In Episode 166 of The Robot Report Podcast, co-hosts Mike Oitzman and Steve Crowe discuss the latest robotics news from the past week. People having a humanoid at home is one of the topics. On the show this week, they feature a recent conversation with Bernt Børnich, CEO and founder of 1X (formerly Halodi) Robotics. 1X recently launched NEO Beta,…
The race to bring humanoid robots from science fiction to reality is heating up, with companies like 1x and Figure taking center stage. While both are committed to advancing humanoid robotics, their strategies diverge significantly. 1x is steering its robots directly into people’s homes, aiming to revolutionize domestic life. In contrast, Figure is focusing on…
Humanoid robotics developers must pick which problems to solve, says NVIDIA To be effective and commercially viable, humanoid robots will need a full stack of technologies for everything from locomotion and perception to manipulation. Developers of artificial intelligence and humanoids are using NVIDIA tools, from the edge to the cloud. At NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference…
Tesla and others are trying to infuse robots with artificial intelligence, yet their development is dogged by technical and safety challenges. But the dream of a multipurpose domestic droid lives on. In 2013, Boston Dynamics introduced Atlas, a 6ft 2in humanoid robot capable of walking on uneven terrain, jumping, and climbing stairs, signaling a major…
In machine learning, a world model is a computer program that can imagine how the world evolves in response to an agent’s behavior. Building on advancements in video generation and world models for autonomous vehicles, we have trained a world model that serves as a virtual simulator for our robots.
