Nvidia’s new Cosmos world models
At SIGGRAPH 2025, Nvidia unveiled a new generation of tools and models aimed at advancing physical AI and robotics. The centerpiece is Cosmos world models, designed to transform real-world data into digital twins and intelligent autonomous agents – supported by new Omniverse libraries. A key highlight is Cosmos Reason, a 7-billion-parameter vision-language model built to […]
Figure 02 can now fold laundry
Figure released a video showing its humanoid robot Figure 02 folding towels completely autonomously – without any teleoperation or pre-programmed commands. Instead, it relies solely on its proprietary neural architecture called Helix. The footage clearly shows Figure 02 grasping, folding, and stacking towels neatly in real household conditions – inside the company founder’s home, without […]
These robot dogs are training for Mars
Researchers from Oregon State University conducted five-day field tests of four-legged robot dogs in White Sands National Park, simulating extreme and unpredictable conditions similar to those on Mars. These robotic dogs are being developed as autonomous scouts and astronaut partners, with the ability to map terrain, suggest optimal sampling locations, and support human researchers. Thanks […]
