A student just trained this within a day, no... tedious tuning, no sim2real tricks, not even with sys-id. Worked in the first trial on the real robot. This explains the many recent impressive demos on G1 robot -- just the hardware. Still sim2real gaps on ankle and waist dofs tho.show more

Elon Musk today on Optimus robot: "You’ve probably seen... a lot of impressive demos of robots on the internet, but those demonstrations are pre-programmed or remote-controlled. There is no humanoid robot that can actually do generalized tasks. Optimus will be the first one that will be capable of doing that, in just a demo, it’s generally useful in day-to-day life."show more

System ID for legged robots is hard: (1) Discontinuous... dynamics and (2) many parameters to identify and hard to "excite" them. SPI-Active is a general tool for legged robot system ID. Key ideas: (1) massively parallel sampling-based optimization, (2) structured parameter space, and (3) active exploration based on Fisher Information to collect the most informative data in real. SPI-Active provides an accurate robot model and effectively reduces the sim2real gap. In sim2real policy learning setting, it outperforms baselines by 42-63% in various quadruped & humanoid tasks.

🧵 China’s humanoid robot race just entered a new... era. Not with a concept video. Not with a research paper. But with a robot walking on stage in Beijing… and talking live about the future of AI.show more

The New Internet Expands. First online board with no... backend. This is the first step toward an on-chain society. Not a demo. Not a promise. A real, fully on-chain feed. Own your data. Write forever. Just Code-In. 🔗 🔗show more

Sora's videos look impressive, but physics understanding and consistancy... is still not there yet. It was a quite simple script: "A humanoid robot standing near the table with red, green and blue cubes on it performs a cube stacking task, with red in the bottom and blue on the top." Pretty impressive that it still managed to achieve the goal, only not in a very usual way.show more

This isn’t a robot it’s a Dominican Papibot $tsla... Boston Dynamics just raised the bar again. The new Atlas moves with fluid, human-like coordination—then goes past human limits. Balance, recovery, and whole-body control are happening in real time, not pre-scripted demos. $nvdashow more

A humanoid robot took on the challenge of bamboo... pole dancing in south China's Guangxi, to welcome the "Sanyuesan," a traditional festival celebrated on the third day of the third lunar month by various ethnic groups in China, which falls on April 19 this year. #SanyuesanFestival #robot #BambooPoleDanceshow more

Meet #HillbotAlpha, the first fully autonomous mobile manipulation robot... trained using sim-to-real technology. Designed in Hillbot’s San Diego headquarters, Hillbot Alpha represents the potential of data synthesis via simulation in robotics. Through a robust strategy that combines a small sample of real-world data with synthetic data, Hillbot Alpha can effectively adapt to evolving task requirements and environments while working safely beside humans. #Hillbot #AGI #EmbodiedAI #AI #Sim2Real #ArtificialIntelligence #Simulation #Simtorealshow more

Chinese consumer electronics maker Honor will unveil its first... humanoid robot on March 1 at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. The robot is designed for retail & home service. The company sold a whopping 71 million smartphones in 2025. Looks like a customized Unitree G1 with a 2DoF neck.show more

PongFox is the world's first #tabletennis robot integrated with... a pad! Now, not only can you simulate serving and follow-up shots as if facing a real opponent, but our pad also tracks your accuracy by counting how many balls land on it during drills. This direct feedback offers a tangible measure of consistency, pushing your practice to new heights. Elevate your game with intelligent analytics. #NextLevelTraining #SmartTableTennis #india #hardware #Robotshow more

Then the student had a seizure right after 😳😳😳... WOW!!! She is okay now tho! Still don’t have the full story on how the fight started. I’m looking tho because I need to know. No kid gon fight a teacher for no reason. I know yal despise the young generation. They are disrespectful. But naw. That’s a lot.. and this teachers has a history of disrespecting students & This is not the first student she fought at the school.show more

You point at the mess and say "clean this."... That is the whole manual. Matic just shipped this. No app, no map to draw, no menu. The robot listens in more than 70 languages, watches where your hand points, and drives to that spot. Say "follow me" and it trails you into the next room. All of it runs on the robot itself, so it works with the WiFi off. Nine years of work for one thing: a machine you talk to like a dog that actually listens. Matic Robotsshow more

The next breakthrough for robot VLMs isn’t a bigger... model 🧠 it’s memory. RAL accepted ✅ We show that a robot can ground a VLM using its own real-world experience, not extra training. EXPTEACH/PRAGMABOT = self-generated memory + closed-loop reflection: Fail → diagnose → replan → succeed → store experience Next time → retrieve the right experience → succeed in one shot Results on real robot tasks: 36% → 84% with reflection (STM) 22% → 80% single-trial success with long-term memory (LTM+RAG) And yes, we saw tool use emerge without explicitly asking for it. If you’re fighting brittle “VLM plans” on hardware, this is for you. #AI #Robotics ANYboticsshow more

The Eno Genesis launch is pretty 🔥 No head.... No face. Zero exposed cables. Just locked in on pure function: Fast Facts • Unmatched Dexterity: 22-DOF hands precise enough to handle sticky tape and lab equipment. • Radical Transparency: A chest screen displays the robot's real-time reasoning before it acts. • Brainpower: Powered by the GENE foundation model. Two thoughts on this 1. I think is the start of reimagining form factor 2. This is just the beginning of “robot labs” rolling out humanoids. Expect many more to come even if they’ve positioned themselves differently publicly prior.show more

Excited to share a few presentations, demos, and workshop... talks from our group and collaborators at #ICRA2026! We will present recent work on real-to-sim-to-real robot policy evaluation, model-based planning with learned dynamics, and multi-modal manipulation. We will also have a joint live demo between SceniX and Analog Devices, Inc. on real-to-sim-to-real cable manipulation at the ICRA exhibition. This is a small teaser of what we have been building, with more to come soon! If you are at ICRA, please stop by the sessions or the demo booth. Happy to chat about robot learning, simulation, world models, and sim-to-real!show more
