How the heck did Spot do a triple backflip on America’s Got Talent last night? Here’s how:
How the heck did Spot do a triple backflip on America’s Got Talent last night? Here’s how:
This "little" upgrade is a massive leap for robotics. 👀 The #NVIDIAJetson Thor is here to redefine what's possible: ⚡ Next-Level Performance: 7.5x faster AI compute with the Blackwell GPU. 🧠 Generative AI Ready: Handles the latest models with real-time reasoning. 🦾…
Spot will be back on #AGT tonight - August 26th 8/7c! Take a look behind the scenes at how we developed our audition performance and tune in live for something even more show stopping! bosdyn.co/4oTwmMz
We are excited to bring our Spot robots back to America's Got Talent stage LIVE tonight Aug 26 @ 8:00 ET. Catch us on NBC or stream it on Peacock. After the performance, you'll have 24 hours to vote for your favorite act. Enjoy and be sure to vote! youtube.com/watch?v=ptYDWP…
I saw a photo of a new U.S. reshoring factory. The #1 robot brand powering Trump’s “Make America Great Again” revival isn’t... American. It’s Japanese. That sent me down a rabbit hole.... What I found is a 40-year silent invasion that reshaped American factories while almost…
Whole-body Large Behavior Model diffusion policy from Boston Dynamics and TRI. Most advanced mobile-manipulation demo with error recovery I've seen to date.
Robotics will shape economic and military power for decades. Without bold U.S. policy, China will lead, crippling our industrial base and deepening tech dependence. Congress must act. Details from @RobAtkinsonITIF, @Meg_ostertag, & @Trelysa_Long ⬇️ itif.org/publications/2…
End to end whole body manipulation from Boston Dynamics, using vision language action models. The humanoid future feels bright.
Now that we’ve automated my six-year old folding laundry, when will we automate my three-year old taking the folded stack of clothes and throwing them?

Administrator Zeldin, it was a pleasure to host you this week to discuss how robots can support the EPA's Great American Comeback Initiative. Robots are a key enabler of many government objectives that create a cleaner, safer and better society. Thank you for your interest!

👦🏼: ‘Mom, can we have Optimus Prime?' 👩🏻: ‘No, there is Optimus Prime at home…’ Optimus Prime at home 👇🏼 Creating something cool with robotics requires building it first. So, the DIY aspect of robotics is essential. Servos, cardboard boxes, and a simple controller, on…
I'm observing a mini Moravec's paradox within robotics: gymnastics that are difficult for humans are much easier for robots than "unsexy" tasks like cooking, cleaning, and assembling. It leads to a cognitive dissonance for people outside the field, "so, robots can parkour &…
Today the @WhiteHouse released America’s AI Action Plan to win the global race. We need to OUT-INNOVATE our competitors, BUILD AI & energy infrastructure, & EXPORT American AI around the world. Visit AI.gov
@TheHumanoidHub Its easier to tell horror stories than advocate for all the lives that will be saved by technological progress
We had a great week meeting with US government leaders to discuss robotics innovation and policy. Thank you to Senator @SenSchumer, Congressman @JayObernolte and others for your enthusiasm and support!
Whoever builds the world’s robots will dominate one of the most important technologies in the 21st century. Given the importance of these supply chains and the military applications of robots, America needs to beat China and win this AI race. Next week at @HudsonInstitute I’ll…
