Overview
Toyota Research Institute Robotics (TRI) in Los Altos, CA, pioneered diffusion policy for manipulation, large behavior models, and dexterous bimanual skill learning. TRI's Punyo humanoid uses soft, compliant surfaces for whole-body grasping of large and heavy objects. TRI is also developing GarageGC for robot skill acquisition and deployment.
