Six months after an initial contract worth 71 million, the contract ceiling has quadrupled: robots, drones and AI are set to reduce the time taken to inspect a ship from several months to just a few days.
Without ever touching the robot, an attacker can crush or release an object by sticking on a thin magnet label. Success rate: over 95%.
Spun out of the University of Michigan, the start-up uses AI agents and Nvidia’s Cosmos simulator to automatically generate edge cases. It is already profitable thanks to autonomous driving.
Founded by former leaders of Nvidia’s GR00T project, Dream Labs is launching Dream-1, a model trained on human videos that can control robotic arms from different manufacturers without the need for retraining.
The agreement values Mitsubishi Electric’s automotive division at 320 billion yen; the two groups are focusing on electrification, autonomous driving and software-defined vehicles.
In-house AI models, end-to-end autonomous driving, future robotaxis with Uber and a 31 per cent stake in Mind Robotics: RJ Scaringe is shaping Rivian into a company that also aspires to be a technology provider.
Trained on 130 teleoperated demonstrations, an ACT policy runs at 15 Hz on a Jetson AGX Orin to detach the milling cutters without damaging them. The data, weights and code are published as open source.
OpenAI will “definitely” build a humanoid, according to its CEO, who prioritises the “brain” over the body. There are 27 vacancies in robotics, including roles involving in-house actuators.
The Canadian start-up has secured its first major US property developer: D.R. Horton will have more than 1,250 homes built via its ‘factory-to-home’ scheme, where AI translates plans into instructions for robots.
Rather than assessing an approach on the basis of a brief trial, the method predicts its long-term effectiveness. Across 108 simulated scenarios, it reduces the number of failed recoveries by 27.8 points.
The judges ruled that it could not be assumed that all buyers had seen the same misleading statement on Tesla’s website: the claimants will have to bring their cases individually.
Through its regulatory sandbox, Seoul is exempting IGRIS-A robots from the restrictions imposed on industrial machinery whilst they undergo trials at four factories and construction sites.
Known for its robot waiters, the Chinese company Pudu showcased the D7 in Berlin – a semi-humanoid capable of lifting 20 kg – and the D5-W, a quadruped capable of rolling or walking.
The method converts first-person RGB video footage into vision-language-action training data, achieving a 45-point improvement in performance on tasks not covered by robotic demonstrations.
The vehicles are starting by mapping the city whilst being driven manually. However, Ontario’s trial framework expires in October 2027 and there are as yet no regulations in place for a commercial service.
This agent-based framework extracts spatial memory and the way people approach objects from passive videos. On a real mobile manipulator, it succeeds in 80 per cent of trials where other methods fail.
Zhejiang University trains its vision-language-action models on the transition between the current and future states of the scene, at no additional cost at runtime.
Hod Lipson’s team separates the selection of the target – handled by a vision-language model – from eye movement, which is generated by a Transformer-VAE trained on human recordings.
Chinese firm UBTech is set to trial its humanoid robots in FAW-Volkswagen’s factory logistics operations and has partnered with Xiamen C&D for distribution; LDRobot has secured a network of 1,400 European resellers.
This continuous reinforcement learning framework transfers a light-weight agent and a light-weight critic from one assembly task to the next, whilst retaining almost all the knowledge gained from previous tasks.
