Humanoid robots can walk. They still can’t work.
That’s why @KyberLabsRobots is going after the hardest problem in robotics: dexterous manipulation.
If robots can’t use their hands, nothing else matters.
This is what unlocks the factory of the future.
Demo showing our system doing autonomous assembly of a part! What else should we have it do?
And if you want a hand, wait list is open here!

@Icarus_Robotics is sending robots to the ISS in 2027 to work alongside astronauts.
Co-Founder @j_palmer00's pov: the more robots we send to space, the more humans we can send too.
Should robots build out space so humans can follow?
Detroit has always been defined by motion, from building the automobile industry and highways to global manufacturing.
At Michigan Central and @Newlab, that legacy is evolving upward as drones, digital airways and real-time data create a new era of mobility.

Astronauts do work no one else can. But it costs $130K/hour to keep them in orbit, and some of that time is spent on...chores.
So two Newlab founders asked a simple question: what if robots did that?
Now @Icarus_Robotics is building the first robotic labor force for space.
Last week, 400+ founders, investors, and partners joined us for Critical Mass: Vol. III, Bangers in Detroit.
Big thanks to @noxmetals, blueflite, @ObservableSpace, @ShandokaCycles, Ecosphere Organics, @Aerialoop_com, Cambrian Robotics, ThermoVerse & https://t.co/VPzAbBIfdh.
Join us tomorrow for Critical Mass Volume Two: Stay Grounded, cohosted by @Techweek_ and @a16z.

Newlab BK hosted "Space Ships & Space Chips", an event for space tech enthusiasts to explore opportunities in the space domain—featuring founder stories, an art exhibit by @azelinskie, & more!
Thank you to our co-hosts @AIN_ventures, @EmpireSpaceNY + @AlumniVentures. 🚀
Heading to #sxsw2025? Catch up w/ us at the conference on 3/8 for a session on innovation hubs & human-centered design feat. Kristine Colosimo, Newlab’s VP of Public Affairs: https://t.co/GpFdC05nPH
We’ll also be at 🇨🇦 House on 3/10 + Midwest House on 3/11 (no badge required)!
Newlab x #FMF Startup Showcase:
Meet @CarbonOrigins & @Membrion, 2 startups that are building tech that increase mining efficiency & sustainability through robotics and wastewater desalination, respectively.
Check out their tech in action below 🔽
A snapshot from the @wearevorboss x @fernhay micromobility-focused showcase at Newlab BK, where they demonstrated how they can transform last-mile delivery using 0-emission parcel delivery solutions.
