THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN NBA PLAYOFF HISTORY.
@kevin_zakka @philippswu @pabbeel Congrats Kevin!!!
@ericjang11 Best of luck Eric. I often remember your advice and your writing when I’m thinking through problems I’m working on. Looking forward to what you’re doing next!
A lot of these design decisions were learned from deploying and supporting Spot. And FWIW, internally a lot of us had qualms about the aesthetic too — but it’s hard to argue with how easy this design makes *everything*, whether manufacturing or safety or controls
I see people bagging on the design - but reducing the amount of unique parts & simplifying assembly/maintenance in these industrial systems is such a major win I support it. Simplify simplify simplify
We’re making great progress with our Gemini Robotics work in bringing AI to the physical world - a critical aspect of AGI. As part of our next steps, super excited to announce our partnership with @BostonDynamics, combining our SOTA robotics models with their world-class hardware
Google DeepMind 🤝 @BostonDynamics Our new research partnership will bring together our advancements in Gemini Robotics’s foundational capabilities to their new Atlas® humanoids. 🦾 Find out more → goo.gle/49paguA
New robot!
Boston Dynamics (owned by Hyundai) just unveiled a stationary prototype of the new Atlas humanoid on stage at CES 2026.
Love seeing RL robustness demos, these tasks are impressive
We just released results for our newest VLA from Physical Intelligence: π*0.6. This one is trained with RL, and it makes it quite a bit better: often doubles throughput, enables real-world tasks like folding real laundry and making espresso drinks at the office.
Today I’m proud to share what I’ve been working on recently with my team at @BostonDynamics along with our collaborators at @ToyotaResearch . bostondynamics.com/blog/large-beh…
@aaronistan Absolutely amazing design choice and very well-timed. I really hope this takes off!
Atlas is demonstrating reinforcement learning policies developed using a motion capture suit. This demonstration was developed in partnership with Boston Dynamics and @rai_inst.
every time I stay in the office at night I’m simultaneously pleased and terrified by the robots constantly strolling right behind me
@simonkalouche Just saying, this comparison is odd. You’re comparing middleware to a programming language. You could rewrite ROS in Rust if you wanted to (and which you probably did to some degree)
@ansonyuu AT&T would be an interesting one
Atlas is autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly, using ML to detect and localize the environment fixtures and individual bin. There are no prescribed or teleoperated movements. youtu.be/F_7IPm7f1vI
@jasminewsun so the word “taste” describes both a fifth and a sixth sense
@ericjang11 @1x_tech Curious — what’s up with all the purple? Flipped channels? (Or something more interesting?)
Already know some cheeky grad student is gonna use “Concepts of a Plan” as part of their next paper’s title
The holy grail of graphics (via Ivan Sutherland’s “The Ultimate Display”)
