Generalist AI has just broken the "impossible triangle" of speed, reliability, and intelligence in robotics. They’ve pushed their embodied foundation model forward in a big way: GEN-1 hits “Mastery” on simple physical tasks,99% average success rate, and it can improvise when things go wrong. Smooth, natural, fast(factory owners must be very interested)👇 >Folding boxes: 200 runs at 99% success in ~12 seconds ( ~34s before) >Packing phones, folding T-shirts, servicing robot vacuums,hundreds of reps with almost zero failures > Intelligent improvisation, handling uncertain tasks >Needs only about 1 hour of robot-specific data per task This feels like a real step toward humanoid robots that are actually reliable enough for factories, warehouse or homes.

Experiments in progress. The one on the right has been learning for ~3 hours, the one in the middle for ~1 hour, and the one on the left just started a few minutes ago. The initial motivation for making the physical Atari was just to commit ourselves to a subset of algorithms that can make progress in this setup. This commitment rules out algorithms that require billions of samples to learn (or worse, require multiple environments running in parallel). Atari games are simple enough that we should be able to show learning on them in a short amount of time with no prior knowledge. Since then, I've realized that this setup is also a good way to compare different paradigms in robotics in a principled way. These paradigms are sim2real, learning from tele-operated data, and learning directly on the robots. So far, I have observed that getting sim2real to work reliably is hard. It requires tweaks that don't scale. Policies that can play perfectly in simulation fall apart because of latencies and the messiness of the real world. These aspects could be modeled to improve the simulation, but not without sinking significant human engineering hours. I have higher hopes for learning from tele-operated data, but that requires a human to learn the task first. These experiments are on my to-do list. I have to learn to play some of the games well through the robot. I’m half-decent at playing Pong and Ms Pacman now. Learning directly on robots is looking like the most promising approach. This approach takes away pesky distribution shifts and makes it possible to have algorithms that continually improve with more data and time without any human intervention. It feels great to let experiments run overnight and wake up to find improved policies. With learning on robots, I should, in principle, be able to go on a long vacation and come back to find better policies for complex tasks beyond Atari games. Whether that is possible with current learning algorithms is a different question.

Are you kidding me??? It grasps multiple objects with different ways, all at once with… a single hand??? No pauses. 1x speed. GENE-26.5 is Genesis AI’s robotics-native multimodal foundation model. It’s trained on 200,000+ hours of real human hand data (motion, force, touch) and runs on a 54-DoF bimanual system: Scaling that human data 4x lifted real-robot success rates from 16.6% to 65.6% on long-horizon dexterous tasks!! Same model weights, zero fine-tuning for this exact sequence. You know those tiny coordinated movements you do without thinking…? Robots couldn’t reliably do that before. Now they can. Today. This is the video you’ll send to my friends, outside of our bubble, when they say “robots are still just demos.” Congrats to the entire team around Zhou Xian!

JUST IN: Dyna Robotics just published one of the most important research papers in robotics this year. It could fundamentally change how robot foundation models are trained. A scaling law that transfers from human video to robot performance. Dyna-2 is out and it's 🔥 Here's what that means in plain terms. Dyna-2 was pre-trained on ONE MILLION hours of egocentric human video, 170 years of continuous human experience, cooking, folding, assembling, cleaning. And as that human data scaled, robot performance improved. Predictably. Monotonically. Across 39 tasks on two different robot embodiments the model had never seen. → 1,000 hours pre-training → 20% normalised task performance → 10,000 hours → 28% → 100,000 hours → 45% → 1,000,000 hours → 53% Human video exists at effectively unlimited scale. Every cook, every factory worker, every craftsperson wearing a camera is generating training data for future robots. But the finding that stunned even the researchers, world modeling is what makes the transfer work. A model trained to predict future video AND actions massively outperforms one trained on actions alone. Video is the new scaling axis for robotics. One more jaw-dropping data point. 13 minutes of teleoperation data was enough to fine-tune Dyna-2 to open a bottle cap using two five-fingered robot hands. The robots are coming, and they're learning from us directly :D Read more here: Congrats Jason Ma and team! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

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 →

In order for robots to be deployed in the real world, performing tasks of real value, they must be reliable. Unfortunately, even more, most robotic demos work maybe 70-80% of the time at best. The way to get better reliability is to do real-world reinforcement learning: having the robot teach itself how to perform the task up to a high level of success. The key to doing this is to start with a core of expert human data, use that to train a policy then iteratively improve it, until finally finishing with on-policy reinforcement learning. Kun Lei talks through a unified framework for imitation and reinforcement learning based on PPO, which enables this improvement process. In this episode, Kun Lei explains the theory behind his reinforcement learning method and how it allowed his robot to run in a shopping mall juicing oranges for seven hours at a time, among experiments on a wide variety of tasks and embodiments.

Foundation models are enough to solve robotics! Unfortunately, this is not true. We keep hearing that Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models struggle because of the gap between static training and the dynamic real world. A German startup (Sereact) just released a solution that bridges this gap perfectly. They are introducing a new paradigm called Interactive RL Policy Patching. It's a distributed framework that allows robots to self-learn from human corrections without needing full retraining. When a robot fails, a human operator provides a brief "patch" or demonstration. The system then uses online off-policy reinforcement learning to update the behavior instantly. This is powered by a massive foundation model trained on hundreds of millions of interactions from over 100 deployed robot stations. The best part is the distributed parameter synchronization... When one robot learns a fix, the update is published fleet-wide... meaning the entire swarm gets smarter from a single human intervention. They are already proving this on complex manipulation tasks like shoe unboxing and screw sorting, drastically reducing the data needed to handle edge cases. Real-world environments are unforgiving, and I love seeing systems that can actually adapt on the fly! 📍 More info:

Leju Robotics has launched the upgraded KUAVO 5/5-W humanoid and wheeled robots, designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial automation. The robots feature a modular design that is key to flexibility: the legs are quickly replaceable with bipedal configurations (for complex terrain) or wheeled setups (for long-distance stability). The hands are also modular, supporting dexterous hands, grippers, or claws. This adaptability, combined with a rotatable and height-adjustable body, allows the robot to handle a vast range of factory tasks. Built for industrial stamina, the KUAVO series supports a 20kg maximum payload and an upper-body dual-arm payload of 10kg. It is engineered for continuous operation, boasting a battery life of over 8 hours. The control system achieves "silky-smooth" precision via doubled joint communication frequency. To drive high generalizability, Leju relies on a data-driven model. It established China's largest data acquisition center in Beijing (referred to as the "largest humanoid robot skill school") to collect over 6 million data points annually from 1:1 replications of real industrial scenes. This data feeds a universal multi-modal dataset, enabling the robot's "intelligent brain" to continuously learn complex tasks through closed-loop feedback in client factory environments.

A team tested Pi0, Pi0 Fast, Gr00t, and ACT on real robot arms in manufacturing tasks. (🔖 Bookmark this for later!) The task was precise: place thin rectangular frames from a messy stack into a holder. The team fine-tuned each model on 100 real trajectories and compared training time, inference speed, motion quality, and success rates. ⬇️ Here’s a breakdown of what they found Pi0 (Original) ✅ Strongest overall performance in precise pick-and-place ✅ High success rate even in edge cases ✅ Longest training time (~11 hours, ~$30 per run) ✅ Inference time of 80 ms causes short pauses between actions Despite delays, it handles complex scenarios well… solid for high-precision tasks, but slow to train. Gr00t ✅ Trains fast (~2 hours, ~$5 per run) ✅ Performs almost as well as Pi0 on large-object tasks ✅ Struggles with fine precision; random movement in some trials ✅ More training didn’t fix jitter or random offsets Best suited for tasks where exact precision isn’t critical. Not ready for manufacturing-grade accuracy without more tuning. Pi0 Fast ✅ Promised faster training, but results were underwhelming ✅ Training at 6 hours still showed low success rates ✅ Inference was slower than expected ✅ Not reliable for generalizing even slightly new tasks Currently too unstable for real-world deployment. Doesn’t live up to the “Fast” name yet. ACT (Baseline) ✅ 200MB model—lightweight, but limited ✅ Struggles with stacked objects or ambiguous scenes ✅ Success rates around 70% in best-case setups ✅ Can’t match newer models on precision or generalization Still a solid baseline, but clearly a generation behind in robustness. 🚨 Extra Notes All newer models share a common issue: •Inference takes longer than a frame (80 ms vs 33 ms), so robots “pause” between chunks. •This results in jittery movements, but not a dealbreaker unless tasks are time-sensitive. Language-conditioned tasks also fell short: after training on two labeled tasks, the model couldn’t generalize to a third unseen combination using only text prompts. ✅ The good news? These models adapt well to new robot arms with quick fine-tuning. ❌ The bad news? There’s still no plug-and-play solution for improving performance after deployment. Reinforcement learning or DAgger-style data collection during real-world operation may be the next big step, something many teams in robotics are actively working on.

People who've never set foot in a factory will never understand... I watched this three times. For decades, robotics simulation has promised faster deployment. But factories still had to build the real cell to see if it actually worked. Which meant expensive physical prototypes, weeks or months!!! of commissioning, constant surprises between simulation and reality That “sim-to-real gap” has quietly been one of the biggest bottlenecks in manufacturing automation. And it’s exactly what is changing. Today, ABB Robotics announced a partnership with NVIDIA Robotics aimed at closing this gap through the new RobotStudio HyperReality platform: Simulation and real robot behavior can match with near-perfect accuracy. That means manufacturers can design, test, and validate entire production lines before a single robot is installed on the factory floor. The implications are massive: • up to 80% faster setup and commissioning • roughly 40% lower costs by removing physical prototypes • about 50% faster time-to-market for new production lines In other words: Factories can move from trial-and-error engineering to software-driven manufacturing design. Production lines become something you build and validate digitally first. Then deploy physically once everything already works. For an industry that still measures deployment timelines in months or years, this is a major shift. It changes how automation projects are planned, how factories are designed, and how fast manufacturing can adapt to new products. Physical AI actually becomes deployable at an industrial scale. I’ll be at GTC in San Jose next week to see and talk to manufacturers and robotics engineers. If you are into manufacturing like I am, hit me up; my DMs are open!

A robotic ballet! 🩰 Coordinating multiple robot arms on a busy factory floor is notoriously complex. Each arm needs to move without colliding with its neighbors or the surrounding equipment, and today that planning is still mostly done by hand, a process that takes specialists hundreds of hours. Researchers at UCL, Google DeepMind, and Intrinsic have introduced RoboBallet, a new AI system that tackles this challenge head-on. Using a combination of graph neural networks and reinforcement learning, RoboBallet learns how to coordinate many robots in real time, generating smooth, collision-free motion plans in seconds instead of days. In tests, the system handled up to 40 tasks with eight arms working together, far beyond the limits of traditional planners. More importantly, it showed strong generalization: RoboBallet could adapt instantly to new factory layouts or recover if one robot failed, something previous methods struggled with. For manufacturers, this could mean faster deployment of automation, less downtime, and the ability to reconfigure production lines on the fly. Applications range from automotive welding to electronics assembly, and even large-scale construction. The current system focuses on reaching tasks, but the team plans to expand it to more complex operations like pick-and-place or painting. Here's the paper:

ANTHROPIC LEAKED A SETUP WHERE ONE FILE STARTS 7 LOOPS THAT TURN A PROMPT INTO A WORKING BUSINESS AI engineer drops in 1 file - the other 95% of the work closes automatically without them. spec → tasks → code → tests → docs → release → monitoring → back into the spec you don't write tickets anymore - you write the thing tickets get derived from, and Opus 5 cuts the spec into 6 tasks by itself. a task that fails its test comes back to itself, not to you - and runs a second lap without a single notification. 6 lanes of code run in parallel and none of them wait on you - the critic filters the diff before you ever open it. every new production bug becomes a permanent line in the eval set - the system never steps on it twice. monitoring isn't the end of the line, it's the start of the next spec - those back edges are what make it a graph instead of a conveyor. and one place is left where you say yes - release, 5 minutes instead of 5 hours. save this and paste it into Claude Code - and you get 7 loops that run without you ↓

I don’t know if we live in a Matrix, but I know for sure that robots will spend most of their lives in simulation. Let machines train machines. I’m excited to introduce DexMimicGen, a massive-scale synthetic data generator that enables a humanoid robot to learn complex skills from only a handful of human demonstrations. Yes, as few as 5! DexMimicGen addresses the biggest pain point in robotics: where do we get data? Unlike with LLMs, where vast amounts of texts are readily available, you cannot simply download motor control signals from the internet. So researchers teleoperate the robots to collect motion data via XR headsets. They have to repeat the same skill over and over and over again, because neural nets are data hungry. This is a very slow and uncomfortable process. At NVIDIA, we believe the majority of high-quality tokens for robot foundation models will come from simulation. What DexMimicGen does is to trade GPU compute time for human time. It takes one motion trajectory from human, and multiplies into 1000s of new trajectories. A robot brain trained on this augmented dataset will generalize far better in the real world. Think of DexMimicGen as a learning signal amplifier. It maps a small dataset to a large (de facto infinite) dataset, using physics simulation in the loop. In this way, we free humans from babysitting the bots all day. The future of robot data is generative. The future of the entire robot learning pipeline will also be generative. 🧵

Physical Intelligence (Physical Intelligence) is building a foundation model that can control any robot to do any task — what the team describes as the GPT moment for robotics. The company's cross-embodiment approach trains across many different robot platforms, and recent results show tasks being performed zero-shot that last year required hundreds of hours of data collection. In this episode of the Lightcone Podcast , co-founder Quan Vuong (Quan Vuong) sat down with Garry Tan, Jared Friedman, Diana, and Harj Taggar to talk about why robotics is finally ready for its scaling moment, how PI runs its models in the cloud rather than on-device, and the playbook for what Quan sees as a Cambrian explosion of vertical robotics companies. 00:00 — Robotics just got cheaper 00:41 — The GPT moment for robotics 02:24 — Why robots didn’t work before 05:30 — The breakthrough that changed everything 09:12 — The data problem 13:33 — Robots learning without data 15:05 — Robots folding laundry (for real) 22:18 — From engineering problem → ops problem 29:12 — The startup playbook 38:46 — Thousands of robotics startups are coming
