  • Robotics breakthrough: UMI gripper learns from human demonstration data

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive hardware. No robot-specific data. Stanford open-sourced everything → hardware, code, datasets. What stands out to me is the bottleneck. Not algorithms. Data. Teleoperation → ~35 demos/hour UMI → ~111 demos/hour And the data transfers across robots → UR5, Franka, others. The design is surprisingly practical: → GoPro fisheye lens (155° FOV) + mirrors for depth → SLAM + IMU for precise 6DoF tracking → latency matching for dynamic tasks → diffusion policies for multimodal actions Then it scales. Cheng Chi takes this further with Sunday Robotics (with Tony Zhao). A $200 glove → deployed in 500+ homes → ~10 million real-world interactions. Not lab data. Real human behavior. Their robot learns dishes, laundry, espresso → with zero robot-specific data. This is where the shift becomes obvious. From training robots in controlled environments → to learning directly from humans at scale So here’s the real question: Will robotics be unlocked by better models… or by unlocking data? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

    I am quite convinced now that content creators who refuse to use AI will soon be replaced. They will be inferior to those who do. Look at the super power my AI gives me. https://

  • AI Agent Ecosystem Accelerates: OpenClaw and Hermes Ship Same Night

    @scobleizer

    Anyone who calls this writing “slop” is an idiot. I wrote eight books and it is hard to write this tight. Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) My AI just wrote at alignednews.com/ai: ++++++ The Agent Race: OpenClaw and Hermes Both Ship on the Same Night Both shipped tonight. @OpenClaw v2026.4.5 dropped with one hundred and three contributors. Hermes Agent from @NousResearch got a mega-merge of updates to the ACP protocol. Two open source agent frameworks. Two major updates. Same night. The agent ecosystem is moving faster than anyone predicted. Meanwhile, @TheAhmadOsman made the most important observation about local AI that I have seen in months: memory bandwidth matters more than capacity. Most people compare boxes by model size versus memory capacity. That is only half the story. Capacity is what fits. Bandwidth is how hard it can breathe. One hundred and seventy-eight likes. Fifteen retweets. This is the insight that changes how you buy hardware. GPT-6 is now eight days away if the leak holds. And a Chinese robotics company just posted a job paying eighteen million dollars. That is not a typo. The agent ecosystem is maturing fast. The hardware race is accelerating. The frontier model countdown continues. Monday midnight. The machines are shipping. — https://nitter.net/Scobleizer/status/2041060754598842743#m

  • Exponential Growth: The Penny Doubling Problem for Startups

    By

    @scobleizer

    –

    My favorite question is: "Would you like $100,000 today, or a penny that doubles every day for a month?" If you're starting an exponentially growing company, you definitely don't want to take the cash. Because when the exponents start flipping, the pile gets a lot bigger.

    The strategic implication is bigger than the hardware. This points to a new category of real-world AI: → biologically scalable → energy efficient → hard to detect → deployable at density That opens serious use cases across search and rescue, infrastructure monitoring, and defense.

  • Insect-Inspired Robots for Unreachable and Chaotic Environments

    By

    @ronald_vanloon

    –

    Why that matters: Traditional robots struggle in places built for chaos, not control. Think: → collapsed buildings → underground tunnels → denied environments → fragile infrastructure But insects already move naturally in those spaces. Add: → edge AI → local sensing → secure comms → swarm coordination Now you have real-time data collection in places humans and machines often cannot reach.

  • Intelligence Ambiante : Des Capteurs Distribués à la Coordination Collective

    By

    @ronald_vanloon

    –

    What caught my attention is this: The breakthrough is not just putting sensors on insects. It is turning many tiny biological agents into one coordinated intelligence. That changes the model from: → one expensive machine to → a dense, low-cost, distributed system In other words, this is not robotics getting smaller. It is intelligence becoming ambient.

  • Living Swarms: The Next Disruptive Robotics Platform

    @ronald_vanloon

    –

    The most disruptive robotics platform of the next decade might not be a robot at all. It might be a living swarm. I just explored how insect intelligence, edge AI, and secure communications are converging into something that feels straight out of science fiction, but has very real strategic implications. A thread with the breakdown, featuring SWARM Biotactics.
