Qiayuan Liao wanted to get into robot manipulation and set out to build a full stack that scales, planning to copy @GeneralistAI's gripper as a weekend project — it wasn't. Together with @tk233, he documented every design choice and lesson along the way and released Specialist: fully open-source hardware, data pipeline, training, and deployment code. Scobleizer转发表达羡慕。
