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 →

🚨 BREAKING: ABB Robotics + NVIDIA close the sim-to-real gap with 99% accuracy! 👾 ABB Robotics is integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into RobotStudio to deliver physical AI for industry, closing the gap from virtual training to real-world deployment with up to 99% accuracy. RobotStudio HyperReality, available second half of 2026, will fundamentally change how quickly manufacturers can scale production: reducing costs by up to 40%, accelerating time-to-market by 50%, and cutting setup and commissioning times by up to 80%. For decades, the deficit between simulation accuracy and real-world lighting, materials, and environments has limited manufacturers' ability to design advanced manufacturing processes in the virtual world. The only robot manufacturer with a virtual controller running the same firmware as the hardware, ensuring near-perfect correlation between simulation and real-world performance. The system uses physically accurate simulations and foundation models endlessly optimized with real-world data feedback. These models can train any number of ABB robots anywhere in the world with industrial-grade reliability. Foxconn is using RobotStudio HyperReality for consumer electronics assembly. Assembly robots are trained virtually using synthetic data to perfect multiple production processes across various scenarios, then moved to production lines with 99% accuracy. This eliminates physical training and tests, reducing setup times and costs. Workr is demonstrating AI-powered robotic systems at NVIDIA GTC 2026. Built on ABB technology, trained with synthetic data using NVIDIA Omniverse, deployed without operators needing programming knowledge . 🚨 I’ll be onsite in San Jose during GTC 2026, and will be showing all the cool stuff that ABB Robotics prepared this year!

2. NVIDIA is building the GPT of humanoid robots. They just launched Isaac GR00T N1.5 - a foundation model for general purpose robotics. Here’s how it works: → A human demos the task once → Cosmos (their physics AI model) generates 1,000s of variations → Omniverse simulates the motions in high fidelity → The robot trains entirely in simulation → Then fine-tunes itself in the real world Robots can now learn general skills across tasks, tools, even body types with just one human demo. AI isn’t just thinking in text anymore. It’s perceiving. Reasoning. Moving. Physical AI is here and it’s training itself.

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.

Turning video into humanoid robot motion! 🤳🏼 Training humanoid robots needs huge amounts of motion data, but real-world capture doesn’t scale. Mocap is expensive, dangerous edge cases are rare, and you can’t ask humans to repeatedly fall or crash. Video2Robot tackles this by converting videos into physics-grounded humanoid simulations. Motion is generated to respect balance, inertia, ground contact, and joint limits, then directly retargeted to robot simulators. One prompt can generate a full humanoid motion sequence, including multi-agent interactions and failure cases like falls or collisions, scenarios that are hard or impossible to capture safely in the real world. The pipeline is model-agnostic and works with existing video generators, making it a practical way to scale data for robots. If robots are going to operate in the real world, they need to be trained on the failures too, not just the perfect demos.

In just ~3 months, as a solo founder with no prior robotics experience, General Trajectory trained a foundation model for dexterous manipulation that lets humanoid robots pick up unseen objects and perform real-world work. It generalizes to novel objects and scenes, including cases where prior SoTA models achieve 0% success. Congrats on the launch Joshua!

Brain-controlled exoskeletons to train humanoid robots! 🧠 Fourier just presented human tele-operators using brain control interfaces and exoskeletal arms to train humanoid robots on home tasks. The brain control interface is the interesting part. Instead of using a controller or joystick to teleoperate, the operator's movements and intentions are captured more naturally through the exoskeleton and BCI. This means the demonstrations are more fluid, more human-like, and better suited for training robots to perform delicate home tasks. Multiple tele-operators are simultaneously generating training data across multiple robots. This is how you build the dataset needed for eventual full autonomy, without waiting years for it to arrive. This might be the bridge between "robots that work in controlled environments" and "robots that work in homes." Not full autonomy right away, but trusted human intelligence operating through a robot body, getting better with every task completed. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive hardware. No robot-specific data. Stanford open-sourced everything → hardware, code, datasets. What stands out to me is the bottleneck. Not algorithms. Data. Teleoperation → ~35 demos/hour UMI → ~111 demos/hour And the data transfers across robots → UR5, Franka, others. The design is surprisingly practical: → GoPro fisheye lens (155° FOV) + mirrors for depth → SLAM + IMU for precise 6DoF tracking → latency matching for dynamic tasks → diffusion policies for multimodal actions Then it scales. Cheng Chi takes this further with Sunday Robotics (with Tony Zhao). A $200 glove → deployed in 500+ homes → ~10 million real-world interactions. Not lab data. Real human behavior. Their robot learns dishes, laundry, espresso → with zero robot-specific data. This is where the shift becomes obvious. From training robots in controlled environments → to learning directly from humans at scale So here’s the real question: Will robotics be unlocked by better models… or by unlocking data? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

Robotics has a massive, silent bottleneck. It isn’t just data collection—it’s the brutal 1x speed of the physical world. Genesis AI Genesis AI just unveiled Genesis World 1.0, and they are attempting to turn the notorious Sim2Real gap into a pure compute problem. Evaluating a robotics foundation model across edge cases usually means hundreds of hours of physical lab testing. With Genesis World 1.0, what traditionally takes nearly a week of continuous, real-world operation is being compressed into 30 minutes in simulation. What makes this different from just dropping a robot model into an off-the-shelf game engine? 1️⃣ Nyx Renderer: A custom, real-time path-traced engine rendering noise-free 1080p frames in under 4ms. Game engines use rasterization tricks that confuse AI; Nyx uses physically accurate multi-bounce lighting so the model's "eyes" see exactly what real sensors see. 2️⃣ Quadrants Compiler: A custom Python-to-GPU compiler to run heavily parallelized multi-physics simulations (rigid bodies, fluids, deformables) natively across architectures. 3️⃣ Evaluation First: They aren't rushing to train on synthetic data. They are using this purely for closed-loop evaluation to perfect the physics first, currently claiming an impressive 89% correlation with real-world hardware tests. If the industry can accurately evaluate models in simulation without the physical world bottleneck, humanoid development stops moving at wall-clock time and starts scaling with compute.

My conversation with Sergey Levine (Sergey Levine). Sergey is the co-founder of Physical Intelligence -- a company building foundation models that can control any robot to do any task in any environment. The company's thesis is that generality is more scalable than specialization, meaning that a model trained across many different robots and tasks will ultimately outperform any system built to do one thing well (eg, just wash dishes). Sergey is a researcher by background, but I think you will appreciate how practical and commercially grounded this conversation is. We discuss: - Why changing a diaper will be the last task a robot masters - The simulation v. real-world data debate - How multimodal LLMs give robots common sense - Moravec's Paradox + Robot Olympics - Why robots can do long-horizon tasks now - A realistic timeline for robots in our homes I should note that I am an investor in Physical Intelligence -- I made the investment because I believe it is one of the most important companies tackling the problem of robotics.

📢 Announcing one of the most exciting works from us this year on **scalable robot policy evaluation through real-to-sim transfer**, moving toward a scalable evaluation engine with structured world models that capture the appearance, geometry, and dynamics of environments involving deformable objects. 🤖 Evaluation remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in building general-purpose robots. Today, robots are still evaluated only in the real world, which is **orders of magnitude slower** than the development of language agents. We propose a new framework where simulation performance **strongly correlates** with the real world (r > 0.9), even for deformable objects. The key difference from existing work lies in the correlation between simulation and reality: if a robot model performs better in the digital world, does it also perform better in the real world? This question has long made people hesitant about simulation-based evaluation — especially for deformable objects. We are changing that. Our pipeline achieves effective real-to-sim transfer, establishing **state-of-the-art correlation** between simulation and reality for deformable object manipulation. It provides a **scalable and reproducible evaluation engine** for robot learning. 🌐

AI for robotics has some monumental challenges, like high dimensionality and reasoning with the physical world. Ashok Elluswamy, AI lead at Tesla, thinks the hardest problem is Evaluation. - Loss isn't a perfect indicator of Policy Neural Network's quality. - Testing in the real world for all the long-tail failure cases is not possible. To solve the evaluation challenge, Tesla has developed a World Simulator Model. It is trained on state and action pairs, so for a given current camera feed and current action, the model generates the next frame in the cameras. Once the world simulation is good enough, it can be hooked up to the policy network for a closed-loop simulation. In this setup, the model generates the next video frames, and based on those, the policy network comes up with the next action, which feeds back into the world simulation; this continuous loop creates a coherent simulation. The world simulation neural network is not just applicable to self-driving but also to humanoids, because Tesla trains it on common data. The examples show Optimus navigating or manipulating inside the world simulation, with all the pixels being generated by the world simulation model. The robotic agents can be tested in an accurately reproduced edge case and in other potential variations of the same edge case.

Skild has been quiet since emerging from stealth in July 2024. They just shared their journey so far, showcasing early milestones. Skild is building toward a single general-purpose, “omni-bodied” robotics foundation model: One Brain – any task, any robot.
