Designer Builds Desk Assistant With Robot Arms

Samuel Boylan-Sajous recently built Qubit, a wall-mounted desk assistant equipped with 3D-printed SO-100 robotic arms, LED face, and modular pegboard mounting. He trains the robot in high-fidelity simulation using NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab to teach complex manipulation tasks like folding laundry, compressing physical trial-and-error into minutes. Qubit's design files and source code are published on GitHub for replication and extension.
