.@UMA_Robots has unveiled the design of its first humanoid robot! The design combines human-scale proportions with a neutral visor in place of facial features and pairs a soft technical outer shell with exposed mechanical joints. “We believe intelligent robots will become part of the solution, not as a substitute for people, but as a new class of tools that enables them to devote more time to what machines will never replace: creativity, judgment, innovation, and caring for others,” said Remi Cadene, CEO and co-founder of UMA.

World models are shaped by the video they learn from. Self-collected footage quickly reaches its limits, leaving gaps in the real‑world coverage humanoids rely on. Bright Data provides web‑scale, multimodal video data for world models and VLAs: ☑️ 1B+ videos indexed by content ☑️ 99%+ extraction success at petabyte scale Find out more about Bright Data here: brightdata.com/ai/video-data/…

.@HMGnewsroom brought Atlas, developed by @BostonDynamics, to the @FIFAWorldCup for a halftime appearance. Atlas emerged from the player tunnel, recreating goal celebrations inspired by Harry Kane and Erling Haaland before handing the match ball to the referee. "Working with Hyundai Motor Group and FIFA to create such a unique moment for fans was an exciting challenge for our team. The way we trained Atlas to perform these fun movements at the match is similar to how we teach the robot to take on real-world industrial applications. It’s a great way to introduce people everywhere to the incredible potential of today’s AI-enabled robots,” said Alberto Rodriguez, Director of Robotics Behaviour, Boston Dynamics.

.@ManusMeta and @LightwheelAI have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development and deployment of dexterous robotic systems. The partnership connects two foundational layers of the Physical AI data stack: ✔️ MANUS provides high-precision hand-motion capture as the source signal that feeds the stack. ✔️ Lightwheel's data infrastructure spans real-world human demonstration capture and large-scale simulation. “The most important bottleneck in Physical AI today is the quality and scale of dexterous manipulation data. MANUS captures what the human hand actually does; Lightwheel scales that knowledge into the millions of training examples that robot policies require. Together, we are building the data infrastructure that the next generation of Physical AI will run on,” said Stephan van den Brink, Co-Founder and CEO, MANUS.

.@Apptronik has unveiled Apollo 2 alongside its newly expanded Robot Park, the company's facility for humanoid robot data collection and training. The high-quality data generated by Apollo 2 supports Apptronik's collaboration with @GoogleDeepMind , helping to advance Gemini Robotics, Google's AI model for robotics. “What we’re building is a continuous learning loop with the Google DeepMind Robotics team: robots working, collecting data, and improving with every cycle, in real environments, on real tasks. Robot Park enables the data collection that is fuel for that, and Apollo 2 is the machine that makes it possible. That’s how you move from early prototypes to real, deployable humanoid robots,” said Jeff Cardenas, Apptronik CEO and co-founder.
