The evSense system on the Strutt ev¹ provides obstacle detection and assistance features such as Co-Pilot, Co-Pilot+, Waypoints, and Pathfinder. Co-Pilot+ can steer around obstacles along a set direction, but none of these features is autonomous driving; the driver must be ready to take over with the joystick at any time.
Strutt has launched the Resource Hub, offering tutorial videos, setup and travel PDF guides for the ev¹c personal smart mobility device, along with full product specifications (including dimensions, motor performance, and range data) and open-source 3D file downloads for space planning and accessory customization.
1X Technologies disclosed that the AI development process for its humanoid robot NEO is based on NVIDIA's robotics platform, covering the open-source physical AI agent tools released this week at GTC Taipei.
The Toyota Research Institute (TRI) published a tutorial article introducing a statistical A/B testing method based on success/failure labels for robot policy evaluation.
Why it matters: The TRI authors systematically explain statistical pitfalls and reusable tools in robot policy A/B testing, with runnable Python examples.
Pollen Robotics has released an assembly guide video for the Reachy Mini LITE, demonstrating the full build process in three sections: foot, body, and head. In the body section, the 6 motors must be wired in sequence, with cables clipped into the base and routed through the head PCB; after checking rotation, the Tricap and head shell are secured. The head section covers installing the fisheye lens, glasses assembly, and antenna motor, then connecting the speaker, motors, power, and USB extension cable to complete the build.
Addverb Technologies proposes five core indicators—order volume and speed, return on investment, technological progress, competitive landscape, and seasonal fluctuations—to help companies judge the right timing for warehouse automation investment. The article notes that rising labor costs, surging e-commerce orders, and the need for 24/7 operations are pushing companies to adopt automation, and that AI can support real-time data analysis and predictive maintenance. It mentions that DHL's collaboration with Addverb is transforming warehouse operations by improving speed, accuracy, and scalability.
Tianlian Robotics has published a video imitation learning training pipeline: extract reference motions with GVHMR/TRAM (or use motion capture datasets such as AMASS), then after human-to-robot joint mapping and training a motion orientation model, use PPO reinforcement learning in simulation with curriculum learning to progress from static poses to long-sequence complex motions, then optimize through domain randomization before deploying to the real robot, with fine-tuning via residual reinforcement learning or adaptive gains. The company says it has achieved key breakthroughs in dynamic force-control precision and stability, and that motions can also be reproduced in real robotic arm operation.
