Carbon made a pelican demo so you don't have to 😅
fun test of long-horizon coding and the new /swarm feature in Google @Antigravity.
Builder and critic subagents ran iterative loops across Blender and Three.js - checking their own renders to build a playable 3D game of a pelican biking around our Mountain View campus.
Gemini 4 Carbon: Built a playable 3D V12 hypercar coastal racing game in a single HTML file with Three.js
Sound ON: 9,250 RPM V12 wail, dual-clutch shift barks, stone sea-tunnel reverb, smoky hairpin drifts & 340 km/h viaduct overtakes at 60fps.
Understanding how the Unitree G1 is designed, engineered, and manufactured starts with examining how the product is built.
At Munro & Associates, we recently completed a full physical teardown and engineering assessment of the Unitree G1, examining its architecture, actuators, electronics, materials, and structural systems.
By tracing the product down to its individual components and manufacturing processes, we built a clearer picture of how the G1 is designed, assembled, and manufactured.
The assessment connects physical teardown findings to engineering and manufacturing analysis, including a detailed production-cost model that accounts for components, materials, processing, and assembly. This provides insight into the decisions that shape product cost, complexity, and manufacturability.
For organizations developing humanoid robots, evaluating competitive platforms, or looking to improve product cost and manufacturability, Munro provides the engineering analysis to support those decisions.

🚨 BREAKING: SpaceX just locked up 100+ GW of solar cell manufacturing equipment from German toolmaker SINGULUS to build STARMIND AI satellites
The first turnkey heterojunction line arrives in Bastrop, Texas in H1 2027, running wet chemistry, vacuum coating and thermal processing under one roof.
Elon Musk says most of the mass of a Starmind satellite is solar panels, meaning the solar cell factory is the satellite factory.
100 GW is enough solar for 400,000 Starmind sats
“Time to make the mind of a sentient sun.”
This mini robot has 7 skills and 7 separate neural networks that swap on the fly.
Walking, getting up after a fall, tricks: every skill is its own policy. Any of them can take over the robot at any moment.
The development loop has four steps: train in simulation, deploy to the robot, refine the simulation from real-world failures, publish. A finished policy can be published for other owners to download, the way Hugging Face made sharing trained models routine.
Sitting and standing can be triggered with a laser dot, without a single line of code.
One honest note: camera resolution, LiDAR range and radio versions are, according to Pollen, not final yet, so the spec sheet may change.
This might be one of the most impressive low-cost humanoid robots I've seen so far
Meet BRIDGE an open-source humanoid developed by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and their collaborators.
The robot costs around $1,500 to build yet it can perform backflips dance,
balance on one leg and reproduce complex human movements.
Robot Capabilities as Probabilistic Inference over Next Token Prediction
We are doing a demo at CoRL debuting PsiBorg: an 8B universally promptable robot model for open-world manipulation!
One model works simultaneously as a policy, a simulator, and a progress tracker. It is trained from scratch, developed fully in-house at #Stanford, not a VLA or WAM, and (tries to) work with new objects and new goal images you throw at it!
Come try it at #CoRL2026!
🕛 Mon Nov 9 · 12–6:30 PM CST
🕙 Tue Nov 10 · 10 AM–6:30 PM CST

We are pleased to announce Cartwheel Control!
Our hardware-agnostic approach to training whole-body motor control policies from large-scale kinematic motion.
To kick it off, we’re releasing three open motion-tracking policies for humanoid robots:
Unitree G1
@menloresearch Azimov
@RoboParty_DEV RP1
All free to download on Hugging Face.
Testing 3d scanning with this ~$50 lidar sensor (ST VL53L9CX) attached to an iPhone.
Works pretty well for quick indoor scans using just ARKit poses.
