Research around the Universal Manipulation Interface is enabling Generalist, Walden Robotics, and others to turn data into robot behaviors.

Gravis Robotics has designed autonomy AI and hardware for a wide range of excavators and construction equipment and plans to scale globally.

Protolabs CTO Marc Kermisch explains how AI, simulation, and design for manufacturing turn CAD files into production parts faster.

VicOne says its free Radeis Extension for NVIDIA Isaac Sim enables developers to test robot cyber safety before deployment.

Nomagic says its real moat is production data, because the messiness of real warehouses is where robots either prove themselves or fail.

OSARO’s Derek Pridmore says warehouse robots are advancing, but real-world safety and reliability still depend on specialized, layered AI systems.

Discover how time series databases help robotics teams manage high-volume sensor data, power AI insights, and keep systems running at scale.

NEURA Robotics has partnered with a German university for NEURA Gym RWTH Aachen, one of 10 facilities for training physical AI.

A report looks at how physical AI is increasingly enabling autonomous systems to perceive their environments, make decisions, and act in the real world.

Deploying world models in real robotic systems requires a step that receives less attention than the models themselves: conditioning.

During BrainCo’s demo, the mind-controlled robotic arm completed tasks that require precision, such as grasping a cup or picking up an apple.

Teleoperation is necessary for training humanoid robots, but reinforcement learning and simulation are still necessary, says Flexion’s CEO.

Palm Garden AI is developing a hardware-agnostic software layer, including Coherence Guard, for human-robot interaction and relationships.

RoboLab research powers NVIDIA Isaac Lab-Arena, an open-source simulation framework for large-scale policy setup and evaluation.

To address environmental and task variability, robots can benefit from ‘virtual gyms’ to bridge the sim-to-real gap, says SoftServe.

Hugging Face LeRobot is an open-source robotics library for training, running, and sharing robot datasets, models, policies, and workflows.

ENCY Software and Stäubli Robotics have signed a global agreement to make robot programming more intuitive, faster, and more accessible.

Around the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Hyundai and Boston Dynamics have taught footwork to the Atlas humanoid, while the Spot robot is on patrol.
