Introducing SimReadyGen. Agentic simulation generation for Physical AI. From a text prompt to physically accurate SimReady assets at scale. Robot training demands physically accurate environments at a scale traditional asset creation can't match. SimReadyGen closes that gap. Every generated asset carries measured physics, not estimates. Behind it is SimReady Foundry, our measured-physics pipeline: we measure how real objects behave — contact, friction, dynamics — and turn those measurements into ground-truth simulation parameters. Built on OpenUSD and integrated with NVIDIA Robotics Omniverse Libraries, SimReadyGen moves directly into Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab workflows. Try it today: Read the announcement: #PhysicalAI #Robotics #Simulation #OpenUSD

We are back again :) After three weeks of quiet building. Introducing Genesis World 1.0, our latest simulation platform, the second release in our full-stack suite. Open-sourced. Robotics is still bottlenecked by the 1× speed of the physical world. Every model, checkpoint, and data recipe eventually needs to be tested on physical hardware, slowly, expensively, and with limited coverage. One hour in reality can become 100 days in simulation. That is how robotics model iteration moves from a wall-clock bottleneck to a compute problem. To make this work, simulation has to be both fast and trustworthy. Over the past year, we rebuilt the entire stack: a GPU-accelerated cross-platform compiler, penetration-free multi-physics contact solvers, unified rigid and deformable physics, and a photo-realistic renderer purpose-built for physical AI applications. We built Nyx, a high-performance path-traced rendering engine for robotics application. Genesis World 1.0 achieves near realtime performance with our latest development for penetration-free IPC solver, supporting various types of deformables beyond rigid bodies. It supports contact-rich, dexterous manipulation simulation across different embodiments: unitree, sharpa, wuji, genesis hand and various types of grippers. Under the hood is Quadrants, our effort in pushing forward cross-platform GPU-accelerated computation. Quadrants started as a fork of Taichi, and we rebuilt most of the critical parts for optimizing simulation workloads, giving 10x faster launch time and up to 4.6x runtime performance compared to the initial Genesis release. Together, they bring us to an unprecedentedly low sim-to-real gap, enabling zero-shot real-to-sim model evaluation and much faster iteration of GENE. All available today. Genesis World 1.0: Quadrants: Nyx:

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics! Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics simulation platform designed for general-purpose robotics and physical AI applications. Genesis's physics engine is developed in pure Python, while being 10-80x faster than existing GPU-accelerated stacks like Isaac Gym and MJX. It delivers a simulation speed ~430,000 faster than in real-time, and takes only 26 seconds to train a robotic locomotion policy transferrable to the real world on a single RTX4090 (see tutorial: The Genesis physics engine and simulation platform is fully open source at We'll gradually roll out access to our generative framework in the near future. Genesis implements a unified simulation framework all from scratch, integrating a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art physics solvers, allowing simulation of the whole physical world in a virtual realm with the highest realism. We aim to build a universal data engine that leverages an upper-level generative framework to autonomously create physical worlds, together with various modes of data, including environments, camera motions, robotic task proposals, reward functions, robot policies, character motions, fully interactive 3D scenes, open-world articulated assets, and more, aiming towards fully automated data generation for robotics, physical AI and other applications.

That's sick! 🤯 Genesis AI simulates robots playing yo-yo! 🪀 Genesis AI just open-sourced Genesis World 1.0, and it might be one of the most important infrastructure releases in robotics this year. Robotics is still bottlenecked by the 1× speed of the physical world. Every model needs to be tested on real hardware, slowly, expensively, with limited coverage. Genesis World 1.0 from Genesis AI flips that equation: One hour in reality becomes 100 days in simulation. That turns a wall-clock bottleneck into a compute problem. And compute problems are solvable. The technical stack they rebuilt from scratch is serious: → GPU-accelerated cross-platform compiler via Quadrants, 10x faster launch time and up to 4.6x runtime vs the initial Genesis release → Penetration-free multi-physics contact solvers, the thing that makes simulation actually trustworthy → Unified rigid AND deformable physics in a single engine → Nyx, a high-performance path-traced rendering engine purpose-built for physical AI The sim-to-real gap has historically been the graveyard of robotics research. Policies that work beautifully in simulation fall apart on real hardware. Genesis World 1.0 is a direct attack on that problem. And it's fully open-source. The companies that master simulation infrastructure will train better robots faster than anyone else. Find it here: Genesis World 1.0: Quadrants: Nyx: Theophile Gervet, Zhou Xian congrats! 👏🏼 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

NEWS: Waymo has introduced the Waymo World Model, "a frontier generative model built on Google DeepMind’s Genie 3 that sets a new bar for large-scale, hyper-realistic autonomous driving simulation." "By simulating the “impossible”, we proactively prepare the Waymo Driver for some of the most rare and complex scenarios—from tornadoes to planes landing on freeways—long before it encounters them in the real world. The model’s architecture offers high controllability, allowing our engineers to modify simulations with simple language prompts, driving inputs, and scene layouts. Notably, the Waymo World Model generates high-fidelity, multi-sensor outputs that include both camera and lidar data. This combination of broad world knowledge, fine-grained controllability, and multi-modal realism enhances Waymo’s ability to safely scale our service across more places and new driving environments. In the following sections we showcase the Waymo World Model in action, featuring simulations of the Waymo Driver navigating diverse rare edge-case scenarios." More info below.

In my past research experience, finding or developing an appropriate simulation environment, dataset, and benchmark has always been a challenge. Missing features, limited support, or unexpected bugs often occupied my days and nights. Moreover, current simulation platforms are relatively fragmented—making it challenging to replicate the success of the RT-X dataset in unifying community efforts. Introducing RoboVerse, we provide a unified platform, dataset, and benchmark for scalable and generalizable robot learning. We hope to build a shared foundation to combine the community efforts. RoboVerse includes: MetaSim: We carefully designed a configuration system and a universal interface to align current robotic simulators. With MetaSim, you can use any simulator with the same code—bringing together the community’s diverse efforts under one framework! RoboVerse Dataset and Benchmark: We unify popular simulation environments and benchmarks into a single cohesive system and introduce the RoboVerse dataset—a large-scale, high-quality synthetic dataset. Additionally, we propose a standardized benchmark across both imitation learning and reinforcement learning. A cool feature enabled by our unified framework: Hybrid Simulation! You can now integrate physics engines and renderers from different simulators—e.g., using MuJoCo precise physics with Isaac photorealistic rendering. This not only elevates simulation fidelity but also significantly enhances real-world transfer performance across complex robotic applications. Hopefully, our team’s efforts could serve the robotic community to thrive vibrantly in the years to come. RoboVerse is open-sourced🥳!!! Project Page: Documentation: Github Repo: Paper:

Today, we're joined by Nikita Rudin, co-founder and CEO of Flexion to discuss the gap between current robotic capabilities and what’s required to deploy fully autonomous robots in the real world. Nikita explains how reinforcement learning and simulation have driven rapid progress in robot locomotion—and why locomotion is still far from “solved.” We dig into the sim2real gap, and how adding visual inputs introduces noise and significantly complicates sim-to-real transfer. We also explore the debate between end-to-end models and modular approaches, and why separating locomotion, planning, and semantics remains a pragmatic approach today. Nikita also introduces the concept of "real-to-sim", which uses real-world data to refine simulation parameters for higher fidelity training, discusses how reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and teleoperation data are combined to train robust policies for both quadruped and humanoid robots, and introduces Flexion's hierarchical approach that utilizes pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for high-level task orchestration with Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and low-level whole-body trackers. Finally, Nikita shares the behind-the-scenes in humanoid robot demos, his take on reinforcement learning in simulation versus the real world, the nuances of reward tuning, and offers practical advice for researchers and practitioners looking to get started in robotics today. 🗒️ For the full list of resources for this episode, visit the show notes page: 📖 CHAPTERS =============================== 00:00 - Introduction 04:07 - Is robot locomotion solved? 06:04 - Sim-to-real gap 08:58 - Adding semantics to policies 09:42 - Modular vs end-to-end architectures 10:29 - Planner model 12:21 - Adapting RL techniques from quadrupeds to humanoids 15:39 - Behind robot demos 18:09 - Humanoid robots in home environments 22:03 - Training approach 23:56 - VLA models 27:59 - Closing the sim-to-real gap 32:55 - Task orchestration using VLMs 36:38 - Tool use 38:10 - Model hierarchy 43:37 - Simulator versus simulation environment 44:57 - Combining imitation learning and reinforcement learning 46:42 - RL in real world versus RL in simulation 52:58 - Reward tuning and value functions in robotics 56:38 - Predictions 1:00:10 - Humanoids, quadropeds, and wheeled platforms 1:02:45 - Advice, recommended robot kits, and community pla

"Mostly right" is useless when millions of dollars are on the line. That's why we built Leni: the world's most accurate AI for investment work. It analyzes hundreds of files at once, reasons through complex problems, validates its outputs, and delivers finished work instead of making users babysit prompts. Over the last few years, Leni has been used by institutions to manage over $80B in assets, and we have learned that the biggest challenge with AI isn't intelligence. It's trust. Many AI systems sound convincing. Few can be trusted for serious investment decisions. So we aimed to build one that is accurate, verifiable, and dependable. Everything we've learned from processing over 100 million rows of data, building our own verification models, evaluation frameworks, and investment workflows, is now embedded into a powerful self-serve platform designed to help investors make institutional-grade decisions with confidence. Built for serious work. Built for accuracy. Try Leni today and experience the difference. 🚀

Humanoid robots are cool. But most of them aren’t ready for real-world work. X-Humanoid just launched Embodied Tien Kung 3.0 - a full-size humanoid robot built to actually operate in industrial and commercial environments. What makes it different? • Strong, high-torque joints for heavy tasks • Can move dynamically and stay stable • Handles complex motions (even over obstacles) • Millimeter-level precision for detailed work It runs on the Wise KaiWu AI platform, which allows the robot to see, think, and act in a continuous loop with less human control and support for multi-robot collaboration. It also supports ROS2, MQTT, and TCP/IP, and offers more open hardware + software interfaces to make development easier for teams. The goal is simple: make humanoid robots practical, easier to build on, and ready for real-world use. Visit: Check out the official launch video below to see what it can do! 👇 #Robotics #HumanoidRobot #AI

I spent time on the ground in Jakarta over the last few days and came away more convinced that it will play a growing and significant role in the internet financial system In many ways it already is; Indonesia has extremely high crypto and stablecoin adoption. Hard to think otherwise after meeting so many leading entrepreneurs and innovators. William Sutanto of indodax has built Indonesia's largest crypto assets platform. Calvin Kizana and sndyc of Tokocrypto operate one of Indonesia’s leading platforms, focused on delivering simple, secure, and seamless crypto trading and transactions. The Mobee team is focused on providing seamless access to digital asset trading and liquidity through an easy-to-use platform for both individuals and businesses. It was so great to spend time again with Vince Iswara, founder and CEO of DANA.id, which continues to improve the financial wellbeing of so many through innovation, and is the largest digital wallet platform in Indonesia. Kai and his team ICEx Group have built an OJK-licensed bourse for digital assets, operating Indonesia’s integrated exchange alongside clearing and custody infrastructure. Archie Anugrah, Andy Putra, shabrina adani and the whole team Pintu have built a mobile-first digital asset platform that serves millions and has been innovating in the space from the early days. Natasha Ardiani and the team at Durianpay are laser focused on making payments seamless across the entire ecosystem. The Lippo Group and Nobu Bank are thinking deeply about the digital future at one of Asia’s largest diversified conglomerates and digital bank, clearly poised to continue the firm’s legacy as an industry pioneer in Indonesia and beyond. jeth_soetoyo of CFX and I first met in 2018 before Circle had even launched USDC! It’s impressive what he did with Pintu and is now doing with PT Central Finansial X (CFX), a licensed bourse that is on a mission to accelerate the adoption of digital assets. I got to meet with him and leaders from ICC, KKI and IKS. D3Labs.io is a secure and compliant asset tokenization infrastructure for asset issuance, management, and transactions. taking an innovative approach to tokenization and real world assets. It was great to meet Chung Ying Lai and Tigran Adiwirya. They have a deep commitment to the local crypto community! Very strong energy across the board, excited about what we can do together and the potential for growth in this highly dynamic market.

🔥 JUST IN: Open-source robotics dataset from 100% real-world scenarios! 🤯 Chinese robotics company AGIBOT just released AGIBOT WORLD 2026, an open-source dataset systematically covering key embodied AI research directions. Built entirely from real-world environments: commercial spaces, and homes. Collected using AGIBOT G2 robots in free-form collection mode, providing structured, accurately annotated, high-quality data. Digital twin technology creates 1:1 scale replicas in simulation matching the real environments. Both real-world and simulation data are open-sourced. The AGIBOT G2 platform collects multiple data types simultaneously: RGB(D) cameras, tactile sensors, force sensors, LiDAR, IMU, and full-body joint states. Whole-body control coordinates arms, waist, and hands for complex tasks. First-person teleoperation lets operators control the robot from its perspective. The tasks covered are fine-grained manipulation, ultra-long-horizon tasks, spatial navigation, dual-arm coordination, and multi-agent/human-robot collaboration. The dataset includes error-recovery trajectories with annotations. Most datasets only show successful demonstrations. AGIBOT includes failures and how the robot recovers, teaching models how to handle mistakes. After collection, data is tested through policy training and real-robot deployment to ensure quality. Then processed through industrial quality control with multiple screening and cleaning rounds. Making it open-source accelerates embodied AI research by giving researchers access to high-quality real-world robot data at scale. 🇨🇳 Learn more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Synthetic data will provide the next trillion tokens to fuel our hungry models. I'm excited to announce MimicGen: massively scaling up data pipeline for robot learning! We multiply high-quality human data in simulation with digital twins. Using 50,000 training episodes across 18 tasks, multiple simulators, and even in the real-world! The idea is simple: 1. Humans tele-operate the robot to complete a task. It is extremely high-quality but also very slow and expensive. 2. We create a digital twin of the robot and the scene in high-fidelity, GPU-accelerated simulation. 3. We can now move objects around, replace with new assets, and even change the robot hand - basically augment the training data with procedural generation. 4. Export the successful episodes, and feed that to a neural network! You now have an near-infinite stream of data. One of the key reasons that robotics lags far behind other AI fields is the lack of data: you cannot scrape control signals from the internet. They simply don't exist in-the-wild. MimicGen shows the power of synthetic data and simulation to keep our scaling laws alive. I believe this principle apply beyond robotics. We are quickly exhausting the high-quality, real tokens from the web. Artificial intelligence from artificial data will be the way forward. We are big fans of the OSS community. As usual, we open-source everything, including the generated dataset! - Website: - Paper: - Dataset is hosted on HuggingFace (thanks AK!!): - Code: MimicGen is led by Ajay Mandlekar, deep dive in the thread:

Starting today, we're opening our Agentic Dialog Platform to every enterprise builder. Our dialog agents have resolved 1 billion+ customer conversations for clients like FedEx, Unicredit, PG&E, Marriott, Foot Locker, and many more. These aren't easy conversations. They solve problems like: > A patient booking medical transport who needs insurance verified on the spot. > A homeowner calling their utility company about a gas leak. > A cardholder figuring out why their must-have purchase was declined. Standard conversational AI was never built for this. It was designed for chat, adapted for voice later. It generates responses, but can't do what dialog requires: hold context under pressure, navigate ambiguity in real time, and actually resolve problems. So we built a better model. Our proprietary model Raven was built from the ground up specifically for dialog. Agent harness in the weights, not bolted on through prompts that drift under pressure. And in our platform, you can deploy Raven as your default or bring in GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, whatever model fits your use case or regulatory requirement. Now that the Agentic Dialog Platform is open, any team can create, test, and deploy dialog agents on the same model and infrastructure the world’s top brands trust on their hardest days. This opens up the pool of builders across your entire enterprise. The person who knows customers best, who runs operations, who owns the customer journey: they're all builders now. Two ways to build: > Poly Agent Builder: Describe your use case in natural language, and it configures your agent, knowledge base, and conversation flows automatically. Production-ready in ten minutes. > Agent Development Kit (ADK): Developers use this to build dialog agents the same way they build everything else. Use your own IDE, a coding assistant like Claude, version with Git, deploy from your terminal. Get started now:
