🚨 BREAKING:

@BostonDynamics and @ToyotaResearch (TRI) have teamed up to advance humanoid robots, focusing on fundamental research rather than commercial goals.

Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot offers impressive physical capabilities, while TRI brings AI expertise to enhance robot learning.

Together, they aim to create "Large Behavior Models" (LBMs) for robots, similar to how large language models work for natural language. 🧬

The partnership will allow researchers to explore new skills and behaviors for humanoids, collecting data to train these advanced models. Both companies emphasize transparency and aim for long-term, meaningful results in robotics.

The pace of the humanoid race is ridiculous! 😮‍💨

Did you exercise today? Breaking Records! G1 Humanoid Robot Achieves a Jump Distance/Height Ratio of Over 1! 🥰
The G1 robot can perform a standing long jump of up to 1.4 meters, possibly the longest jump ever achieved by a humanoid robot of its size in the world, standing only 1.32 meters tall;
This video showcases some of the new features of the Go2 robot dog, which were updated a while ago but may still be unfamiliar to you. (Note: features vary by model and version)
We sincerely hope you find it interesting!
