    Open-source humanoid robot project CoOLER (Collaborative Open Learning Experimental Robot) design released

    A developer has launched an open-source humanoid robot project named CoOLER (Collaborative Open Learning Experimental Robot), planned as a dual-purpose, modular design, with code and MuJoCo models to be made public. The author believes humanoid robot control is complex and errors are costly, favors low-cost specialized robots, and proposes foot grasping and intermittent hanging to alleviate motor cooling issues; these ideas await experimental verification.

    Any3R goes open source: one model unifies 3D reconstruction and pose estimation for pinhole, fisheye, and panoramic cameras

    South Dakota State University and other institutions propose Any3R, which uses a dense ray field to describe arbitrary central cameras, reconstructing a 3D point cloud and estimating pose from mixed-camera images in a single forward pass. The method replaces the row and column indices of rotary position encoding with angular coordinates and weights the pixel loss by solid angle, so one set of weights covers pinhole, fisheye beyond 180°, and 360° panoramic cameras. On benchmarks spanning 13 central camera types and 3 datasets, it leads in both reconstruction accuracy and pose accuracy; the inference code, 13 camera models, and weights are open-sourced.

    Why it matters: The article presents a feed-forward 3D reconstruction method that replaces the pinhole assumption with a dense ray field, offering insight into handling mixed inputs from multiple camera types.

    ∇Mimic: Efficient Whole-Body Control for Humanoid Robots with Differentiable Simulation

    The authors propose ∇Mimic, which uses exact gradients from a differentiable simulator to train whole-body motion-tracking policies for humanoid robots, reaching a score of 0.82 in 20 minutes and 0.874 in 1.8 hours on a single GPU, whereas the world-model method takes 1.2 hours to reach 0.82.

    Why it matters: The paper presents a complete scheme for training humanoid policies with exact gradients under differentiable simulation and open-sources the engine and code, making it easy to compare the efficiency of first-order and zeroth-order methods.

    HKU open-sources GenSfM: jointly reconstructing 3D objects and camera poses from four uncalibrated images

    A University of Hong Kong team has open-sourced GenSfM, which uses a native 3D diffusion model to jointly denoise object shape and per-view camera poses within a single multimodal sequence, requiring only 2 to 4 uncalibrated images and no camera intrinsics or extrinsics. Evaluated on Toys4k and GSO, it improves novel-view PSNR by 3.2–4.5 dB over the multi-view baseline TRELLIS-M, reduces median Chamfer distance by about 64%–74%, and achieves pose Acc@5° above 96%.

    Why it matters: The work turns a native 3D diffusion model into the main inference mechanism for joint denoising of shape and camera poses, and releases code and models as a reference for sparse-view reconstruction.

    X-Era AI Tuoyuan Zhihui releases open-source 4D world action model E0.5, with out-of-distribution real-robot success rate surpassing π0.5

    X-Era AI Tuoyuan Zhihui released the open-source native 4D world action model E0.5, which uses a 3D foundation model as its backbone and integrates future 3D geometry prediction directly into action learning. On the AgileX Piper dual-arm robot and the Zerith H1 humanoid robot, after pretraining on about 160,000 robot trajectories, E0.5 achieved overall average success rates of 85.0% and 88.3%, respectively, improving on π0.5 by 13.3 and 26.7 percentage points; its out-of-distribution average success rates were 73.3% and 76.7%.

    Why it matters: The original text provides a comparison of E0.5 and π0.5 success rates on out-of-distribution real-robot tasks, which readers can use to judge the effect of 3D geometry supervision on manipulation generalization.

    GenTrack3 proposes hybrid stochastic-deterministic online multi-object tracking framework

    GenTrack3 proposes an online multi-object tracking (MOT) framework that integrates deterministic and stochastic principles, using stochastic particle sets to compute target-to-detection matching costs in order to maintain robust tracking under uncertainty. The paper also introduces a new track-to-detection matching method that improves scalability as the number of targets grows and supports group tracking; tracking inference uses tracklets containing identifiers, states, velocities, track penalties, and track ages. The authors state that a reference implementation and baseline trackers have been released on GitHub.

    Single-motor underactuated drone open-sourced: one motor controls both thrust and attitude

    The author achieved drone flight with a single motor. The propeller hub is 3D-printed in PPA-CF and features hinges; when the motor accelerates, the blades lag, causing one side to pitch up and the other to pitch down. Through torque pulses timed to the rotor angle 300 times per second, the same motor controls both pitch and roll.
