Biggest build I’ve taken on in a while just landed on the desk 🤖🦆 Open Duck Mini V2, an open source mini animatron inspired by the Disney Imagineers’ BDX droid. 14 Feetech servos, a Pi Zero 2W brain, and a sim2real RL policy doing the walking. Pretty much the full Physical AI stack in one tiny waddling package. Full build coming on YouTube soon! Huge thanks to tnkr for sending the kit. Project repo and docs: Let’s get Back To Engineering! #robotics #physicalAI #openduck

You can build your 3D models directly from a prompt into Claude code. All thanks to this beautiful python project, build123 a parametric modeling framework for 2D and 3D CAD. It is built on the Open Cascade geometric kernel and it is suitable for 3D printing.

Don't let the tiny duck fool you… there's a serious robot hiding inside. Meet Microduck from Pollen Robotics. It is a compact biped robot packed with 15 motors, a camera, ToF LiDAR, IMUs, microphones, a speaker and an articulated beak. And the best part? The software is open source. You can create behaviors, train policies in simulation and bring them to the real robot. A tiny duck learning to walk, crouch, grasp objects and recover from falls? That's not just cute. That's a pretty fun robotics platform.

Another win for open-source robotics! 🔥 Hugging Face just released a fully open-source humanoid robot, and you can build one for $2,500. I'm a huge advocate of open-source in robotics space. Why? Robotics is too hard to solve alone. So lowering the entry point is crucial. Also, ROS proved open ecosystems create lasting industry standards. So let's have a look at the new member of humanoids family! LeRobot Humanoid is a 3D-printed, bipedal humanoid platform designed for real robot learning experiments. It's a complete and, buildable robot Anddddd yes, it's a full stack release: → Hardware files, bill of materials and full assembly documentation → Simulation assets and training environments → Runtime tools for calibration and real-world control → Sim-to-real identification pipeline When a part breaks, reprint it. When a design choice doesn't work, modify it and test again. The whole point is fast iteration on real hardware, not treating the robot as a fixed artefact. The timing is not a coincidence. As foundation models for robotics mature, the field desperately needs open physical platforms to train, validate and deploy them on. clem 🤗 LET'S GO!!! Build it here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

btw, for anyone that needs to hear it the 3D printed 6+1DoF arm files are open source now. you can literally print this stiff beast on your bambu p1s, zero milling involved!! super stiff and smooth for precise teleoperation and deploying policies.

This may seem "too good to be true", but it isn't AI, fake, or BS. The creator, "function.3d", is known for specializing in open-source recycling projects. The machine you see in the video is likely the PETALOT, a high-quality, open-source filament recycler designed by Function 3D. You can even find the technical CAD files and assembly guides on GitHub if you want to build one yourself.

🤖 Three Japanese innovators just proved that the future of robotics can be printed — not assembled. 🇯🇵✨ I find this incredible. Japan has always led the world in robotics, but this breakthrough feels different — more creative, more human. A team of three brilliant minds has built a fully functional 3D-printed robotic system, rethinking everything from the gears to the frame. The result? Robots that are lighter, faster to produce, and easier to customize than ever before. What fascinates me is how this blends engineering and imagination — where design isn’t constrained by parts, but shaped by possibilities. This could change how we build robots, how we teach automation, and how quickly we bring new ideas to life. Would you trust a 3D-printed robot to work alongside you? #AI #Innovation #Technology #Robotics #3DPrinting #Automation #FutureOfWork #Engineering

A GUY PUT GPT-LEVEL AI INSIDE A 3D PRINTED ROBOT AND RELEASED THE ENTIRE THING FOR FREE Most people look at a 3D printer and see plastic toys This guy printed a robot with expressive eyes, object tracking, image recognition, support for ChatGPT, Qwen and offline models, then uploaded the STL files, code and hardware designs for anyone to build themselves The interesting part isn't the robot It's how fast the gap between "I have an idea" and "I built a working product" is disappearing A few years ago this required a team of engineers Now one person with a printer, open-source software and enough curiosity can build something that looks like it came from a robotics startup We're getting very close to a world where manufacturing, AI and robotics stop being separate industries and start becoming the same thing

NVIDIA just gave every robotics beginner a cheat code. You don’t need expensive hardware. You don’t need to burn motors. You don’t need to break prototypes. You can skip all of that. Because you can build the entire robot… virtually. With Isaac Sim, you design everything in simulation: Chassis. Wheels. Joints. All running on real physics. You add sensors—RGB cameras, 2D LiDAR—so your robot can actually see. You wire up control systems using ROS 2 and OmniGraph. You stream live sensor data straight into RViz. And suddenly… You’re not guessing anymore. You’re thinking like a robot. That’s the real shift. Simulation isn’t just practice. It’s leverage. You iterate faster. You break nothing. You ship something that actually works—before touching the real world. If you’re trying to get into robotics or physical AI… This isn’t optional. This is the new starting line.

NAVIAI-I3, a more robust humanoid robot, was launched by the Zhejiang Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center. Standing 1.8 meters tall, it can run like a human and walk on various terrains. This humanoid robot appears to be primarily designed for specialized industrial tasks, such as security patrols in underground parking lots. They previously launched the lightweight bipedal NVAI-2 and a wheeled humanoid robot. The bipedal robot is used in manufacturing operations, while the wheeled humanoid robot is used for unstructured, flexible tasks such as warehouse sorting, supermarket shelving, and office cleaning. We filmed this demonstration at the World Robot Conference; you can see it in the comments section.
