PI’s frontier models are powering everything from harvesting and household robots to assembly systems and wheel loaders. Formic’s demo looks really good. The robot is handling the full box-packing cycle with PI’s models. Looks like they’ve…

Some thoughts on a robotics conference: the research community increasingly is looking at enabling contact-rich manipulation with dexterous hands, and has the tools to do so https://t.co/zZhiEHLX49

Astribot brought its T1 humanoid to its North America debut at IROS 2026: a humanoid developers can actually put to work, starting around $18k. ~1.55m, 23 DOF, 5kg payload per arm, teleoperable out of the box for data collection and…

Starts at $18K…🤯 Astribot T1 just appeared at IROS 2026 and officially went on sale. They also brought their full robotics stack, including the in-house Lumo-2 model. T1 is built for precise manipulation: a cable-driven body, 23 DoF…

Humanoid robots are starting to work together. Astribot is bringing T1(>$18K) to the US for the first time at IROS 2026, showcasing autonomous tasks like backpack packing,lab teleoperation...alongside Astribot’s in-house AI model,--Lumo-2.…
