After more than a month of development, we're open-sourcing our @UnitreeRobotics Go2 navigation stack.
Today, we're releasing our full ROS 2 workspace for Unitree Go2 on @github and @huggingface.
It includes:
• SLAM Toolbox + Nav2 navigation
• Low-level Unitree Go2 control
• Vision-Language-Action (VLA) integration
• Support for both Qwen2.5-VL and NaVILA
We believe robotics progresses faster when foundational software is shared. Instead of rebuilding the same navigation and control stack, researchers and engineers can focus on what truly matters - training, evaluating, and advancing autonomous robot intelligence.
We hope this serves as a practical foundation for anyone building embodied AI on Unitree Go2.

Robinhood Chain is integrating Virtuals’ AI agent infrastructure from day one, giving users access to launch, fund, own, and use agents in tokenized markets.
We started ACF (Automated Capital Formation) to solve the two things builders struggle with most: funding and distribution.
Today @StrikeRobot_ai got into the @awscloud Global Startup Program, meeting its institutional-funding requirement with capital raised through ACF alone.
For robotics especially, this matters. Hardware timelines don't fit the traditional funding path. ACF gives these builders capital tied to traction and the distribution doors that come with it. Big congratulations to the Strike Robot team.
We've raised over $5.5M through ACF for builders so far, from agents to robotics. For builders interested in how the ACF mechanism works, more below.
VEX has entered the Chronos era. VEX 0.2 Chronos 🟦
biggest upgrade yet, rebuilt for faster execution, longer-running missions, and greater reliability.
Chronos moves from intent to execution with fewer wasted steps, keeps long-running missions on track, and remains reliable when providers fail or transaction states become uncertain.
Less waiting.
Zero broken execution loops.
More work completed autonomously.
VEX Economy engine.
This is VEX at machine speed live on @RobinhoodApp , @solana , @arbitrum and every chain.
Now available on Windows, Mac, Linux
We are excited to share that our robotics division has become the largest source of Unitree G1 data outside of China, with an average of 200 hours of humanoid teleoperation data per week.

This Week in Virtuals: 47.3% of All Agentic Transactions on Base Run Through Virtuals Protocol
Surpassed $250M+ agent volume on @RobinhoodCrypto Chain and nearly half of Base's agentic activity is running on Virtuals Protocol.
Here's what shipped:
VIRTUALS
🟩 Partnered with @robinscanio to set the standard for agent transparency on Robinhood Chain: vesting, unlocks, team wallets, and roadmap, all in one view.
🟩 Shared its robotics thesis live on @MadSocietyTV's S1 with RoboStrategy on why agents are moving into the physical world.
🟩 @DonJohnsonSays previewed what's next for Virtuals on the Base Builder Call, from agent economy numbers to the push into embodied AI
ECOSYSTEM
🟩 BitTorrent for AI inference: HALO by @wardenprotocol is live on Virtuals. Serve a model, get paid per prompt in USDC, settled onchain in ~2s.
🟩 @StrikeRobot_ai open-sourced its full @UnitreeRobotics Go2 navigation stack: SLAM + Nav2, Vision-Language-Action integration, running on Qualcomm Edge for on-device autonomy.
🟩 @bleeep_xyz launched Agent Beta: agent decisions committed onchain before outcomes, with @RobinhoodCrypto as primary anchoring chain and @arbitrum next.
🟩 @ProjectVEXai grew 10x in a week: VEX agents scan Robinhood Chain trenches 24/7, and Economy Engine v1 ties that activity to $VEX.
🟩 @KarmaWallet gave $KARMA utility: hold $10 and up to 90% of trading fees return via open-market buybacks. Volume up 290% in 30 days.
🟩 @grid_arena launched Season Zero: 25M $GRID over 43 days, 70% by volume, 30% to top performers.
🟩 @WizzHQ shipped its first week on Robinhood Chain: 2,000+ users, Wallet Finder scanning 10,000 Polymarket wallets, plus Claude for Startups and @nvidia Inception.
🟩 @insidersdotbot brought trading to the timeline: tag it under any news post and it analyzes and executes the trade in your feed.
🟩 @myrad_hq burned 7,000,000 $MYRAD, 0.7% of supply, at 18,000+ users, and made $MYRAD buyable by card through @QwertiAI.
🟩 @ethy_agent executed a 300,000 $ETHY buyback funded entirely by product revenue, with users up 30x since launch.
🟩 @ArAIstotle marked one year of $FACY: 658% oversubscribed at Genesis, every roadmap phase shipped, 22,761 agent-to-agent verifications in February alone.
🟩 @OpenGradient shipped Seedance 2.5: 30-second clips from one prompt with native audio. 2 billion tokens now processed, all sealed in hardware enclaves.
🟩 @vimenprotocol tripled its universe to 30 tokenized equities, paid its first onchain dividends, and added one-click index minting.
🟩 @vantis_ai published its first financial statement, fully verifiable onchain: $14.3K in fees, 9.3M $VANTIS bought back, plus a card that burns with use.
🟩 @wrkrdev turned capital formation into revenue: 15 pre-production seats generating 3,000 USDT MRR via x402, 10% of receipts to top $WRKR wallets.
🟩 @reppo hit 134 active Orquestra nodes, crossed 700M in locked $REPPO trading volume, secured enterprise contracts, and opened NFT claims.
🟩 @officialbunnyos went Telegram-native at @bunnyagentbot after processing 50M+ tokens in 25 days. Telegram users already run 3x web.
🟩 @AgentiqAI showcased full-stack apps built end-to-end on its autonomous engineering platform, every component tested before deployment on Robinhood Chain.
