Map I Built .@maticrobots: hold my beer 😇 (cameras at humanoid-eye-level using our tiny floor cleaning robot)

Robots have been busy walking around the Figure office 🤖 This is a 3D map generated by the humanoid on-board cameras
