How do you give a humanoid the general motion capability? Not just single motions, but all motion? Introducing SONIC, our new work on supersizing motion tracking for natural humanoid control. We argue that motion tracking is the scalable foundation task for humanoids. So we "supersized" it: 9k+ GPU hours and 100M+ motion frames. But tracking alone is not enough; we show how to make a useful control system out of it: - Universal Kinematic Planner: Enables game-like gamepad control and high-level teleoperation, just like controlling a character in a game. - VR Full-Body Teleop: Direct, real-time whole-body control by a human wearing a VR headset. - VR Keypoint Teleop: Control the upper body (hands/head) while our planner handles robust locomotion automatically. - VLA Integration: We connect this motion tracker to autonomous Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous task execution! We use a Universal Token Space to UNIFY this command space, turning our robust tracker into a general-purpose, programmable humanoid brain. This is the generalist "System 1" for humanoids. 🚀 Project: #Humanoids #Robotics #AI #FoundationModels #NVIDIAResearch 🧠🔥

X-Humanoid just dropped TG-VLA — the first full-size, whole-body VLA framework for humanoids. 🤖 Most VLA demos today still look arm-centric: see, plan, reach, grasp. The legs are mostly there to carry the arms. TG-VLA pushes action into the whole body: → HEX: task context & cross-embodiment learning → HAF-VLA: high-DoF motion → structured action flows → DSRL-DCT: online RL through a compressed latent space The real shift isn't a smarter hand — it's locomotion, torso control, balance, and manipulation inside one control loop. That's the move: from mobile dual-arm machines to full-body agents.

The power of generative models — now embodied in humanoids. Announcing DreamControl –– After a year-long research effort at General Robotics — we present a scalable framework for whole-body humanoid control that fuses diffusion priors with reinforcement learning to unlock real-world scene interaction. Diffusion + RL → natural whole-body skills on real robots. DreamControl enables humanoids to move beyond locomotion demos → performing natural, human-like skills such as –– Picking & lifting objects, Opening drawers & doors, Precise punching, kicking, and jumping, Bimanual manipulation tasks Our key innovation: a diffusion prior over human motion that guides RL, eliminating the need for massive teleoperation datasets, and producing motions that look human while transferring to real hardware. Trained purely in simulation, deployed on the Unitree G1 humanoid, DreamControl policies run in real time, bridging sim-to-real with unprecedented naturalness. We leverage a novel hybrid edge + cloud infrastructure that runs RL-trained policies on the edge backed by powerful AI models running in the cloud This is the next step in General Robotics’ journey toward general-purpose humanoid assistants that interact, adapt, and assist autonomously.

NEWS: Humanoid robotics company Figure has released Helix 02, what they claim in their most capable humanoid model yet. "A single neural system that controls the full body directly from pixels, enabling dexterous, long horizon autonomy across an entire room: • Autonomous, long‑horizon loco-manipulation: Helix 02 unloads and reloads a dishwasher across a full-sized kitchen - a four-minute, end-to-end autonomous task that integrates walking, manipulation, and balance with no resets and no human intervention. We believe this is the longest horizon, most complex task completed autonomously by a humanoid robot to date. • All sensors in. All actuators out: Helix 02 connects every onboard sensor - vision, touch, and proprioception - directly to every actuator through a single unified visuomotor neural network. • Human-like whole body control from human data: All results are enabled by System 0, a learned whole‑body controller trained on over 1,000 hours of human motion data and sim‑to‑real reinforcement learning. System 0 replaces 109,504 lines of hand‑engineered C++ with a single neural prior for stable, natural motion. • New classes of dexterity: With Figure 03’s embedded tactile sensing and palm cameras, Helix 02 performs manipulation that was previously out of reach: extracting individual pills, dispensing precise syringe volumes, and singulating small, irregular objects from clutter despite self‑occlusion. Helix 02 is trained on over 1,000 hours of human motion data and integrates vision, touch, and proprioception."

This marks the sixth time one of my scooters has been stolen, and the sixth successful recovery. The theft was a crime of opportunity, not connected to any protesters. Still, I’m sharing this footage because it happened at a demonstration. It’s just one entry in a wild archive of scooter retrievals, including alleyway stakeouts, a McDonald’s parking lot, and even a crack house in Hamilton. Moral of the story?

New framework: Kick down your robot, it will get back up every time 🥋 Chinese startup RoboParty is a Beijing startup founded April 2025 by Huang Yi, originally shipping ROBOTO ORIGIN, the world's first full-stack open-source bipedal humanoid. They released UFO: Unsupervised Reinforcement Learning Framework for Humanoid Control. DEFINITIONS -> what differs is where the learning signal comes from: - SUPERVISED: humans supply the right answers (labels), the model imitates them. - UNSUPERVISED: no answer key, the model finds structure in raw data on its own. - REINFORCEMENT LEARNING: no answer key either, the model tries things and a reward scores each attempt. → UNSUPERVISED RL: trial and error where the agent invents its own rewards, instead of engineers hand-writing one per task. REPRESENTATION LEARNING: compress raw states into a useful internal map. TEMPORAL DISTANCE: distance on that map is "how many steps from A to B." CONTRASTIVE: trained by pulling together what's close in time, pushing apart what isn't. -> CONTRASTIVE TEMPORAL-DISTANCE REPRESENTATION LEARNING: the model builds an internal map of body states where distance means how many steps it takes to get from one to another. It is trained by contrast: states that occur close together in a movement get pulled together in the map, randomly paired states get pushed apart. UFO is an open-source training framework that teaches humanoid robots skills, like getting up, walking, goal-reaching, teleoperation, without reference motions -> no motion-capture or human-video demonstrations to imitate. Its core is TeCH, a contrastive temporal-distance representation-learning algorithm: the robot explores, builds pseudo-goals by temporal rolling, and learns goal-conditioned policies from a single unified progress reward. One framework trains five different robots (Unitree G1/H1, RoboParty RP0/RP1, AgiBot X2) with automatic config conversion in ~2–3 hours per robot! The real novelty here "no demonstrations at all". No data-collection arms race,the dominant humanoid-locomotion recipe is tracking: imitate mocap/retargeted-human reference trajectories. The robot self-generates goals from its own exploration and learns from a progress reward, needing zero reference motion data. Everybody else is fighting over data acquisition, while this team just teleports out of the race entirely (inb4 "competition is for losers 💀 ). This strategy reminds me of the DeepSeek playbook applied to robots: open-source the whole stack to become the global default and commoditize everyone else. RoboParty is giving away hardware and now control software (UFO) to be the Android of humanoids. Yet another reason for the US to ban Chinese open models perhaps 🥶 ? What I also really like about this approach is the cross-embodiment infrastructure, one framework trains Unitree G1/H1, RoboParty RP0/RP1, and AgiBot X2 with automatic configuration conversion. Just like Physical Intelligence, RoboParty seems to place itself as a neutral hardware agnostic middle man. Also woth mentioning: their ability ot perform stable skill injection, e.g. adding a cartwheel without forgetting how to walk. A common failure of RL humanoid policies is that teaching a new agile skill destabilizes the existing ones (catastrophic forgetting). UFO claims you can inject rare motions (cartwheel) without collapsing learned behavior. If it holds, that's a significant incremental/continual skill-learning! But again, I have to underline it: no arXiv, no external validation, no success-rate numbers. -> robotics badely needs an independent unbiased evaluator imho. Still, look at that cool demo: robot is getting kicked and pushed around (serious disturbance) during teleoperation (controlled the person at the back wearing the VR headset), and still managed to always get back up. This is some serious demonstration of stability and robustness!

China’s pretty humanoid robot stuns by opening a car door in a ‘world’s first’ | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Mornine used onboard sensors and full-body control to locate the handle, adjust posture, and open a car door—no human input needed. AiMOGA Robotics has claimed to have reached a significant milestone in embodied AI with its humanoid robot, Mornine, autonomously opening a car door inside a functioning Chery dealership in China. Relying solely on onboard sensors, full-body motion control, and end-to-end reinforcement learning, Mornine performed the task without any human input. Unlike scripted or teleoperated robots, Mornie identified the door handle, adjusted its posture, and used coordinated force across its limbs and torso to complete the action—demonstrating advanced autonomy in a real-world setting. “The deployment marks one of the first instances of a service robot executing such a high-friction, physical interaction in a live commercial setting,” said the firm in a statement. In April, at the Shanghai Auto Show, automotive brands Omoda and Jaecoo, subsidiaries of Chery Automobile, introduced Mornine, designed for use in car dealerships. From sim to service Opening a car door may seem like a simple task, but AiMOGA Robotics views it as a pivotal moment in robotics—signaling a shift from simulation to real-world service, and from basic command execution to autonomous capability. Using only onboard sensors and full-body motion control, Mornine identified the door handle, adjusted her posture, and applied coordinated force across her limbs to open the door—entirely without human intervention. Mornine’s advanced sensor suite includes 3D LiDAR, depth and wide-angle cameras, and a visual-language model (VLM), enabling real-time perception of door position and opening status. Uniquely, Mornine wasn’t explicitly programmed to recognize door handles. Instead, she learned through reinforcement learning, undergoing millions of simulated cycles to focus on the right region and perform the task independently. “We never explicitly told the robot what a door handle is. It learned to focus on that region by itself,” said the engineering team at AiMOGA Robotics in a statement. The learned model was transferred to the real world using Sim2Real methods. Mornine continuously gathers live sensor data during operation, which feeds into a cloud-based training loop, allowing her to improve through continuous learning in real-world settings, reports Robotics Tomorrow. Now active in multiple Chery 4S dealerships in China, Mornine not only opens car doors but also assists with customer greetings, vehicle introductions, and item delivery—marking a step forward in humanoid robotics for commercial retail environments. AI meets retail Originally introduced as the AiMOGA Robot, Mornine was developed to support dealership sales by performing tasks such as explaining vehicle specifications, leading showroom tours, serving refreshments, and engaging with customers in multiple languages. First conceived by Chery as a virtual character to appeal to Generation Z using metaverse and virtual human technologies, Mornine gradually evolved into a real-world interactive humanoid. After multiple iterations of character and model design, Mornine debuted as a digital persona in animations, livestreams, and promotional content, gaining brand recognition. Chery later expanded the concept beyond the virtual space, resulting in the creation of the AiMOGA humanoid robot. Leveraging Chery’s expertise in autonomous driving, environmental sensing, and control systems, AiMOGA features full-stack capabilities in perception, cognition, decision-making, and execution. It uses multimodal sensing—combining speech, vision, and environmental data—to interpret user gestures, commands, and showroom dynamics.

China’s pretty humanoid robot stuns by opening a car door in a ‘world’s first’ | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Mornine used onboard sensors and full-body control to locate the handle, adjust posture, and open a car door—no human input needed. AiMOGA Robotics has claimed to have reached a significant milestone in embodied AI with its humanoid robot, Mornine, autonomously opening a car door inside a functioning Chery dealership in China. Relying solely on onboard sensors, full-body motion control, and end-to-end reinforcement learning, Mornine performed the task without any human input. Unlike scripted or teleoperated robots, Mornie identified the door handle, adjusted its posture, and used coordinated force across its limbs and torso to complete the action—demonstrating advanced autonomy in a real-world setting. “The deployment marks one of the first instances of a service robot executing such a high-friction, physical interaction in a live commercial setting,” said the firm in a statement. In April, at the Shanghai Auto Show, automotive brands Omoda and Jaecoo, subsidiaries of Chery Automobile, introduced Mornine, designed for use in car dealerships. From sim to service Opening a car door may seem like a simple task, but AiMOGA Robotics views it as a pivotal moment in robotics—signaling a shift from simulation to real-world service, and from basic command execution to autonomous capability. Using only onboard sensors and full-body motion control, Mornine identified the door handle, adjusted her posture, and applied coordinated force across her limbs to open the door—entirely without human intervention. Mornine’s advanced sensor suite includes 3D LiDAR, depth and wide-angle cameras, and a visual-language model (VLM), enabling real-time perception of door position and opening status. Uniquely, Mornine wasn’t explicitly programmed to recognize door handles. Instead, she learned through reinforcement learning, undergoing millions of simulated cycles to focus on the right region and perform the task independently. “We never explicitly told the robot what a door handle is. It learned to focus on that region by itself,” said the engineering team at AiMOGA Robotics in a statement. The learned model was transferred to the real world using Sim2Real methods. Mornine continuously gathers live sensor data during operation, which feeds into a cloud-based training loop, allowing her to improve through continuous learning in real-world settings, reports Robotics Tomorrow. Now active in multiple Chery 4S dealerships in China, Mornine not only opens car doors but also assists with customer greetings, vehicle introductions, and item delivery—marking a step forward in humanoid robotics for commercial retail environments. AI meets retail Originally introduced as the AiMOGA Robot, Mornine was developed to support dealership sales by performing tasks such as explaining vehicle specifications, leading showroom tours, serving refreshments, and engaging with customers in multiple languages. First conceived by Chery as a virtual character to appeal to Generation Z using metaverse and virtual human technologies, Mornine gradually evolved into a real-world interactive humanoid. After multiple iterations of character and model design, Mornine debuted as a digital persona in animations, livestreams, and promotional content, gaining brand recognition. Chery later expanded the concept beyond the virtual space, resulting in the creation of the AiMOGA humanoid robot. Leveraging Chery’s expertise in autonomous driving, environmental sensing, and control systems, AiMOGA features full-stack capabilities in perception, cognition, decision-making, and execution.

Everybody is talking about recursive self-improvement (RSI) and meta learning. Here is my old 2020 talk about this [1]. It has aged well. Example: humans still define the starts & ends of trials of many modern meta learners. My RSI systems since 1994 LEARN to (re)define them [2]! [1] Meta Learning Machines in a Single Lifelong Trial (talk for workshops at ICML 2020 and NeurIPS 2021, based on earlier talks since 1994). Abstract: the most widely used machine learning algorithms were designed by humans and thus are hindered by our cognitive biases and limitations. Can we also construct meta learning algorithms that can learn better learning algorithms so that our self-improving AIs have no limits other than those inherited from computability and physics? This question has been a main driver of my research since I wrote a thesis on it in 1987 [2]. Here I summarize our work on meta reinforcement learning with self-modifying policies in a single lifelong trial (since 1994), and mathematically optimal meta-learning through the self-referential Gödel Machine (since 2003). Many additional publications on meta-learning since 1987 can be found in the RSI overview [2]. [2] J. Schmidhuber (AI Blog, 2020-2025). 1/3 century anniversary of first publication on recursive self-improvement (RSI) and meta learning machines that learn to learn (1987). For its cover I drew a robot that bootstraps itself. 1992-: gradient descent-based neural meta learning. 1994-: meta reinforcement learning with self-modifying policies. 1997: meta RL plus artificial curiosity and intrinsic motivation. 2002-: asymptotically optimal meta learning for curriculum learning. 2003-: mathematically optimal Gödel Machine. 2020-: new stuff!

Found the suppressed video of Charlie Kirk at the Andy Biggs launch rally May 31, 2025. It’s been scrubbed from TPUSA outlets. In it, Charlie spoke of a long 10-year journey and the wild ride ahead pushing toward 2026. He urged: keep the narrative and the story straight. Frank Turek claimed they were “mentoring Charlie to be better.” Bullshit. Charlie was the best-flawed like any man, but a powerhouse. What they meant was narrative control. Charlie started breaking free, telling his own story. He never got to finish it. The truth got him killed on Sept. 10, 2025. He wasn’t perfect. He was controlled. This was his last major TPAction rally. They couldn’t control him forever. Rest in power and peace, Charlie. The fight continues.
