The agility determination to have their digits on the shop floor is paving the way for a more flexible and responsive supply chain🤖🦾

[Agility @agilityrobotics]

Digit’s been clocked in since 2023, streaming continuous operations.

[Chris Paxton @chris_j_paxton]

I think more people should be teaching their robots how to fall. incredibly important

cuRobo is now open source under Apache 2.0.
cuRoboV2 adds <1 ms GPU-native TSDF/ESDF semantic mapping, whole-body IK/MPC and trajectory optimization for humanoids, ~50 ms torque-limited planning.

SMP is such a brilliant solution to AMP's issues.🏆

AMP: Binary signal (real/fake). Fantastic for one to few styles, but you're always fighting the discriminator learning too fast resulting in zero gradient. It's also super intolerant of style imbalance in dataset.

SMP: Continuous signal (fancy diffusion noise trick to measure distance against learned plausible motions). Every single episode always provides valuable reward signal.

No signal collapse.
No co-evolution balance pain.
More forgiving of imbalanced motion types in dataset.

Wild.

Two Anthropic engineers, who built Claude just explained why you use less than 10% of actual Claude abilities.

This 24-minute talk will change how you use Claude Code forever.

I trained a grasping policy on objects of various shapes and sizes using the new mjlab feature and this really cool pivot grasp strategy emerges for large flat objects that are larger than the gripper aperture. So cool and beautiful to see!

[Sai Kishor Kothakota @manforrobots]

@kevin_zakka 🤩🤩🤩

[Davide Faconti @facontidavide]

This is the most exciting #PlotJuggler release in a long time: 3.17.0!

There are so many things I am exited about, but the most important one, is the integration with Mosaico (link below).
Now PJ can download data directly from the cloud.
