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:

One more robot abuse clip. We can hopefully share more info about this bot soon. What we can say is that it will be affordable, focused on teleoperation, imitation learning and AI. A new humanoid player maybe?? 🤔🤔🦾🤖

How can we leverage diverse human videos to improve robot manipulation? Excited to introduce EgoVLA — a Vision-Language-Action model trained on egocentric human videos by explicitly modeling wrist & hand motion. We build a shared action space between humans and robots, enabling seamless transfer. With some robot demos, EgoVLA becomes a powerful, generalizable robot policy.

TESLA’S OPTIMUS BOT: COOKS, CLEANS, AND WILL CHANGE THE FUTURE FOR THE BETTER Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, isn’t just walking—it’s working. Designed to handle chores like cooking, vacuuming, and folding laundry, Optimus is Tesla’s leap into domestic automation. With sensors, neural networks, and a frame built for agility, it can navigate cluttered homes and messy kitchens while improving its skills over time. More than a sci-fi showpiece, it’s being trained to adapt to household routines. Think of it as a second set of hands—unfazed by spills or socks. It’s here, and it’s learning to make dinner.

Imagine having a ping pong robot! 🏓 Researchers and developers building physical AI: meet Reachy 2 from Pollen Robotics, an open-source, humanoid robot for real-world experimentation. It’s a bimanual mobile manipulator: each 7-DOF arm mimics human proportions and can lift up to 3 kg, giving dexterity for object handling. It can be controlled with Python and ROS2 Humble, or go straight into VR teleoperation, use a headset to move Reachy’s arms, hands, and head, and see through its cameras as if you’re in the robot’s own body. Want it to move around? A mobile base with three omnidirectional wheels, rich sensors, and LiDAR lets Reachy 2 navigate and explore its surroundings smoothly. 🗺️ Under the hood, it’s powered by a CPU system that’s ready for machine learning, perfect for loading AI frameworks and testing new models from Hugging Face directly on the robot. Keep making robots more, and more accessible Pollen team! ... and keep making more open source models to make robots more mainstream clem 🤗!

China has created an antelope robot — but why? Chinese scientists have released a robot disguised as an antelope onto the Tibetan Plateau. Their goal is to study the animals’ lifestyle and the ecosystem. According to Xinhua, the experiment was a success — the antelopes accepted the robot as one of their own and were not afraid of it.

This also shows up in the representations learned by the model. We plot the model’s representations of human and robot images. As pre-training is scaled up, the representation of humans and robots become more aligned: to a scaled-up model, human videos "look" like robot demos.

Check out the new interactive humanoid robot, Yogi, introduced by Cartwheel Robotics. Yogi is designed as a companion for everyday life, offering help and companionship in settings from hospitals to living rooms. It features soft silicone skin for safe touch, precision actuators for predictable movement, and simple, natural interaction. The robot continuously learns new abilities for greater utility. Cartwheel's founder, Scott LaValley, has a deep background, having developed over four humanoid systems. His expertise includes nearly a decade developing the Atlas robot at Boston Dynamics, followed by five years at Disney leading the team that created the Groot robot. This extensive, hands-on experience is key to Cartwheel Robotics' innovations.

Physical AI won't just be limited to controlling robots and spatial computing; it will usher in a new era of machine design. You will be able to "vibe design" a robot - or a part of a robot - or a machine that manufactures robot parts - using high-level specifications such as preferred architecture, material constraints, cost constraints, supply chain and geographic limitations and scalability. AI will provide preliminary designs that human experts can tweak and tune, corresponding supplier catalogs, and machining options. It will also project the talent and CAPEX required at various phases of hardware development.

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 →

Well, a humanoid robot can move on two legs or wheels, depending on the environment it faces. AGIBOT (Zhiyuan) from Shanghai revealed that their new generation of humanoid robot "Nezha" can autonomously switch to two wheels for fast movement when walking on two legs. Imagine that in the airport hall, when he walks down the stairs and sees a fallen object not far away, it can transform into a wheeled robot and move quickly to pick it up. Or in elderly care, when it see an elderly person fall, it can quickly move and help the elderly person up, and quickly provide medical supplies to the caregiver.

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!
