I won 2nd place at my first robotics hackathon! 🤖

I built a robot that plays beer pong.

Thank you so much to @viamrobotics and @MongoDB for sponsoring. Big shoutout to my teammates Saurabh and @Manan11342072. This truly was a unique experience. 🔥🦾

[Robotico @roboticomarket]

Agility Robotics is going public.

The Digit bipedal humanoid maker @agilityrobotics announced a $2.5B SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, raising over $600M and making it the first Western humanoid pure-play on public markets under ticker AGLT.

[Robotics Center of Silicon Valley @RoboticsCtr]

Robot Hackathon with @MongoDB and @viamrobotics at Robotics Center — Day 1.

Builders are coding, testing, and debugging on real robot arms.

The room is busy building. Demos tomorrow.

This was fun!

[Manan @Manan11342072]

built a robot that plays beer pong in under 48 hrs

casualties: my laptop (robot yeeted it, screen is gone, rip)

Robo-Pong 🥈 at the @viamrobotics x @MongoDB hackathon

worth it. the arm ate. we did not sleep.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wants a humanoid that can operate in a world designed for people, though the CEO says a robot 'brain' is a much bigger challenge. https://t.co/zClTJol2xx

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

Gemini 4 Argon taught a robot to play cornhole just by watching a video.

It mapped the physics, coded its own simulation, and taught @Apptronik's Apollo humanoid to sink 7 throws in a row.

UIUC researchers introduced InterEvolve, allowing humanoid robots to master unseen manipulation tasks during test time.

When bipedal humanoids encounter unfamiliar objects or physical obstacles, fixed controllers typically fail and require weeks of retraining. InterEvolve leverages existing motor skills and iteratively updates reward programs on the fly through self-guided trial and error, completing complex physical tasks without offline retraining.

Chimelong Spaceship Park is now on my bucket list

[AGIBOT @AGIBOTofficial]

300+ robots. One resort. Multiple real-world roles.

AGIBOT and Chimelong Group have officially launched a large-scale robot deployment at Chimelong in Zhuhai, China.

Across the resort, robots are being introduced for performances, AI education, visitor guidance, companionship and hotel services.

The launch also coincides with another milestone: AGIBOT’s 20,000th humanoid robot, an A3 Ultra, rolled off the production line and was delivered to Chimelong.

Built at scale. Now deployed at scale.

F.02 Decommission

[Rohan Gudipaty @RohanGudipaty]

I remember dreaming about having a robot in my house that could do all my chores, help with homework, etc. Give it a few years and we’ll be so close to that becoming a reality

[Dyna Robotics @DynaRobotics]

We are releasing Dyna-2.1, the first Physical Agent that achieves reliable super long-horizon whole-body autonomy. It combines our brand-new semi-humanoid hardware with an agentic system built around Dyna-2 to handle ultra-long real-world workflows.

Here is an uncut footage of Dyna-2.1 completing an entire hour-long laundry room workflow, just like a human does.

If you met the version of yourself who is 20 years older than you, what would make you truly proud of that person?

Argentina just beat Spain at the 2026 World Cup final, 3-2.

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2.

Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication.

We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating.

@connor1 @ycombinator Can I have a referral?

KSI leaving the sidemen is insane to me icl. Sidemen was my childhood and beyond. They’ve shown the world that true, genuine connections and real intention ultimately builds the best brands, better than anything else imho
