A simple idea. Let robots collect the data that current foundation models are missing. A robot that gets better by doing real work in the real world. For two weeks in the Stanford East Asia Library, Scanford scanned shelves, helped librarians, and improved the vision language model it depends... on. The idea is very simple: Robots do useful work. They gather the real world data foundation models never see online. They fine tune their own model They go back out stronger A full loop. What they found in deployment: ✅ 2103 shelves scanned with multilingual, faded, occluded book spines ✅ 18.7 hours of librarian time saved ✅ Book ID accuracy jumped from 32.0 percent to 71.8 percent ✅ English OCR improved from 24.8 percent to 46.6 percent ✅ Chinese OCR improved from 30.8 percent to 38.0 percent The most interesting part is the shift. Robots do not only consume foundation models. They create the data these models are missing. A clean robot powered data flywheel. Work. Collect. Fine tune. Repeat. Thanks for sharing, Jenn Grannen!

Robots are getting smarter, but most still fail the same way. They don’t learn from their own mistakes. A new paper proposes something different: a way for robots to self-improve directly from their failures in the real world. It’s called PLD (Probe, Learn, Distill). The idea: instead of collecting endless human demos, let the robot figure out where it fails, learn how to recover, and then distill that knowledge back into its main model. Key takeaways from the research: ✅ Uses residual reinforcement learning to recover from policy failures ✅ Achieves 99% success on LIBERO and 100% on real Franka and YAM arms ✅ Runs hour-long manipulation tasks without human resets ✅ Builds a feedback loop between real-world data and model adaptation Unlike supervised fine-tuning, which relies on humans, PLD learns from the robot’s own experience. By training on its own failure distribution, the model becomes both more efficient and more aligned with the real world. It’s not just a technical shift, it’s a step toward robots that improve themselves through real-world practice. Thanks for sharing, Wenli Xiao !! Paper and demos: —- Weekly robotics and AI insights.

What if robots could improve themselves by learning from their own failures in the real-world? Introducing 𝗣𝗟𝗗 (𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗲, 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻, 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹) — a recipe that enables Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to self-improve for high-precision manipulation tasks. PLD couples real-world residual reinforcement learning with standard supervised fine-tuning — letting robots discover, recover, and distill their own data flywheel. Quick 🧵

Robots might learn better from video than from language! 📼 Most Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models learn what to do from text, but still struggle with how things move in the real world. That makes them data-hungry and slow to train. mimic video takes a different route. Instead of grounding robot control in text, it grounds it in video, using large pre-trained video models that already capture physical motion and dynamics. The idea is straightforward: let the video model handle “what will happen next,” and let a smaller control model focus only on turning that visual plan into robot actions. The result is big gains in practice. Robots trained this way need 10× less data, converge twice as fast, and perform better on both simulated benchmarks and real bimanual manipulation tasks. If robots can “imagine” motion using video, control becomes a much simpler problem. Shoutout to Jonas Pai, Liam Achenbach, Oier Mees, Elvis Nava and the rest of the team!

What if robots could learn real-world tasks from your perspective… without ever touching a robot? This is a system that trains robot policies using nothing but human-first, egocentric video data from smart glasses. No robots, no teleop, no sensors, just humans doing real tasks in the real world. Why it matters ✅ Learns robot policies from 20 minutes of human video; zero robot demos ✅ Generalizes to new objects, views, and even robot morphologies ✅ Uses 3D points for interpretable, spatially grounded learning ✅ Deploys directly to real-world robots with strong zero-shot success Thank you, Vincent Liu, for sharing!!!

$Most robotics teams can make a robot move… very few can make it work every day in the real world! @roboforce_inc was just featured in Jensen Huang’s GTC keynote, not for a demo but for a robot they claim is already working in the field. Their system, TITAN, is built for industrial environments: ✅ 40 kg dual-arm payload ✅ millimeter-level precision ✅ 8 hours runtime ✅ early pilots in energy, logistics, and manufacturing They call it Physical AI: The focus is on getting robots to do the kind of labor that still depends on people: repetitive, risky, and physical. IMO, what stands out isn’t the specs. It’s the claim of 11,000 robot orders❗️ If even a fraction of that turns into real deployments, it would make RoboForce one of the most widely scaled robot platforms in the world!!?? The open question is whether this shift from prototype to production is real or just the next phase of robotics storytelling. It looks very promising to me. It’s also interesting how their founder openly pushes back against the humanoid trend, arguing for wheels over legs in real industrial settings. It’s an unusual perspective in a time when humanoids get most of the attention. If they are right, the next humanoid robotics wave might look less like a human and more like an industrial version.

Foundation models are enough to solve robotics! Unfortunately, this is not true. We keep hearing that Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models struggle because of the gap between static training and the dynamic real world. A German startup (Sereact) just released a solution that bridges this gap perfectly. They are introducing a new paradigm called Interactive RL Policy Patching. It's a distributed framework that allows robots to self-learn from human corrections without needing full retraining. When a robot fails, a human operator provides a brief "patch" or demonstration. The system then uses online off-policy reinforcement learning to update the behavior instantly. This is powered by a massive foundation model trained on hundreds of millions of interactions from over 100 deployed robot stations. The best part is the distributed parameter synchronization... When one robot learns a fix, the update is published fleet-wide... meaning the entire swarm gets smarter from a single human intervention. They are already proving this on complex manipulation tasks like shoe unboxing and screw sorting, drastically reducing the data needed to handle edge cases. Real-world environments are unforgiving, and I love seeing systems that can actually adapt on the fly! 📍 More info:

We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive hardware. No robot-specific data. Stanford open-sourced everything → hardware, code, datasets. What stands out to me is the bottleneck. Not algorithms. Data. Teleoperation → ~35 demos/hour UMI → ~111 demos/hour And the data transfers across robots → UR5, Franka, others. The design is surprisingly practical: → GoPro fisheye lens (155° FOV) + mirrors for depth → SLAM + IMU for precise 6DoF tracking → latency matching for dynamic tasks → diffusion policies for multimodal actions Then it scales. Cheng Chi takes this further with Sunday Robotics (with Tony Zhao). A $200 glove → deployed in 500+ homes → ~10 million real-world interactions. Not lab data. Real human behavior. Their robot learns dishes, laundry, espresso → with zero robot-specific data. This is where the shift becomes obvious. From training robots in controlled environments → to learning directly from humans at scale So here’s the real question: Will robotics be unlocked by better models… or by unlocking data? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

Been looking into RICE AI ( ◉ - ◉ ) lately, and it’s one of the few projects actually tackling a real challenge in robotics and AGI: the lack of high-quality training data. Robots can’t get truly intelligent without it. They building a decentralized way to collect and share robotics data, using a DePIN network to train physical AI foundation models. The project was even hand-picked by CZ as a winner of the Dubai BNB Chain Demo Day, and it’s backed by Floki while also being part of the NVIDIA Inception Program. They also launched FLOKI Minibot M1 - a small AI companion that doubles as a data node. Every interaction with it feeds the RICE AI Foundry, the first decentralized platform for Robotics Foundation Models, and contributors earn $RICE tokens in return. And it’s working: – 800 minibots sold in 24h – 33,000% oversubscribed Binance IDO – 500+ robots already deployed worldwide Feels like a project with real long-term potential. Worth keeping an eye on.

Ghana’s economy has truly found its rhythm again. Real GDP surged by 6.3 percent in the first half of 2025, up from 5.1 percent last year, powered by a revitalised agriculture sector, a booming services industry, easing inflation, and renewed business confidence across the country. Even more encouraging is the 7.8 percent growth in non-oil GDP, a clear sign that Ghana’s momentum is now being fuelled by the strength and creativity of our own domestic production. The services sector is roaring back to life, jumping 8.8 percent, with ICT skyrocketing by 17.2 percent, finance and insurance rising 9.5 percent, and education expanding 14.9 percent. Agriculture, our anchor of stability, accelerated to 6.0 percent growth, doubling last year’s pace, while cocoa made a remarkable comeback from a 21.4 percent slump to 2.8 percent growth! On the demand side, households are spending again, with consumption up 8.2 percent—proof of rising confidence. Government spending has cooled to 3.7 percent, signalling firm fiscal discipline, while exports jumped 11.5 percent on the back of gold, cocoa, and non-traditional exports. This is the kind of growth that creates jobs, lifts incomes, restores hope, and builds lasting prosperity for all.

China-based TARS Robotics demonstrated a humanoid robot performing two-handed hand embroidery during a public showcase on December 22, marking a notable step in fine motor control for humanoid systems. The robot threaded a needle and stitched a logo using both hands with sub-millimeter accuracy, working with soft, flexible materials that are difficult for traditional industrial robots to handle due to deformation and variability. According to the company, this capability is enabled by a closed-loop "Data-Al-Physics" system that connects real-world data collection, embodied Al models, and physical execution, reducing the gap between simulation and real deployment. The models are said to be open source when released. Founded in February 2025, TARS Robotics has moved quickly from research to live demonstrations and has raised over $240 million in early funding from the Chinese government, reflecting growing interest in general-purpose humanoid robots for precision and dexterous tasks.

I don’t know if we live in a Matrix, but I know for sure that robots will spend most of their lives in simulation. Let machines train machines. I’m excited to introduce DexMimicGen, a massive-scale synthetic data generator that enables a humanoid robot to learn complex skills from only a handful of human demonstrations. Yes, as few as 5! DexMimicGen addresses the biggest pain point in robotics: where do we get data? Unlike with LLMs, where vast amounts of texts are readily available, you cannot simply download motor control signals from the internet. So researchers teleoperate the robots to collect motion data via XR headsets. They have to repeat the same skill over and over and over again, because neural nets are data hungry. This is a very slow and uncomfortable process. At NVIDIA, we believe the majority of high-quality tokens for robot foundation models will come from simulation. What DexMimicGen does is to trade GPU compute time for human time. It takes one motion trajectory from human, and multiplies into 1000s of new trajectories. A robot brain trained on this augmented dataset will generalize far better in the real world. Think of DexMimicGen as a learning signal amplifier. It maps a small dataset to a large (de facto infinite) dataset, using physics simulation in the loop. In this way, we free humans from babysitting the bots all day. The future of robot data is generative. The future of the entire robot learning pipeline will also be generative. 🧵

Robot trained entirely in simulation! 🤯 Sudo AI just released #sudo R1. This could be the moment the data bottleneck in robotics finally breaks, a major step forward for getting simulation-trained robots to actually work in the real world. #sudo R1 is a manipulation foundation model that reliably picks objects it has never seen: glass, fabric, metal, irregular shapes. All with zero real-world training data. No tele-op. No demos. No manual labeling. Pure simulation. And picking isn't just any skill, it's the foundation. Almost everything we want robots to do starts with being able to reliably pick something up. Data collection is the bottleneck holding the whole field back. Every new task means hours of tele-op and armies of labelers. If simulation alone can actually deliver production-grade picking, that bottleneck starts to disappear. Really exciting to see! If the results hold, the path to general-purpose robots just got a whole lot shorter. 👇 Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Over the last few months, we’ve been thinking about how to learn from “off-domain” data - data from non-robot sources like video or simulation. These data sources are not quite good enough to learn policies (even monolithic VLA models) directly, but they still contain lots of information that can be useful for generalizable robot control. How can we develop robot learning models that are able to make use of this type of data for generalizable control? In new work, that we call HAMSTER, we show that VLMs can be useful for enabling robotic learning from off-domain data, but specifically when used through hierarchical VLA architectures. We show that this class of models can learn generalizable robot policies for the real world from large-scale, off-domain data. A 🧵 (1/10)
