When robots take the night shift shopping spree! 🛍️... Robots navigate through dm-drogerie markt Deutschland stores at night to create a digital replica of the store's layout, known as a "digital twin." Developed Ubica Robotics GmbH, these autonomous robots scan shelves to provide real-time information about item positions, pricing, stock gaps, and store layouts. 🏪 This data serves multiple purposes, such as improving staff routes, enhancing inventory management, and informing the creation of planograms for more efficient store layouts. It combines digital twin with robotics and it's really cool use case. What are your thoughts? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more

A robot mower on steroids! 💉 This mowing robot... can handle any bush. Literally. It's well-suited for work on PV farms, which are usually in remote areas and typically don't have permanent staff. I don't even need to mention the origin country. Chinese are cooking. This type of use case makes a lot of sense for robots. Someone mentioned that it's AI generated so, here's the OEM page: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →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

Digital twins make deployments! 🔄 Digital twins are more... than just simulation, they let you test and fix everything before touching real hardware. The biggest win is catching problems early. You can test the complete system virtually, including all the control logic and data flows. Finding a bug in simulation takes hours. Finding it on-site during installation takes days and costs serious money. The second benefit is predictable deployment. Instead of discovering surprises when the robots arrive, you've already worked through the issues in the virtual model. The third advantage is automation. The operator interface gets generated automatically from the digital model. The old way was: build the system, write all the code, install the hardware, then spend weeks debugging on-site. Cool example here! ;-) ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more

It's the little things that make me excited about... the future. Many people are (rightfully) worried that AI and robotics will take their jobs. Yes, it's about money they need to live on, and solutions are needed. At the same time, it's often work that's strenuous and tedious. So we can be glad when robots take these tasks off our hands. Furthermore, robots don't need breaks, vacations, or sleep. They can be scaled quickly and are efficient. Globalization, and humanity as a whole, can therefore benefit massively from this increase in efficiency.show more

Moving Atoms (YC S26): Scan to Sim is here.... Send us a LiDAR or SLAM scan of your factory floor, warehouse or yard, from any scanner. Upload multi-gigabyte scans straight from your browser (up to 200 GB per file). Within 48 hours you get back a simulation-ready digital twin of your real site. Every object is separated and editable, and accurate robot embodiments are placed right on your floor: autonomous forklifts, pallet AMRs, tuggers, tote robots and palletizing arms. Test the workflow before you build it. Try layouts, fleet sizes and routes, then watch the whole operation run sped up, before a single robot arrives on site.show more

China is scaling humanoid robotics at an insane speed.... Super realistic robots from Ex-Robots are now reportedly entering mass production 🤖 - Not prototypes. - Not lab experiments. - Actual production. The biggest shift happening in robotics isn’t just intelligence anymore. It’s making robots look and behave socially acceptable around humans. And honestly… we’re reaching the point where some people may not immediately realize they’re talking to a robot. Exciting future or uncomfortable future?

Rare-event discovery for robots training is what we’ve been... working on lately How would a robot react to an unusual event? What if a firefighter drone won’t be able to choke a fire (like on the video below)? Robo-doctors use cases? How to mass-produce these situations to train robots to see & react the best way? I think that open-sourced, world models like LTX can become the solution for such training process. And they might become the differentiator for the future of robotics. Of course, I’m not an expert in robotics and ML, but this topic makes me curious - and I’m curious about your thoughtsshow more

JUST IN: Reimagine Robotics has just emerged from stealth!... 🥷🏻 Its approach to robot training is one of the most human-centric I've seen. The founder is Jonathan Scholz, the person who built and led Google DeepMind's Applied Robotics team in London for seven years. This is not a first-time founder taking a swing at robotics. He has spent a decade at the frontier of the field. The philosophy is powerful. He calls it "monkey-see, monkey-do." 🐒 A worker shows the robot what to do. Watches it attempt the task. Corrects it on the spot. The robot learns. No specialist programmers. No months of integration. And it's already working in the real world: → A made-to-order plastics business trained robots to tend 3D printers overnight, removing print beds, operating latches, pressing controls → A hard drive disassembly facility built a three-robot cell combining robots and people to recover critical materials → Time to prototype and test a new robot behaviour reduced from one day to 10 MINUTES That last number is the one that changes everything. When testing a new behaviour takes 10 minutes instead of a day, the entire pace of deployment transforms. Scholz's framing of the human-robot relationship is worth reading carefully: "A robot that learns on the job depends on people. The worker identifies the bottleneck, shows the robot how to help, and corrects it until it is useful." It's August, and we keep getting robotics bangers week in week. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more

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.
