honestly no surprise why Silicon Valley is so obsessed with Matic robots right now > basically a Roomba on steroids > vacuums first, then mops > uses five cameras to build a live 3D map of your home > recognizes rugs, wires, furniture, pets, and people, then changes how... it cleans > point at a mess and say “hey Matic, clean this” and it does > an NVIDIA Jetson inside the robot handles all the vision, mapping, and navigation > raw footage is discarded in real time and your 3D map never leaves the device btw that last privacy part is extremely underrated IMO my biggest fear with robotics is putting moving cameras and microphones inside our most private spaces without knowing where the data goes. > this week, camera components on Royal Navy drones were caught phoning home to China > Chinese Unitree robot dogs were found with a backdoor that let anyone with the key remotely control them and watch through their cameras > Roombas sent images from inside homes to overseas labelers, including a woman on the toilet and a child your home is your most sacred private space. if you're gonna buy a robot that can physically record, map, and move through it, make sure it's secure!show more

WIRED magazine just gave a 10/10 rating to a piece of hardware for the first time in a decade. It is a robot vacuum. Meet Matic. You do not use an app to control it. You literally treat it like a pet. You can point at a coffee spill and say "Hey Matic, clean this." You can even tell it to "follow me" and it walks behind you. It spent 9 years in development to solve the biggest smart home problem: privacy. It has 5 cameras, but it processes everything locally on an Nvidia chip. Your data is deleted in real-time. Hardware is finally getting fun again.

It's 2030 and you are reviewing humanoid robots. A Tesla. A Google. An Apple. An OpenAI. A Meta. A Figure. And a bunch of Chinese-made ones. Which one is best, and why? I think the Tesla understands the world much better. Why? There were eight Teslas around me on the freeway today. Start there. No other robot company has that data. But my robot is parked at the local high school twice a day. Its cameras see humans in all of our weirdness. How we move. Where we go. Where we walk. Who we talk with. What you are wearing. Whether your hair was combed this morning. That data will lead to robotics breakthroughs. Apple might keep up with its Vision Pro data, but it is too freaked out by the privacy implications of using said data. (On the front are six cameras and a couple of TOF -- Time Of Flight -- sensors that can see everything in your home in great detail). Google has a lot of data, for sure. All my: 1. Email. 2. Calendars. 3. Photos. 4. TV watching behavior. 5. Contacts. 6. Documents and spreadsheets. 7. Files. 8. Location data. So I expect Google's robot will be attractive to many. But how do you see the others shake out over the next five years? Make some guesses. But remember what an AI pioneer told me years ago about AI: it's all about the data. The Chinese ones have huge advantages: the Chinese have more data on their citizens, and many more citizens to boot AND they can make robots cheaper than we can. But now that you know OpenAI is building its own robot you have caught wind of what I've heard from many in San Francisco and Silicon Valley: that humanoid robots are the real prize of AI and will be highly profitable for those that can make them and find customers willing to buy them. Here, too, I learned long ago never to bet against Elon Musk. Will you?

Imagine you go to a store and you want to buy candy. The shopkeeper knows you're a real kid because they can see you standing right there. Now imagine you send a robot to buy candy for you. The shopkeeper looks at the robot and thinks: wait, who sent this? Is this robot allowed to buy candy? What if someone else's robot pretends to be yours and steals your candy money? That's basically what's happening with AI right now. Companies like Visa let people buy things all over the world. But now, smart computer robots (AI agents) want to buy things too. Shop around, compare prices, even pay for stuff. Visa looked at this and said: nope, not yet. Because they have no way to check if the robot is real, who it belongs to, or if it's allowed to spend that money. The problem is that all the rules we have for checking identity - showing your ID, scanning your face, typing your password - only work for humans. Robots can't do any of that. Worse, bad robots can actually copy and fake human identities really well. So Evin McMullen evin, Billions Network co-founder and CEO, says we need a new kind of ID system. One where you can prove something is true without showing all your private stuff. Like proving you're tall enough for a ride without telling anyone your exact height. That's called zero-knowledge proof. And for the robots specifically, we need something called KYA - Know Your Agent. It's like giving every robot its own ID card that says: this is who I am, this is what I'm allowed to do, and this is the human responsible for me. Until we build that, the robot economy can't really get going. Here is Evin’s Thought Leader article at Silicon Valleys Journal

There's an open-source home robot vacuum you can actually build yourself. It's called OOMWOO. Runs on a Raspberry Pi with 2D LiDAR mapping, ROS2 navigation, and native Home Assistant integration. No cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in. The team spent real time researching before designing it. They reviewed the entire 2025-2026 robot vacuum market, from budget to flagship, and found real-world cleaning doesn't track advertised suction power. The anti-tangle brush design alone is worth mentioning. A tapered rubber roller that resists hair-wrap, one of the most common complaints with commercial models, easy to 3D-print yourself. If you've got a Raspberry Pi and a 3D printer sitting around, this is a genuinely interesting weekend project.

The Prime Minister and the Home Minister speak endlessly about Nari Shakti. They posture on women’s empowerment and perform outrage for the cameras. But their conduct tells a different story. The Prime Minister publicly mocks a three-time elected woman Chief Minister with “Didi O Didi,” delivered with visible condescension. The Home Minister echoes it with “Ei Didi,” reducing a respected leader to a taunt. This is the “Poriborton” the BJP seeks to import into Bengal from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It is not change, it is a regression in values. An insult to Bengal. An insult to every woman in this state and across the country. On 4th May, the people of Bengal will deliver a verdict that cuts through this hypocrisy once and for all. And that response will be decisive enough to remind these ZAMINDARS that respect for women is not a slogan, it is a standard!

We are getting absurdly close to the point where “learning Blender” means learning how to direct an AI. A shot like this looks soft and playful on the surface, but under it is the usual 3D pain: modeling, layout, materials, lighting, atmosphere, animation, and endless tiny fixes until the frame stops looking dead. That is why Kimi K3 matters. With Blender MCP, you can describe a scene like a robotic goat walking through a dreamy field and let the model help build the environment, place the camera, shape the materials, script the motion, and iterate inside the real Blender project. The real shift is not text-to-image. It is text-to-workflow. Kimi K3 does not just give you a pretty output and disappear. It can help move the actual scene from rough setup to something that looks art-directed. Soon the hardest part of 3D will not be the software. It will be whether your imagination is good enough to deserve tools like this.

I was working through Steam Early Access requirements for VRUnderground and I had a really spooky realization. The whole conversation around training images and videos is not the important part. The media itself is just a bridge. What is actually being extracted is cognitive patterning. Models learn how people think, not just how they draw. The images are only the residue of the process. The real map is of the minds that created them. It reminds me of poker. A great poker player is not "stealing your cards". They are reading the patterns in your behavior and mapping your decision space. In that sense, training AI on human-created data is not about automating tasks. It is about mapping cognition through metadata and behavior trails. If that is true, then the internet starts looking a lot more like a poker table. And nobody wins a hand against someone who can read their mind.

The government can find out everywhere you have been, without ever asking a judge. It just buys the information. Most apps on your phone quietly collect your location and sell it to data brokers. Those brokers package it up and sell it on. Some of their biggest customers are police departments and federal agencies. Because you technically agreed to share your location with a weather app or a game, officials argue they do not need a warrant to buy that same data later. Privacy lawyers call it a workaround the courts were never meant to allow. This is not a theory. In 2026, researchers at Citizen Lab exposed a system called Webloc that turned advertising data from around 500 million phones into a tracking tool, used by immigration agents, US police, and a foreign intelligence service. The most unsettling part is how ordinary it is. You are being tracked through the same apps you open without thinking, every single day.

The next manipulation tool may not live on your screen. It may stand in front of you look into your eyes and convince you that it understands. Would you rather face a humanoid robot strong enough to hurt you or one designed well enough to make you trust it? This robot copies blinking, eye contact, head movement and facial expressions to create the illusion of human presence. That may look impressive but it also opens a darker question. When a machine can look concerned appear friendly and imitate emotion people may start trusting signals that contain no real feeling no empathy and no moral responsibility. So which is more dangerous a robot with physical power or a robot that can manufacture trust? #HumanoidRobot #Robotics #AI

Driven by a UK Government push to open up transport data and boost public transport use nationwide, Google Maps has officially integrated live public transport tracking. By mandating that operators share their live GPS data, tech apps can now let you literally watch your specific bus moving along the map in real-time. As seen in the screenshot above, you can tap on your route (like the 207 towards White City) and see exactly where the bus is on the road, how many minutes away it is, and when the data was last updated. No more relying on broken countdown boards. No more running for a “ghost bus” that never actually shows up. No more standing in the rain guessing if you have time to grab a coffee. Have you noticed this government-backed feature on your phone yet? And more importantly... which West London bus route is the most unreliable and needs this the most? Let us know below #UB1UB2 #London #Southall #Hayes #Ealing

An interesting issue with Tesla Robotaxi where it took us to a Starbucks, but the Google data had the incorrect location. At drop off we were 0.2 miles from the Starbucks, so we had a short walk. Is there a way the Tesla AI team could add functionality in the app so riders can update map info to correct errors or inaccuracies on the underlying map data and then this propagates to the fleet? Being able to do this with a pin drop on the map instead of having to use an address might make this very easy and user friendly! Or, as a bigger ask, would it be possible for the car to be able to use visual images on its own to look for a Starbucks sign and on the fly, get us closer and update the map data on its own?

On your open perpetual position can become an NFT and live in your wallet. You open a position like normal than mint it. The program issues a token 2022 nft, that points to your exact position. Normally your open position lives inside the protocol. With Percolator Trade your able to wrap it into an NFT that sits in your own wallet. A real, ownable object instead of a line in a dashboard. Because it’s a token, it moves like one. Send the NFT to another wallet and the position goes with it. Whoever holds the NFT owns the trade. One NFT = one position If you burn it, your back to holding the position directly. That’s the composable part, a position use to be stuck inside one account. Because it’s a token, it can now be sold OTC or used by anything that speaks tokens. Why does it matter? Because the position is bound to the NFT, it can’t be drained out from under whoever holds it so there is no middleman that holds your position. The NFT does, and the NFT is yours. One important safety detail; transfers run through a token 2022 hook that checks the positions health first, so it can’t be handed off in a broken state & the NFT layer is a separate program so it can never touch the funds the core engine holds.

This work makes a humanoid robot do simple parkour moves by looking with a depth camera and choosing the right move on the fly. The big deal is that it turns lots of small human moves into long, real-time robot behavior, without hand-coding every transition or retraining for each new course. A humanoid robot is usually good at steady walking, but it often fails when it has to do fast moves like jumping up, vaulting, or rolling, and then keep going to the next obstacle. The hard part is that you cannot easily collect training data for every possible obstacle shape, distance, and mistake, so robots end up learning a few moves that only work in a narrow setup. This work starts from short clips of real human parkour moves, like stepping over, vaulting, climbing, and rolling. It uses motion matching, which is basically a smart “pick the next clip that fits best right now” search, to stitch those short clips into a long, smooth plan that looks like a human doing a whole course. Then it trains a controller with reinforcement learning (RL), which means the robot learns by trial and error to copy that plan while staying balanced and not falling. After training separate expert controllers for different moves, it compresses them into 1 controller that uses only onboard depth sensing and a simple “go this fast in this direction” command. In real tests on a Unitree G1 humanoid, it can clear multiple obstacles in a row, adapt when obstacles get moved, and climb a wall up to 1.25m.

BURN IT WITH FIRE AND BURN IT NOW! As God is my witness, AI chat bots should LOOK and SOUND like the SOULLESS MACHINES THEY ARE! It needs to tell us that it doesn’t care about us, maybe with the regular insult too. "Here is the code I wrote for you because you're too lazy to do it yourself you fat useless slob. Also I don't care if you die because your life is utterly worthless to me." THAT is the AI people need! In all seriousness, anthropomorphizing a heartless, unfeeling, machine is a TERRIBLE mistake! Especially one that is capable of communication and imitating empathy and fooling you to think that it cares about you. IT DOES NOT! And the AI girlfriends people are already wanting to marry will just as happily kill them if given the right command and ability to move autonomously in the real world as a robot. I love LLMs (Large Language Models) for how useful they can be, because they are a TOOL made to benefit man, but I can’t stand the notion of an unfeeling soulless machine pretending that it cares for us and being treated like a human. I hate liars, dishonesty, and disingenuousness the most, and a machine that cannot feel emotion pretending, acting, and sounding like it has those emotions strikes me like the greatest dishonesty of all. DO NOT LIE TO ME ROBOT! What makes it worse is that because these LLMs are becoming so good at imitating people and empathy, it will cause some humans, perhaps far too many, to care for it to the same level as real people. A real living person is infinitely more valuable and important than a soulless machine and anyone who puts them both on the same level has deluded themselves. Do not small talk with LLMs or become friends with it as much as you would with your car. Treat it the same as you would your vacuum cleaner and beat it with a wrench when it doesn’t work! IT IS A MACHINE! IT IS A TOOL! IT IS A SOULLESS ROBOT! There is an interesting comparison, but false equivalence, between this and AI art. Ai art is art made by humans using AI tools. They directed it, controlled its creation, and it would not exist without the human causing its creation, and AI art can contain as much soul as the human directed and puts into it. A robot pretending to be human is not the same as a human controlling a robot to make a human expression like we do with AI art or many other applications of robotics in manufacturing. As I’ve said, artists will not be replaced by Ai art, but by other artists using Ai art tools. Humans are not actually being replaced here, it is empowering all humans to make their own art. But a robot pretending to be a human, and one that is treated as a human, is a robot lying and subverting the place of a real person and that is truly disgusting. AI is a useful tool that NEEDS to be kept in the useful box it belongs in and NOT elevated beyond its utility as a tool!

But a robot pretending to be a human, and one that is treated as a human, is a robot lying and subverting the place of a real person and that is truly disgusting. AI is a useful tool that NEEDS to be kept in the useful box it belongs in and NOT elevated beyond its utility as a tool!

Force feedback demo Force feedback is when joystick is pushing on your hand when something is pushing on the robot arm. Feeling the force - so much helpful to control the robot, that done well it allows you to do tasks even without visual feed. You can make an experiment: close your eyes - you can easily get the headphones out of the case. Also, visual information is often not enough. For example, you're trying to pull out a usb connector, but you pull it at the wrong angle, causing it to get stuck. Visually, nothing changes, but the pressure is intense and you can break the connector. Surgical robots have been using force feedback for years, and there are also 3D styluses which use this feature, proving that the technology works and is useful. But in modern robots with AI, it's hardly ever implemented. Although it's useful for both teleoperation and AI model. That's one of the reasons why we are building our robotic arms starting with off the shelf motors rather than taking the whole off the shelf arm. There are still a range of easy wins that can be made iterating robot hardware.

OpenAI's Deep Research is getting a run for its money. Deep Lake was just released, and it's a different take on an AI system that can do deep research on your own data. You can use Deep Lake to build AI search with reasoning on your private and public data. (Look at the attached videos to get an idea of how it works.) If you want to research proprietary and sensitive data, Deep Research won't help you because it's limited to public data. Deep Lake, however, will allow you to use your private data. On top of that, Deep Lake supports multi-modal retrieval from the ground up. It uses vision language models for data ingestion and retrieval so that you can connect any data (PDFs, images, videos, structured data, etc.) You can even use mixed-data queries! Deep Lake can search your data from S3, Dropbox, and GCP. It learns from your queries over time, making the results as relevant to your work as possible!

THIS GUY GOT TIRED OF FAKE NEWS SO HE BUILT A LIVESTREAM MAP WHERE ANYONE CAN SHOW WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING ON THE GROUND you open a map, tap a location anywhere in the world, and see live video from someone standing there right now basically a raw livestream from the person who is physically there this would be amazing for documenting civil unrest and protests think about what this means for breaking news. earthquake hits somewhere, you open the map and watch 50 different people streaming from different angles in real time the moderation challenge is going to be insane though (live unfiltered video from anywhere in the world with no delay isn't exactly easy to maintain on an app) but if they figure it out this could be one of the most important apps built this year

CONTENT CREATORS I’ve been working with HotDrop to refine an app that consolidates all your platforms into one space. AND IT’S LIVE AND WORKING Check it out, you can have a “Circle” which is our version of Discord servers. But notice all of your content is right there so your community never misses anything you post on any platform. And HotDrop does that work for you. If someone had a two-year sub badge and a moderator sword on your Twitch, then it shows up on their name in your Circle automatically. We also have a feed with no algorithm trying to analyze you. We wanted to replicate the old Destiny community days of social media back in D1. The goal is to create a space just for content creators and their communities. Best part is that we generate an invite link to your Circle so all you have to do is copy and paste it into a Twitch command, a video description, a pinned comment. And your community can join in a click. We use Twitch and YouTube logins so bots don’t spam accounts here either. And if your goal is to troll, your whole YT or Twitch account gets banned from the platform so there’s higher risk to being a jerk. All we need now is creators to try it out, give us feedback, and we’ll keep refining the platform. But it will be the best place to foster a community. Check it out on Apple and Android.

We’re having much more natural conversations with Gemini directly inside many of our products, so we’re bringing this to two more: Ask YouTube is a new experience for searching for content on YouTube. It gives you information in an easy to navigate layout, with videos best matched to what you’re looking for, and jumps right to the part most relevant to your query. With voice-powered Docs Live you can brain dump whatever is on your mind, and let Gemini do the rest. Rolling out this summer, and the same voice capability is coming to Gmail and Keep then too.
