    LimX Dynamics releases LimX COSA embodied agent system, demonstrated on Oli humanoid robot with mobile manipulation

    LimX Dynamics has officially released LimX COSA (Cognitive OS of Agents), an embodied agentic OS positioned as native to the physical world. The system uses a bottom-up three-layer structure: the bottom layer is a whole-body motion control foundation model, the middle layer is a high-level skill layer integrating large and small models, and the top layer is autonomous cognition and decision-making, involving interaction, memory, and thinking.

    Dobot Revives Sinosauropteryx with Embodied Intelligence

    Dobot has used robotics technology, bionic structures, and a multimodal embodied intelligence core to "revive" the primitive Sinosauropteryx, enabling it to perceive its environment through vision and touch and to control its body movements autonomously. The team used a hard-shell component skeleton, compliant joints, and bionic tendon-bone coordinated transmission, with the outer skin made of silicone flocked skin implanted by hand. This is the first deployment of its robotic entertainment solution, aimed at high-end cultural tourism, science education, and film special effects, with plans to build a business model of hardware sales plus rental operations, content subscriptions, and offline experiences.

    Dobot appears at IROS 2025, launches embodied intelligence robot platform combining humanoid, robotic arm, multi-legged, and wheeled forms

    At IROS 2025, Dobot exhibited the world's first embodied intelligence robot platform integrating humanoid, robotic arm, multi-legged, and wheeled forms, using a brain-cerebellum dual-system architecture. Its humanoid robot passed high-temperature and heavy-load aging tests, with precision reaching ±0.05mm; the X-Trainer dual-arm teleoperation AI training platform shortens the training cycle for new tasks by 70%, to about 2 hours. Dobot also cooperated with Tencent's Tairos platform, and the multi-legged robot Hexplorer achieved fully autonomous operation with high-precision 3D mapping and dynamic obstacle-avoidance guided tours.

    Dexterity and Beckhoff USA Reach Key Supplier Agreement for Mech Superhumanoid Robot

    Dexterity has signed a key supplier agreement with Beckhoff USA to provide automation, kinematics, and safety-related technologies for the Mech superhumanoid robot. Beckhoff's control hardware is compact and suited to constrained installation spaces such as mobile robots, and its U.S. special projects team worked with Dexterity engineers to implement control systems including kinematics, PLC, and machine safety. Dexterity is valued at $1.65 billion and has previously worked with FedEx and Sagawa Express to deploy truck loading and unloading robots.

    Bot Auto completes first fully driverless truck real-world road test

    Linear Capital portfolio company Bot Auto announced it has completed its first real-world road test in which the truck truly performed all operations on its own, with no one in the driver's seat, the back seat, or at a remote-control terminal, and no escort vehicle. During the test, the truck on a Texas highway handled scenarios including avoidance, detouring, merging, and responding to the appearance of a fire truck. The vehicle is equipped with 15 cameras, 8 lidars, and 3 millimeter-wave radars, with redundancy in perception, computing, actuation, and power supply; after the primary server is shut down it can switch to a backup server, and if the backup is also shut down, the vehicle control unit takes over to pull over and stop.

    Why it matters: The article sorts out the differences between Bot Auto's truly driverless road test and earlier modes with safety drivers, escort vehicles, and remote control, helping readers understand the differences in its technical approach.
