[00:27:18] S1: Mhmm. What's the under... Underrated robotics project or, like, research paper or something that you guys are following that are excited about? [00:27:28] S2: This is one called Robo Arena. It's not really algorithm per se, but they they have set a kind of, like, a real world evaluation, almost like leaderboard kind of thing where policies, new AI models are being tested by a distributed, like, network of people who provide a robust to to test these models. Because, like, this is a big problem, I will say increasingly even more important going forward. Like, there's no benchmarking, basically, in robotics. Every paper you read itself declares some such such way. You just have to trust that they did their work. Like, there's no fair. It's it's not... It's completely different from, let's say, in the, like, you know, and you have all the arenas, different benchmarks. Everyone kind of, like, don't want the benchmarks, and you can replicate it yourself. Right? But robotics, you can't. And so so robot arena is is a pretty smart way to do it. I thought it's... So... And we actually contribute our therapy to to it now. But I I would love to see more of this sort of, like, kind of project. Cool. Yeah. So that's the one thing. [00:28:31] S1: Amanda, do you have a favorite robot robotics project?
00:28:31 · Winnie, Amanda, Michael Cho
[00:28:31] S1: Amanda, do you have a favorite robot robotics project? [00:28:35] S0: So we were talking about like, what are the other types of data we could be collecting, via BitRobot? And so it's something that Michael interviewed the founder of, General Intuition, which is building models based off of video game data. So I've been spending some time looking into that and other kinds of ways that we could expand what we're collecting on BitRobot. [00:28:55] S1: Love. What's a robotics feature that you guys are personally excited to use or have in your homes or in your everyday? [00:29:04] S2: Oh, I mean, I I absolutely need a robot that can fold my... Do my laundry. Like, that [00:29:08] S1: that's Okay. Same. I'm like, that's, like, my number one thing I need you guys to nail down. [00:29:13] S2: Yeah. I'll pay top dollars for it, but it's gotta work, though. Like, I... You know, I think my wife have had pretty high standards. Yes. Yes. In the top things that being voted, those are So being high standards, but I... Yeah. It's very much... I'll I'll pick top dollar for it then. [00:29:29] S1: Well, Michael, when you get that, please send me one, and I will buy one too because I will want whatever annoyed you and your wife train to both close. [00:29:38] S2: Yes. Yes. Yes. [00:29:39] S1: Amanda? [00:29:40] S2: For sure. [00:29:41] S0: Yeah. I'm... I would say the Homebot as well, but, I mean, I'm less less concerned about laundry folding, more just, like, general cleaning. Yeah. Like, if they can clean the kitchen, clean the floors. [00:29:52] S2: And if

[00:29:52] S2: And if [00:29:52] S1: they can unload the dishwashers properly because I've been seeing some videos of them just absolutely missing there. Cool. Well, Michael, it's great to have you on Digitized Spotlight. And, Amanda, awesome to learn what you're up to. Where can listeners find and learn out more about BitRobot? [00:30:08] S0: So it would be our Twitter. So like, BitRobot network, our website, bitrobot.ai. And there you'll be able to find as well, like links to the live subnets and ways to get involved today. [00:30:22] S1: Awesome. I'm excited to check it out. Cool. Thanks for coming on the pod. [00:30:27] S2: Thanks for having us, Winnie. Good to be here. [00:30:30] S0: Thanks for joining us as we chat with Michael. It's been awesome to build out the BitRobot network over the year. Great to unpack it here. [00:30:37] S1: Agreed. It was an awesome conversation to learn about the future of robotics, how crypto can really play a role in advancing r and d and data collection. Follow us as we chat with more founders building at the intersection of consumer and crypto. Bye. Bye.
