WIRobotics, a robotics startup, partnered with AWS and NVIDIA through the Physical AI Fellowship to train their humanoid robot ALLEX to use human tools like power drills. The team fine-tuned NVIDIA's GR00T N1.7 foundation model on teleoperation data using AWS cloud infrastructure, achieving 100% success on drill grasping and 50% success on drill-to-bolt alignment.
WIRobotics has announced the beginning of building a Physical AI Development Ecosystem, with its first technology release being the ALLEX Simulation Model. This simulation model appears to be part of a broader strategy to support physical AI development.
