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

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

For 41 years, to find shortest paths in a... graph, the Dijkstra’s algorithm, was seen as the best possible way. Not any longer: Now a team from Tsinghua University has beaten it. They created the first faster algorithm for directed shortest paths since 1984. • Faster than Dijkstra on large sparse graphs • Works with real, non-negative edge weights • Proves that sorting is not the main bottleneck anymore Shortest-path algorithms power maps, GPS, logistics, networking, and robotics. This result shows that even the most “finished” algorithms can still be improved. Thanks for sharing, Md Ismail Šojal 🕷️! 📍 Paper: —— Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free:show more

During a meeting with President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip... Erdoğan in Istanbul, we discussed bilateral relations between our countries, as well as the situation in Europe and the Middle East. It is important that joint and coordinated actions strengthen the protection of life and help deliver greater security to people in every part of the world. We agreed on new steps in security cooperation. This primarily concerns areas where we can support Türkiye – expertise, technology, and experience. There is firm political readiness to work together, and our teams will finalize the details in the coming days. We discussed practical steps to implement joint projects in developing gas infrastructure, as well as opportunities for joint development of gas fields. I am grateful to the President and the people of Türkiye for their consistent support for our independence and territorial integrity. We value our close cooperation over all these years, which enables us to work on truly significant projects that can strengthen our entire region.show more

Tactile interaction in the wild can unlock fine-grained manipulation!... 🌿🤖✋ We built a portable handheld tactile gripper that enables large-scale visuo-tactile data collection in real-world settings.
