Sidekick Robotics Reaches Milestone in Robot Learning

We're pushing the frontier of how robots learn from humans. Sharing a milestone in our journey to make learning-from-experts work in the real world.

Sidekick Robot ML Update #1

Our robot's behavior is now nearly indistinguishable from expert demonstrations in simulation!

This week, our team got Sidekick 1.0's algorithm to imitate an expert benchmark at 95% fidelity - leading our physical AI agent to cross a major milestone in robot learning. Starting from baseline, our mighty team successfully trained the system to expert-level execution over 10,000 steps.

This isn't just progress - it's validation that we can teach robots to master complex skills with incredible precision.

The implications:

Reliable robotic capabilities you can actually deploy and trust.

Stay tuned for Update #2, where we're going to run this algorithm on different tasks! 🚀
