RobotMe summary
Dream Labs says it raised $90 million in seed funding and opened Dream API, which turns camera input and written instructions into robot actions. Its Dream-1 model is intended to transfer skills across different robots, beginning with gripper-equipped machines and tabletop tasks. Claims that it can control unfamiliar hardware without task-specific training come from the company and remain to be tested broadly by users.
Dream Labs has made its API available for developers to try. Its pitch is that video-based training can help a model transfer skills between gripper-equipped robots without collecting a full new dataset for each machine. Those cross-hardware and zero-shot capabilities are vendor claims; real-world reliability will depend on testing by users on varied robots and tasks.
