Something big is happening in robotics - and it’s hiding in plain sight. This post is not about dancing robots but in the data that powers them. Open robotics datasets have exploded this year, turning the field into a more scalable and collaborative ecosystem. In just two years, Hugging Face datasets grew from 11k to over 600k - and robotics is by far the fastest-growing segment. We went from 1k robotics datasets in 2024 to 27k in 2025! For comparison, text generation, the second-largest category, has only around 5k datasets in 2025. That gap is massive. Open datasets are important because robotics lives and dies by real-world robot data - video, actions, sensors, failures. By making this data easy to upload, reuse, and benchmark, researchers, startups, and large players are now releasing real-robot datasets that would have stayed locked inside labs just a few years ago. Major contributors include NVIDIA, LeRobot initiative, and a rapidly growing maker community. This surge is also enabled by cheaper video storage, better tooling, and an open-source AI culture now spilling into the physical world. And it really matters: open robotics data dramatically lowers entry barriers, accelerates learning-by-doing, and speeds up progress toward generalist and humanoid robots. Robotics won’t scale through hardware alone - but to a large extent through shared data. Viz below from AI World - link to the story and more viz/filters in comment.

SoftBank is reportedly in early talks to back a massive $800M funding round for Munich-based Agile Robots, with a contribution of over $ 300M. The move signals a major escalation in Masayoshi Son's "brains and bodies" strategy to dominate physical AI infrastructure. Why this matters for the robotics industry: 🤖 The Flywheel: Agile Robots isn't just hardware. Founded by German Aerospace Center (DLR) alumni, they vertically integrate AI software with humanoids, warehouse automation, and robotic arms. 🧠 Frontier Ecosystems: Agile ONE was recently named a founding member of NVIDIA’s Cosmos Coalition and is deep in a research partnership with Google DeepMind to bring Gemini to the factory floor. 💰 The Capital Race: Global investment in robotics more than tripled in 2025. SoftBank is pairing this hardware play with its recent $1.4B investment in Skild AI and its $5.4B acquisition of ABB Robotics. While both companies have declined to comment on the early-stage talks, the deal highlights a furious shift toward deploying foundational AI in physical manufacturing and logistics.

OVER x Silencio We’re partnering with Silencio | Voice Data for AI to add a new layer of data to the OVER mapping experience. Starting today, users can optionally capture real-world sound while creating their 3D maps inside the OVER app, and we seamlessly share the noise data with Silencio. This will soon allow mappers who capture both visuals and sound to also unlock additional rewards for their contribution. 🌎 We map physical locations around the world. 🌎 Silencio maps the world through sound. Together combining visual + audio signals , we’re enriching the foundation of Physical AI with deeper, multi-layered real-world data.

"Automate Earth, Enable Space" Over the last two weeks, we've explored how robotics can transform the terra-space industry. We're incredibly grateful to Meagan Murphy Crawford , Jim Thomas , and Sean D. Graham for introducing us to key industry leaders and facilitating our tour of the US Space Force facility at Cape Canaveral. With a deeper understanding of the space sector’s needs, we see a growing opportunity for Earth-based robotics to play a pivotal role in supporting space advancements. The intersection of robotics and space is not just a possibility; it’s essential for the future of both industries. #RoboticsForSpace #TerraSpace #AutomateEarth #FutureOfSpace #InnovationInAction #Robotics NVIDIA Robotics

Today may be the ImageNet moment for robotics. RT-X: the largest open-source robot dataset ever compiled, across 33 institutes, 22 robot hardware, 527 skills, and 1M episodes. Why is robotics lagging so far behind NLP, vision, and other AI domains? Data scarcity is the main culprit to blame, among other difficulties. Unlike text, images, and videos, you cannot download mass amounts of onboard robot control data from the internet. They simply don't exist in the wild. 11 yrs ago, ImageNet kicked off the deep learning revolution. 3-4 yrs ago, internet-scale data fueled the first GPTs and Diffusions that define this era of foundation models. I think 2023 is finally the year for robotics to scale up. Robot foundation models like VIMA ( my team's work at NVIDIA) and RT-1/2 ( Google DeepMind's effort) are extremely data hungry. While massively parallel simulations like NVIDIA IsaacGym & Omniverse can alleviate the problem to some extent, it's still not quite enough to bridge the gap to the messy, physical world. This new dataset is not just a technical contribution. I also see it as a commendable effort to overcome institutional bureaucracies and unite researchers from around the world to tackle a grand challenge together. Robotics will be the final holy grail that we capture in AI. We are not there yet, but ascending in the right gradient direction. RT-X website: Launch blog:

🚨 BREAKING: NVIDIA just announced the Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot. The first fully open humanoid robot reference design built on Jetson Thor, and it's going straight to the world's top research institutions. This is Jensen Huang's bet on open physical AI infrastructure. The hardware stack is serious: → Unitree H2 Plus chassis, 6 feet tall, 150 pounds, 31 degrees of freedom → Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands, 22 degrees of freedom, bringing total to 75 across the full body → NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor onboard compute, 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI performance, 128GB unified memory → Multi-view sensing, stereo head camera, wrist cameras, IMU Alongside this announcement, Unitree also introduced the H2 Plus as a standalone product, a frontier humanoid combining Unitree's own body, Sharpa's five-finger hands and NVIDIA Robotics Jetson Thor compute into one fully integrated research platform. The full Isaac GR00T software stack ships with it, teleoperation for data capture, open foundation models, Isaac Sim for training, Isaac Lab for evaluation, and accelerated ROS middleware for deployment. The complete loop from data to real-world robot in one unified platform. ETH Zürich, Stanford Robotics Center, UC San Diego and Ai2 are already on board as launch research partners. NVIDIA Robotics did to AI what it's now doing to robotics, build the platform, open the ecosystem, let the world build on top of it. Whoever owns the infrastructure layer wins. NVIDIA knows this better than anyone. 👀 Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

🧵In the world of physical AI, we’re used to seeing videos sped up to hide how slow robots actually are. Eka Robotics, Inc. is doing the exact opposite. They’re showing their robots at 1/25x speed because the movement is so fast and the force-sensitivity so precise, you’d miss the "superhuman" dexterity in real-time.
