Introducing the world's smallest, fully programmable, autonomous robots. Created by Marc Miskin of @Penn_ESE and David Blauuw of Michigan Engineering, the microscopic robots can independently sense and respond to their surroundings, operate for months and cost just a penny each.

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.

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 with tentacles! 🐙 SpiRobs are soft robots inspired by nature, designed in the shape of a logarithmic spiral. They mimic the flexible movements of octopus arms and elephant trunks to grasp objects. 🐘 SpiRobs use simple cables to move, making them easy to control and operate. They can scale from small to large sizes, ranging from centimeters to meters. The robots can adapt to different object shapes, improving their grasping ability. A mini version can act as a tiny gripper, while a large version can be mounted on drones. Interestingly, multiple robots can work together to wrap around and hold large objects. That's just out of this world! 😮‍💨 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

XPENG founder and CEO He Xiaopeng announced that they will release a new generation of humanoid robots next month, introducing a new AI system, VLT, combined with five other systems, including VLA/VLM. The goal is to transition humanoid robots from remote-controlled to fully autonomous. Their second-generation humanoid robot, Iron, released last year, is already undergoing trial operations at the XPENG factory in Guangzhou and serving as a shopping guide in the flagship store. It's worth noting that Tesla plans to release the Optimus V3 by the end of the year.

ROBOTS JUST LEVELED UP THEIR VISION WITH 3D PERCEPTION X-Humanoid unveiled HumanoidOccupancy, a system that lets robots "see" the world in layered 3D using cameras, depth sensors, and LiDAR. It’s like giving them X-ray vision plus a GPS brain, so they can move and reason like humans. Multimodal sensing means robots aren’t just seeing - they’re actually understanding their surroundings.
