Robots struggle with strict action rules…memory and symbols help them learn fast. [Project + Full video link ⬇️] Robots struggle when tasks require specific steps in a fixed order. What if memory helped them think symbolically and learn faster? Solving tasks like unlocking a door then opening it is hard for deep RL. But by learning constraint relationships and storing them in memory, robots can solve these tasks much faster; with fewer trials and less training. Why it works ✅ Learns symbolic rules about action constraints ✅ Uses memory to transfer what it learned across tasks ✅ Handles real-world exploration with just 30 minutes of data ✅ Needs 10x fewer episodes than deep RL approaches This memory-based method shows a promising path forward for robots learning structured, real-world tasks. Full video: Paper: Thank you, Mrinal Verghese for sharing this amazing work! 🙏

🚀Thrilled to share what we’ve been building at TRI over the past several months: our first Large Behavior Models (LBMs) are here! I’m proud to have been a core contributor to the multi-task policy learning and post-training efforts. At TRI, we’ve been researching how LBMs can help robots learn faster, better, and more efficiently. The key takeaways: ✅ We built an evaluation pipeline to benchmark LBM performance with real 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 ✅ Pre-training on hundreds of tasks makes models more robust—plus, we can teach new, complex tasks with 80% 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 ✅ The bigger and more diverse the pre-training, the better the results Check out our overview video, webpage and paper for more details: ✨ 🌎 📄 We hope this work helps move the field of robotics forward!

Some random thoughts reading through the new RobbyAnt VLA paper: - 20,000 hours of data across 9 robots!! - damn, Chinese companies are going to trivially outscale the American ones on real robot data - It's really cool they train on depth; it means they can handle transparent objects really well for example - You can never tell how good these models are without trying them, since everyone trains on different robots, but from the results they show it does seem to clean up - cross embodiment scaling laws are really cool - if you have lots of robots do you need human video??

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 Huang

Robotics keeps hitting the same wall. Single task RL works, but... it does not scale to hundreds of tasks or new embodiments. This new paper looks like a real step toward fixing that. The team introduces MMBench, a benchmark with 200 tasks across many domains and robots, and Newt, a language conditioned world model trained online across all 200 tasks at once. The simple idea behind Newt: The model learns from demos to get the right priors It trains across many tasks through online interaction It uses language to ground the goal It adapts fast when a new task shows up What stood out to me: ✅ One model trained on 200 tasks at the same time ✅ Language conditioned control for both states and RGB ✅ Better data efficiency than strong baselines ✅ Strong open loop control ✅ Fast adaptation to new tasks and embodiments ✅ Full release of 200 checkpoints, 4000 demos, code, and benchmark This is a good push toward general control instead of one model per task.

The next breakthrough for robot VLMs isn’t a bigger model 🧠 it’s memory. RAL accepted ✅ We show that a robot can ground a VLM using its own real-world experience, not extra training. EXPTEACH/PRAGMABOT = self-generated memory + closed-loop reflection: Fail → diagnose → replan → succeed → store experience Next time → retrieve the right experience → succeed in one shot Results on real robot tasks: 36% → 84% with reflection (STM) 22% → 80% single-trial success with long-term memory (LTM+RAG) And yes, we saw tool use emerge without explicitly asking for it. If you’re fighting brittle “VLM plans” on hardware, this is for you. #AI #Robotics ANYbotics

Teaching robots how to paint! 💅🏼 This painting robot, for example, mimics human movements with precision to handle repetitive, and tiring tasks. A special device memorizes points in 3D space, which are then sent to the robot's control. The result? A robot that, after a single demonstration, can perform a given action. Keep in mind that it's taught as 'fixed'. 👨🏻‍🔧 That is, it will not be able to react to an anomaly or changing environment. But ultimately, with fewer workers available and many avoiding tough, dirty jobs, robots are helping industries stay efficient and safe. ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace!

What if your component model had a first-class place to put async work, with interruptible, independent tasks and without needing to trace a reactive dependency graph and accidentally DDoS yourself?

New research from Databricks: LLMs Can Learn to Reason via Off-Policy RL Optimal Advantage-based Policy Optimization with Lagged Inference policy (OAPL) shows you don’t need strict on-policy training to improve reasoning. It matches or beats Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), stays stable with large policy lag, and uses ~3× fewer training generations. For Databricks customers, it’s a simpler, practical, and equally powerful approach to RL that Databricks is pioneering internally — and bringing directly to Databricks customers, so enterprises can improve agents using the same methods we use for our in-house agents, without complex infrastructure changes.
