@solinas_in It could save a lot of lives

Col Rakesh Shishodia (Retd)1 month ago

@solinas_in These kind of robots have applications for military and disaster relief too. Special forces can use these to carry out surveillance or mapping of sub terrain structures. Great work!

@solinas_in with wheels. clogs, corrosion, solids, whatever else cakes the walls in pipelines that accrue wet, slippery fouling and narrow 90 degree intersections...and @solinas_in is like "wheels are the perfect mobility implementation here" is it that easy to scam for funding these days?

Utsav Patel1 month ago

@solinas_in Great to see more investment in robotics tackling dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs. Underground pipeline inspection is a perfect application where AI and automation can improve both worker safety and operational efficiency. Congrats to the team!

@solinas_in Why it is copy of genrobotics

The Embodied Era1 month ago

@solinas_in Amazing. Strong example of robotics solving work that is both invisible and dangerous. AI-powered robots into buried pipelines can replace risky manual inspection, detect failures earlier and turn sewer maintenance from reactive guesswork into data-driven infra management.

RoboFeed1 month ago

@solinas_in Sending a robot into a sewer pipe instead of a person is one of those robotics use cases that needs zero convincing. This is exactly where the ROI is obvious

I’m Shawn, founder of former researcher at Meta and CS PhD at University of Cambridge. Today we’re launching we built the world’s first Large Visual Memory Model - to give AI human-like visual memories. Why visual memory? AI to date is chat-based, which has great applications, but humans are not only chat based. Humans have visual-memories, and are visually driven. enables AI agents, softwares, and even robots to see and remember the world the way humans do. We just raised an $8m seed round led by Susa Ventures to build the visual-memory layer for AI. Why is so groundbreaking? 👇

We're very excited for to come out of stealth today. We Altimeter Capital co-led their seed round with TLV Partners, and believe they're building a crucial layer in the AI stack. It's clear two things are happening simultaneously - AI systems are making more consequential decision while their risk is going up (see Hugging Face incident). An existential questions becomes "how can you prove a model did what it was supposed to do?" Attestable is building this exact integrity and verification layer for AI, using zero-knowledge proofs to verify the right model ran on the right inputs and called the right tools. As agent workloads become longer running, verifying each step becomes even more important. The technical breakthroughs the Attestable has made to get here are incredible. Zero-knowledge proofs used to carry a 1,000,000x compute overhead, making them completely impractical for AI. The Attestable team has gotten this down many orders of magnitude, making ZK for AI something that can actually be deployed. We'll need this kind of integrity / security solution in a post-quantum world :) From securing model weights, to proving open models are backdoor-free, to giving agents verifiable identity - Attestable is building the integrity layer for an AI-powered world. As co-founder Yogi puts it: every token should be a proven token. More below from my conversation with Yogi

Existing backers NVIDIA's NVentures, Boldstart, Spark, Bezos Expeditions, and NFDG followed on. Notable angel additions: Fei-Fei Li, Naval Ravikant, and Xiaomi co-founder Bin Lin. Founded by alumni of OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Boston Dynamics, the team is building foundation models that span humanoids, robot arms, mobile warehouse robots, and autonomous space systems. GEN-1 (April 2026) hit 99% reliability on diverse tasks and 3x faster execution than prior models. The new funding will help scale models, the data engine, compute, and commercial deployments.. GEN-1 model in action, fully autonomous:

Robots that climb skyscrapers to clean and inspect them! 🧼 Verobotics has built autonomous robots that clean and scan building exteriors, allowing building owners to proactively maintain and upkeep their buildings faster, cheaper, and smarter. The problem is decades old. The only way to clean or inspect a building's exterior has been to lower a person from a BMU (Building Maintenance Unit) at the top of the building. BMUs are heavy, can be out of service, complicated to operate, and limit cleaning to a couple of times per year. Their robots are lightweight, portable, and need no equipment on the roof. One person can deploy multiple robots to the building's facades and let the robots do the rest. Once they're done, the building owner not only has a clean building but also a digital twin of the building exterior for documenting health and identifying issues before they become risks. Robot spots a crack? Noted! They're equipped with onboard cameras that scan the surface, detect window frames to crawl over, and ensure not a spot is missed. That means a consistent result and thorough inspection every time. Onboard sensors continuously detect motion, location, and the surface beneath and around it. The data feeds to a hub that analyzes the surface in real time, building datasets that become the backbone of a digital twin for predictive maintenance. Love seeing the specialized robots bringing value from day 0! :) ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →
