FleetLab 1.0 is LIVE. Join us for the first-ever... Saronic hackathon — where your code will run real autonomous boats. We are building autonomous surface vessels from the ground up — designing hardware, software, and autonomy systems in-house and deploying them at scale. FleetLab 1.0 puts you in the middle of our work, challenging you to solve the same autonomy problems our team faces in the real world. Winning teams will watch their code deploy live on Saronic’s autonomous test vessels. Participants will choose one of three tracks: 📍 Track 1: UI: Visualizing Autonomous Decisions How should operators understand what an autonomous system is thinking? Design interfaces and apps that make autonomy transparent, intuitive, and mission-ready. 📍 Track 2: Autonomy + Navigation Develop logic, modeling, or machine learning approaches that improve decision-making in dynamic maritime environments. 📍 Track 3: Machine Learning Track Apply machine learning techniques to real autonomy-focused datasets and deployment scenarios. Are you a Texas-based student and ready to take on the challenge? Application link in the first comment!show more

This is Rivian's next-generation Autonomy hardware and software platform,... which the company says is a "self-improving, end-to-end AI system for our autonomy platform that scales." • 11 cameras (65 total megapixels) • 5 radars • New front-facing LiDAR • Powered by a new in-house designed chip called RAP1 (5nm TSMC) Rivian also detailed its software-first approach to autonomy, powered by the new Rivian Autonomy Platform and an end-to-end data loop used for training. The company introduced its Large Driving Model, a foundational autonomous model trained like a Large Language Model: "Utilizing Group-Relative Policy Optimization, the LDM will distill superior driving strategies from massive datasets into the vehicle."show more

Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) paradigms in autonomous driving primarily rely... on Imitation Learning (IL), which introduces inherent challenges such as distribution shift and causal confusion. Online Reinforcement Learning offers a promising pathway to address these issues through trial-and-error learning. However, applying online reinforcement learning to VLA models in autonomous driving is hindered by inefficient exploration in continuous action spaces. MindDrive, a VLA framework comprising a large language model (LLM) with two distinct sets of LoRA parameters. The one LLM serves as a Decision Expert for scenario reasoning and driving decision-making, while the other acts as an Action Expert that dynamically maps linguistic decisions into feasible trajectories.

Robora Sim: A PyBullet-Powered Environment for Learning Robotic Physical... Intelligence We are currently building our Robora simulation environment setup for our sim based learning, leveraging PyBullet, an industry-standard physics engine widely used in AI-driven robotics research and development. The environment is optimized with GPU-accelerated learning algorithms, enabling high-speed imitation learning and reinforcement learning within a safe and controlled virtual setup before shipping out to real world. This simulation platform allows our models to learn, adapt, and generalize across different robot morphologies, terrain types and task objectives - all before deployment to the real world. At it's core, the system combines a VLA-powered high-level planner with low-level motion control algorithms, working cohesively to produce emergent, physically intelligent behaviors. This synergy between simulation, learning, and real-world transfer marks a major step forward in our pursuit of adaptive and intelligent robotic systems. Through advanced domain randomization and synthetic data generation, the Robora Simulation Environment ensures that policies trained in simulation transfer effectively to real-world robots, minimizing the sim-to-real gap. Moreover, users will be able to test and integrate their own hardware kits within selected simulation environments in the Robora Dapp, ensuring seamless compatibility and safer real-world implementation.show more

Every year, the best young engineers in the world... compete at the FIRST Robotics Competition. This year, a team coached by one of our own came out on top. Jonathan Mi, an electrical design engineer at Shield AI, mentored Team 4414, HighTide, who took first place across 93,000 students, 3,700 teams, and 35 countries. They designed, programmed, and built their robot from scratch. Watch what it does. The strongest engineers build up everyone around them. That's who we hire. Congrats to HighTide, and when graduation comes, you know where to find us! Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.show more

Tokenization is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about... ideas in crypto. This year we’re aiming much higher. We don’t just want to tokenize miner revenue; we want to bring entire productive ecosystems on-chain. That means tokenizing baskets of assets, real energy infrastructure, AI agents, compute power, data centres, and even the cooling systems that keep high-performance hardware running at scale. All of it connected and interoperable with DeFi. Thats what we have been building throughout. A single on-chain framework that unlocks something genuinely powerful: real ownership, real yield, and real coordination between digital and physical infrastructure. From backend systems and front-end interfaces to smart contracts, AI, physical infrastructure, oracles, and autonomous agents, the stack keeps expanding and compounding. It’s about building the foundation for how value will be owned, deployed, and earned in the next generation of the on-chain economy. Simplified by PinLink.show more

A lot of you are thinking that the spring... which we will supply to Prakash Dadlani will be produced at the speed of 1304 ppm. That’s not true. All springs are not made on one kind of machine. The CNC machine we built that produces springs up to 1304 ppm manufactures compression springs. Whereas, the springs for Prakash bhai will be made on one of our 12-axis CNC wire forming machine. And on this the speed is much slower but it has flexibility to produce a number of different kinds of springs and wire forms. The design, type, materials, wire diameter and profile, features and precision of the springs defines what kind of machine will be used. It’s not one machine that does it all. This video is of that springs being manufactured on our other CNC machine. Also, the operator is setting the spring up that is why he is using his hands. Once it’s in production, there’s a crate underneath the machine for the springs.show more
