In our new work, we study whether robots can improve after deployment by learning from their own failures, without any human intervention, teleoperation, or corrective labels. The key idea is simple: human videos contain structure about how the world works. We use them to learn cross-embodiment representations of action, dynamics, and value, enabling a shared predictive space between human behavior and robot experience. This allows a new learning loop: 👉 pretrain on human videos 👉 deploy robot policy 👉 observe failures 👉 reinterpret failures using human priors 👉 improve autonomously We evaluate this across 7 real-world manipulation tasks, showing: 📈 40% → 81% success rate 🏆 Strong improvements over π0.6 RECAP and RISE ✔️ Zero human intervention during post-deployment improvement 🧬 Generalizes across robot embodiments and policy backbones A key finding is that explicit failure repair significantly outperforms failure reweighting, yielding substantially larger gains under identical data conditions (+25 pts vs +5 pts on the same π0.5 base policy). Overall, the results suggest a shift in how we think about robot learning: Human videos are not only for pretraining policies. They can provide the structure needed for continual self-improvement after deployment. 📄 Paper: 🌐 Project: I am grateful for working with the fantastic leads Hanzhi Chen and Anran Zhang, and our collaborators Simon Schaefer, Kejia Chen, Shi Chen, Daniel Cremers.

A natural solution is DAgger-style online imitation learning: deploy the robot, collect human corrections, and update the policy. Yet foundation models are fragile in the low-data regime, fine-tuning on a handful of interventions can improve one behavior while degrading others. Online post-training or reinforcement learning can require costly data collection and exploration, making real-world learning expensive and potentially unsafe. In our new paper, 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗗𝗔𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿, we take a different approach: 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹, 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. The key idea is 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: we map human corrective actions back into the latent noise space of the frozen generative policy. These latent targets train a lightweight controller that adapts the robot while preserving the original model's capabilities. Across simulation and real robots, FlowDAgger: 📈 Learns from only 5–20 human intervention episodes 🏆 Outperforms supervised fine-tuning and latent-space reinforcement learning 🤖 Works across VLAs, diffusion policies, and world-action models ✔️ Provides reliable improvements without modifying the pretrained policy We believe this offers a practical path toward making robot foundation models improve during deployment, learning from the way humans naturally teach: through corrections. 📄 Paper: 🌐 Project: 💻 Code: This project was led by my amazing colleague Michael Murray with help from Daphne Chen, Simran Bagaria, Dean Fortier, Tess Hellebrekers, Harshavardhan Reddy Gajarla, Galen Mullins and Andrey Kolobov at Microsoft Research and Maya Cakmak at University of Washington

🚨 The Supreme Court of India’s bold move to round up Delhi’s stray dogs is a long-overdue response to a deadly crisis—35,000+ dog bites in 2025 alone, kids dying of rabies, a 100% fatal disease! Yet, here come the animal activists, marching on the streets, crying for “dog rights” while ignoring the blood of human victims. Delhi’s 10 lakh strays terrorize communities, maul infants, and spread fear, but these so-called compassion warriors clutch their pearls over dogs being sheltered, sterilized, and vaccinated. Where’s this outrage when human lives are at stake? Why is it always animals over people? The court’s order for shelters, CCTV monitoring, and a helpline is a practical step to save lives, but activists call it “cruel” while kids’ bodies pile up. Shame on you for prioritizing strays over human safety Meanwhile, these same activists and their politician pals stay silent on the real epidemic: gender-biased laws like the Domestic Violence Act, IPC 498A, and Dowry Act, which have crushed innocent men for decades. Men are dragged through courts, jailed, and ruined by false accusations, with no due process, no fairness—laws that spit on Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21 of our Constitution guaranteeing equality and justice. Where are the marches for these men? Where’s the academic outcry for their rights? These hypocrites scream for “justice” for dogs but turn a blind eye to men’s suffering. Apparently, a stray’s “freedom” to bite and kill is worth more than a man’s life destroyed by a vindictive ex-wife’s lies. This selective morality is a disgrace—dogs over humans, every time! I love dogs too, but let’s not pretend this stray dog menace isn’t a public health disaster. Rabies kills 60,000 globally, and India’s 36% of that toll is a national shame. The Supreme Court’s directive isn’t about cruelty—it’s about saving kids, elderly, and families from a preventable plague. Activists whining about “inhumane” shelters conveniently ignore the chaos of dogs fighting, starving, or dying on streets. If you love dogs, adopt them! Fund shelters! But don’t lecture us on “rights” while children die and men suffer under unjust laws. These activists and academics need to stop their virtue-signaling nonsense and face reality: human lives matter more than your sanctimonious dog-saving crusade. Wake up, India—protect people first, not strays #straydogs

Facial reconstruction of a 5,750-year-old man from Koskuduk, Mangyshak peninsula, Kazakhstan During archaeological investigations of the ancient settlement of Koskuduk I near the city of Aktau in the Republic of Kazakhstan, A. E. Astafyev discovered a burial (No. 1) containing a human skeleton lying in a flexed position on its left side. The burial was covered with stones. The author of the excavation attributes the settlement to the Oyuklin culture of the Eastern Caspian region, which formed through interaction between the local population and migrant groups of the Khvalynsk culture of the Volga–Ural region and the Kelteminar culture of Central Asia [Astafyev, 2006, p. 169]. The skeleton belonged to a mature male. The braincase is very long front-to-back, narrow side-to-side, and tall. The forehead is moderately wide and sloping, with very pronounced brow ridges (especially on the left), giving the skull an archaic appearance. The back of the skull is rounded with weak protrusions; the mastoid processes are large. The face is of medium width and height. The left orbit is of average height but relatively low, though for ancient populations it is considered high. The nasal opening is damaged but was likely narrow; the nasal bones are large and strongly projecting. The canine fossa is deep. The upper jaw is long and narrow, with a high palate. Facial profiling is sharp. The face is vertically straight, but the alveolar (tooth-bearing) part projects forward. The lower jaw is narrow but wide at the angles, with a well-developed triangular chin. Overall, the face is high and robust. The craniological complex of the Koskuduk individual can be stated quite definitively that it belongs to the Southeuropoid type. In this respect, it has nothing in common with the known skulls of the Neolithic-Eneolithic populations of northern and eastern Kazakhstan (Botai, Zhelezinka, Ust-Narym, Chernovaya II, Shiderty), which represent variants of steppe and more northern origin [Rykushina, Zaibert, 1984; Ginzburg, 1956, 1963; Ismagulova, 1989; Yablonsky, 1998]. Taking into account the archaeological parallels of the Oyuklin culture, it is possible to compare the Koskuduk skull with those of the Kelteminar and Khvalynsk cultures, where the Southeuropoid anthropological types have also been noted.

Facial reconstruction of a 4,500-year-old Yamnaya-Catacomb man from Odesa region, Ukraine Based on the analyses of the anthropologist Mikhail Gerasimov, this individual resembles a more massive North Caucasian and, possibly, based on anthropological similarity, is linked to the North Caucasus. Not far from the Odesa region, In Moldova, Maikop and Maikop-admixed individuals have been found, with one carrying J2b2b2 Y-DNA (I17973), and a pure Yamnaya individual (I10206) carrying J2b2a1 Y-DNA, likewise possibly having a distant Maikop or Maikop-related ancestor. The anthropologist Mikhail Gerasimov (1955) describes the individual as follows: The skull of a Yamnaya culture individual from Kurgan No. 9 near Akkerman (Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi) (catacomb burial). The skull, belonging to a man aged over 33–35 years, is very massive, with strongly developed relief of the cranial vault and face. The skull is long (191 mm; approximate width — 134 mm), with an irregular ellipsoid shape. The cranial vault is relatively high. The occiput does not project and is sloping. The forehead is low and wide (100.5 mm); the glabella is massive and sloping but does not protrude strongly (2 points). The brow ridges are short and swollen (2 points). The mastoid processes are massive, with strong relief. The face is tall (121 mm), broad (138 mm), strongly profiled, orthognathic. The cheekbones are very massive; the orbits are low (31 mm), fairly wide (41 mm), and weakly profiled. The nose projects extremely strongly; it is very high (59.5 mm) but not very wide (25 mm). The canine fossae are deep. The alveolar process is small in size (14 mm). The P1–P4 distance is 56 mm. Height of the incisor enamel is 8 mm. The mandible is robust, with strong relief and a markedly projecting chin (+3 points), yet nevertheless orthognathic; it forms an edge-to-edge (pincer) bite with orthognathic teeth. The anthropological diagnosis of this skull, within first-order racial classification, presents no difficulty: it is a typical Europoid. Further diagnosis is more difficult. In its massiveness, the skull is not inferior to Cro-Magnon-type skulls, but in shape it is very far from both classic Cro-Magnon and Predmostí skulls. It shows no traits of the Combe-Capelle man, nor of the typical Northern European; it also does not resemble the modern Mediterranean type. If this skull were more gracile and brachycranial, one might associate it with the North Caucasian European type; however, it is dolichocranial and very massive. Nevertheless, recalling its apparent connection with the North Caucasus, we tentatively propose a North Caucasian origin, viewing the modern North Caucasian type as a strongly gracilized form of an ancient type recorded in the skulls of this Bronze Age culture during the formation of its Catacomb variant.

A Letter to Our Community: The Road Ahead for Robotics To our Community and Partners, As we step into 2026, our mission at Axis is clearer than ever: Constructing the definitive End-to-End Scaling Layer for Robotics. Our goal is to accelerate the transfer of diverse human intelligence into Robotics General Intelligence (RGI). By owning the critical path of intelligence creation, we are turning the physical limitations of robotics into a scalable, software-driven future. Here is our strategic outlook and roadmap for the year ahead. The Core Thesis: Simulation is the Only Way Out The path to RGI is currently blocked by Data Scarcity, Generalization Fragility, and Hardware Fragmentation. At Axis, we believe Simulation is the only way out. Our Simulation Data Platform and Data Augmentation Engine transform raw data into "Synthetic Gold". Backed by academic milestones like Roboverse, Skill Blending, and GraspVLA, we have proven that pure simulation can achieve the generalization required for the real world. We don’t just collect data; we architect it. The Engine: Why Crypto? We believe RGI should come from all, not a few. Crypto is not just a feature; it is the primitive that powers our entire ecosystem flywheel: - Incentive Mechanism: Democratizing contribution and rewarding the trainers and developers. - Assetization: Turning proprietary data and refined models into liquid, ownable assets. - Verifiable Workflow: We are opening the "Black Box" of AI. By bringing total transparency to the Task Generation → Data Collection → Model Training pipeline, we ensure every byte of intelligence is verifiable, traceable, and secure. 2026 Strategic Deliverables This year, we are committed to delivering three foundational pillars: - The World's Largest Training Dataset for Robots: A robot training set—diverse, high-quality interaction data at an unprecedented scale. - A Robotics Foundation Model: A universal robotic brain trained on our pure simulation and synthetic data, capable of robust cross-embodiment transfer and open-world adaptability. - Evolvable Robot Hardware: Robots deployed with Axis models that autonomously evolve through continuous interaction, turning every deployment into a self-improving node within our RGI network. The Ultimate Vision We are building more than models; we are architecting the Distributed Machine Economy. A future where every dataset, model, and robotic embodiment is a verifiable asset in a global, autonomous network. Thank you for building the future of intelligence with us✌️📷
