Demonstrating our latest localization system in action. At bootup, the robot has no prior position estimate, but within seconds it autonomously localizes itself using a fusion of three algorithms. Unlike our previous version, this updated system incorporates vision, allowing the robot to adapt to real-world changes (e.g., moved furniture)... show more

Testing robot policies on hardware is slow, expensive and hard to scale. World models offer a promising path to accelerating robot policy development. We're sharing new research from the Runway Robotics team, in which we simulated 8 robot policies inside our General World Model and found 0.95 correlation with real-world results. Those early results point to world model simulation as a practical substitute for hardware evaluation, comparing favorably to existing real-to-sim approaches. Learn more at the link below.

Climbing stairs is one of the biggest challenges for humanoid robots, but PNDBotics Adam is now doing it with ease. In a latest demo, the robot smoothly climbed real-world outdoor stairs without any support, even on uneven steps. The robot stays balanced and moves naturally after being trained to quickly adapt to different surfaces.

Look what our robot built!! Home StreetView FTW. All on the edge device -- if it can see it, it can clean it. If it can see it, it can manipulate it...(shh!!). WARNING: This is not a lab demo. It's a real robot, in a real home, solving real problems! Thanks to our incredible team Matic Robots, our fearless leader in Navneet Dalal, and incredible partner NVIDIA for enabling this!

This is Delta, a deformable multirotor robot developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo that can both fly and roll using its flexible body design. It uses a thrust control system to move efficiently in the air and on the ground, allowing it to adapt to different environments. This capability makes it useful for tasks like disaster response and long-duration operations, introduced in 2024.

SkildAI, which is developing a foundational AI model for robots, has released a new video of their humanoid robot walking over objects and exploring environments it had never seen before. The robot is using vision & adapts in real time. SkildAI: "From raw images and joint feedback, the model directly outputs low-level motor commands. This single neural network enables humanoid robots to seamlessly walk across flat ground, climb stairs, and step over obstacles without any planning, mapping, or manual switching between behaviors. For all of our testing in this video, we deployed the robot in each new environment without any prior planning or mapping. We took off the humanoid’s shoes so you can hear it.

The coolest part of Microduck might not be the robot. It's how it learns to move. This repo shows the full reinforcement learning pipeline behind Microduck. The robot learns in simulation using MuJoCo, PPO and GPU-based training, then the trained policy is exported to ONNX and deployed on the real robot. But the real challenge is sim-to-real. The simulation models things like actuator behavior, battery voltage, command delays, friction and even gear backlash. That helps make the learned policy work when it moves from simulation to the physical robot. The repo includes policies for walking, fall recovery, sitting, standing, kicking, ground picking and even roller skating. Train in simulation. Test the behavior. Export the policy. Run it on a real robot.

Robotics and CV! 👓 Computer vision gives the robots a sense of vision and additional intelligence. Pralines are packed by a delta robot using computer vision. Packing chocolate pralines into a box with the delta robot. Unlike most robots, this one has a fixed TCP, and the base moves in response to vision data. To adjust the base, the vision system determines exactly where the praline is located on the conveyor belt. 🍫 Using this application, the system knows where each praline should be placed based on its orientation. A true engineering showcase!

🚨🇺🇸FIGURE ROBOT LEARNS TO WALK IN HOURS Turns out you can teach a robot to walk—if you’ve got a few years to burn in a physics simulator (or a few hours of GPU time). Figure’s team trained a neural network using reinforcement learning to mimic natural human locomotion, and the wild part is it worked on the first try with real hardware. No tuning. No fiddling. Just plug and strut. Thanks to sim-to-real transfer and some sneaky domain randomization, the robot didn’t just wobble out of the lab—it walked like it had somewhere to be. Next up: running. Not terrifying at all. Source: Figure

We’ve all seen humanoid robots doing backflips and dance routines for years. But if you ask them to climb a few stairs in the real world, they stumble! We took our robot on a walk around town to environments that it hadn’t seen before. Here’s how it works🧵⬇️

Modern AI is confined to the digital world. At Skild AI, we are building towards AGI for the real world, unconstrained by robot type or task — a single, omni-bodied brain. Today, we are sharing our journey, starting with early milestones, with more to come in the weeks ahead. Our Mission: Artificial General Intelligence grounded in the physical world. We believe AGI that can truly understand and reason in the real world can only be built through grounding in the physical world. Our Vision: Any robot, Any task, One brain. We tackle robotics in its full generality – building a continually improving, omni-bodied brain that can control any hardware for any task. Who are we? A passionate group of scientists & engineers driven by our shared vision. We have been researching AI and robotics for more than a decade. Our team includes pioneers of self-supervised learning, curiosity-driven exploration, end-to-end sim2real for visual locomotion, dexterous manipulation, learning from human videos, robot parkour, and many more. Many of these works have won awards at top-tier AI and Robotics conferences. Our team has also built production-ready systems at Anduril, Tesla, Nvidia, Meta, Kitty Hawk, Google, Everyday Robotics, and Amazon. Join us in our mission to build the robot brains of tomorrow.

Today we're incredibly excited to announce Dreamscale Labs (YC F26) (YC F26)! We're an applied research company putting robot brains in the cloud. Robot AI models are growing larger and on-board compute is getting increasingly inaccessible due to cost. We're taking a contrarian bet that the future is moving inference off the robot and into the cloud, while still meeting real-time deadlines required by robot motion. We're building the real-time inference infrastructure that enables frontier physical AI models to run smoothly on your robot. We optimize for low latency across the full stack: from the model, down to the GPU kernels, and over the network. Our mission is to unlock a future of safe and intelligent robots doing meaningful work, and we think this is only possible by letting you deploy and run robot models in the cloud. Reach out to us at founders@dreamscalelabs.com or visit our website at to learn more. Kevin L Antoine Nguyen Eric R

The future of home cleaning just landed in Shenzhen and it is walking right into your living room. 🤖🏠 X Square Robot and officially launched China’s first robot home service, moving embodied AI from the lab to your front door. When you book a cleaning on the app, a professional cleaner now shows up with an X Square robot partner to tag team the house. The human handles the tricky stuff that needs real judgment while the robot takes over repetitive tasks like wiping tables and tidying up surfaces. X Square is using an end to end foundation model which means the robot actually perceives and plans its own moves instead of just following a script. By testing in the messy reality of a real home, they are proving that if a robot can master a living room, it can handle almost any physical space. This pilot is part of a massive push to turn these machines into reliable partners that can actually assist in our daily lives.
