Unlock AI from the screen—teach AI real-world tasks, no coding required.

Vassar Robotics launches Navrim, a $200 robot arm that learns new tasks by demonstration without coding, using foundation models and optional integrations from providers like OpenAI or Anthropic. It targets robotics hobbyists and enthusiasts, enabling quick skill acquisition (e.g., playing chess) and plans to ship 20 units this month with ongoing model fine-tuning.
