OMG, listen to the Mexican announcers on team USA's 3rd goal going completely off-script

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! "Oh my f*cking goodness" 😂

The next evolution of performance wear isn’t for humans alone.

As featured in Innovation Map, Persona AI is collaborating with Under Armour to explore how advanced performance materials can support the next generation of humanoid robotics.

The future of industrial work isn’t replacing humans. It’s building alongside them. This partnership focuses on applying Under Armour’s expertise in durability, mobility, and performance to robotic systems purpose-built for demanding environments—including shipbuilding, heavy manufacturing, logistics, and energy. Persona AI continues to push the boundaries of embodied intelligence with systems designed for real-world applications where safety, precision, and reliability matter most.

Croatia has stormed the Eurovision final with a historic anthem that denounces the Ottoman occupation and revives the ancient Christian tattoo tradition to protect young girls from rape

Performed entirely in Croatian, the song slams centuries of Islamic Turkish occupation of their lands and recalls how Catholic girls were tattooed with Christian motifs to stop them from being abducted, converted to Islam, and forced into sexual slavery

"That’s why many chose the grave, our mothers did not birth slaves”

Turkey is already attacking the group for performing the song

This is a project we’ve been working on for a long time, and today we’re incredibly excited to share ComFree-Sim — a GPU-parallelized ANALYTICAL contact physics engine built to be lightweight for faster, scalable, dense-contact simulation. It’s a drop-in alternative to MuJoCo (same API) that skips iterative solves to keep dense-contact compute flat. 👇

⚡ >2× higher throughput in dense-contact scenes vs. MuJoCo Warp
🎯 Comparable, highly tunable contact dynamics fidelity
🤖 Low-latency sim-predictive control for dexterous manipulation, humanoids, and more

Faster, learnable physics unlocks more for closed-loop physical intelligence.

⏳ ComFree Warp drops this weekend. ComFree Jax coming soon!

It was great to have @jinwanxin visiting us @IRVLUTD today!

Dr. Jin presented ComFree-Sim, a fast contact physics simulation framework, and shared exciting work it enables in in-hand manipulation and physics-aware perception. Very impressive work!

We (@lfcasas7 and I) handed out 21 NVIDIA #Jetson Orin Nano kits to students in my computer vision class this semester.

All teams showcased their live Jetson-powered demos in the classroom at the end of the course!
Here are a few sample projects👇

We @lfcasas7 have successfully deployed an in-hand manipulation policy to the LEAP hand following RL training in MuJoCo Playground.

Sim-to-real isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Policy design and real-world tuning matter. Working on improving the policy further.

Proud to have presented our poster at #TEROS2026!

“RobotFingerPrint: Unified Gripper Coordinate Space for Multi-Gripper Grasp Synthesis and Transfer”

Great work with @IRVLUTD at @UT_Dallas.

If you were there (or even if you missed it), feel free to reach out — always down to chat robotics, grasping, or new connections! 🤖

American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible

He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill

“This is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital:

- It totaled about $24,000
- My CT scan alone was $8,300
- Laboratory, 6,000
- IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total

And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478

because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this bill”

“But if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’

Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare.

So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.”

US Health Insurance is a scam
