physim-gate v0.3.1 fixes three issues found in the v0.3.0 review: comparisons could silently produce wrong verdicts or exit codes. When trial ids are shared, a trial reported by only one side is recorded as a missing value (physim.failure_rate counts it as a failure; fully disjoint trial ids are still compared as independent samples). Duplicate keys in gate configs, suites, run results, and LeRobot output are rejected, with the file name identified.
physim-gate v0.4.0 is released, fixing the thirteen P1 issues found in the v0.3.0 review and adjusting the decision logic: incomparable runs are always judged INVALID (exit code 3), and input errors use exit code 2.

A solo developer spent six months turning Visual Recovery, which was still just an idea in April, into a general-purpose real-time 4K 60FPS NVIDIA CUDA underwater image enhancement software, with algorithms designed specifically for real-time processing in turbid water. In this test, the GPU took about 5-10 milliseconds to process each frame. The project is still experimental, and the developer is seeking feedback from ROV operators and underwater computer vision practitioners.
pymaxim 1.3.2 "Decomposition" is released, fixing high-severity security advisory GHSA-7qh4-mp34-88v9: previously a leader ran without authentication by default and debug routes could be read through a cloudflared tunnel; 1.3.2 changes to fail-closed by default, and each leader must run pip install --upgrade pymaxim on its own machine and cold restart.
A Reddit user added a Halloween Trick or Treat skill to AgenticROS for their personal robot Bob. Bob is equipped with RealSense, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, and AVerMedia SenseEdge, and can remind visitors by voice to "take only one candy at a time" when they take candy too quickly. This is a real-machine demo of a personal project, with no quantitative metrics provided.
CMES Robotics' AI-powered mixed-case robotic palletizing system will make its first public US appearance at PACK EXPO 2026 in Chicago.
