Robotics is advancing quickly but there's still a big gap between what robots can learn in training and what they can actually do in the real world. That's one reason I've been following @PrismaXai They are working on connecting human teleoperation, real world data collection, and robotics training to help physical AI improve through practical experience I wanted to explore that idea visually so I put together this short animation about what PrismaX is building Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Robotics at University of Michigan is on 🔥! Plus, it's completely open-sourced and free. University of Michigan Robotics Department put their entire robotics program on GitHub. Everything. Code. Textbooks. Examples. Simulations. That's what inside: → ROB 101: Computational Linear Algebra. Foundation course on the math that actually powers robots. → ROB 201: Calculus for the Modern Engineer. They wrote a textbook from scratch (GPL-licensed, on GitHub) because standard calculus doesn't address what engineers need. → ROB 204: Introduction to Human-Robot Systems. How humans and robots actually interact. → ROB 311: How to Build Robots and Make Them Move. The gap between theory and practice. → ROB 501: Mathematics for Robotics. Graduate-level rigor with code examples and interactive Jupyter notebooks. If you want to learn robotics math from one of the world's best robotics departments, it's free. Over 2,800 GitHub stars on the math courses alone. Thousands of people learning robotics, just because it's open for everyone :) This is how you build the next generation of roboticists! 🔗 Access it here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Robotics Tipping Point: The Interview We sat down with Kyle Zinn from @citrini, the team behind the SaaSpocalypse and Hormuz articles that broke the timeline. Citrini's latest field trip took him to robotics factories in the Bay Area to find out where the industry is headed: 00:00 - Intro 04:51 - Field-trip report 07:33 - Robotics' "ChatGPT moment"? 10:35 - The humanoid debate 13:45 - No "light switch" moment 16:31 - ROI is the key 17:43 - How to train a robot 19:59 - Robot school and internships 23:29 - Optimus at Giga Texas 26:23 - OpenAI enters robotics 31:57 - Early real-world deployments 37:23 - Unitree vs. Figure 39:52 - General robots 1-2 years away 41:50 - Humanoid supply-chain trade 44:34 - Bet on manufacturing enablers 48:29 - Supply-chain stocks 50:47 - Figure and Tesla's upside 53:26 - Figure's edge 55:19 - US vs. China 58:58 - Behind the field trip 1:04:15 - Where to invest

Robotics are transforming the fashion business. From warehouse operations to the supply chain, listen to how @therealreal is integrating technology to drive efficiencies across the resale ecosystem.

Robotics at the largest industrial manufacturer in the US today!! Today, I convened leaders at Standard Bots, the largest manufacturer of industrial robots in the United States, to discuss how we can bring Long Island’s world-class talent, leading universities, skilled workforce, and entrepreneurial spirit together and make LI a destination for the robotics industry of the future. Let’s build it here!

Robotics has a flywheel problem: better robots need better data, better training + better evaluation - all feeding each other. At Exploit, @quack_builder of @openroboto shows how Bittensor can connect that loop: from human demonstrations → open model competition → working robots in the real world:

Robotics and AI are taking on more tasks in fabs today, particularly to reduce unscheduled downtime and ensure more good wafers are produced with existing capacity. #semiconductor# #fabs# #robotics#
