Full Physical AI tutorial: train and deploy your own policy on a low-cost SO-101 robot arm
philfung · x · 2026-11-06
kevinwoodrobot released an end-to-end robotics tutorial built around the low-cost SO-101 arm kit:
- Deploy your own AI model so the arm autonomously finds a sock, picks it up, and places it in a bin
- Covers the full robot learning pipeline: collecting robot data, training the AI model, deploying on hardware
- Shares real pitfalls: corrupted images, policies not working, and how he overcame them
- Step-by-step video walkthrough of setting up the SO-101
A rare complete reference for developers entering embodied AI / imitation learning on a budget.
