Hannover Messe. 2014 vs 2026.
Even back then they did striptease dances and grabbed all the attention. Nothing has really changed in terms of performance. If a humanoid interacts with you it sparks genuine joy. I feel it too.
There isn’t much utility yet but at least it’s fun.
The ElRobot URDF update is live! 🦾
What’s new:
✅tuned inertial weights;
✅updated joint limits;
✅new mimic joints for the gripper jaws.

See those robot arms perfectly mirroring every human movement? 🦾
That’s a "Leader-Follower" setup. But to understand how it teaches robots to interact with the real world, we actually need to talk about LLMs first.
A quick breakdown of physical AI: 🧵👇
Robotics is getting its Raspberry Pi moment.
This solves one of the biggest frictions in Physical AI:
Everything has been fragmented.
Different tools for control. Sensors. Calibration. Learning.
Now it’s one unified stack:
• motor control to VLA models in one system
• built for real hardware, not just simulation
-> norma_core_dev just entered PUBLIC ALPHA.
The real unlock is ElRobot:
• 7+1 DOF arm
• fully 3D printable
• ~220$ cost
• ships with CAD, URDF, full build guide
Not a demo…
Infrastructure.
And the part most people will underestimate:
auto-calibration for any robot
No manual tuning.
No trial and error.
Just:
code → hardware → working system
That removes one of the biggest hidden bottlenecks in robotics.
Which unlocks:
• faster iteration
• cheaper experiments
• real-world data loops
Exactly what Physical AI needs.
We’re moving from:
“Can we make it work?”
to
“How fast can we improve it?”
Thank you so much for sharing, @ErickSky!
