🚀Our New Paper on Open-Source Bipeda Robot MEVITA is... out! All components can be procured through e-commerce, and the robot is built with a minimal number of parts. All hardware, software, and learning environment are released as open source. 🌐 Thread👇show more

From simulation to reality 🤖 Robotics creator Skyentific built... a walking bipedal robot using a simulation-first approach to design, test, and iterating in virtual environments before deploying in the real world. Powered by the NVIDIA Isaac platform and NVIDIA Jetson for on-device AI and control. 📖 #NationalRoboticsWeekshow more

Pi Ventures-Backed OpenMind Opens Waitlist For Humanoid Robot Control... Pi Network (Pi Network) Ventures backed OpenMind (OpenMind) has opened the waitlist for Instabody, a platform that lets users remotely control a real humanoid robot. The company said users can see the world through the robot's eyes and directly control its movements. It believes giving people the controls will help shape how robots evolve. OpenMind previously launched a robot app store built on its OM1 operating system, allowing developers to add new skills to humanoid and quadruped robots.show more

An open source $400 robot arm. 3D printed. 1d... setup from not a garage but an MIT dorm. Free open source software. I will be building this and will write a how-to article. Software: Hardware:show more

A humanoid robot suffered an awkward crash during a... training session ahead of the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, China. The robot reportedly lost control after completing a sprint and slammed into a safety cushion, damaging its waist in the process. The incident quickly amused social media users, with some joking that the robot had “broken its HDMI.” Video Credit : Arise Newsshow more

Announcing our commercial partnership with Booster Robotics Booster builds... humanoid robot hardware, OS, and developer tools to make humanoid robots more affordable, reliable, and practical. The partnership centers on using simulation to multiply the value of real-robot data—expanding teleoperation demonstrations into scalable training data across diverse tasks and scenes. This joint effort powers sim-real co-training and foundation-model development, accelerating progress from hardware iteration to deployable robot policies. Together, we're building simulation‑powered data infrastructure for Physical AI — making scalable training data accessible to model developers and the broader robotics ecosystem.show more

How can we more effectively leverage robot data from... different embodiments for skill transfer? Excited to share that our new work, RoVi-Aug, has been accepted to Conference on Robot Learning as an oral paper！ WIth RoVi-Aug, you can augment an existing robot dataset into a different robot and different viewpoints. A policy trained on the augmented dataset can zero-shot deploy on the unseen target robot with significantly different camera angles! 🧵👇 🔗 Check out our paper:show more

Let's skip the metal humanoid robots for a moment.... Meet ultra-realistic humanoid robot friend, Aria, created by the sex robot company Realbotix. You can talk to her in real time, and she can even respond with emojis. These capabilities are beginning to spread to companionship, psychological therapy, and medical rehabilitation for elderly people living alone.show more

BaBot: The Ball-Balancing Robot - Real-time PID control on... a 2-axis platform, powered by a microcontroller using the same chip as an Arduino. - Precision servos and IR sensors track the ball with speed and accuracy. - Perfect for learning control systems, teaching robotics, or showing off your engineering skills. - Fully open-source & ready to build at Video Credit: Johan Link #engineering #technology #robots #roboticsshow more

Train a TensorFlow object detection model – then deploy... it on a robot 🤖 Iulia Feroli (Iulia Feroli) shows how to turn a notebook into a real-time object detection app. This tutorial works for any project – though we demonstrate the deployment on (and assisted by!) the #ReachyMini, an open-source robot from Pollen Robotics. Built with PyCharm + Claude Code. 👉 Watch it in action:show more

🤖Why is robot manipulation still an open challenge? This... video shows a kitting task -- packing multiple items into a single product. No robot today can do this autonomously. Big challenges = big opportunities for research and industry. #robotics #manipulation #automationshow 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

every "open-source humanoid" i click on turns out to... be a robot that stands still for one demo and can't be reproduced. roboto_origin runs and jumps, and every part is actually sourceable. structure, electronics, training code, all public. you can build this one, not just watch its video.show more

A student just sent a humanoid robot to collect... his diploma — and I can’t stop thinking about it. In China, a teen built a robot that walked the stage, shook hands, and graduated for him. At first, it seemed funny. Then it felt like a wake-up call. We’re still teaching students to memorize — while they’re out there building the future. If a student can graduate through a robot, maybe it’s time schools start catching up. Innovation or rebellion — what do you think? #AI #Education #Innovation #Robotics #FutureOfWork #Technologyshow more
