Don't you have a haptic chair for VR gaming?... Don't worry, your friendly humanoid robot can help you with that! In a recent research paper from the University of Colorado, researchers experimented with using a humanoid robot to literally grab your chair and move it during VR racing sessions to make the game more realistic. And from the users' feedback, it seemed to work. I guess they took inspiration from those viral videos, where in some low-budget arcades, the owner literally moved the station with his own hands. I can't wait for the fail videos caused by this technology... Full video is available here: #VirtualReality #VR #technologyshow more

🚨BREAKING Unitree's IPO application on the Science and Technology... Innovation Board has been formally accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with a planned fundraising of 4.202 billion yuan. Of this, the intelligent robot model R&D project accounts for the majority, amounting to 2 billion yuan. In other words: For Unitree, hardware is no longer the problem,the real bottleneck that urgently needs to be overcome is the development of intelligent robot models. Notably, Unitree reports that it has sold over 5,500 humanoid robots,ranking first globally,making them the growth engine of its robotics business.show more

ANDURIL GHOST-X PARTNERSHIP We continue to seek out emerging... technology to enhance our operational capabilities and better serve our community. Recently, we hosted a live demonstration of the Ghost-X, an advanced unmanned aircraft system (UAS) designed to expand operational capabilities. This man-portable, autonomous, expeditionary platform allows, extended range and multi -payload adaptability for complex environments. Developed as a dual-use and modular UAS platform, we are exploring the opportunity to adapt this technology for public safety use in partnership with Anduril Industries . Training with this aircraft is scheduled to begin next month. As shown in the video, the aircraft is ruggedized and weather resistant, built to enhance situational awareness and mission flexibility in the challenging conditions we encounter. Stay tuned as we continue to evaluate and improve safety, efficiency, and response capabilities. Contact: Captain Shawn Millerick, Public Information Officer [email protected]show more

🚨 BREAKING: NVIDIA just announced the Isaac GR00T Reference... Humanoid Robot. The first fully open humanoid robot reference design built on Jetson Thor, and it's going straight to the world's top research institutions. This is Jensen Huang's bet on open physical AI infrastructure. The hardware stack is serious: → Unitree H2 Plus chassis, 6 feet tall, 150 pounds, 31 degrees of freedom → Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands, 22 degrees of freedom, bringing total to 75 across the full body → NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor onboard compute, 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI performance, 128GB unified memory → Multi-view sensing, stereo head camera, wrist cameras, IMU Alongside this announcement, Unitree also introduced the H2 Plus as a standalone product, a frontier humanoid combining Unitree's own body, Sharpa's five-finger hands and NVIDIA Robotics Jetson Thor compute into one fully integrated research platform. The full Isaac GR00T software stack ships with it, teleoperation for data capture, open foundation models, Isaac Sim for training, Isaac Lab for evaluation, and accelerated ROS middleware for deployment. The complete loop from data to real-world robot in one unified platform. ETH Zürich, Stanford Robotics Center, UC San Diego and Ai2 are already on board as launch research partners. NVIDIA Robotics did to AI what it's now doing to robotics, build the platform, open the ecosystem, let the world build on top of it. Whoever owns the infrastructure layer wins. NVIDIA knows this better than anyone. 👀 Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more

A monowheel security robot from Estonia! 🇪🇪 Rollo Robotics... just raised €3.7M pre-seed led by FoodLabs and PROTOTYPE to bring the world's first stable autonomous monowheel robot to market. Founded by Arno Kütt (the mind behind Cleveron) and Sander Sebastian Agur, this Estonian startup has cracked what they call the "stability paradox" of the monowheel. Instead of clunky multi-wheeled platforms, Rollo uses high-frequency sensor fusion and proprietary balance control to create a slim, agile robot that navigates tight urban spaces and industrial corridors where traditional robots simply can't fit. The application? Autonomous security patrolling. With hybrid threats to physical infrastructure growing, the demand for scalable robotic security is massive. The funding will go toward two things: hardening the tech for extreme weather and high-traffic environments, and scaling production to meet demand from early pilot programs. 💰 P.S. Monowheels have been sci-fi for decades. Excited to see if Rollo can make them practical at scale. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more

🚨 BREAKING: Walden Robotics has just come out of... stealth with $300 million in funding and a $1.1 billion valuation. Another unicorn in the robotics space. 🦄 Just 6 months after incubation. The company was spun out of Toyota's robotics research lab by co-founder Russ Tedrake, a former Toyota Research Institute executive and MIT professor who taught a course on robotic legs. The seed round was co-led by Deviation Capital and Toyota, with participation from: NVIDIA, Boeing, Samsung Ventures, CoreWeave Ventures and AE Ventures. The robot is already working. A pilot is live at a North American Toyota factory where a Walden humanoid is pulling eight-hour shifts alongside human workers, loading and unloading car parts, cleaning machinery, kitting for assembly. A shift. Every day. Walden builds its own hardware, software and AI models, designed to continuously learn and improve in real production environments. Tedrake's words on the opportunity are worth noting: "Everyone recognises the magnitude of the opportunity and the technology feels ready, but success is not assured. You have to think through the business case, the unit economics, and how to marry the best of manufacturing and logistics with disruptive AI technology." Rare honesty in a space full of hype. The race to own that market is accelerating every single week. 🤖 Great story by Bloomberg here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more

This drone doesn’t just carry objects it grabs them.... 🤯 Meet Ring-Rotor, a retractable quadrotor developed by researchers at Zhejiang University. Instead of using a robotic arm, the drone changes its shape and surrounds the object, allowing it to grasp and transport different payloads in mid-air. The frame can also shrink by about 31%, helping it pass through tighter spaces. No hook. No cable. No external gripper. The drone itself becomes the gripper. 🎥 Media: Yuze Wu , Fei Gao & Zhejiang University ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

🪖🇸🇦 Saudis looking to China, Pakistan & Turkiye for... security as trust in US erodes - expert Saudi Arabia’s calculations are being shaped by erratic US policy that prioritizes Israeli interests, with Saudi and wider Gulf Cooperation Council concerns “coming second,” Prof. Mohsin Raza Khan, Associate Dean at O.P. Jindal Global University’s School of International Affairs, tells Sputnik. As Saudi Arabia contemplates outsourcing its security, China’s role remains indirect - channeled through Pakistan, whose air defense, electronic warfare, and fighter capabilities are heavily reliant on Chinese systems, he notes. With a formidable air force, Pakistan could offer a security umbrella, while Turkiye would add a drone and naval technology edge, together forming a potentially viable defense triangle.show more
