So cool! Can you even tell this is a robot horse? 🤖🐎 DEEP Robotics has built a robot horse, seemingly a special Year of the Horse limited edition based on their M20 Pro. The bionic details on this machine are incredible, especially those lifelike hooves. It looks like a living creature rather than just another quadruped robot. It is amazing to see a quad robot move so smoothly while having such a realistic animal appearance.

Jeff Bezos tries the Tactile Telerobot. The Tactile Telerobot is a haptic telerobotic system capable of transmitting realistic touch feedback to an operator located anywhere in the world. Developed through a joint collaboration between Shadow Robot Company, HaptX, and SynTouch, the project’s initial research and development was funded by All Nippon Airways. -- Robotics teams are challenged to turn human-like dexterity from theory into real-world systems. While dexterous manipulation promises major impact across industries, a gap remains between capability and deployment. Shadow Robot helps close this gap through a dexterity-first, structured engagement model that transforms ideas into prototypes and scalable solutions. The "Trusted Hands: Engineering Collaboration with Shadow Robot" whitepaper highlights how collaboration and repeatable frameworks enable organizations to overcome barriers and advance dexterous robotics in new domains.

An interactive world model developed by NVIDIA in collaboration with academic partners. - DreamDojo turns egocentric human video data into physical intelligence. - Human data is more scalable than robotics data but lacks action labels. - To solve this, a dedicated action model extracts latent actions by identifying physics and motion deltas between frames. Training - A massive 44k hours of video data are used for pre-training. - Post-training on small-scale robot datasets maps human physics to specific robot embodiments. - An additional distillation stage converts the model into an autoregressive, few-step diffusion model, enabling real-time, action-controllable simulation. Primary Use Cases - Live Teleoperation: Controlling a robot inside a world simulation in real-time. - Model-based Planning: Previewing and curating the best actions for improved success. - Policy Evaluation: Testing robot policies in realistic, out-of-distribution scenarios. Everything that's open-sourced: weights, code, post-training dataset, eval set, and details to reproduce.

China unveils humanoid robot with lifelike skin and blinking eyes built for daily life | Prabhat Ranjan Mishra, Interesting Engineering Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) help process and interpret complex data from human interactions. A Shanghai-based company has developed humanoid robots that appear as real as humans. The advanced bionic humanoid robot is integrated with self-supervised AI algorithms. Named Elf V1, the robot can perceive the world, communicate, learn, and interact intelligently with its surroundings. Developed by AheadForm Technology, the robot offers up to 30 degrees of freedom, powered by a precise control system and an advanced AI learning algorithm. Robot offers expressive facial features The robot offers expressive facial features, moving eyes, and synchronized speech. It can also convey emotions and understand human non-verbal cues, making interactions more natural and engaging. The robot has highly interactive capabilities and lifelike appearances. AheadForm expects that its robots could soon seamlessly integrate into daily life, providing assistance, companionship, and support across various industries. “We believe that by developing realistic and expressive robot heads, we can bridge the gap between humans and machines, fostering a new era of interactive and intelligent robotics,” said the company in a statement. Reports revealed that to avoid the “uncanny valley” effect and be able to interact with us, they are given lifelike skin and capabilities to read our emotions and respond appropriately using dynamic expression simulation and emotion generation tech. Bionic skin and high-precision control system The Elf V1 series of humanoids features 30 facial muscles animated by brushless micro-motors and managed by a high-precision control system. Paired with an ability to detect their users’ emotions with low latency and bionic skin, their facial expressions are nearly identical to those of humans, reported CGTN. The company claims it’s pioneering the development of realistic humanoid robots designed to revolutionize human-robot interaction. It’s enhancing sophisticated humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact seamlessly with humans. By combining cutting-edge AI and advanced robotics, AheadForm aims to bring life to machines and transform how humans engage with technology. AI models boost robots’ responsiveness Seamless integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into the humanoid robots can help them process and interpret complex data from human interactions, enabling the robot to learn and adapt in real-time, achieving human-level understanding and responsiveness. AheadForm uses Brushless Motors that deliver ultra-quiet operation and high responsiveness, specifically designed for precision facial movements in humanoid robots. With its compact size, lightweight design, and energy efficiency, this motor is the ideal choice for next-generation robots that require precise, subtle facial control to create a truly human-like experience. Previously, the company unveiled the Lan Series that features realistic humanoid robots with soft skin and 10 degrees of freedom, offering a lifelike appearance and intuitive movements. This series is designed for cost-efficiency, for applications prioritizing mobility and manipulation.

Testing robot policies on hardware is slow, expensive and hard to scale. World models offer a promising path to accelerating robot policy development. We're sharing new research from the Runway Robotics team, in which we simulated 8 robot policies inside our General World Model and found 0.95 correlation with real-world results. Those early results point to world model simulation as a practical substitute for hardware evaluation, comparing favorably to existing real-to-sim approaches. Learn more at the link below.

Robotics are progressing so fast that pretty soon you won't be able to tell the difference between a robot and a person walking by you on the street - if they don't want you to know. And we are 5 years away from that.
