Behavioral cloning mystery

https://t.co/VqxzvcfGSx

I wrote a new blog post about "mysteries" in behavioral cloning that appear with real-world robot data (e.g., overfitting is "good"). I also tried to demystify them and shared my thoughts!

[Moritz Schneider @_schneimo]

@aurel_arnold Nice start! Did you train the value also similar to the RECAP paper using the outcome of the failure and success data only or did you do it differently?

Action chunking is a critical component in virtually all modern approaches to imitation learning for robotics.

But why is it so critical, and do we really need action chunking? Check out our latest work to find out! (1/n)

Revenue stonks among robotics companies - finally! 📈

Agile Robots doubling revenue to €600M this year!

German robotics company Agile Robots hit €300 million ($346M) in revenue last year and expects to double that to €600 million in 2026.

Their CEO, Zhaopeng Chen told the Wall Street Journal they've already signed customer contracts backing those numbers. Profitability within 2-3 years.

Founded in Munich in 2018, Agile Robots raised $1.5 billion from SoftBank and others. They're not just an AI company, because they own the manufacturing stack, and that's the real difference.

They've bought over a dozen companies. thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering. Idealworks. Franka Robotics, BÄR Automation GmbH, many of them ;)

10-15% of new business this year comes through acquisitions. They're acquiring capability, customer bases, manufacturing expertise.

Recently partnered with Google DeepMind to integrate Gemini Robotics into their systems. AI foundation models plus industrial automation hardware in one package.

Oh boy, it hits hard for me to start writing about doubling the revenue numbers in the robotics space.

WHAT A TIME TO BE A ROBOTICS GUY! 😮‍💨

@Zergylord Congrats. Really nice to finally see what you created using our robots.

[Moritz Schneider @_schneimo]

I am really excited to finally see what DeepMind creates using our robots.
Looking forward to see more results and experiments!

3D Scene Graphs are becoming popular for robot navigation, manipulation & LLM-based scene reasoning.
But what is a 3DSG, how are they built, and what's still missing? Read our survey for the answers!

World-Action Models (WAMs) have become the second dominant recipe for robot foundation models, next to classical VLAs.

So where do they come from, and how do they compare vs VLAs?

I wrote an small overview of the WAM landscape, with some personal takes:

Have you seen Agile Robots’ latest humanoid robot? 🤖

Hear from Laurenz von Czettritz as he introduces Agile ONE, a coworker on the factory floor, and explains how NVIDIA technology powers its advanced capabilities.

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Excited to partner with Agile Robots! Looking forward to seeing our models being deployed through Agile Robots incredible platform to help solve some of the most complex industrial challenges

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

Google DeepMind 🤝 Agile Robots

Our new research partnership will integrate the Gemini foundation models with their hardware to help build the next generation of more helpful and useful robots.

NVIDIA GTC 2026 wrapped up after an inspiring week at the intersection of AI & robotics. With Agile Robots, we showcased FR3 Duo running an assembly task with @nvidia's GR00T N1.6 model—no scripting, real-time perception to motion.

A standout moment: Jensen Huang signing the Agile ONE humanoid.

@jparkerholder Back then, AlphaGo was the reason why I did RL in my bachelors thesis. Did not stop since then. :)

[Moritz Schneider @_schneimo]

@randall_balestr Not specific to DINO-WM because that was a method released after our paper but we had similar experiences with pre-trained representations and MBRL. See https://t.co/JMOjuGBWz8.

Excited to introduce Dreamer 4, an agent that learns to solve complex control tasks entirely inside of its scalable world model! 🌎🤖

Dreamer 4 pushes the frontier of world model accuracy, speed, and learning complex tasks from offline datasets.

The 🔥Hype🔥 is real 🤩 #OpenHype got accepted at #NeurIPS2025

TL;DR: We encode CLIP features in a hyperbolic space, where object hierarchies are naturally encoded along geodesic paths, making it easy to reason about parts of objects in 3D.
