AR and Robotics is such an amazing combination The... video doesn’t do it justice but interacting natively in 3D space is intuitive and feels natural This is @Spectacles driving a Reachy Mini from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics Thanks again to SensAI Hackademy 🙂show more

Pollen Robotics, a Hugging Face subsidiary, has open-sourced Amazing... Hand, a 3D-printable, four-finger robotic hand with eight degrees of freedom (DoF). Weighing 400g and costing less than $250 - it is designed for Reachy2’s wrist but adaptable to other robots.show more

Something big is happening in robotics - and it’s... hiding in plain sight. This post is not about dancing robots but in the data that powers them. Open robotics datasets have exploded this year, turning the field into a more scalable and collaborative ecosystem. In just two years, Hugging Face datasets grew from 11k to over 600k - and robotics is by far the fastest-growing segment. We went from 1k robotics datasets in 2024 to 27k in 2025! For comparison, text generation, the second-largest category, has only around 5k datasets in 2025. That gap is massive. Open datasets are important because robotics lives and dies by real-world robot data - video, actions, sensors, failures. By making this data easy to upload, reuse, and benchmark, researchers, startups, and large players are now releasing real-robot datasets that would have stayed locked inside labs just a few years ago. Major contributors include NVIDIA, LeRobot initiative, and a rapidly growing maker community. This surge is also enabled by cheaper video storage, better tooling, and an open-source AI culture now spilling into the physical world. And it really matters: open robotics data dramatically lowers entry barriers, accelerates learning-by-doing, and speeds up progress toward generalist and humanoid robots. Robotics won’t scale through hardware alone - but to a large extent through shared data. Viz below from AI World - link to the story and more viz/filters in comment.show more

BaBot: A Ball-Balancing Robotics Kit BaBot is a do-it-yourself... ball-balancing robot kit designed as a hands-on platform for learning robotics and control systems. It enables users to explore concepts such as PID control, sensors, actuators, and software integration through practical experimentation. The kit is intended for students, makers, and others interested in applied robotics without requiring a formal engineering background.

You don’t need expensive hardware to build something that... feels like real robotics. An Arduino, a servo, and an ultrasonic sensor can scan space and turn echoes into a simple radar view. It sweeps, measures distance, and visualizes it in real time. Cheap, simple, and a solid way to understand how machines sense the world. Limits show up fast, which is where better sensing and smarter software come in. Original build by SunFounder —— Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free:show more

The SF Bay Area robotics community is incredible! Ilir... Aliu and I hosted a night for builders and experts to connect, and it was such a blast. Shout out to Carlos DP 🤖🇺🇸 Xenia Bulatov Vitaly Bulatov Emerson Segura Eren Chen Nima Zeighami CIX 🦾 for the awesome robots and the AR demos!! Thanks to the amazing Adam / AJ Chan for his event and hosting expertise!show more

I’ve been eyeing this robotics platform by Vicarius Surgical... for a long time and I am vi-curious to see what it can do. I like that the engineers/designers solved the surgical robotics problem in a different way. I wonder how strong it is and does it scaleshow more

Mondo is the most adorable companion robot. It’s safe... around kids, can track and follow a person, and capture high-resolution action videos. Mondo is also doing frontier research in humanoid Video-Action models built on a world model backbone: I have no doubt we’ll be hearing this name a lot in consumer robotics. Thanks Mondo Robotics Shuo Yang for the tour.show more

INSANE...this is an Open Source Video model available for... free on Hugging Face. LongCat just dropped an amazing video avatar model that can do crazy things. And it's 100% Opensource.show more

Beta 2 is mobile and allows the surgeon 360... degrees of visualization and access within the abdomen. It has 28 sensors per arm, replicating a surgeon’s natural upper body movements from shoulders to elbows to wrists. Video source: Vicarious Surgical #robotics #tech #healthcareshow more

Robotics is a data problem. Today, we’re partnering with... ABB Robotics, Universal Robots, and NVIDIA Robotics to deploy the Skild Brain across real-world industries from manufacturing to factory lines. This will help us build the world’s biggest data flywheel for physical AI.show more

Once you return from space, your body discovers that... Earth is no longer as intuitive as it once was. After weeks in microgravity, it has become remarkably efficient at living in an environment where up and down are merely suggestions. Reacquainting it with gravity takes time. Post-flight rehabilitation is a carefully designed program tailored to each astronaut, gradually increasing the intensity and complexity of exercises to retrain balance, coordination, strength, and endurance. The objective is simple: keep challenging the body until Earth feels natural again. At times, I was convinced that my instructor, Emiliano Ventura , had made it his personal mission to find new and creative ways to make me fall. But that is how you learn. By falling. Whether after a space mission or in life. #shux #space #shubhanshushukla #india #axiom4show more

🚨 JUST IN: Vice President Vance calls Supreme Court... Justice Samuel Alito "IRREPLACEABLE," but President Trump is prepared to make an impeccable replacement if he retires "Justice Alito is such an AMAZING guy. He would be irreplaceable — but if he retired, that's up to him, and we would try to do the best job in finding a proper replacement." Alito is a PATRIOT.show more

High school students built an autonomous ball-collecting robot! 🎾... A group of high school students built a robot that picks up balls and shoots them into a bin while moving without stopping, with impressive speed and accuracy. It combines mechanical design, sensors, and software making constant adjustments in real time while the robot is driving. When teenagers can build systems this sophisticated, the talent pipeline for the robotics industry is accelerating! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more
