Wired’s 2026 top picks matter less as a shopping guide than as a signal that robot mowers are becoming a real autonomy product. The winners now separate on navigation, recovery, a…
NVIDIA’s latest Robotics Week post is notable not for one breakthrough model, but for how it frames physical AI as an integrated stack: simulation, robot learning, and foundation-…
A growing slice of humanoid training is being pushed out of the lab and into homes, where gig workers generate edge-case demonstrations at scale. That may be the fastest way to bu…
Marlin is built for business customers and can run autonomous research for up to eight hours. The real test is whether that kind of long-horizon agent can produce dependable analy…
A new study suggests the bottleneck in robotics is not just model capability but control architecture: general-purpose AI becomes far more reliable only after humans supply the ab…
A new gig-work layer is turning ordinary homes into embodied-data factories. That may help humanoid teams scale faster—but it also shifts the bottleneck from raw collection to cal…
A new DeepMind study maps six ways ordinary-looking web pages, files, and API responses can steer autonomous agents off course. The takeaway for builders is not that agents are un…
A service-wide failure in Wuhan left riders stranded and traffic disrupted, showing that robotaxi reliability depends as much on orchestration, fallback behavior, and remote super…
The Allen Institute for AI says its latest robotics models were trained entirely in simulation, a direct attempt to cut physical data collection out of the loop. The result is les…
Reinforcement learning environments used to be teaching tools. Now they shape whether agents scale, transfer, and evaluate cleanly—and that makes environment design a technical mo…
A Texas district tried to help teach Waymo vehicles to stop for school buses. The miss exposes a bigger problem for autonomous driving: rare safety rules are easy to state and har…
At GTC, NVIDIA framed Omniverse and OpenUSD less as visualization tooling than as infrastructure for robotics and manufacturing—an ambitious bet that virtual worlds can compress d…
