Agility Robotics, the company I cofounded out of my robotics lab at Oregon State University in 2015, has just launched Digit 5. It’s designed to be the first humanoid robot that can safely and economically do useful work at scale, allowing us to bring…
This White Paper provides roboticists and control engineers with a comprehensive overview of how motion planning and motion tracking can be decoupled to preserve professional athletic style in humanoid robots, and why adaptive, speed-aware control is …
This White Paper gives robotics researchers and engineers an overview of a new large-scale motion capture dataset built to close the data gap limiting humanoid robot learning. It also shows how policies trained on the dataset transfer to a real humano…
Decommissioning humanoid robots that are packed with proprietary tech is a tricky thing – you want to make sure none of the expensive raw material goes to waste, but you also need to make sure no one else gets a hold of your tech. The solution? Have yo…
Feather is betting on a customizable, $30,000 platform built for software developers.
This article is brought to you by VicOne.Robot safety has traditionally asked: Can a machine remain safe when something goes wrong? Physical AI raises a harder question: Can a machine remain safe when an attacker changes what it sees, decides, or does…
Mitsubishi is joining the rapidly growing ranks of robot builders, with plans to build up to 1,000 of its Highlanders humanoid robots per month at one of the automaker’s ICE engine plants in Kyoto – and if the plan comes together, the automaker could b…
Samsung wants to build humanoid robots, but its new RX division is starting with practical factory machines while consumer models and robot butlers remain distant ambitions without a launch timeline.
1X’s NEO home robot has tendon-driven hands with tactile sensing, force control, and water resistance, but impressive hardware still needs reliable autonomy before it can handle everyday chores.
Elon Musk has directly rejected a popular fan theory that Tesla is secretly further ahead on Optimus than it lets on, warning instead that production of its humanoid robot “will be extremely slow at first.”
The comment cuts against a bullish narrative …
