What does it look like when a robot truly... understands where it is in the real world? It starts with Niantic Spatial’s Scaniverse, capturing a real-world environment and reconstructing it into a high-fidelity Gaussian splat. From there, our Robot Adventures demo simulates how VPS could localize a robot within that environment, mirroring 360° video of it navigating the physical space. 🔗Get started with Scaniverse today: #NianticSpatial #Scaniverse #Reconstruction #VPS #GeospatialAI #AI #PhysicalAI #Roboticsshow more

Most AI-generated worlds are optimized to look realistic. But... physical AI systems operating in the real world need something much harder: geometry that is physically consistent, spatially accurate, and grounded to real-world coordinates. Our latest Ground Truth blog breaks down how Niantic Spatial reconstructs georeferenced 3D environments from off-the-shelf drones, phones, and 360° imagery — solving depth, alignment, and surface consistency at scale. 🔗Read more: #NianticSpatial #Spexi #PhysicalAI #Reconstruction #GaussianSplat #DigitalTwins #Robotics #GeospatialAI #AI #GeospatialIntelligence #GEOINT #SpatialIntelligenceshow more

From seeing → to understanding → to following →... now to finding. In the last update, our robot learned how to recognize and follow people SR Agentic now evolves from human-following → to goal-driven object search. Give it a task like: → “find the white bottle on the table ” It will: • break down the instruction via LLM task planning • scan the environment in real-time • localize the object in 3D space • navigate and approach autonomously Step by step, capability by capability — from perception → to tracking → to task execution in the physical world. This is how real-world agentic robotics is builtshow more

The next manipulation tool may not live on your... screen. It may stand in front of you look into your eyes and convince you that it understands. Would you rather face a humanoid robot strong enough to hurt you or one designed well enough to make you trust it? This robot copies blinking, eye contact, head movement and facial expressions to create the illusion of human presence. That may look impressive but it also opens a darker question. When a machine can look concerned appear friendly and imitate emotion people may start trusting signals that contain no real feeling no empathy and no moral responsibility. So which is more dangerous a robot with physical power or a robot that can manufacture trust? #HumanoidRobot #Robotics #AIshow more

A robot just parked and docked a Citi Bike... by itself in the middle of NYC. 🤖🚲 We’re entering the era where AI won’t just think… it will interact with the real world beside us. 👀 #AI #Robotics #IoT #5G #Tech #innovation #SmartCitiesshow more

This is how Strike Robot turns Simulation into Reality!... One of the biggest challenges in robotics is ensuring that behaviors validated in simulation work reliably in the real world. For this experiment, we reconstructed part of a real laboratory at Eastworlds inside SR Platform. The generated layout was then deployed into MuJoCo. Using SR Agentic, the robot was tasked with finding abnormal objects in a cluttered environment and sending a Telegram notification when detected. Before deployment, everything is validated in simulation.show more

Hey #NeuraxonMini is literally out! , we manage to... "transplant" a Neuraxon 2 bioinspired #AI brain to a physical robot the #SpheroMini moving from our last Scientific Paper (link bellow) by David Vivancos - e/acc & Jose Sánchez for Qubic #OpenScience hybridized with #Aigarth to the real World. First you need a Sphero Education Mini robot about 50$ Then you can try the first cool demos at Hugging Face: 1.- Neuraxon2MiniControl to drive the sphero robot 2.- Neuraxon2MiniWrite to write letters or words with physical moves of the sphero robot using Neuraxon Video Tutorials on youtube later today. Why this matters? Remember we are not building "dead" LLMs we are building #AliveAIs and for that we need to explore how it behaves in reality, from how it learns to how it fails, and what better way that in the emerging field of #robotics , time will tell if your next #HumanoidRobot have a #Neuraxon brain...

Yeah! Teleoperation on low-cost robot arm from Tau Robotics... working natively at 200Hz with and a very simple code. We are working a video tutorial to make it easy for anyone to reproduce our setup (in simulation or with a real robot). Stay tuned 😋show 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

From seeing → to understanding → now to following.... In the previous video, we showed how the robot sees and navigates the world. This time, we’ve upgraded SR Agentic — it can now identify a designated person and autonomously follow them in real-time. Powered by perception + reasoning + adaptive navigation, the robot doesn’t just react - it tracks intent and moves with purpose.show 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

🚨 THIS IS HOW IT STARTS — HUMANOID ROBOT... SUDDENLY LUNGES AT A MAN — EXACTLY THE MOMENT PEOPLE FEARED A humanoid robot was casually kicking a soccer ball around during a public demonstration. Then the ball rolled toward a man in the audience. He tried to kick it back. That’s when the robot suddenly charged toward him and raised its arm like it was about to swing. Within seconds, a handler rushed in and grabbed the robot before the moment escalated. People in the room laugh nervously… but the clip is making the rounds online for one reason: The movement looks almost human. The way it runs. The stance. The arm coming up. Even the comments are losing it: • “Tf was it going to HIT for???” • “Why did it need to be held back?” • “DON’T TOUCH MY BALL” • “How do they get pissed off if they supposedly don’t have emotions?” The strangest part? The robot seemed to react the instant the human interfered with the ball. Are we just watching a glitch during a demo… or the exact moment people warned about?show more

I'll never forget how many people didn't understand what... I was doing with this proof of concept, and cried that it was impossible for a robot quadruped to handle recoil, and stay on target. Look where we are today. Ghost Robotics vision 60 on the range!show more

The most interesting part of this robot is not... the arm. It is the gripper. Instead of pushing the whole robot faster, this setup adds speed at the end effector. The gripper itself becomes a moving axis that can accelerate independently of the arm. That changes the physics of the system. • Faster cycle times without stressing the robot structure • Less inertia to fight against • Motion where it actually matters, at the tool center point It is a reminder that many performance limits in robotics are not solved by bigger motors, but by smarter mechanics. ——- Weekly robotics and AI insights.

Memo is a robot that uses AI to perform... household tasks effectively. Today Sunday announced its Series B, and we’re proud to be investors. Training robots for the home is hard — the environment is messy, dynamic, and full of edge cases. So Sunday is training robots directly on real households. Founders Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi built a glove-based system that lets hundreds of contributors record everyday tasks in their own homes, creating high-fidelity demonstrations that feed directly into robot learning. Home robotics will be defined by the companies that learn fastest from real homes. Sunday is building that loop. More here: Aaref Hilaly Amanda Huangshow 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
