For robot manipulation from human videos, here are 3 approaches:
1️⃣ Imitation learning: convert human → robot actions, then imitate
2️⃣ RL: replicate the environment in simulation, then train a policy
3️⃣ Training-free: use perception + geometry to transfer trajectories

We have completed the SLAM Handbook "From Localization and Mapping to Spatial Intelligence" and released it online: asrl.utias.utoronto.ca/~tdb/slam/ . The handbook will be published by Cambridge University Press. [1/n]
Quality control is the backbone of manufacturing, yet manual inspections remain slow and prone to human error. This article examines how Precision Parts Inc., a fictional company, utilizes AI-powered vision technology with Arduino’s Portenta Proto Kit VE and Nicla Vision to…
When there are tens of thousands of people posting videos of these lovely humanoid forms in their own kitchens, that would be something, sending AI stocks to the moon.
I think it's coming; after all, kitchens are a much more constrained environment compared to the wild, many…

AI and Software Engineering Productivity.
Here is what the data really says.
A Stanford study looked at:
-- 50,000+ engineers
-- 2B+ lines of code
-- Millions of commits
This was done across private company repositories (not hobby projects).
The results:
1. Greenfield + low…

Jaguar Land Rover just got hacked, freezing both its plants in the UK and affecting global operations. What does it mean for the company and its consumers?
This is what I have been building for the last few months: a whole-body controller trained in Isaac Sim using RL. The ability to put the hands wherever they are needed and let the NN take steps and adjust stance as needed is a huge boost in capability for teleoperators + LfD.

I’ve heard this "HRI is the moat" point many times.
For robots that do physical work, I’m not so sure.
Capability feels like the real moat—the hard part that will set companies apart.
Interfaces matter a lot, but seem easier to copy and refine once the capability is there.

Object Counting with Computer Vision
Counting fast-moving objects is a complex task, but tools like Ultralytics make implementation more accessible. In this case, a basic object counter was developed using fewer than 50 lines of code, demonstrating the efficiency of modern…
Behind every advanced robot lies a critical but often overlooked component: the cable system. Flexible cable solutions aren’t just accessories; they determine reliability, efficiency, and adaptability on the factory floor.
This in-depth report by @igus_Inc explores:

NeRFs & 3DGS look great but are static.
Veo/Genie show how exciting dynamic worlds can be.
What if we brought that dynamism into explicit 3D?

Do valet parking robots make sense?
The idea: an ultra-thin robot slides under any car and parks it for you.
No one talks about it, but car parks are a nightmare for autonomous vehicles:
- No GPS
- Confusing, visually similar/sparse environments
- Tight spaces requiring…
I see MolmoAct as a 61 page handbook to teach everyone how they could build their own robotics foundations model in a fully open setting. Similar to everything else we do here @allen_ai .
