I'm Charles Yong, CEO of Vassar Robotics.\n\nWe're excited to announce the launch of Navrim, our first robot, designed to make advanced robotics accessible to everyone! 🚀\n\nhttps://youtube.com/shorts/YFE3qJ51ihg\n\nTraditional robot programming has always been complex, costly, and time-consuming, putting it out of reach for many enthusiasts. With Navrim, we've changed the game. Our $200 robot arm, powered by cutting-edge foundation models, enables anyone to effortlessly teach robots new skills—like playing chess—in less than 30 minutes, without writing a single line of code.\n\nHere's how simple it is:\n\n* Demonstrate a task to your robot arm.\n* The robot quickly learns by fine-tuning its foundation model.\n* Enhance its capabilities by connecting extraordinary intelligence from leading providers like OpenAI or Anthropic, turning your robot into an intelligent being.\n\nIn just the past week, we've fine-tuned 12 foundation models for our early users, and we're preparing to ship our first batch of 20 units by the end of this month.\n\nOur mission is simple: Bring cutting-edge AI directly to robot enthusiasts everywhere—starting today.\n\nReady to join the robotics revolution?\n\n* Pre-order your robot now: [https://vassarrobotics.com/](https://shop.vassarrobotics.com/products/wattles-your-personal-ai-robot)\n* Questions or curious to learn more?
