Training fully autonomous robots takes more data than the real world can easily provide. Simulation lets us train, test, and deploy autonomous software without being limited by robots, space, or cost. Here’s OM1 running in simulation side-by-side to the real world.

A lot of engineering goes into making autonomy look simple Here’s a 2 hour timelapse of F.03 repeatedly walking up and down stairs. Figure HQ is full of tests like this, each one helping push robots closer to fully autonomous systems

Robots, not people, could respond to future hazardous incidents following our trial for Defra UK. We tested the ability of robotic and autonomous systems to navigate through a building and detect, sample and clean a contaminated environment.

ELON: AI AND ROBOTS WILL CREATE AN AGE OF ABUNDANCE "I think that there's no actual limit to the size of the economy once you have general purpose humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles. You can build anything. The economy is really just the average productivity per person times number of people. That's the economy, and if you've got humanoid robots where there's no real limit on the number of humanoid robots and they can operate very intelligently, then there's no meaningful limit to the economy. The good future of AI is one of immense prosperity, where there is an age of abundance, no shortage of goods and services. Everyone can have whatever they want, anything that is a manufactured good or provided service. With the advent of AI plus robotics, the cost of goods and services will trend to zero."

🤖ROBOTS ARE GETTING SMARTER AT TOUCHING THE REAL WORLD Researchers from UC Berkeley, NVIDIA and Stanford introduced T-Rex, a framework that combines vision, language and tactile sensing. Instead of relying on cameras alone, robots can now respond to physical contact in real time. Robots are no longer just seeing objects. They’re learning how to FEEL them.

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 →
