RoboBallet: End of Manual Robot Programming Google DeepMind/Intrinsic/UCL just cracked multi-robot coordination. Published in Science Robotics. 🤖What it does: – 8 robots, 40 tasks, zero collisions - all planned in seconds – 25% better motion plans than expert-designed solutions – 60% faster task completion when scaling from 4 to 8 robots – Works on factory layouts, it's never seen 👩‍💻 The tech: – Graph Neural Networks map robots/obstacles as connected nodes – Reinforcement learning trains on millions of scenarios – No manual programming required - just give it CAD files and tasks ❓Question: The bottleneck to robot collaboration has always been manual prototyping. Now that we can automate the automation what will this unlock?

Okay, this is seriously cool. A team from Google DeepMind, including DeepMind Cofounder Shane Legg, published a paper "From AGI to ASI". In the paper, they include instructions for an AI agent to read along with you. You can open the paper in Codex's in-app browser and have GPT-5.5 read it with you and explain all the concepts. This is the future. AI agents will be part of the target audience, and help us to understand anything we want.

Can we make Transformers better and more efficient for robot learning? Excited to introduce Body Transformer (BoT), an architecture that leverages robot embodiment in the attention mechanism, by treating it as a graph of sensors and actuators.

A family home of 20 years that was built without planning permission is now a pile of rubble. Reminder - In 2022 the Irish government changed the law despite massive public objections, allowing owners of non-residential buildings to sign lucrative contracts for housing 3rd world migrants. Warehouses, office blocks, convention centers, and even nursing homes across Ireland have since been converted into migrant accommodation. Billions in taxpayer money paid out for housing migrants in structures without the appropriate planning permission. Meanwhile, a family home has been demolished because the owners didn't have planning permission. This government policy of turning every structure in Ireland into migrant housing is set to continue until at least 2029. Recent media reports suggest Ireland could soon have "Asylum billionaires." An oligarch class who have built their wealth from a system that bypasses planning laws in order to stuff migrants into every corner of Ireland. Do you see the problem here?

Unreal Engine 5.3 launches today! One of the things I worked on (with @RobotBrendan) this release was Learning Agents - an experimental plugin for doing Reinforcement Learning in UE. It's early days & lots to do but check out this tut for a sneak peak!

ELON: WE CAUGHT STARSHIP’S BOOSTER WITHOUT THE HELP OF AI “Not bad for humans. No AI was involved in that whatsoever. I'm glad to say that we did that that entirely with human brains and without AI. I think in the future the AI might look at that and say, not bad for a bunch of monkeys.” Source: Future Investment Initiative, October 2024

Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) paradigms in autonomous driving primarily rely on Imitation Learning (IL), which introduces inherent challenges such as distribution shift and causal confusion. Online Reinforcement Learning offers a promising pathway to address these issues through trial-and-error learning. However, applying online reinforcement learning to VLA models in autonomous driving is hindered by inefficient exploration in continuous action spaces. MindDrive, a VLA framework comprising a large language model (LLM) with two distinct sets of LoRA parameters. The one LLM serves as a Decision Expert for scenario reasoning and driving decision-making, while the other acts as an Action Expert that dynamically maps linguistic decisions into feasible trajectories.

Conducting road safety audits, scheduling maintenance, or planning logistics routes used to require combing through imagery or, worse, driving miles of roads yourself. Not anymore. New AI-powered data layers in Google Earth are changing that. Pulling from billions of Google Street View images, these layers now spot infrastructure assets like stop signs, speed limit signs, and more to map infrastructure for you. By combining these assets into a single project and diving into Street View you can locate and validate assets on Google Earth in seconds. These layers are now available for Professional & Professional Advanced customers on web and Android, with coverage expanding over the coming weeks.

Qualia has been selected for the Google DeepMind Robotics Program. We train embodied models that put a robot on a real manual task and make it work, on the floor, not in a demo. Foundation models and reasoning are where robotics is heading, and doing that work alongside DeepMind, who are pushing this frontier, is exactly where we want to be. If you are a company looking to see how a new generation of robots can help your manual tasks, contact us at hello@qualiastudios.dev More soon
