This Spot rolls a 15 kg tire heavier than its arm can lift. 🛞

RAI Institute took it out of the lab.

→ Sees the tire with its own depth cameras, no mocap
→ Knock it over mid-roll, it stands it up
→ Skatepark, basketball court, garage

Show this robot a task once. It learns it instantly. 🤖

Machenta just came out of stealth with a $40M seed.

→ One demo, no further training
→ Trained entirely in simulation, zero real-world data
→ Same model runs on six different robots

Google's new AI builds worlds you can steer live. 🌐

It's Genie 4, from Google DeepMind.

→ Prompt mid-scene to change the weather or add people
→ Makes its own sound: ambient, music, dialogue
→ Testers now, Google AI Ultra soon

A drone chasing a runner through the woods with no GPS and no map 🌲

LiDAR-inertial odometry tracks its own position
Every scan feeds a live 3D occupancy grid
Runner ducks behind a tree? It predicts where they went
All of it computed onboard

OpenAI's new model built a 3D tram from one photo, running the 3D app itself. 🚋

It's GPT-6.1 Terra.

→ Matches GPT-6 Astra on agent tasks at 1/10 the price per token
→ Over 3x faster than Astra and Sol
→ Live now in ChatGPT and Codex, paid plans

Figure went from a humanoid on a safety tether to a wall of robots making beds. 🛏️

Brett Adcock just put all 3 generations of Figure's humanoids in one clip.

Watch the ending: a grid of robots doing chores in homes.

We've all typed --dangerously-skip-permissions. 😬

Give your agent a box. It's called tryboxi.

→ One microVM per agent, on your Mac
→ Claude Code, Codex, Cursor
→ Ready in 20 to 50 ms
→ Secrets never enter the VM
→ Free and open source

Block just built a voice AI that never read a single word. 🎙️

Dessa learned to talk only by listening to people.

→ No text, no pretrained models
→ Listens and talks at the same time
→ Runs locally on a MacBook Pro M4 Max

A humanoid riding on the end of an industrial robot arm. 🏗️

LimX Dynamics mounted TRON 2's upper body on a giant arm. The arm brings reach, TRON 2 does the hand work.

Firing a nail gun, building formwork, running two drills at once.

This bee started as a yellow cube in Blender. 🐝

Higgsfield blocked out the scene, then Seedance 2.5 rendered it in native 4K.

Top: the final video.
Bottom: the blockout it followed.

Film a robot on your phone. An AI agent builds the sim. 📱

It's RoboSimStudio, from UC Berkeley and NVIDIA.

→ Claude or Codex builds the twin in about an hour
→ Models sponges, cables and cloth
→ Train in sim, run on the real robot

This robot runs its whole conversation on a 4GB model. 🤖

NVIDIA just released Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B, a small open model.

→ Bolt handles chat and tool use
→ NVIDIA Cosmos handles vision
→ Both run locally on a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB

This humanoid climbs ladders and picks its own holds. 🧗

ETH Zurich taught it where to make contact with just 13.2 minutes of human motion.

→ One policy for every skill
→ Plans contacts from LiDAR and a goal
→ Falls, gets up, keeps going

Your coding agent can now use your whole computer. 🖱️

Cursor just shipped Computer Use.

→ Clicks and types in any app, not just the browser
→ Drives the iOS Simulator to test what it built
→ Kicks in on its own when a task needs it

These robot hands close in about 80 milliseconds. 🥚

Meet the tendon-driven hands on RAI Institute's AthenaZero.

→ Heavy tools or fragile eggs
→ 11 sensors per fingertip and palm
→ Driven by motors in the torso

This humanoid reads your hands. No voice commands. 🤝

XPeng's IRON shakes hands, bumps fists and high-fives in real time.

Switch to a high-five mid-handshake and it adjusts on the fly.

Ideogram just dropped its first vector model. ✏️

Type a prompt, get a clean, editable SVG.

→ Smooth gradients, sharp typography
→ Turn any image into a vector
→ Swap the palette, the gradients follow
→ Live in Ideogram and the API

Baymax isn't just a kids' movie anymore. This humanoid feels hugs 🎈

The skin is an inflatable Baymax costume.

Inside, 116 ToF sensors watch the fabric at 20 Hz.

An MLP predicts contact-free skin from joint angles. Dents = contact.

Jensen Huang got down on one knee for robot ducks. 🦆

Meet Pollen Robotics' Microducks, on stage at his NVIDIA keynote.

25 cm tall, 15 motors, $399.

They walk, roller skate and get up after falls. Skills are trained in simulation.

Unitree's H2-X jumps off a 4 meter platform and lands it 🤖

It also kicks and punches through junked cars. Unitree says it's real footage, no speed-up.

Later it lifts a car to free a trapped dummy.

Claimed standing endurance: about 8 hours.
