Sydney, come sundown. 🌃 OpenDriveLab x @archon_robotics are throwing an afterparty! TopTalents for Embodied AI, a social mixer at W Sydney, harbour views, golden hour, and the people building the next gen of Embodied Intelligence. 📅 Jul 14 · 7–10PM 📍 W Sydney 🎟️ Apply: luma.com/0ml7kuwb #RSS2026 #EmbodiedAI #Sydney #WorldModel #FoundationModel

🚀 Join us at the #CVPR 2026 Workshop: From Labs to Life: Embodied Intelligence in the Wild (opendrivelab.com/cvpr2026/works…) As embodied AI moves into the real world, we ask: how can agents perceive, reason, and act reliably in the wild? Featuring invited talks from: Hao Su, Zhiyu Huang, Jiahui Lei, Yilun Du, Rika Antonova, Jiatao Gu. 📅 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM, June 3, 2026 📍 Four Seasons 1, Colorado Convention Center. #CVPR #EmbodiedAI #PhysicalAI #Robotics

SimScale is fully open-sourced!!! 📄 arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2511.23369 💻 Code: github.com/OpenDriveLab/S… 🤗 Ckpts + Sim Data: huggingface.co/datasets/OpenD…

🎉 Excited to share our recent work SimScale, which has been accepted to CVPR 2026 as Oral presentation! 🤖Can we improve policies via scaling synthetic experience? 😢End-to-end driving policies struggles on safety-critical & OOD scenarios that are rare in human logs. To tackle this, SimScale features: 🏗️ A scalable simulation pipeline synthesizes diverse, high-fidelity reactive driving scenarios upon existing logs. (See attached visualization as one synthetic data sample). 🚀 With pseudo-expert demonstrations, Sim-real co-training boosts LTF / DiffusionDrive / GTRS-Dense, up to +8.6 EPDMS on navhard, +2.9 on navtest. 🔬 Performance scales smoothly by adding simulation data alone, with no extra real-world data needed. Joint effort by @HCTian713, @francislee2020, @OpenDriveLab, @sephy_li

RISE (3/N) To address this bottleneck, we introduce RISE: Reinforcement learning via Imagination for SElf-improving robots. RISE shifts the learning environment from physical world to a Compositional World Model, which first emulates future observations for proposed actions,

🚀 MM-Hand 1.0 Tech Report released: a 21-DoF multi-modal modular dexterous robotic hand with remote tendon-driven actuation. Motors are relocated outside the hand, freeing space for tactile sensors, joint encoders, in-palm stereo vision, and maintainable modular fingers. MM-Hand achieves 25N fingertip force through 1m tendon-sheath transmission and supports closed-loop joint control for dexterous manipulation research.

【5/5】That's all! Hope #WorldEngine brings you fresh insights into post-training infrastructure for Physical AI. If you find it useful, please give it a star 🌟！ Github: github.com/OpenDriveLab/W… Huggingface: huggingface.co/datasets/OpenD… Project Page: opendrivelab.com/WorldEngine/ Teamwork from @OpenDriveLab Shoutout to @sephy_li @ilnehc @francislee2020 @CaojunWang @GeorgeL94133026 📢

【1/5】🌍 WorldEngine: Towards the Era of Post-Training for Physical AI 🎯 A post-training framework for Physical AI that systematically addresses the long-tail safety-critical data scarcity problem in autonomous driving. 🧱The missing infrastructure for Physical AI post-training in AD. Open-source. Production-validated. github.com/OpenDriveLab/W… #WorldEngine #PhysicalAI #OpenDriveLab

UMI made robot data collection intuitive. 🤖 TAMEn takes it further — bringing vision and touch into a unified, closed-loop learning system. 🌏 opendrivelab.com/TAMEn 📑 arxiv.org/abs/2604.07335 🔗 github.com/OpenDriveLab/T… ✨ What’s new: - Dual-mode data collection (MoCap ↔ VR) - Online replayability check - AR-in-the-loop + real-time tactile feedback (tAmeR) - Self-evolving pyramid data pipeline 🚀 Results: 34% → 75% success rate on bimanual tasks. This marks a shift from usable data to self-improving data engines. TAMEn turns robots from "blind operators" into tactile-aware, evolving collaborators. #EmbodiedAI #Tactile #Robotics #Bimanual #TAMEn

#WorldEngine is one of the most exciting projects in AD in the past years! It's a post-training framework tackling the scarcity of long-tail safety-critical scenarios by: mining -> 3DGS reconstruction and dynamic agents control w/ behavior world models -> RL post-training.
