We recently had the pleasure of hosting a team from Meta in IRiS lab at KAIST. During their visit, we showcased a series of our ongoing projects through live demos and even hands-on demos where they try the robots for themselves.

Highlights included our hyper-realistic bimanual teleoperation system, enabling precise and intuitive remote manipulation.

Bimanual assembly task, demonstrating fine motor coordination using dual-arm robots.

To wrap up the tour, we showed our steerable soft growing robot navigating a complex maze, highlighting its potential for exploration in constrained environments.

It was a great opportunity to share ideas and get feedback from researchers working at the forefront of industry.
