This is the first successful vertical takeoff of a flying humanoid robot with a steering wheel, developed by artificial and mechanical intelligence (AMI) in Italian isituto di Technology (IIT). The robot lifted ~ 50 cm from the ground while maintaining dynamic stability, thanks to advanced control systems based on AI and aerodynamic modeling.

We will have much more about this in the coming weeks!
As a first step towards our mission of deploying general -use robots, we are pressing the borders of what the end -to -end AI models can achieve in the real world. We have been training models and evaluating their capacities for skilled sensory policies in different realizations, environments and physical interactions. We are sharing manifestations of capacity in tasks that stress different aspects of manipulation: fine motor control, spatial and temporal precision, generalization through robots and configurations, and robustness to external disturbances.

Thanks Noah!
Ground Robotics Control is presenting Scuttle, our new elongated multililegada platform for mobility anywhere!

Teleperation has existed for a while, but what has not been is a precise feedback of force in real time. That’s where Flexiv intervenes to shake things. Now, whether it is on the other side of the room or worldwide, you can experience a perfect and high fidelity remote manipulation with a sense of touch.

This type of thing generally requires some human training, for which they would serve it better with Robot Arms with precise comments of real -time force. HMM, I wonder where you would find them …?

The 1x World model is a data -based simulator for humanoid robots built with a founded understanding of physics. It allows us to predict, or “hallucinate”, the results of Neo’s actions before they are taken in the real world. Using the 1x World model, we can instantly evaluate the performance of AI models, compressing development time and providing a clear reference point for continuous improvement.

Slapbot is a work of interactive robotic art of Hooman Samani and Chandler Cheng, exploring the dynamics of physical interaction, artificial agency and power. The installation presents a robotic arm equipped with a soft and inflatable hand that offers slapped through pneumatic performance, transforming a visceral human gesture into a scheduled robotic response.

I asked, of course, if Slapbot slapped people, and does not: “Despite their provocative concept and evocative design, Slapbot does not make physical contact with human participants. It simulates the gesture of slapping without delivering a real attack. The movements of the robotic arm are precisely choreographed to suggest the act, but maintains a safe distance.”

Thanks Hooman!
Inspecting the entrails of the ships is something that we would really like the robots to be doing for us, please and thanks.

Thanks Kostas!
H2L Corporation (hereinafter, called H2L) has presented a new product called “capsule interface”, which transmits movements and strength of the entire body, allowing new experiences shared with robots and avatars. A video of introduction of the product that represents a synchronization never previously experienced by humans was also launched.

This video demonstrates a heavy weightlifting test using the Dex Armstrong robot, focusing on a 40 kg biceps curling movement. Armstrong Dex is a double -arm hydraulic robot currently in development at the Atomic Energy Research Institute (Kaeri) for disaster response applications. Designed to perform tasks flexibly as a human while offering a high output power, Armstrong Dex is able to handle complex operations in dangerous environments.

We are growing in size, scale and impact! We are excited to announce the opening of our serial production facilities in the San Francisco Bay area, the Robotaxi Assembly installation specially designed in the United States. More space means more innovation, production and opportunities to climb our fleet.
