AgileX Robotics' self-developed NAVIS 3D laser navigation platform combines a 16-line LiDAR with visual sensors, can build maps at an operating speed of 1.5 m/s, achieves static repeat positioning accuracy of ±5 cm, and supports 3D map construction for scenarios at the 2 million square meter scale. The platform works in coordination with AgileX's UMR all-scenario universal four-wheel-drive four-wheel-steering mobile robot chassis, and an intelligent under-track inspection solution for rail transit with a dual-arm lifting mechanism has already been launched, integrating the PiPER dual robotic arm system and dual 32-line LiDARs to achieve a fully automated closed loop for the entire under-track inspection process.

Bear thought it could bully the rabbit? Not with #Eiliko's dad around. After bootcamp, it finally came down to 🐻 versus 🐇. The secret move is — a smarter escape! A tactical retreat is Dad's top-tier lesson. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers who have our backs at the critical moments and run alongside us!
Cheer alongside Dad. Root for your favorite team. And companionship that makes every moment meaningful. #ollobot #cyberpet #footballsunday #happyfathersday
Is this a PAD? No... this is just my head 🤣 #ollobot #cyberpet #newmodel #comingsoon #ipad #lilypad
Happy Dragon Boat Festival 🚣♂️🍃 Drums are rolling and the streets are filled with the smell of zongzi!

The original text provides only teaser information and does not disclose a specific model, specifications, or performance data.
Commercial space in-orbit operation and management service company Aerospace Satellite recently announced the completion of its Series D, D+ and D++ financing rounds, with cumulative funding of nearly RMB 2 billion. Participants include Puhua Capital, Sequoia China, Qianhai Ark, Unicom Strategic Emerging, Zijin Mining, China Insurance Investment, SAIC Motor, and Wuliangye, among others. After completion of the D+ round, the company joined the ranks of unicorns valued at RMB 10 billion.
O.o ... Can someone explain the rules of #OlloNi? #ollobot #cyberpet #football #worldcup2026 #plush
Reflex's first public demonstration day
On June 10, Harbin Institute of Technology and the Fuzhou New Area Management Committee signed a special cooperation agreement on constellation construction, and Lan Wen's delegation visited the State Key Laboratory of Robotics and Systems and other units. The two sides will jointly build a commercial space satellite constellation for marine applications and an innovation cooperation platform in the satellite field, promoting the commercialization of satellite-related scientific and technological achievements in Fuzhou New Area.
Diffusion (or flow) makes for excellent policies, but training them with RL is notoriously hard: BPTT is unstable, and RL over diffusion blows up the horizon. In our new paper, we show how to optimize a flow matching actor with a "weird little trick"—using the identity matrix to "approximate" the Jacobian of the flow denoising process. 👇

Scaling reinforcement learning to long horizons remains a major challenge. Long-horizon Q-learning (LQL) prevents the accumulation of bootstrapping error by constraining differences in the value function over long horizons. Compared with one-step TD and n-step returns, LQL shows significant improvement! Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.05812

🚀PNDbotics @ICRA 2026 Explore the future of embodied AI together with developers worldwide!
Today (June 3), I will be speaking at the CVPR "Test-Time Scaling for Computer Vision" workshop (1:30 pm PT) on how we can use test-time compute to improve the generalization of robot policies, Room 506. Also, I am speaking right now (in 5 minutes) at the "Foundation Model Deployment" workshop in Ballroom 2!

Noble Machines CEO and co-founder Wei Ding will speak on Wednesday at 11:45 AM CT on the Humanoid Pavilion Stage at Automate 2026, on industrial autonomy driven by scalable robot learning. He noted that traditional automation relies on extensive programming, fixed workflows, and long deployment cycles, making it hard to handle dynamic and constantly changing industrial and manufacturing scenarios. The company is also offering a booking link for 1:1 meetings in Chicago.
Attending @CVPR and want to explore the sparks between vision, world models, and robotics? We will host a small reception in Denver on June 6, and @DynaRobotics' co-founders and research team will all be there. Come have a beer, hang out, and debate whether vision models can become systems that understand and act in the physical world. June 6, Denver. Limited spots—yes, we are intentionally keeping the numbers small. RSVP: https://luma.com/rcz2dzht

A UC San Diego team created microrobot swarms made of living algae and nanoparticles that can switch between gathering and dispersing using light color: blue light makes them assemble into specified shapes according to a mask, while red light makes them disperse. In simulated wound tests, AI analyzed the wound and laser-printed a matching mask; under blue light the robots assembled onto medical tape in the shape of the wound, and after red light irradiation, over 90% were released to the target area in under two minutes. The authors note that the system currently relies on light, is limited to surface applications, and still requires loading the nanoparticles with drugs and testing on real wounds and living tissue.
OlloBot reminds you that it's time for a family gathering! 🥳🥳🥳

Researchers at EPFL published a method in Science Robotics that lets multiple robots with different designs complete the same task from a single human demonstration. The method does not rely on AI; instead, it analyzes the physical properties of three-revolute-joint robotic arms, marks safe regions within each robot's range of motion, and classifies three-joint robots into six categories based on shared physical constraints, writing those constraints into each robot's program. The authors call this kinematic intelligence.
