Multi-robot learning is getting a serious boost! 📚 Researchers... have extended Isaac Lab to train heterogeneous multi-agent robotic policies at scale. The new framework supports high-resolution physics, GPU-accelerated simulation, and both homogeneous and heterogeneous agents working together on coordination tasks. They benchmarked different approaches (MAPPO: Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization and HAPPO: Heterogeneous Agent PPO) across six challenging scenarios and showed that large-scale multi-robot training is not only feasible, but efficient. It’s an important step for real-world robotic collaboration, where teams of robots need to coordinate, split tasks, adapt roles, and interact dynamically, not just operate as identical clones. The code is open-source, and it pushes Isaac Lab closer to what robotics actually needs: scalable, physics-driven environments where many different robots can learn to work together.

Generalist robot policies need a benchmark that works across... any robot and any policy. 🦾 Introducing RoboLab, a high‑fidelity simulation benchmark built on NVIDIA Isaac and Omniverse to evaluate generalist robot policies in diverse, photoreal, physics‑based environments. Coming soon to the NVIDIA Isaac Lab‑Arena roadmap for large‑scale, robotic policy evaluation. 📖 #NationalRoboticsWeekshow more

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

spent the holiday hacking on a method for generating... consistently tileable isometric assets and made a playable city builder demo to try it out! do you recognize any of these buildings?show more

Spatial AI ( is building large real-world datasets to... teach robots how to navigate the world and complete tasks. Their first open source dataset, SEA (Spatial Everyday Activities), is the largest curated egocentric dataset of people carrying out real tasks, with 10,000 hours of data.show more

Finished building out the Rerun and Gradio app for... SAM3D-Body, and I think it came out really clean! Under the hood, it's using three models 1. sam3d for exemplar segmentation based on the "person" text prompt. 2. sam3d-body for generating the 2d keypoints, 3d keypoints and mesh 3. mogev2 for intrinsic/fov estimation Really happy with how it came out. I'll probably start working on videos and multiview captures next!show more

🚀Thrilled to share what we’ve been building at TRI... over the past several months: our first Large Behavior Models (LBMs) are here! I’m proud to have been a core contributor to the multi-task policy learning and post-training efforts. At TRI, we’ve been researching how LBMs can help robots learn faster, better, and more efficiently. The key takeaways: ✅ We built an evaluation pipeline to benchmark LBM performance with real 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 ✅ Pre-training on hundreds of tasks makes models more robust—plus, we can teach new, complex tasks with 80% 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 ✅ The bigger and more diverse the pre-training, the better the results Check out our overview video, webpage and paper for more details: ✨ 🌎 📄 We hope this work helps move the field of robotics forward!show more

Qualia has been selected for the Google DeepMind Robotics... Program. We train embodied models that put a robot on a real manual task and make it work, on the floor, not in a demo. Foundation models and reasoning are where robotics is heading, and doing that work alongside DeepMind, who are pushing this frontier, is exactly where we want to be. If you are a company looking to see how a new generation of robots can help your manual tasks, contact us at [email protected] More soonshow more

Robotics keeps hitting the same wall. Single task RL... works, but... it does not scale to hundreds of tasks or new embodiments. This new paper looks like a real step toward fixing that. The team introduces MMBench, a benchmark with 200 tasks across many domains and robots, and Newt, a language conditioned world model trained online across all 200 tasks at once. The simple idea behind Newt: The model learns from demos to get the right priors It trains across many tasks through online interaction It uses language to ground the goal It adapts fast when a new task shows up What stood out to me: ✅ One model trained on 200 tasks at the same time ✅ Language conditioned control for both states and RGB ✅ Better data efficiency than strong baselines ✅ Strong open loop control ✅ Fast adaptation to new tasks and embodiments ✅ Full release of 200 checkpoints, 4000 demos, code, and benchmark This is a good push toward general control instead of one model per task.
