Sam Altman is saying that OpenAI plans to build a humanoid robot, along with other designs because the world around us was built for humans (Save this). Doors, stairs, computers, tools, kitchens, vehicles, and factory equipment are all designed around the human body, a robot with a similar shape could therefore perform useful tasks without requiring people to redesign the entire world. His bigger vision is that one day, everyone could have a personal robot that handles the jobs they do not want to do like cleaning, carrying things, operating equipment, helping elderly people, or completing…

Cerebras is great, & the people at Cerebras are great & lovely! But since NVIDIA showed off their LPX's amazing perf at Hot Chips & OpenAI Jalapeno performance was released, Cerebras folks have been massively cope-tweeting on Twitter. They should focus on continuously improving their software stack & execution instead of cope-tweeting.

THIS ISN’T A ROBOT LEARNING TO DANCE. IT’S A ROBOT LEARNING HOW TO CONTROL ITS ENTIRE BODY. Walk. Run. Crawl. Roll. Handstand. Cartwheel. Then get back up and keep moving. Boston Dynamics trained Atlas using reinforcement learning, with human motion capture and animation as references. The flashy part is the acrobatics. That’s not the important part. The important part is everything happening between them. Accelerate. Decelerate. Shift balance. Drop to the floor. Recover from an awkward position. Reorient the body. Keep moving. Humans solve these problems without thinking. For a humanoid,…

US Builds Walls Around Drones and Robots While China’s Scale Keeps Growing – The Daily Tech Feed

Skip to content Posted on August 31, 2026 In recent months, the U.S. has introduced tighter rules on robotic systems and imposed steep tariffs on imported drones and related components, citing national security risks. These new policies include restrictions on foreign-made advanced robots by the FCC and component-specific tariffs starting in September, with further measures slated for 2027.

Boston Dynamics' new Atlas robot is getting uncomfortably close to science fiction. 🤖😳 It doesn't just walk anymore. It twists, bends, lifts, carries, recovers from falls, manipulates objects, and moves with a fluidity that looks almost unnatural. Unlike humans, some of its joints can rotate in ways our bodies simply can't. A few years ago, robot videos looked impressive. Now they look like a warning. 🚨 The craziest part? Atlas is no longer just a lab experiment. Boston Dynamics is already manufacturing production-ready versions for real-world industrial work. At this rate, the question…

The trial used robotic hands rather than a complete humanoid to insert flexible wired plugs into moving targets on a live conveyor at a global Tier 1 automotive supplier. The result came from 313 insertion trials conducted over 40 minutes, CEO Daniel Friedmann told Forbes. Sanctuary calculated the success rate by comparing successful and unsuccessful insertions.
