🤖What if a robot could perform a new task just from a natural language command, with zero demonstrations? Our new work, NovaFlow, makes it possible! We use pre-trained video generative model to create a video of the task, then translate it into a plan for real-world robot execution. 1/6... show more

The robot is learning several novel tasks instantly, after just ONE demonstration each... Instant Policy makes it possible: no extra training, no weight updates, just pure in-context learning. It just got accepted at ICLR 2025, and it’s changing how robots learn. With just a single demo, a robot can pick up a new task and start performing it right away. Why this is a big deal: ✅ Learns tasks instantly with just one or a few demonstrations ✅ Improves over time as more demonstrations are given ✅ Uses simulation-based training with “pseudo-demonstrations” for scalability ✅ Can transfer skills across different robots and even follow language-defined tasks It brings in-context learning to robotics, opening up new possibilities for flexible, real-world automation. You can try it yourself: code and weights are available at • • • • Thank you to Edward Johns, Director of the Robot Learning Lab at Imperial College for sharing their work! 🙏

Humanoid robotics is entering a new phase： Xiaomi Robotics 0 (XR-0) explores learning manipulation directly from large-scale human videos — aligning video understanding with robot embodiment to generate executable actions. Watch humans->learn representations ->map to robot control. Robot data is scarce. Internet video is not. If video pretraining transfers reliably into embodied control, the scaling law of robotics changes. Deployment speed becomes a function of model alignment, not just hardware iteration. We’re moving from engineered skills to learned behavior. That’s a structural shift. project:

In my first week at Generalist, I trained a robot to pour liquids using GEN-1 🤖💧 I wanted to challenge the robot with a non-rigid manipulation task, so liquid felt like the perfect choice. The task involved: - unscrewing the bottle cap - pouring liquid into espresso glasses - rebalancing uneven pours Best of all, the robot was able to complete the task fully autonomously 3 times in a row (out of 3)! Pour-fect 😉 Excited for the journey ahead and grateful to be building alongside such an incredible team!

Robots might learn better from video than from language! 📼 Most Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models learn what to do from text, but still struggle with how things move in the real world. That makes them data-hungry and slow to train. mimic video takes a different route. Instead of grounding robot control in text, it grounds it in video, using large pre-trained video models that already capture physical motion and dynamics. The idea is straightforward: let the video model handle “what will happen next,” and let a smaller control model focus only on turning that visual plan into robot actions. The result is big gains in practice. Robots trained this way need 10× less data, converge twice as fast, and perform better on both simulated benchmarks and real bimanual manipulation tasks. If robots can “imagine” motion using video, control becomes a much simpler problem. Shoutout to Jonas Pai, Liam Achenbach, Oier Mees, Elvis Nava and the rest of the team!

A humanoid robot policy trained solely on synthetic data generated by a world model. Research Scientist Joel Jang presents NVIDIA's DreamGen pipeline: ⦿ Post-train the world model Cosmos-Predict2 with a small set of real teleoperation demos. ⦿ Prompt the world model to generate synthetic video data with verbs and scenarios not used in the world model’s post-training. ⦿ Auto-label synthetic video data with action sequences. ⦿ Train robot policies using only synthetic data. That's it. Deploy zero-shot to a real humanoid robot.

The cool thing about talking with Bernt is that he isn’t just a robotics CEO, he’s a deep AI thinker who’s been obsessed with this for decades. It's obvious to me that this is his life's purpose. While most robotic labs are chasing narrow, pre-programmed behaviors, 1X built a dynamics-first world model trained on video + robot sensors. It lets NEO generalize to completely new tasks out of the box, and get smarter through every failure - the same way humans do. Bernt says NEO doesn’t need to have seen every chore. It needs a World Model with enough human experience to imagine what should happen, a body dexterous enough to attempt it, and a real-world feedback loop sharp enough to correct it. That’s how we go from task automation to general-purpose labor.

Boston Dynamics has demonstrated its new Atlas humanoid robot lifting and carrying a 50-pound fridge. The robot uses its whole body to balance and move the heavy object in a natural, human-like way. Before doing it in the real world, Atlas practiced the task for millions of hours in a virtual simulation.

What if robots could learn real-world tasks from your perspective… without ever touching a robot? This is a system that trains robot policies using nothing but human-first, egocentric video data from smart glasses. No robots, no teleop, no sensors, just humans doing real tasks in the real world. Why it matters ✅ Learns robot policies from 20 minutes of human video; zero robot demos ✅ Generalizes to new objects, views, and even robot morphologies ✅ Uses 3D points for interpretable, spatially grounded learning ✅ Deploys directly to real-world robots with strong zero-shot success Thank you, Vincent Liu, for sharing!!!
