Truly general-purpose robots must be able to navigate spaces they have never seen before. ⦿ Skild Brain enables end-to-end autonomous locomotion from raw vision and joint inputs, without mapping or pre-planning. ⦿ The model adapts in real time to new terrain such as stairs, gaps, and clutter, reacting instinctively like a human. There is no “stair mode” or “step-over mode”: the transition between walking behaviors is continuous and instinctive. ⦿ A single neural policy supports a wide range of locomotion tasks and can transfer across different robot platforms.

We’ve all seen humanoid robots doing backflips and dance routines for years. But if you ask them to climb a few stairs in the real world, they stumble! We took our robot on a walk around town to environments that it hadn’t seen before. Here’s how it works🧵⬇️

We asked Angus about the future of robotics and AI training. “I built an industrial-grade kinematic solver for 6 degrees of freedom motion, with full path planning and joint control." "You can stream AI model outputs into it, or run it like a traditional industrial robot." "The benefit of that is all of that information you can stream and record from those joints… you can use that as the training data." "Frankly, moving a robot with a lever is really crap data for training robots. But this gives you smooth, high-quality motion, without needing two robots.”

Figure says it has increased humanoid robot production from one robot per day to one robot per hour in just 120 days. The robots undergo intensive testing, including repeated squats and jogging movements. Figure also demonstrated the robot's ability to climb stairs and navigate complex terrain using vision-based control.

Climbing stairs is one of the biggest challenges for humanoid robots, but PNDBotics Adam is now doing it with ease. In a latest demo, the robot smoothly climbed real-world outdoor stairs without any support, even on uneven steps. The robot stays balanced and moves naturally after being trained to quickly adapt to different surfaces.

Vision-language models can control robots, but what if the prompt is too complex for the robot to follow directly? We developed a way to get robots to “think through” complex instructions, feedback, and interjections. We call it the Hierarchical Interactive Robot (Hi Robot).

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. Here's the GitHub: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

🎉🎉🎉Super excited to announce that we launched a joint lab of Embodied AI and Humanoid Robot between UniTree and BIGAI! I will direct the lab to foster the research in integrating the 3D scene understanding capability to Humanoid robot. Hope to see more generalist Humanoid robots in our home very soon😁

The World Model as NEO's Cognitive Core 1X has revealed a major AI development where the NEO humanoid can translate any natural language prompt into robotic action. It demonstrates this capability even for novel tasks, objects, and environments not found in its robot dataset. - the 1X World Model is trained on internet-scale human interaction videos and fine-tuned with robot data to ground its understanding in physics and in NEO's embodiment - from a simple voice or text prompt, the world model generates a visualization of future actions - a built-in inverse dynamics model then translates these into precise motor movements for NEO
