AUTOMATION HISTORY

Neuracore, a British robot learning platform to scale and deploy faster, has closed a €2.5 million ($3 million) pre-Seed funding round to fuel team expansion, accelerate product development, and support Neuracore’s growth. The round was led by Earlybird Venture Capital, with participation from Clem Delangue (Co-founder & CEO at Hugging Face) and advisors spanning academia, hardware, and AI. “After years in academic and industrial robotics, I saw every team – from research labs to warehouse automation startups – rebuilding the same infrastructure from scratch,” says Stephen James, founder and CEO. “Our mission is to eliminate that duplication and democratise access to high-performance robot learning tools. With this funding and our free academic programme, we’re enabling both researchers and companies to focus on advancing robotics itself, not on building the pipelines to support it.” Neuracore’s pre-Seed round sits within a steadily active 2025 European robotics and physical-AI landscape, where several startups have secured funding across adjacent segments. In Sweden, Stockholm-based Rerun raised €15.6 million to advance multimodal data infrastructure for robotics and autonomous systems. Switzerland saw two sizeable rounds: Zürich’s Flexion secured €43 million to develop reinforcement-learning “brains” for humanoid robots, while mimic closed €13.8 million to expand its dexterous robotic-hand technology. Germany’s Energy Robotics raised €11.5 million for autonomous inspection software for industrial sites, while Italy’s Adaptronics attracted €3.15 million to scale its adaptive gripper technology. Together, these 2025 rounds represent approximately €86 million in disclosed capital across companies building data infrastructure, robotic intelligence layers, and advanced manipulation hardware. Within this context, Neuracore’s focus on robot-learning infrastructure aligns with the increasing investor interest in foundational robotics software rather than solely application-layer systems. Although no UK-based robotics infrastructure company appears alongside these examples, the cluster of European funding rounds indicates a wider continental shift toward platforms that standardise data handling, training, and deployment for robotics teams. Laura Waldenstrom, Principal at Earlybird Venture Capital, adds: “The robotics industry is at an inflection point, moving from the ROS 1.0 era to a data-first paradigm powered by deep learning. Teams are still wasting months building and maintaining their own infrastructure instead of focusing on deployment. Neuracore provides what AWS did for web applications: a reliable, scalable platform that just works. We’re thrilled to support Stephen’s vision to become the infrastructure layer for the coming wave of intelligent robotics.” Founded in 2024 by Stephen James, Assistant Professor of Robot Learning at Imperial College London, Neuracore is building the core infrastructure powering the next generation of intelligent robots. Its platform enables robotics teams to go from data collection to deployed machine learning models in “days not months“, eliminating the bottlenecks that currently consume up to 80% of engineering time. Neuracore explains that their software stack replaces fragmented ‘Frankenstein’ robotics setups with a unified, cloud-based system that handles asynchronous data collection, visualisation, training, and deployment. By integrating the full robot learning pipeline into one platform, Neuracore helps teams focus on innovation rather than infrastructure. The platform is being used by over 50 organisations across commercial and academic robotics, including partnerships with hardware manufacturers. Alongside the funding, Neuracore is launching a free academic programme. This programme gives universities and research institutions worldwide unrestricted access to the full enterprise platform, or in other words, the same infrastructure used by its commercial customers. “Academic researchers are building the foundation for tomorrow’s robots,” James adds. “They shouldn’t waste months setting up data pipelines – they should be innovating. We want Neuracore to be the backbone that lets them do that.” As per data provided by the company – by 2030, the AI-powered robotics sector is projected to exceed €43 billion ($50 billion), driven by advances in deep learning and real-world robot deployment. Yet, Neuracore says most robotics teams remain limited by infrastructure constraints, often spending months integrating disparate systems for data logging, training, and deployment. Neuracore’s platform aims to solve this by providing purpose-built infrastructure optimised for robotics workflows – from asynchronous data streaming and ML-native storage to one-click deployment and continuous improvement loops. With its new academic programme, Neuracore aims to close the accessibility gap between research and industry. Universities and robotics labs will now have free, unlimited access to the full platform, enabling faster experimentation, collaboration, and reproducibility across institutions.

This thesis introduces a learning-based framework to improve the efficiency and scalability of Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) for robotic manipulation tasks in cluttered and complex environments. Traditional TAMP methods face significant challenges due to the high computational cost of repeated geometric feasibility checks and the combinatorial explosion of the search space, especially in multi-robot settings. To address these issues, two deep learning-based models are proposed: AGFPNet, which predicts the feasibility of manipulation actions to reduce reliance on geometric planners, and GRN, which leverages graph neural networks and scene graphs to provide interpretable and generalizable feasibility predictions, including the causes of action failure. These models are further extended to support collaborative multi-robot scenarios and complex, mesh-shaped objects. Building on these models, the thesis proposes a multi-robot, feasibility-informed TAMP algorithm that integrates learned geometric reasoning into a search-based planner. This integration enables faster exploration of the search space by prioritizing promising actions and avoiding infeasible ones. Additionally, a novel informed backtracking mechanism uses predicted infeasibility causes to refine planning constraints and heuristics. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly accelerates planning, improves scalability, and maintains generalizability, even in highly cluttered or large-scale environments. Cette thèse propose une approche basée sur l'apprentissage automatique pour améliorer l’efficacité et la scalabilité de la planification de tâches et de mouvements (Task and Motion Planning, TAMP) dans des environnements complexes et encombrés. Les approches TAMP traditionnelles sont confrontées à des défis importants en raison du coût computationnel élevé des vérifications répétées de faisabilité géométrique, ainsi que de l’explosion combinatoire de l’espace de recherche, notamment dans des contextes multi-robots. Pour surmonter ces limitations, deux modèles d’apprentissage profond sont introduits : AGFPNet, un réseau de neurones permettant de prédire la faisabilité des actions de manipulation afin de limiter les appels coûteux aux planificateurs géométriques ; et GRN, un réseau de neurones exploitant des représentations de scènes 3D sous forme de graphes pour fournir des prédictions inter! prétables et généralisables, y compris les causes d’infaisabilité des actions. Ces modèles sont également étendus aux scénarios multi-robots et à la manipulation d’objets de formes complexes (maillés). À partir de ces modèles, la thèse présente un algorithme TAMP multi-robots guidé par les prédictions de faisabilité, qui intègre le raisonnement géométrique par apprentissage au sein d’un planificateur classique. Cette intégration permet d’explorer l’espace de recherche plus efficacement en priorisant les actions prometteuses et en évitant les actions infaisables. Un nouveau mécanisme de backtracking informé est également proposé, exploitant les causes d’infaisabilité pour définir des contraintes de planification et affiner les heuristiques de coût vers l’objectif. Des expérimentations approfondies démontrent que cette approche permet de résoudre des tâches de manipulation complexes avec des horizons de planification longs, dans des environnements fortement encombrés, tout en réduisant considérablement les temps de planification.

Elon Musk has shared an exciting update about Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus. A video shared by Tesla shows the Optimus robot learning new tasks by watching humans do them, just like we do when watching tutorial videos. For those wondering why this matters, it’s a big change from the old way of programming robots. It brings Optimus closer to acting like a human trainee. By learning from everyday actions, the robot could become far more useful and learn new things much faster. Musk says Tesla wants Optimus to study real-world videos, like those on YouTube, and then use what it sees to perform similar tasks on its own. Engineering lead at Tesla, Milan Kovac, says this breakthrough has already helped the robot pick up jobs like vacuuming, sorting items, stirring food, or taking out the rubbish. This new learning method means Optimus no longer needs detailed programming for every single task. Instead, it can copy from human examples and be told what to do with simple voice or text commands. Musk believes this could give Optimus “task extensibility,” meaning it could learn almost anything very quickly if shown the right videos. So far, Tesla has shown Optimus doing tasks in short clips — from cleaning and putting things together to even dancing. However, earlier demos faced criticism, as some people believed many of these actions were actually being controlled by humans rather than done by the robot itself.Despite the doubts, Musk believes this way of learning from videos is a key turning point. He has called Optimus “the biggest product of all time” and even thinks it could become more valuable than Tesla’s car business in the future. He expects the robot to be made on a large scale, with possible use in Tesla factories as soon as late 2025, or maybe earlier if progress continues quickly.What could this mean going forward? Instead of coding every single move, developers might simply have Optimus watch a set of instructions — whether it’s a cooking video or a guide to folding clothes — and then simply copy it. In theory, the robot could learn just like a person: by watching, imitating, and improving.Still, many experts point out that Tesla’s current robots are less skilled with fine hand movements and walking compared to leaders like Boston Dynamics. While the idea is promising, critics say there’s still a long way to go before we see a truly general-purpose robot that works well in homes or workplaces.- EndsPublished By: Aman rashidPublished On: Aug 6, 2025Also read | Nostalgia max: Prince of Persia remake is coming and it is a big deal for gamers in IndiaAlso read | Xiaomi 15 Ultra review: A chonky camera kingAlso read | Vivo V50e review: No thrills, but plenty of value Despite the doubts, Musk believes this way of learning from videos is a key turning point.

However, traditional dynamic simulations and experiments lack the high efficiency required to analyze the perching and design the robot. This paper develops an efficient machine learning framework to predict vertical-wall perching success for flying robots with spines, overcoming traditional methods’ inefficiency. A validated knowledge-based model computes the robot’s transient dynamics during high-speed perching, identifying key success factors. By training the mixed sample data, a data-driven model has been proposed to predict the success or failure of an arbitrary perching event. Here, we show that this high-precision prediction optimizes robot control and structural parameters, ensuring stable perching while drastically reducing the time and cost of conventional design approaches, advancing the flying robot capabilities. Perching is an innate ability of animals, which means they can land and stay on a branch or another suitable surface. For example, flies can land upside down on a ceiling1, gliding geckos crash into tree trunks with their tails to stabilize landing2, and bats land on the tops of caves to rest3. Meanwhile, creatures have evolved a variety of methods for landing, perching, locomotion, and take-off to adapt to various irregular natural and artificial surfaces4. In contrast to animals, the perching approach of robots (especially aircraft) for surfaces is tougher, a flat ground is necessary. However, having these perching abilities similar to animals can help expand the use of the robots in extreme environments and improve their mobility, robustness, and working time5,6. For instance, in search-and-rescue operations, perching mechanisms would allow drones to land on walls or power lines, enabling persistent environmental monitoring from vantage points while conserving power7. Consequently, achieving reliable perching capability on non-horizontal surfaces has emerged as a significant research frontier in aerial robotics. The optimization challenges pertaining to pitch angle, velocity, and lift force during avian perching8 are equally encountered in developing perching technologies for aerial robots. Zufferey and Tormo-Barbero9 presented a process to autonomously land an ornithopter on a branch. This method explains the combined operation of a pitch-yaw-altitude flapping flight controller, an optical close-range correction system, and a bistable claw appendage design that can grasp a branch within 25 milliseconds and reopen. Guo, Tang et al.10 developed an actuated modular landing gear system achieving stable perching and resting of UAVs on diverse structures. Roderick, Cutkosky, and Lentink11 designed a biomimetic robot achieving dynamic perching on complex surfaces with concurrent grasping of irregular objects, demonstrating that closed-loop balance control critically expands viable perching parameter ranges. Hsiao, Bai et al.12 presented a flying robot achieving perching on diverse substrates – including wet/dry overhangs and walls – via an ultralight attachment module constituting merely 3.3% of total mass. Liu, Tian et al.13 proposed a contact-adaptable robot for perching featuring all-in-one electroadhesive pads, enabling ceiling surface attachment and significant onboard energy conservation. Liu, Dong et al.14 developed a multifunctional aerial manipulation system using a composite cup structure (soft inner cup + rigid outer shell), enabling execution of perching or lateral aerial grasping tasks while reducing reliance on precise control through the soft cup’s adaptability to multicopter-induced angular errors. While the aforementioned studies have made substantial progress in developing and characterizing novel perching mechanisms, no research to date has established predictive frameworks for perching. Nevertheless, perching—which involves rapid maneuvers and is subject to strict velocity constraints—remains one of the most critical challenges for flying robots. This is largely because the inability to predict unsuccessful landings on vertical surfaces is highly likely to result in severe damage to the robot15. Establishing a predictive framework for perching would therefore greatly enhance the success rate of wall-perching maneuvers and reduce the losses associated with landing failures. To predict the wall-perching effect and design the structure configuration of the flying robot with spines, people have recourse to traditional dynamic simulation16 and experimental method14 at present. However, traditional dynamic simulations lack the high efficiency required to handle the substantial computational workload. Furthermore, the limited simulation results are difficult to form the practical control strategies for perching. Similarly, the observation of a limited amount of experimental data from perching experiments is insufficient for the design of flying robots. Fortunately, machine learning, as a part of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, offers a promising solution for providing robots with perching experience and improving their capabilities. This potential will be realized through advanced ML implementations, as demonstrated by recent breakthroughs in flight control domains. The integration of machine learning (ML) into flight systems to enhance autonomous capabilities has reached a sophisticated level of maturity such as Kaufmann, Bauersfeld et al.17 presented a champion-level autonomous racing system employing deep reinforcement learning fusing simulated training with physical vehicle telemetry. Ouahouah et al.18 proposed an obstacle avoidance algorithm for UAVs based on probability and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). Recently, ML-driven perching control studies for horizontal surfaces or non-horizontal surfaces are constituting a rapidly evolving frontier. Waldock, Greatwood et al.19 implemented a DRL framework integrating a nonlinear constraint optimizer (IPOPT) with a DQN agent to compute perching trajectories for horizontal surfaces. This approach derives optimal pre-contact pitch/velocity parameters that guarantee structurally stable perching on horizontal surfaces. de Croon, De Wagter et al.20 proposed a machine learning method enabling flying robots to acquire optical-flow-based strategies for complex tasks such as landing, resulting in faster, smoother landings. Ladosz et al.21 employed visual sensing and DRL, incorporating a Deep Regularized Q-learning algorithm and a custom-designed reward scheme to enable autonomous landing of UAV systems on moving platforms. Habas and Cheng15 replicated fly landing behaviors in micro-quadcopters using a generalizable control policy for arbitrary ceiling-approach conditions. Their framework employs reinforcement learning in simulation to optimize discrete sensorimotor pairs across diverse approach velocities/directions, with the first-stage “Flip-Trigger” control implementing a one-class support vector machine (SVM). Despite these advances, no existing ML addresses the challenge of predicting wall-perching outcome while co-designing robot structures − a critical capability for designing flying robotics in complex environments. In this work, to bridge this gap, a machine learning-based framework for the wall-perching prediction and design of the flying robot with spines is developed in this paper. The framework synthesizes the machine learning, computational impact dynamics and experiment. Firstly, an accurate knowledge-based model, validated for accuracy through experimentation, has been developed to calculate the transient responses of the flying robot during perching. The key factors that influence the success rate of perching at relatively low landing speeds are identified. Then, a flying robot prototype is constructed to conduct the perching experiment. In addition, the mixed sample datasets are obtained, comprising experimental data from perching experiments and simulation data computed using the knowledge-based model. By training the mixed sample datasets, a data-driven model is established to predict the success or failure of an arbitrary perching event. The results of this study can aid in designing flying robots and preventing perching failure. To achieve the landing and climbing functions, a spiny flying and wall-climbing robot is designed based on the multimodal robotic design philosophy5. The whole robot is composed of three subsystems, namely the flight system, landing system, and attachment system (Fig. 1a). Here, the flight system mainly consists of a micro quadcopter, which can provide the robot with flying capability. The landing system consists of two flexible tail structures connected by a transverse beam with two wheels (Fig. 1a). During landing, the tail will make initial contact with the vertical wall. The huge impact force is reduced thanks to the large structure compliance of the tail we designed. The attachment system is designed with two carbon fiber rods with spines (Supplementary Figs. 1, 2). The spine morphology exhibits structural similarity to beetle tarsal claws15. Due to the very tiny tip of the spine, it can crawl stably on the wall. a The structure composition of the robot including attachment, flight and landing systems. b Robot flies approaching wall, where v0 and θ0 are the initial horizontal incidence velocity and initial pitch of flying robot, respectively. c The robot contacts the wall by its tail, where αB is the robot’s body acceleration. d The robot executes an upward flip action, where vB is the velocity of the mass center of the robot. e The robot grasps and perches the wall. The robot achieves perching through four designed stages (Fig. 1b-e). In the first stage, the robot approaches the vertical wall using its flight system. Then, the second stage is a contact-impact phase, where the robot uses its flexible tail rods to impact the wall. Subsequently, it enters the third stage (i.e., rotation stage). The robot’s wheel contacts the wall, and then the entire robot body rotates upwards around the wheel. In the fourth stage, the robot uses spines in its attachment system to climb on the wall, and the whole perching process is completed. Although the attachment system (Fig. 1a) can help the robot climb on the wall, this paper focuses on the landing and perching problems of the robot. For detailed descriptions of the spine structure and wall-climbing mechanism, please refer to the Supplementary Note 1. To analyze the landing and perching behavior of the robot, humans resort to a contact-impact dynamic model naturally. This model is a typical knowledge-driven model based on the principles of impact dynamics of a flexible multibody system. In this study, the model is discretized using the finite element method (FEM) (Fig. 2a), and calculations are performed in the LS-DYNA software. We use this model to evaluate the success or failure of perching in different maneuvering states before landing. The numerical results guide the experiments and are used to build the subsequent data-driven model, which will be discussed the next section. a Discrete model based on FEM, which is used to solve the contact-impact problem during the landing event. b Displacement of the spine under three sets of initial landing conditions with lift strengthening (I indicates θ0=−5° and v0=0.4 m/s; II indicates θ0=−5° and v0=0.8 m/s; III indicates θ0=−10° and v0=0.8 m/s). The solid and short dash lines are the displacements in the x and z direction, respectively. The symbol star represents the occurrence of collision between the spine and wall. c The lift curves during the landing event for receding cases. d The lift curves during the landing event for strengthening cases. e The resultant velocity of the spine during the landing process for 4 typical landing behaviors. The success and failure envelop regions (i.e., the green and red areas) that we summarized for the landing events under 114 sets of initial landing conditions are also shown. The three values in legend in this figure are pitch of flying robot θ0,initial horizontal incidence velocity v0 and lift FL, respectively (where LR means lift receding and LS means lift strengthening). f The robot undergoes a fixed-axis rotation where the rotation center is the contact point of the tail during the “perfect landing” process. g The robot body flips upward using the wheels as the rotation center during the “perfect landing” process. h The wheel separates from the wall and then contacts it again during the “normal landing” process. i The maximum von-Mises stress appears at the root of the landing rod when the robot contacts the wall. j The maximum von-Mises stress appears in the connecting piece. If the high velocity causes excessive stress, the structure will be damaged. k Configuration of robot when it is in the success perching state on the wall. The numerical simulations for 114 cases of maneuver states before landing have been performed. The alterable parameters of maneuver states include initial pitch of the flying robot θ0, the initial horizontal incidence velocity v0 and the lift FL. Figure 2b illustrates the displacement of the spine after the tail contacts the wall, which was calculated based on the knowledge-driven model. The peaks of the dashed curves represent the quick release of deformation energy from the tail. In Fig. 2b, when the positive direction of the X-axis rotates counterclockwise to align with the robot’s axis, θ0 is defined as positive. Conversely, when the rotation is in the opposite direction, θ0 is considered negative. The other attitude angles and flying velocities are all equal to zero. It should be noted that the lift FL is an active force, it will be controlled during the contact-impact process. It is set as an increasing or decreasing linear function of time t (Fig. 2c, d) to analyze the effect of FL on the success of landing. The gravity is a constant value during the whole landing process. By our computation for 114 cases based on the knowledge-driven model, it can be found that there are 4 types of typical landing behaviors (Fig. 2e). And regardless of what the initial conditions are, the resultant velocities of spine always experience multiple oscillations since the tail occurs obvious vibration under contact-impact. Figure 2e also shows the envelop regions that are summarized from 114 landing events corresponding to the 114 data points in section “Data-driven model for perching”. The green area means the robot landed successfully while red and purple areas mean robot failed to land (LR means lift receding and LS means lift strengthening). Meanwhile, some simultaneous robot postures and stress states during the landing are also given. From Fig. 2e the 4 types of typical landing behaviors can be summarized as follows: Perfect landing (success). The characteristic feature of such landing behavior is that the robot’s mass center trajectory approximates a semicircular path, with negligible body sway after attachment. The corresponding mass center velocity is indicated by the black curve in Fig. 2e. To get these results, the robot must have the most ideal landing state before contacting the wall. i.e., the robot almost flies horizontally, (−8° < θ0 < −5°) and the sum of velocity of the mass center and the pitch are mid-value (0.6 m/s <θ0 <0.8 m/s). Then, the tail contacts the surface (Fig. 2f) and it occurs bending deformation. Then, the robot performs a fixed-axis rotation where the rotation center is the contact point of the tail. The tail does not keep in contact with the wall until the wheels contact with the wall. Then, the robot body flips upwards (Fig. 2g) using the wheels as the rotation center. Finally, the robot’s spines grasp the surface and attach successfully. Normal landing (success). The characteristic feature of such landing behavior is that the robot’s mass center trajectory approximates a horseshoe-shaped path, with significant body sway after attachment. The corresponding mass center velocity is indicated by the blue curve in Fig. 2e. To achieve this landing process, the robot requires the initial states of −5° < θ0 < − 2° for the angle and 0.8 m/s < v0<1.0 m/s for the velocity before contacting the wall. Subsequently, the robot performs a plane motion to achieve upward flips. However, the wheel undergoes a transition between contact and separation with the wall (Fig. 2h) during the entire upward motion. Finally, the wheel will contact the wall again at the end of the landing process. In other words, the wheel makes contact twice during the landing process. Low-kinetic energy landing (failure). This typical behavior and landing process is shown as the red curve in Fig. 2e. The initial conditions for this landing behavior are v0<0.4 m/s and θ0>−4°. Since the initial kinetic energy is low, the robot cannot perform an upward flip motion, despite the fact that the lift of the quadrotor aircraft is sufficient and its tail does not rebound from the wall. The robot will execute an upward straight motion parallel to the wall surface. Rebound landing (failure). This landing behavior has two forms of rebound landing. The first is when the robot achieves an upward flip motion, but the spine rebounds when it contacts the wall due to the large contact force at the spine. This typical behavior and landing process are shown by the purple curve in Fig. 2e. In this case, the initial conditions are generally v0>1.0 m/s and θ0<−10°. The failure is caused by the spine’s inability to grasp the wall tightly. The second form is when the robot directly rebounds as the tail contacts the wall, preventing it from achieving an upward flip motion. In this case, the initial conditions are generally v0>1.0 m/s and θ0>−2°. The occurrence probability of this form is very low because θ0 is generally less than −2° during the actual flight of the robot under artificial operation. Besides, Fig. 2i–j shows the stress concentration phenomenon in the structure of the landing system. The critical areas where structural failure can occur are primarily located in the root zone of the tail. Overall, the conditions such as initial velocity, initial pitch, and lift of the robot have very complicated effects on landing behavior and the landing process. They sometimes work together to achieve successful landings (Fig. 2k), but other times they conflict with each other and lead to landing failures. It is more intuitive to understand that if the velocity is slower and the absolute value of the pitch angle is smaller, lift assistance is required. On the other hand, if the velocity is faster and the absolute value of the pitch angle is greater, increasing lift may cause the robot to rebound from the wall surface. However, these relationships are not absolute. Therefore, one of the greatest challenges in landing on a vertical wall is predicting success or failure. Through our calculations, it has been determined that the time required for each computation using the knowledge-driven model is substantial. Moreover, it is impractical to exhaustively explore all working conditions and control parameter combinations using this method. On a computer equipped with an Intel CPU 6700 K and DDR4 16GB RAM, the cost of each landing process generally requires around 48 h. Thus, there is an urgent need for an efficient and accurate calculation model to enable numerical evaluation of all landing conditions. Fortunately, the emergence of machine learning methods has made this achievable. A comprehensive discussion on this topic will be presented in the section titled “Data-driven model for perching”. In the experiment of landing on the wall, the robot firstly takes off from a horizontal surface and then is operated randomly to land on the wall, with different initial pitch of flying robot θ0,initial horizontal incidence velocity v0 and lift FL. The video of the experiments were recorded to obtain experimental data (Supplementary Figs. 3, 4). For more details about the process of experiment, refer to Supplementary Note 2. The parameters, including θ0, v0 and FL, were intentionally varied before colliding with the wall to provide a diverse range of experimental results for machine learning in subsequent chapters. This experimental data serves two main purposes: firstly, it can be used to validate the accuracy of the computational results obtained from the knowledge-driven model. Additionally, it can be utilized to identify general patterns in the landing behavior by observing the robot’s actual landing event. Figure 3 shows the experimental images of 4 typical landing behaviors. The video of the continuous movement of the flying robot can be viewed in the Supplementary Movie 1. The movement trajectories for perfect landing (success), normal landing (success), low-kinetic energy landing (failure), and rebound landing (failure) are depicted in Fig. 3a–g, respectively. It has been observed that the detailed characteristics captured by the experiment are consistent with those summarized by the numerical evaluation. Figure 3h–k represents the velocities of the mass center and the pitches of the robot during the perfect landing and rebound landing processes, respectively. During the perfect landing, the pitches change linearly to a constant value, while in the rebound landing, the pitches change non-linearly from negative to positive. a The motion track for the perfect landing (success). b The tail contacts the surface during the perfect landing (success). c The wheels contact with the wall during the perfect landing (success). d The robot’s spines grasp the surface and attach during the perfect landing (success). e The motion track for the normal landing (success). f The motion track for the low-kinetic energy landing (failure). g The motion track for the rebound landing (failure). h The velocities of the robot’s mass center during the perfect landing (success).

The control parameters have a great influence on the landing responses. Due to its high cost and time consumption, merely a limited number of landing experiments can be conducted, and the experimental data under a limited set of control parameters can be recorded. It is hard to conduct experiments covering all working conditions. Nevertheless, the limited experimental results are still valuable, which can be used as sample data for establishing the data-driven model in the next section. Generally, “learning for simulation” is a traditional idea in AI fields. Recently, some scientists have hypothesized that “simulation for learning” may be one trend in computer graphic science22. Here, based on mixed samples including computational data obtained from a knowledge-driven model and experimental data, we have established a data-driven model to predict the landing of a robot. In this work, we propose a technique that combines simulations based on knowledge-driven models and machine learning based on data-driven models, in order to leverage the best aspects of both. The entire training and prediction process is shown in Fig. 4, and includes the following 5 steps: a Simulation for robot landing based on the knowledge-driven model. b Actual experiment for robot landing. c Extreme state when the robot is out of control. d Data points obtained from simulations based on the knowledge-driven model and actual experiments under different lift forces. e Data-driven model of landing behavior is established after training using machine learning. f If the data-driven model predicts a failure in landing, the robot will abort the landing, fly away from the wall, and prepare for another landing attempt. g The robot perform a new landing. When it approaches the landing surface again, predictions are conducted once more through the data-driven model. h The robot lands on the wall if the data-driven model predicts a successful landing. Step 1: Preliminary structural design of the robot. The preliminary design of the robot and its landing strategy are based on Newton mechanics theory. Step 2: Achievement of data sets. An accurate three-dimensional finite element model (i.e., knowledge-driven model) is established to simulate the landing of the robot (Fig. 4a). The computation work of the contact-impact dynamic responses is performed in the software LS-DYNA. Through the computation for 114 cases of maneuvering states, the landing results are obtained. The actual landing experiments with the robot prototypes have also been conducted (Fig. 4b). To define the boundaries of our dataset (Fig. 4c), we identify data points corresponding to invalid states, including out-of-control events. This dataset is composed of the robot’s pitch degree, velocity, lift data, and success/failure outcomes extracted from both computational and experimental results (Fig. 4d and Supplementary Data 1). Step 3: Establishment of the data-driven model. To ensure the machine learning framework achieves effective landing predictions for different lift modes, the dataset is divided into two parts based on lift receding and lift strengthening. Each part contains two features: initial horizontal velocity and initial angle. The dataset is then distributed within a three-dimensional feature space composed of initial horizontal velocity, initial angle, and lift mode (Fig. 4e), representing landing outcomes under various initial conditions. Additionally, there is no noise in the dataset, hence the noise reduction is not required. Step 4: Training. After training with the machine learning models, a decision boundary for Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) and Random Forest (RF) (i.e. hyperplane for Support Vector Machine) is generated in the landing feature space under different lift conditions (Fig. 4e). The data points representing successful landings are separated from those representing failed landings by the decision boundary. The farther a data point is from the boundary within the decision boundary, the higher the probability of a successful prediction by the model, and the greater the confidence of the robot in a successful landing. By adjusting the model parameters that affect the construction of the decision boundary, we can obtain the optimal model with the highest confidence in its predictions. Step 5: Prediction. According to the training results, when the robot is in a landing situation, the success or failure of landing will be predicted by the data-driven model, and the subsequent behavior of the robot will be determined. In the future actual application of perching, if the prediction result computed by onboard computer indicates failure, the two motors near the wall accelerate their rotational velocity to cause the robot to decelerate, then the robot will adjust its flight states in real-time to fly away from the wall (Fig. 4f) and seek a new landing opportunity (Fig. 4g). Conversely, if the prediction result indicates success, the two motors located away from the wall accelerate their rotational velocity to make the robot flip upwards, and the robot will directly land on the wall (Fig. 4h). The entire computational process is following: After the primary selection of data collected from the robot’s sensors, certain influential factors that affect the success or failure of landing can be determined manually. These influential factors can be employed as dimensions within the dataset. These influences can be interconnected with each other, and there is no limit to the number of dimensions. Both simulated and experimental data samples are utilized to construct datasets. Generally, a larger dataset will yield more accurate prediction results. However, if the selected range of the sample data can encompass all various scenarios and its distribution in the state space is more uniform, even a smaller dataset can still achieve desirable outcomes. The proportion of simulated and experimental data can be adjusted after estimating the time and cost considerations. Generally, simulated data is less expensive and more efficient. When the robot encounters a new scenario, we can instantly predict the outcome, allowing the robot to respond accordingly based on the prediction result. Ultimately, this enables the robot to intelligently handle various new challenges related to perching. This paper employed the Python language to develop the machine learning program. In this study, the datasets were obtained under proper surface conditions, which are sufficient for the robot to land easily. For soft surfaces with low rugosity, the proper condition is when the surface Brinell hardness is less than 2. Many tree bark surfaces can satisfy this condition. For hard wall surfaces, a high level of rugosity is required. Our tests indicate that the surface static coefficient of friction μ approximately needs to be greater than 0.2, and there should be at least a 20% difference between static and dynamic friction. After preparing the dataset, our goal is to ensure that the machine learning method achieves high prediction accuracy. Therefore, we need to optimize the data-driven model. During the model training process, we use the same dataset and continuously adjust the parameters of the generated model in order to identify the best parameter configuration (for SVM and RF) that yields high prediction accuracy. In this way, we are able to find the optimal model. Specifically, the landing success region and failure region are distinguished by the decision boundary. The accuracy of the decision boundary is determined by the ratio of the correctly classified data to the total dataset. Be different from SVM and RF, MLP do not need to identify the best parameter configuration. Figure 5 presents wall-perching results calculated using data-driven models based on MLP, SVM, and RF methods, respectively. Each model predicts outcomes across three dimensions: lift force, pitch angle, and initial velocity. The lift curves illustrated in Fig. 2c, d remain employed here, the hybrid dataset (Fig. 5a, b) used for training combines simulation results from our knowledge-driven model with experimental data. Figure 5c–h displays prediction results from MLP, SVM and RF, respectively. These results demonstrate that regardless of the machine learning method, the decision boundary envelope encompasses a larger successful perching region when lift generation is present, indicating that providing lift enhances landing success rates for flying robots. Comparative analysis reveals considerable differences among the three methods’ predictions, with MLP demonstrating relatively superior performance over SVM and RF. Detailed descriptions of the data-driven models and corresponding machine learning methods are provided in Supplementary Note 3. a Mixed dataset under lift receding obtained using a knowledge-driven model and experiment. b Mixed dataset under lift strengthening obtained using a knowledge-driven model and experiment. c The decision boundary obtained by the MLP model under lift receding. d The decision boundary obtained by the MLP model under lift strengthening. e The decision boundary obtained by the SVM model under lift receding. f The decision boundary obtained by the SVM model under lift strengthening. g The decision boundary obtained by the RF model under lift receding. h The decision boundary obtained by the RF model under lift strengthening. The machine learning-based framework can not only predict the landing, but also guide the design of the flying robot. In the initial design phase, some basic premise need to be considered for achieve the successful landing and perching on the wall, including the following points: 1) The mass of robot should be as light as possible; 2) The structure where the robot collide with the wall needs to have a certain buffering capacity to reduce the impact load; 3) The landing structure is beneficial for the robot to flip up from the horizontal state to the vertical state after collision, so as to achieve successful grasping. Therefore, in view of these three requirements, the overall structure of the robot was preliminarily designed according to the existing experience and knowledge. Compared with other structures, the landing rod is particularly critical for the successful landing of robots. In this paper, the landing rod structure was preliminarily designed as a flexible carbon fiber rod structure. Compared with other forms of buffer structure, its biggest advantage is that it has the lightest weight under the same size, and its structural form is the simplest, which is very conducive to the assembly of the structure. On the basis of the initial design, there are still many parameters to be determined, including the length of the landing rod la, the angle α between the landing rod and the horizontal structure of the robot, etc. These parameters directly determine the success or failure of landing. The length of the landing rod la determines the bending flexibility of the structure and the cushioning performance of the structure; The included angle α determines whether the flying robot can flip up at a reasonable speed. Therefore, the detailed closed-loop optimization design of these key parameters will be carried out below. The process of closed-loop optimization design is shown in Supplementary Fig. 5. During the detailed closed-loop optimization design phase, we focused on optimizing the landing rod structure of the robot while keeping other components unchanged. Building upon the initial design, we developed multiple landing rod configurations with varied parameter combinations. The la was incrementally increased from 2 cm to 4 cm in 1 cm steps, while the α was expanded from 20° to 60° in 5° increments, generating numerous parameter permutations. To identify the optimal parameter combination, we employed an iterative approach. This involved comparing machine learning-predicted successful landing zones across different parameter sets until the resulting hyperplane region achieved maximum coverage in the two-dimensional feature space defined by the robot’s initial horizontal velocity and initial angle—thus accomplishing closed-loop structural optimization. Each iteration integrated FEM simulation analysis, physical landing experiments and machine learning to solve the hyperplane zone in its parameter combination. Through this process, we determined the robot’s optimal structural configuration and geometric dimensions (Supplementary Fig. 6 and Supplementary Table 1). Additionally, this study optimized the lift conditions during the robot’s landing phase. Additionally, for the robot designed in this study, the preceding section determined the optimal set of initial horizontal velocities and initial angles for landing by comparing successful landing regions under two distinct control strategies: lift receding and lift strengthening. Subsequently, based on the data-driven model’s predictions of landing success or failure during actual landings, different control strategies can be implemented for the robot. Optimized control is achieved by adjusting the robot’s flight parameters. Although the prediction framework proposed in this paper has only been validated on the flying robot in this design, the closed-loop design analysis mentioned above for the flying robot is also applicable to other wall-perching robots of different structures. That is, through experiments or simulations, obtain a dataset of the relationship between the influencing factors such as speed, posture, and distance of arbitrary robot during its wall-perching and the success of the perching. Then, use the machine learning method employed in this paper to predict the perching success rate under different initial conditions, and further optimize the design of the robot based on the prediction results. We first discuss the efficiency and accuracy of the three machine learning approaches. A comparative analysis revealed that the MLP training time was only about 5 s, whereas SVM, due to the need to search for optimal parameters, had the longest training time of approximately 180 s—36 times that of MLP. Additionally, by examining the decision boundary results predicted by the three methods, it can be observed that compared to MLP’s predictions, SVM and Random Forest exhibited larger errors. Their success regions contained several characteristic points, which corresponded to failure outcomes in both numerical calculations and experimental tests. Conversely, such contradictions were almost absent in the MLP results. Therefore, for the problem addressed in this paper, the MLP method demonstrates relatively higher prediction accuracy. It is widely acknowledged that traditional methods such as the finite element method or the material point method often require a large amount of computational time to simulate a single landing event. This is primarily due to the nature of the landing event, which presents a typical contact-impact problem. To accurately model this problem, a very small time step is necessary for integrating the high-dimensional dynamic differential equations. Additionally, the iterative computations required to address the contact nonlinearity further contribute to the time-consuming nature of the simulations. Simulating all possible scenarios with arbitrary initial angles and velocities of a robot using traditional methods is clearly impractical. Similarly, conducting experiments to test every case is also unfeasible. The experimental process is not only time-consuming but also expensive. It involves extensive preliminary preparation and equipment debugging, and there is also the risk of potential damage to the robot during experiments. In conclusion, whether through experimentation or traditional numerical simulation, simulating the entire range of coverage states is challenging. The machine learning-based framework employed in this paper allows for predicting the complete space, encompassing all possible cases, using a reduced number of data samples, thereby enhancing the efficiency of landing research. Secondly, the primary goal of AI is generally to achieve “learning to simulation”. This concept entails training models using data, enabling them to perform simulations more efficiently without complex manual modeling and algorithm design. In this paper, we also employ AI to build a data-driven model. By utilizing this model, we can predict the success or failure of a robot’s landing and determine its subsequent behavior. This methodology, known as “learning to simulation”, is widely applicable in diverse domains such as computer graphics, robotics, and physics modeling. However, this paper introduces a concept called “simulation to learning”. Unlike the previous work, the data in this study is not solely derived from experiments but also includes simulation data computed by a knowledge-driven model. The combination of this simulation data and experimental data results in mixed data. The main objective of “simulation to learning” is to obtain mixed data. Subsequently, the mixed data is utilized to establish a data-driven model. Ultimately, this data-driven model enables efficient and accurate simulation of all landing events. Our research validates the effectiveness of the “simulation-to-learning” approach. Finally, we discuss the potential issues in practical applications. The current study demonstrates successful perching of the robotic platform under low-speed flight conditions. However, extending this capability to high-speed operations presents several challenges: sensor delays in gyroscopes and accelerometers may cause attitude control lag during landing, while limited motor response could destabilize rapid flight-to-perch transitions. Accelerometer noise during impact may also interfere with contact detection, though filtering algorithms could mitigate this effect. Additionally, the control strategy must address motor overheating during prolonged stall conditions through optimized power-thermal management. These challenges highlight important directions for future research in high-speed robotic perching. This paper focuses on proposing a machine learning-based prediction framework for wall-perching, where the landing experiments aim to collect samples of successful and failed outcomes. Consequently, our experiments solely examine the process from flight state to perched landing, without yet utilizing prediction results to: assess landing success/failure prior to wall contact, guide the robot’s decision on whether to initiate landing, or direct it to steer away from the wall to reorient both pitch angle and initial approach velocity for subsequent perching attempts. Implementing this comprehensive closed-loop process—using our predictive framework as the decision-making core—remains future work, which will establish complete control strategies for aerial robotic wall-perching and lay the groundwork for developing feedback regulation algorithms. In addition, it must be pointed out that the experimental data we used for prediction were measured under relatively ideal laboratory conditions and are not fully applicable to experimental conditions with high interference or smoother walls. Under high interference conditions (such as when the wind is strong), due to the small size of the robot, it will have a significant impact on the stability of flight, thereby affecting the results of landing prediction. However, the grasping structure used by the robot in this study cannot be successfully attached to smooth walls. Therefore, the prediction model proposed in this study is not applicable to the experimental conditions of smooth walls. The UG software was employed to create a detailed 3D model of the robot (Fig. 1). The robot involves three key systems: flight system, landing system, and attachment system. Ultimately, the Crazyflie 2.1 quadrotor flight platform by Bitcraze was selected. The landing system is composed of two carbon fiber rods, two rubber balls, and two wheels. We have carefully adjusted the thickness and angle of the carbon fiber rods to optimize the energy absorption and conversion capabilities during the landing process. The core components of the attachment system are two spines, which consist of micro-scale curvy metal structures. These spines are connected to curved carbon fiber rods, flexible ropes, a horizontal bar, and a T-shaped bar using revolute joints and holes. The connector parts are 3D printed using resin material. In the flight system, in/out servos and extend/retract servos are employed to control the movement of the two spines. The geometric entities are created within the LS-DYNA software (Fig. 2a). The entity consists of two parts: a vertical wall and a robot. The robot itself is divided into six components: quadcopter, servos, carbon fiber frame, connector, spines, and ropes. Firstly, to capture the transient landing deformation, all parts of the robot are modeled as deformable bodies in terms of the material model. The quadcopter, ropes, and servos are simulated using the 003 PLASTIC isotropic material model to represent plastic behavior. The carbon fiber parts utilize the 054 ENHANCED orthotropic material model to simulate the properties of carbon fiber23. On the other hand, the connectors and spine parts are modeled using the 003 PLASTIC isotropic material model to represent resin material. Lastly, the wall is modeled using the 020 RIGID material model to simulate a rigid body. To facilitate the development of the robot’s dynamics equation, we employ the finite element technique to discretize the structure’s deformation field and create a mesh for the flexible parts. The resulting discrete model in LS-DYNA is depicted in Fig. 2a. Prior to meshing, the parts are divided into simpler shapes, and techniques such as sweeping and mapping are utilized to generate high-quality meshes. Additionally, based on knowledge-driven modeling, a combination of regular and hexagonal meshes is employed to ensure accurate results (Fig. 2a). The total number of elements in the model amounts to 58232. Secondly, in the aspect of constraints, all degrees of freedom of the wall are fully constrained, and an automatic surface-to-surface contact algorithm utilizing a penalty function is employed between the robot and the wall. With consideration for computational convenience, neighboring parts are rigidly connected as constraints. Thirdly, in terms of the loads, the lift of the robot is shown in Fig. 2c and d. The application of the lift exists in two situations: the first is that the lift is always the same as the gravity of the robot. The second is that the lift is the same as the gravity before contacting the surface to simulate normal flight, and then the lift increases to twice the gravity after contact with the wall. The direction of the robot’s initial velocity points towards the wall, ranging from 0 m/s to 1.5 m/s, while the robot’s initial pitch ranges from 5° to −15°. The prestress of the flexible rope has little effect on the collision process, so it is ignored in the simulation calculation. Finally, in terms of numerical integration in calculation, the LS-DYNA central difference method is employed to analyze nonlinear explicit dynamics. The size of time step is determined based on the mesh size and set to be Δt = 7.27 × 10−5s. By utilizing the LS-DYNA software solver, the system’s dynamic response is obtained, which includes the collision contact force, the dynamic stress cloud diagram of the structure, the stress curve for each point, the motion process, and other kinematic parameters. In summary, the dimensions and material properties of the finite element model used in the numerical simulation closely match those of the actual robot. The constraint conditions between components and loading scenarios align with experimental configurations. Meanwhile, the meshing strategy and mesh density account for grid sensitivity in computational results. Furthermore, for the impact dynamics problem of the landing/perching process, the simulation incorporates contact constraints between the robot and the wall while employing explicit dynamics algorithms. This approach ensures computational accuracy alongside enhanced efficiency. Collective implementation of these measures guarantees strong agreement between numerical simulation and experimental results. To further validate the consistency between simulations and experimental results, the landing outcomes of simulation and experiment are compared for selected data points, as presented in Supplementary Table 2. For the establishment of the data-driven model in this paper, three distinct machine learning approaches were employed: Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF). MLP is a type of feedforward artificial neural network consisting of an input layer, at least one hidden layer, and an output layer. In an MLP, each layer comprises multiple units. Each unit incorporates a differentiable linear function and an activation function, mapping the input vector of the layer to a scalar output unit. This paper pertains to a binary classification problem with two features: initial velocity and initial angle. The combinations of initial velocity and angle yield a complex non-linear decision boundary (Supplementary Fig. 7). Since MLPs can learn complex interactive relationships between features and thereby fit decision boundaries of intricate shapes, it exhibits high adaptability to the research focus of this paper. Consequently, an MLP model composed of 5 fully connected layers was constructed: Input Layer contains 2 neurons, corresponding to the two features— initial velocity and initial angle. Hidden Layers contain 4 layers with 64, 128, 64, and 32 neurons respectively. The ReLU activation function was applied to these layers to introduce non-linear fitting capability. The Output Layer employs the sigmoid activation function to map the final output to a value representing the probability of a successful landing. After training for 150 epochs, the model has achieved satisfactory predictive performance in determining whether the flying robot successfully lands on the wall for given combinations of initial velocity and angle. SVM is a supervised learning algorithm mainly used for classification and regression analysis. Its core concept involves finding an optimal hyperplane in a high-dimensional feature space to separate data points of different classes while maximizing the minimum distance between the hyperplane and samples of both classes (i.e., maximizing the margin). For linearly inseparable data, SVM maps original features to a higher-dimensional space via the Kernel Trick to achieve linear separability. In the binary classification problem studied in this paper, the combination of initial velocity and initial angle forms a complex nonlinear decision boundary (Supplementary Fig. 8). The SVM method used in this paper employs the RBF kernel, which utilizes Gaussian functions to project data into an implicit high-dimensional space. This approach effectively captures complex feature interactions, enabling flexible fitting of intricate nonlinear decision boundaries. The specific implementation process is as follows: Use grid search combined with leave-one-out cross-validation to find optimal parameters c (regularization parameter) and γ (scaling coefficient of RBF kernel) (Supplementary Table 3). Here, c controls the trade-off between classification errors and margin width—smaller c enhances generalization capability while larger c may cause overfitting; determines the influence range of a single sample—larger values yield more complex decision boundaries. The optimal parameters are determined by maximizing cross-validation accuracy rates, subsequently training the final model. RF is an ensemble learning method based on decision trees, comprising multiple independent decision trees. When performing classification in this paper using a random forest, an input sample flows to each decision tree, and these trees independently predict the sample’s outcome. RF uses the majority vote of classification results from multiple decision trees as the final classification result. This research uses the Gini Index as the feature selection criterion. A smaller Gini Index indicates higher sample purity; therefore, node splitting progresses in the direction of decreasing Gini Index. To achieve better classification performance, hyperparameters such as the maximum depth of decision trees, the maximum number of features considered for splitting a node, and the minimum sample count at leaf nodes and internal nodes are configured. As the number of decision trees critically impacts random forest training results, Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation is employed to determine the optimal number of trees (Supplementary Table 3). After setting these hyperparameters, the original data is input into the random forest for training, yielding the model employed in this paper (Supplementary Fig. 9).

Δ And as a report Monday (March 4) by Bloomberg News notes, the company already has robots working for it, with a humanoid device called Digit moving bins in one of its warehouses. The Bloomberg report focuses on Digit’s maker, a company called Agility Robotics, saying it has “down-to-earth” ambitions at a time when other robotics startups paint their technology as making science-fiction-worthy accomplishments. Agility, on the other hand, plans to build 10,000 robots a year and for warehouses and storerooms worldwide, with the company taking part in an investment boom that has drawn in $1.6 billion in venture capital in the last five years, the report said. “The humanoid robot is as close to a given as I could imagine from a technology,” Adrian Stoch, chief automation officer at GXO Logistics, told Bloomberg. His company has tested Digit at one of its warehouses, and Stoch praised the robot’s potential flexibility, envisioning bots unloading trucks during the night shift so boxes are ready for human employees on the day shift, while the machines take on other duties. Advertisement: Scroll to Continue The report came the same day that Agility announced the hiring of a new CEO, Microsoft and Qualcomm veteran Peggy Johnson. “In a field cluttered with ‘demo-ware’ and hype, Agility stands apart for having resolutely, steadily, and remarkably made a human-centric robot that actually works — and in demanding customer environments,” Johnson said in a news release covering her appointment. Meanwhile, PYMNTS wrote last week about the way advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are leading to robots with better features and more effective human interaction capabilities. For example, Figure AI has reportedly raised $675 million to develop AI-powered humanoid robots, a project backed by investors like Jeff Bezos’ Explore Investments, as well as technology firms such as Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, OpenAI and Intel. “AI can better enable robots to better understand their environments, allowing them to better detect objects and people they come across,” Sarah Sebo, an assistant professor of computer science at the University of Chicago, where she directs the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Lab, told PYMNTS in an interview. “AI can allow robots to generate language to more fluidly communicate with people and respond more intelligently to human speech. Finally, AI can help robots to adapt and learn to perform tasks better over time by receiving feedback, making it more likely that the robot behaves in ways that receive positive feedback and less likely to behave in ways that receive negative feedback.” Trust Wallet Integrates Revolut to Facilitate Crypto Purchases in Europe Terraform Labs Co-Founder Do Kwon Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison Costco’s Digital Sales Surge 21% as Members Maintain Spending Appeals Court Says Judge Must Consider Allowing Apple to Collect Commission We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to partner with innovators and disruptors.

Gold prices trade mixed in last session of 2025 Bitcoin price today: climbs to $89k but set for yearly decline, Q4 losses weigh Oil prices set for biggest annual slump since 2020 as supply glut weighs Asia stocks set for stellar yearly gains as AI boom outweighs trade jitters Within the last year, a major milestone was crossed in robotics agility. From Unitree Robotics to Boston Dynamics, humanoid robots have now outpaced many sci-fi movies featuring fictional CGI robotics. Combined with AI agents that give life to agile robotic platforms, fiction is materializing in real time. Citi Global Insights analysts forecast the humanoid robotics industry to scale up to $7 trillion by 2050. Elon Musk is even more optimistic, having noted mid-2024 that Optimus could eventually churn $10 trillion revenue. As with EVs, it is likely that China will have the bulk share in this growth. After all, China is already ahead of the game, having outpaced both Japan and Germany in industrial robot density, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) report. But outside of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) which firms should investors consider for the AI and robotics boom? In 2021, Hyundai Motor Co (OTC:HYMTF) acquired Boston Dynamics from Japanese SoftBank (TYO:9984) for $880 million. To this day, Boston Dynamics remains the envy of the world when it comes to cutting edge humanoid robots. In late March, Hyundai announced a $21 billion investment into the US between 2025 and 2028, boosting domestic supply chains and car manufacturing. Last week, the Trump admin amended the President’s previous executive order (EO) on 25% vehicle tariffs, enabling up to 15% credit if the cars are US-assembled. In short, Hyundai is positioning to be a major player in robotics and EVs domestically, from supplying vehicles to Waymo to scaling up Boston Dynamics’ envelope-pushing work. Year-to-date, Hyundai stock is down 1.2%, currently priced at $51 per share. According to WSJ, analyst ratings for Hyundai shares are overwhelmingly in the “buy” zone with 20 analysts, while zero analysts are recommending to sell. After merging with Vitesco in October 2024, German Schaeffler AG (ETR:SHA0) has become the leading provider of components in the advanced field of motion technology. Investors may have already seen this application with humanoid robot Digit, built by privately held Agility Robotics. In early March, Agility Robotics and Schaeffler Group announced a strategic partnership, enabling investors to have exposure to Agility Robotics in turn. So far, Agility Robotics seems to be at the forefront of deploying Mobile Manipulation Robots (MMRs) at scale. GXO Logistics, with over 1,000 warehouse sites, is the first to deploy Digit as a part of the emerging Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model. According to MarketsandMarkets, the RaaS sector is heading for a CAGR expansion of 17.4% between 2023 and 2028. Operating alongside human workers, Digits will aid in repetitive tasks with more expansion plans. In addition to Digit, GXO Logistics is also looking into Apptronik’s Apollo humanoid robot, but that company is also privately held. In April’s pre-close call for Q1 2025 earnings, scheduled for May 7th, Schaeffler AG reported €5.9 million in sales in Q4 ‘24, slightly lower than €6.1 million in Q1 ‘24. The company expects strong sales growth in e-mobility (electric drives, controls, mechatronics) and vehicle lifetime solutions (repair & maintenance). Even robots are made by robots, more specifically by industrial robots. This is where Swiss-Swedish ABB (ST:ABB) Group comes in, holding 13.5% market share in the industrial robot market. The company is always expanding its list of partnerships, even sponsoring MassRobotics as the US-centric robotics innovation hub, annually supported by AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and other large companies. Most recently in late April, the company announced its plan to split its ABB Robotics division as of Q2 2026, listing it as a separate company. During 2024, ABB Robotics contributed 7% to ABB Group’s revenue, delivering $2.3 billion. If the plan goes ahead with shareholder approval, they will receive “ABB Robotics” shares as dividend in-kind, proportional to their existing stock stake. In the meantime, ABB’s robots are continuing to be deployed across a wide range of businesses. The fast food sector seems a particularly good match, in order to avoid arbitrary minimum-wage increases. BurgerBots is the most recent such restaurant, opened in Los Gatos, California. If BurgerBots takes off, it is likely that global fast food chains will catch up with their much deeper pockets, and ABB Group will be in the middle of it. Year-to-date, ABB stock is up 2.8% to current price of $55 per share. Per WSJ, the average ABB price target is $58.79, while the top is $78.78 per share. If the ABB Robotics split goes through, shareholders could see a substantial split premium not accounted for in the forecasting. *** Neither the author, Tim Fries, nor this website, The Tokenist, provide financial advice.

Amazon testuje wykorzystanie w swoich magazynach humanoidalnych robotów o wysokości ponad sześciu stóp, co zwiększa obawy co do zwolnień pracowników. Eksperyment zostanie przeprowadzony w ośrodku eksperymentalnym BFI1 firmy Amazon w Sumner w stanie Waszyngton. Robot, znany jako Digit, to dwunożny robot, który jest w stanie chwytać i podnosić przedmioty w magazynach Amazon. Digit ma dwie ręce, dwie nogi, niebieską klatkę piersiową i dwa kwadratowe światła zamiast oczu. Może poruszać się do przodu i do tyłu, obracać się i schylać. Może dosięgnąć, chwycić i podnieść żółte pudełka Amazon. Więcej na temat wprowadzania tego typu systemów w zakładce "Przyszłość pojazdów bezzałogowych": Firma twierdzi, że Digit pomoże pracownikom magazynu w recyklingu toreb, zbierając i przenosząc puste torby po usunięciu wszystkich znajdujących się w nich przedmiotów. Aby stworzyć Digit, spółka zależna Amazona zajmująca się robotyką, Amazon Robotics, nawiązała współpracę ze start-upem technologicznym Agility Robotics. Ten start-up z siedzibą w Oregonie koncentruje się na tworzeniu robotów dla firm logistycznych i magazynowych. Amazon za pośrednictwem funduszu Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund przekazał Agility Robotics kwotę 150 milionów dolarów na pomoc w stworzeniu Digit.

LOGIN 06-07-2024RAPID RESPONSE The Agility Robotics CEO talks humanoids, AR, and startup culture on the latest episode of the ‘Rapid Response’ podcast. [Photo: Agility Robotics] BY Robert Safian In the era of AI, are Hollywood’s threatening sci-fi robots poised to come to life? Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility Robotics, separates hype from reality, explaining how Agility’s humanoid robot, Digit, is entering the industrial workforce today. The former CEO of augmented reality startup Magic Leap, Johnson shares what makes robot tech more tangible than AR and explores the sensitive relationship between robotics and human-held jobs. This is an abridged transcript of an interview from Rapid Response, hosted by the former editor-in-chief of Fast Company Bob Safian. From the team behind the Masters of Scale podcast, Rapid Response features candid conversations with today’s top business leaders navigating real-time challenges. Subscribe to Rapid Response wherever you get your podcasts to ensure you never miss an episode. You became CEO of Magic Leap in the heat of the pandemic. Now you’ve taken on a new CEO role again at Agility. Can you catch us up on how you got here? At Magic Leap, we successfully turned things around. We repointed the company towards enterprise. I felt like I’d done what I came there to do. I think augmented reality is still very early days. It will happen. Even looking at the Apple Vision Pro, it’s going to take some time. And while I love the game-changing aspect of augmented reality, the trajectory is on a slower slope than robotics. And when I saw the opportunity at Agility, it appeared they had product market fit and a huge demand for what they could do—which is putting robots into many open jobs that people don’t want. I felt like that’s the spot for me. So I made the jump and I’m super excited about the space. Humanoids are kind of having a moment right now. There’s this huge tailwind of open jobs that are kind of repetitive, dull, and people don’t want. It’s these jobs that have doubled over the past five years from about 600,000 open jobs to about over a million. When you can’t find humans to do these jobs, humanoids can play that role. There are all kinds of robots that are used in business — a lot of them look like motorized carts or things like that. But Agility has this humanlike robot, that you called Digit. So why is there this sudden burst of attention of humanlike robots? In warehouses, automation has been around for over a decade. But there’s pockets still with humans that are moving a box from a conveyor belt over to an automated put wall. You can think of that as the Achilles’ heel of all of that fantastic automation. Humanoids can work for long hours, they don’t get hurt, they don’t get emotional, they don’t have anything that you have to worry about. When humanoids are deployed, the job for a human is to manage the fleet and the interaction between the robots and the other automated facilities. And that is something that looks more like a career. I’ve seen videos of Digit. Even the videos are a little spooky. What kind of relationships do the human workers have with the robots? We thought a lot about that. For instance, we have a head on Digit. And you can do different things with the eyes, like sparkles and hearts. There is a positive reaction with humans. There is a connection there because of that head and the fact that there are eyes. But mostly, humans and humanoids work separately. The idea of what’s called “collaborative robots” is a little bit further down the line. There’s very high safety standards. Is Digit a “he” . . . A “she”? I refer to it as an “it” oftentimes. But people do want to put characterization on the humanoid robot. We let them do what they’d like. You’re leaning into this industrial use. Is there a vision for Digit to be in retail environments, interacting with customers? Or is that sort of a different track? We’re only starting with these industrial applications because the need is so high. But this is a multipurpose humanoid. So it’s meant to go off into those areas. In fact, we’re already talking to customers in retail and transportation. You’ve seen a few of the consumer robots come and go. Households are pretty messy places. Things inside of a warehouse are much more structured. So the need is greater there. And that’s where we’re going to focus. And that’s where the revenue is. How are you thinking about using AI to change Digit? We’ve been using AI in the form of reinforcement learning. So it’s been part of how we’ve developed Digit. The big opportunity that we see going forward is this idea of Digit’s semantic intelligence. So, giving Digit unstructured commands. The other day, we said, “go pick up all this trash” and Digit looked around, picked up the trash, and put it in the right bins—recycle, paper, or landfill. But going forward, AI is going to help us teach Digit new skills much more quickly. You don’t want to use AI fully to control the robot right now. ‘Cause as we know, it’s not always perfect. And when you have a robot that weighs 160 pounds or so, and has all the torque to lift up heavy things, you want to be controlling that with a known platform. And so, until we’re much further along with AI, we aren’t going to make that swap. You were a first time CEO at Magic Leap. What did you learn from that experience that you’re applying now? Like, what are you doing differently? When I first stepped in at Magic Leap, they were chasing a lot of markets and we narrowed that down. That’s the same here—we get a lot of attention from companies who have innovation departments, for instance. I respect the innovation departments, but if they don’t have an intention to deploy and a problem to solve, we don’t focus there. We pick up and move on. We don’t want to be an interesting demo for someone’s boardroom, frankly. This is not demoware. We’re not doing backflips and making coffee. When you left Microsoft, it was sort of just starting to come out of hibernation in a certain way. And now thanks to co-pilot and the arrangement with OpenAI, things are just cooking over there. Do you ever think about the decision to leave and wonder, “what if I’d stayed?” Actually, never. I loved my time there. I loved working for Satya Nadella. I learned so much from him. He’s clearly an iconic leader, but I remember very clearly the day I made up my mind. It was actually only a few weeks into COVID lockdown at the time. My job in particular slowed down. It was running biz dev, very outwardly facing. I got on planes all the time—that was not available anymore. So I really sat and thought about where I was in my career, and I had always wanted to be a CEO. And I think like a lot of people, you keep saying, “well, if I just had a little more experience here, a little more experience there, then I’ll be ready.” But I started looking. Now that I’ve had the experience at Magic Leap and Agility, I could never see myself going back. I like the startup environment. I like the pace. I like the freedom and the flexibility to make decisions. The bigger the company is, the harder it is to get to a yes or no. And so I love the fast-paced environment at startups. I’m at the point in my career where I can do anything I want. And this is what I want to do. I love it.

Fan)近日在社群發表長文直指，機器人領域仍處於高度混沌狀態，不僅軟硬體迭代節奏失衡，連主流技術路線都可能存在方向性偏誤；在生成式AI於雲端快速擴散、相關類股估值已高度前置之際，機器人若遲遲無法建立可複製的工程與量產方法學，將直接影響投資人對「下一個AI爆發點」的定價框架。他首先把矛頭指向硬體可靠性。儘管Optimus、e-Atlas、Figure、Neo、G1等人形機器人展現精湛工程能力，但日常運行仍面臨過熱、馬達損壞、韌體異常等高頻問題，且錯誤往往不可逆、不可容忍，導致軟體迭代被迫降速，研發更像「靠營運團隊撐住的工程戰」。市場人士解讀，這意味短期瓶頸不在模型參數，而在可維護性、可用率與成本曲線，商業化落地不會線性發生。第二個痛點是行業標準缺失。范麟熙形容機器人領域的基準測試(Benchmarking)近乎失序，硬體平台、任務定義、評分標準、模擬器或真實世界設定均缺乏一致規範，使外界難以比較不同團隊成果，衍生「各自定義基準、各自宣稱最強」的現象；部分展示影片也可能只是多次嘗試

Peggy Johnson, the Silicon Valley veteran who became the chief executive of Agility Robotics earlier this year, told Business Insider that it'd soon be "very normal" for humanoid robots to become coworkers with humans across a variety of workplaces. Many factories in the US are struggling to recruit workers amid a labor shortage that Deloitte predicted could cost the economy as much as $1 trillion by 2030. In January, there were 622,000 manufacturing jobs that hadn't been filled, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Enter the robots. "First in the business-enterprise space because that's where the need is highest. And then, as Digit learns new skills, it'll start to be able to go beyond logistics and manufacturing facilities and eventually, somewhere way down the line, is consumer robots," Johnson said in an interview at the Web Summit tech event in Lisbon earlier this month.

Digit is Agility Robotics' mobile manipulation humanoid robot. It stands at 5-foot-9 and has hands designed to grip and carry objects. Its backward-folding legs allow it to maneuver around a workspace. Digit also has animated LED eyes that act as indicators to its human coworkers to let them know which function it's about to perform next. This year, Digit became the first humanoid robot to be "paid" for performing a job. Agility Robotics signed a multiyear deal with GXO Logistics for Digit to be deployed in its Spanx womenswear factories, with it moving boxes known as totes and placing them onto conveyor belts. Agility Robotics charges a monthly fee, similar to a software-as-a-service model, which includes the Digit robot, its work cell, and the robot's operating software. While Agility Robotics hasn't disclosed the exact amount its Digit robots are paid, the company has previously said that GXO is estimated to see a return on its investment within two years, based on the equivalent of a human working an hourly rate of $30. Johnson said that any company that requires material handling — be it pharmaceutical or grocery — could make use of a workforce of Digits. "Mobile phones started first in the enterprise space because there was an ROI for a salesperson not to stop and find a phone," Johnson said. "That will happen with robots." Amazon began testing Digit in its warehouse operations last year. Ford is looking at how it can deploy Digit with its autonomous-vehicle technology to create a "last-mile" delivery service. Most recently, Agility Robotics struck a deal with the German automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler, which also made a minority investment in the company. Agility Robotics has raised about $178 million in investment to date, a spokesperson said. It competes with the likes of Apptronik, which is working with NASA on humanoid robots, and Boston Dynamics, which has created humanoid robots called Atlas that it says can run and jump over obstacles, as well as perform factory-worker tasks. Agility Robotics' humanoid robots are permitted to work only inside a specific, cordoned-off space separate from human workers. But Johnson said that by mid-2025, the next-generation version of Digit would be able to safely operate around humans. The company is aiming for the new model to be commercially available within 18 to 24 months. A 2023 Gallup poll found that about one-fifth of US workers surveyed were worried that their jobs would become obsolete because of technology, up from 15% of workers polled in 2021. Johnson said Agility Robotics hadn't had pushback from the likes of workers' unions despite advancements in the number of humanlike tasks Digit can perform. Widespread deployment of humanoid robots is still some way off, however. "I think they also recognize that these are jobs that they haven't been able to fill," Johnson said. "We tend to think of it as augmenting humans and not replacing humans — it's just taking some of the tasks off their plate." While Digit robots are starting to be tested in some workplaces, Johnson said getting them to perform tasks around the home, like folding laundry, would take awhile longer. "A household is a very chaotic environment: At any given moment, a child's ball runs across the room, and dogs run by. There's things that are in the way," Johnson said. "Warehouses are much more disciplined." Johnson said the data gathered by robots working in warehouses would eventually be used to train consumer robots. But she added that she wanted Agility Robotics to focus on demonstrating what its technology can perform today — rather than the concept videos used by some of its competitors. Robotics videos and demos at trade shows and events are often highly choreographed, she said. For instance, Tesla's humanoid Optimus bots at last month's robotaxi event were remotely operated by humans behind the scenes. "The hype, in general, is not great for the industry because people think it's somehow not here and now," Johnson said. "My job is to say, no, it is here and now. Humanoids are deployed right now and are getting paid to do work." Agility Robotics takes a similarly cautious approach to its application of artificial intelligence, which is deep in the hype stage. Johnson described the company as "AI-agnostic," as it uses various models in reinforcement learning to help fine-tune Digit's leg movements and help it recognize and carry out various tasks. "Many companies in the robotics space think, well, now that AI is here, I can just build a complete AI stack. We think that is very dangerous right now," Johnson said. "The problem is, just asking ChatGPT a question — it doesn't always answer exactly right. Can you imagine if what it's telling it to do is move an arm around and these things are human forms, 5-foot-9, 160 pounds? They have a lot of force." Jump to

Digit, the flagship robot at Oregon-based Agility Robotics, raised its hand to wave at the audience at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech in Park City, Utah, as CEO Peggy Johnson explained to the crowd why the robot’s knees were, well, backward—like bird legs. “Knees get in the way of picking things up,” she explained to Fortune tech reporter Jason Del Rey, pointing out that Digit was designed to work in big warehouses, lifting things up and putting things down. Now, Digit is putting its backward-knees design, ten years in the making, to good use: The droid recently got hired at its first real job—picking up totes at a Spanx facility in Georgia and putting them onto conveyors. The work is part of a multi-year deal with logistics provider GXO Logistics, and Johnson said the company is already getting monthly revenue from the robot-as-a-service project. Johnson, who has only been in the CEO role for four months, said that there are about 1.1 million unfilled warehouse jobs in the US that require the repetitive, mundane tasks Digit is doing. “Nobody wants these jobs,” she said, adding that repetitively lifting heavy weights leads to workers getting hurt, and ultimately quitting their warehouse jobs. “That’s where the injuries come in. That’s where the turnover comes in,” she said. Warehouse employees that used to do physical work are now becoming the managers of the robots, she added: “They need to be upskilled.” Agility Robotics, which spun out of research at Oregon State University, raised $150 million in a Series B round in April 2022 as the company prepared to deploy Digit in logistics and warehouse environments. Now that Digit has been released into the wild of the warehouse, Johnson said the company is working on a rollout for its next generation of Digit to come in the fall. Thanks to a factory the company recently built in Salem, Oregon, the company will roll out hundreds of Digit robots, and thousands are planned for the following year—with an eye towards a goal of 10,000 to meet growing demand. But it’s not just about getting the robots to walk—backward knees and all, Johnson emphasized. Instead, it’s about the robot being able to step into an operation’s existing workflow. “We need to enter a corporate IT infrastructure and make it work for them,” she said. In April 2024, Agility Robotics confirmed that it laid off a “small number” of employees because of “ongoing efforts to structure the company for success” while ramping up production of Digit. Johnson said that the company is currently raising capital for another round of funding down the line. But at the moment, she said, she is trying to figure out the best workplace for the handful of Digit robots currently available. “We have a lot of interest from automotive, retail grocers,” she said. “I’m trying to figure out which direction to go in.” Correction: Agility Robotic’s $150 million funding was a Series B in 2022, not a series C in 2024. The GXO facility where Digit is working is in Georgia, not Connecticut. Sharon Goldman is an AI reporter at Fortune and co-authors Eye on AI, Fortune’s flagship AI newsletter.

Agility Robotics is wrapping up construction of a factory in Salem, Oregon, where it plans to mass produce its first line of humanoid robots, called Digit. Each robot has two legs and two arms and is engineered to maneuver freely and work alongside humans in warehouses and factories. The 70,000-square-foot facility, which the company is calling the "RoboFab," is the first of its kind, according to Damion Shelton, co-founder and CEO of Agility Robotics. COO Aindrea Campbell, who was formerly Apple's senior director of iPad operations and an engineering manager at Ford, told CNBC that the facility will have a 10,000 unit annual max capacity when it's fully built out and will employ more than 500 people. For now, though, Agility Robotics is focused on the installation and testing of its first production lines. "It's a really big endeavor, not something where you flick a switch and suddenly turn it on," Campbell said. "There's kind of a ramp-up process. The inflection point today is that we're opening the factory, installing the production lines and starting to grow capacity and scale with something that's never been done before." Funded by DCVC and Playground Global among venture investors, Agility Robotics beat would-be competitors to the punch, including Tesla with its Optimus initiative, by completing development of production prototype humanoid robots and standing up a factory where it can mass produce them. Shelton told CNBC that his team developed Digit with a human form factor so that the robots can lift, sort and maneuver while staying balanced, and so they could operate in environments where steps or other structures could otherwise limit the use of robotics. The robots are powered with rechargeable lithium ion batteries. One thing Digit lacks is a five-fingered hand — instead, the robot's hands look more like a claw or mitten. "Human style hands are very complex," Shelton said. "When I see robots that have five fingers, I think, 'Oh, great. Someone built a robot, then they built two more robots onto that robot.' You should have a 'hand' that is no more complex than you need for the job." Digit can traverse stairs, crouch into tight spaces, unload containers and move materials onto or off of a pallet or a conveyor, then help to sort and divide material onto other pallets, according to Agility. The company plans to put the robots to use transporting materials around its own factory, Campbell said. Agility's preferred partners will be first to receive the robots next year, and the company is only selling — not renting or leasing — the systems in the near term. Asked if the company is concerned that its technology could "steal jobs" from people, Shelton said he envisions Digit allowing manufacturing and logistics businesses to meet rising demand as recruiting remains a challenge and as many workers retire or opt to leave the industry. Matt Ocko, managing partner at DCVC and an investor in Agility, told CNBC that Digit should "fill millions of unmet roles that human beings don't want." At the same time, he emphasized, Agility Robotics has designed its humanoid robots to work safely and autonomously as a "robotic co-worker." Got a confidential news tip? We want to hear from you.

Mercado Libre, Latin America’s largest e-commerce company and fintech acquirer, has signed an agreement with Agility Robotics to deploy Digit, the latter’s humanoid robot, in its fulfilment centre in San Antonio, Texas. The company also plans to deploy Agility Robotics’ robots across more of Mercado Libre’s warehouses in Latin America. The companies will begin with commerce-support tasks and will test how humanoid systems can fit into the e-commerce company’s existing workflows. The agreement aims to address labour gaps, automate repetitive work, and improve workplace ergonomics. Both companies will evaluate how Digit can support logistics operations and help staff shift to more value-added roles. With this, Mercado Libre has joined other companies deploying Agility’s robots, including GXO, Schaeffler, and Amazon. “At Mercado Libre, we are constantly exploring how emerging technologies can elevate our operations and improve the experience for our employees and millions of users,” said Agustin Costa, senior VP of shipping at Mercado Libre, in a statement. Digit will move materials in the Texas facility by walking, lifting, and carrying totes (plastic bins) through standard warehouse aisles. Agility said the robot can integrate into existing layouts without significant changes. The robot has already handled more than 100,000 totes in live operations, the company noted. Costa said the deployment is a step towards building a “safer, more efficient, and adaptable logistics network.” Daniel Diez, chief business officer at Agility Robotics, said the company is “excited to partner with them [Mercado Libre] to integrate our autonomous humanoid robots capable of performing meaningful work and delivering real value into their facilities.” Agility asserted that Digit can take on high-turnover roles and support continuous workflows. It uses AI to learn new tasks and adapt to different processes. The robot utilises Agility ARC, the company’s cloud platform for managing robot fleets within enterprise systems, for task allocation. 📣 Want to advertise in AIM?

美國物流巨頭 GXO 偌大倉庫裡，體型修長的藍綠色身影正忙進忙出。它有如鳥雙腿，夾爪雙手靈巧探入無人搬運車，將一個個物流塑膠箱搬至輸送帶。這批融入工作流、與人類共享工作空間的機器員工「Digit」，已忠實執行任務超過一年。 6月，美國機器人獨角獸Agility Robotics為自家Digit歡慶上工一週年。超過2千小時工時，搬運30多萬個庫存單位。這只是全世界首款商業部署的人形機器人的首個里程碑。 Earlier this month, Digit passed the one-year mark working full time for @GXOLogistics 🎉🤖 pic.twitter.com/wom0Qz4LKq — Agility Robotics (@agilityrobotics) June 26, 2025 Agility Robotics共同創辦人暨機器人首席設計長赫斯特（Jonathan Hurst）眼中，他親手打造的Digit還有很大的發展空間。未來，Digit將走出倉庫，進入工廠、零售、照護領域，最終進入一般消費者的家庭。 「不需要急著跳到終點」，赫斯特對《遠見》解釋，家用機器人的安全門檻最高，他估算是機器人最後抵達的市場。但前進家戶的途中，每個逐步解鎖的市場都超過百億美元規模。他表示，「服務這些市場時，你可以打造百億甚至兆億美元規模的公司。最終再將機器人推上家用市場。」 除了與GXO簽約別具意義的「機器人即服務」（Robots-as-a-Service）長期合約，Agility Robotics早已打入高度自動化的零售巨頭亞馬遜倉儲。年初以來，Digit也在舍弗勒（Schaeffler）位於美國南卡的工廠裝卸洗衣機外殼。這間機械與汽車零件製造商亦是Agility投資者，準備全球生產基地部署人形機器人。 合作數年後，輝達9月宣布，創投部門Nventures加入Agility Robotics的C輪投資。之前Agility已應用輝達Omniverse機器人模擬與學習框架Isaac Sim與Isaac Lab，在模擬環境訓練機器人全身控制能力。Digit也是新機器人電腦Jetson Thor的早期使用者。 ▲ Agility Robotics共同創辦人、首席機器人長赫斯特（Jonathan Hurst）。 2015年成立，研發機器人已久的Agility Robotics正在這波「實體AI」熱潮助陣下加速前進。身為業界首個拿下長期商業合約的人形機器人供應商，他們最寶貴一課是什麼？ 答案是：安全性是規模化商業應用的最大門檻。赫斯特直言，這是最重要的經驗學習，「沒有一套完整的功能安全性策略，就無法部署機器人」。 過往，工廠自動化設備常是固定式，或只在機器工作區執行任務，以防人類員工受傷。但如果只將人形機器人部署特別工作區域，就大幅限制任務種類，可說是失去研發人形機器人的意義。 赫斯特便說，「人形機器人的價值在於，它可以走入現有為人類打造的空間，代人類執行原本人要做的工作。」 他表示，Agility Robotics也是在概念驗證、與亞馬遜等客戶合作以後，才真正理解機器人需要什麼安全性策略，「這需要整體性設計整台機器人（以符合安全原則）」。 例如，與人類在共同空間工作的機器人可能會因電力不足或踩到障礙物摔倒，壓在人類身上。目前Digit重量超過60公斤，未來超過100公斤，是相當高風險的意外事件。 ▲ Agility Robotics概念驗證、與亞馬遜等客戶合作以後，才真正理解機器人需要什麼樣的安全性策略。 為了搬運貨物，Digit雙臂可承重逾15公斤。若在抬放、轉動手臂時撞到人的臉部，那也相當危險。 率先搶進商業市場，Agility Robotics希望在安全性解決方案上，也扮演領頭羊的角色。預計在2026年推出的第五代Digit，可望成為第一個安全性足以與人類密切合作的人形機器人。 這包括裝配一系列感測器，以確保準確偵測到人類。當人類逐漸靠近，機器人就會停止、坐下，進入低能量模式，這樣就不會摔倒在人身上。可能也需要一套獨立監控系統，若監測到機器人可能有逾越安全守則的行動，就能介入阻止。 赫斯特表示，安全部署需要一整套完整的安全功能策略。不只是元件、模組本身的安全性，也牽動外型設計，是從裡到外的整體性更新補強。 Agility Robotics的計畫是2026年底前讓Digit與人類高度合作（fully cooperative）；也就是人機可在同空間工作，但不會同時處理同物件。再以此為基礎，前進真正的人機協作（fully collaborative）。 Agility Robotics也與波士頓動力（Boston Dynamics）等其他機器人公司，一同制定可動態平衡的工業移動機器人安全標準ISO 25785-1。有了國際化安全標準，才能為機器人提供認證保險，為商業部署打下基礎。 「那會是首款具備功能安全性、可動態平衡的人形機器人，能在工作區域外使用。」赫斯特表示。「那也將是人形機器人規模化的時刻，也就是它們不需額外基礎建設支援，就可進入一個空間執行工作流程時。我們將在2026年底發表這項成果。」 倉儲物流、製造工廠等場域，是人形機器人從任務明確的結構化場域邁向彈性、多元的開放世界的初始應用場景，也是啟動「資料飛輪」最佳化產品、以實質營收證成後續投資的關鍵起步。 Agility Robotics花費數年，檢視數百個用例，才找到「倉儲物流」這理想的灘頭市場。赫斯特舉例，一開始考慮「最後一哩配送」，讓機器人從自駕車把包裹送至客戶門口。但自駕車還不普及，每個家戶也不盡相同，加上安全性是一大挑戰，並非理想用例。 Agility Robotics也評估過物流裝卸貨，但紙箱大小不同，如何抓取、分類相當複雜。要把紙箱堆到高處需要攀爬凳子，堆在牆邊時手臂容易撞到牆，因此這也不適合當初始市場。 最後，他們發現搬運倉庫用的物流塑膠箱，是非常適合Digit的任務。這些塑膠箱標準化程度夠高，Digit可用夾爪抓取手把位置。要舉著重物在狹窄走道移動，Digit磨練已久的雙腿動態平衡能力也正好派上用場。 ▲ 搬運倉庫用的物流塑膠箱，是非常適合Digit的任務。 赫斯特估計，光這個市場就有出貨數千台的潛力。盡早進入市場，也讓公司累積實地部署、管理大量機器人的經驗，並能優化安全性功能等產品面向。 或許更重要的是，這讓Agility Robotics與客戶一同成長、一同打造更「通用」的人形機器人。如赫斯特強調，如果只要自動化單一任務，機器手臂便可勝任。但Agility逐步拓展Digit任務範圍，客戶手上的人形機器人會愈來愈多工。他認為，下一步先是物流箱工作流的上下游任務，等到掌握更靈巧的操控能力，會再回頭攻克紙箱搬運這項任務。 「我們不想持續募資、花十幾二十年進軍最終階段市場」，赫斯特表示，「我們想要開始賺錢，逐步建立持續改進的飛輪效應」。 他預期，人形機器人最初的應用場域在工業環境，接著會進入結構化程度較低、需要高安全標準的產業，如零售雜貨、建築、照護，最後進入一般家庭。整個過程將花超過十年時間。赫斯特預期，到2050年，機器人將能與人類在共有空間一起工作生活。為了邁向那樣的未來，無論Digit或人類，都還有許多工作要完成。 （本文由 遠見雜誌 授權轉載；圖片來源：Agility Robotics） 文章看完覺得有幫助，何不給我們一個鼓勵 您的咖啡贊助將是讓我們持續走下去的動力 從這裡可透過《Google 新聞》追蹤 TechNews 科技新知，時時更新 我的最愛 趕快加入最愛頁面 Facebook 成為我們的小粉絲 RSS 即時更新新知 © 2013-2025 TechNews Inc.

In the rapidly evolving field of humanoid robotics, Agility Robotics is pushing boundaries with its latest innovation: a whole-body control foundation model designed to act as the “motor cortex” for its Digit robots. This neural network, boasting fewer than one million parameters, promises to revolutionize how humanoid robots interact with dynamic environments, handling tasks from heavy lifting to disturbance recovery with unprecedented stability and efficiency. Drawing from advanced simulation techniques, the model is trained entirely in NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim, leveraging reinforcement learning to master omnidirectional locomotion and manipulation. As detailed in a recent post on Agility Robotics’ blog, the system decouples high-level planning from low-level control, allowing for intuitive interfaces that simplify teleoperation and behavior cloning. Sim-to-Real Transfer Breakthroughs One of the model’s standout features is its zero-shot sim-to-real transfer capability, enabling seamless deployment from virtual training to physical hardware without additional fine-tuning. This efficiency stems from a carefully curated dataset of 2,000 hours of simulated motion, encompassing diverse scenarios like uneven terrain navigation and object manipulation under perturbations. Industry observers note that this approach addresses longstanding challenges in robotics, such as underactuation and complex dynamics. A survey published on arXiv highlights how behavior foundation models like this one facilitate rapid adaptation to new tasks, potentially transforming humanoid applications in logistics and manufacturing. Integration with Broader Ecosystems Agility’s foundation model integrates smoothly with higher-level AI systems, including large language models for task planning. Posts on X from robotics experts, such as those shared by Chris Paxton, Agility’s director of robotics, emphasize its robustness in handling heavy objects and disturbances, positioning it as a platform for learning new skills. Recent news from The Robot Report underscores August 2025 as a pivotal month for such advancements, with Agility’s work featured alongside investments and new product releases. The model’s small size and low computational demands make it deployable on edge devices, a boon for real-world operations. Real-World Deployments and Future Implications In practical terms, this technology is already influencing deployments. Agility’s cloud platform, Arc, allows for workflow integration in warehouses, as noted in their official site updates. A Business Insider interview with Agility’s CEO reveals plans for safety-certified humanoids by late 2025, capable of operating alongside humans. Bloomberg reports project the humanoid market reaching $38 billion by 2035, with Agility at the forefront. X discussions, including those from The Humanoid Hub, praise the model’s simulation-based training for enabling safe, reactive control in diverse tasks. Challenges and Ethical Considerations Despite these strides, challenges remain in scaling such models for general-purpose use. NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor integration, as announced on Agility’s site, aims to meet growing compute needs, supporting more complex perceptions and decisions. Insiders at events like RoboBusiness 2025, covered by The Robot Report, share insights on initial deployments, revealing lessons in human-robot collaboration. As Agility refines this foundation model, it could set new standards for robotic autonomy, blending machine learning with physical intelligence in ways that enhance human productivity without replacing it. Looking Ahead in Robotic Innovation The convergence of foundation models with humanoid hardware signals a shift toward more intuitive robotic systems. Wikipedia’s entry on Agility Robotics traces its origins to Oregon State’s Dynamic Robotics Lab, underscoring the academic foundations fueling these commercial breakthroughs. Ultimately, this whole-body control model exemplifies how targeted AI can bridge simulation and reality, paving the way for robots that not only perform tasks but adapt intelligently to the unpredictable nature of human environments. As 2025 progresses, Agility’s innovations may well define the next era of practical robotics. Subscribe for Updates Help us improve our content by reporting any issues you find.

Tesla, insansı robot projesi Optimus’un seri üretimini, el ve kol tasarımında yaşanan ciddi teknik sorunlar nedeniyle geçici olarak askıya aldı. Şirket, bu aksaklıklar yüzünden 2025 sonu için belirlediği üretim hedefini 5.000 üniteden 2.000 üniteye düşürmek zorunda kaldı. Gelen son bilgilere göre, Tesla’nın el ve kol tasarımı konusunda zorluklar yaşadığı belirtiliyor. Proje sürecine yakın kaynaklar, mühendislerin insan eline benzer esnek ve çevik bir mekanizma geliştirmekte büyük zorluk çektiğini söylüyor. Bu durum, seri üretimin geçici olarak durmasına yol açtı. Şirketin depolarında, eli ve ön kolu bulunmayan çok sayıda robot gövdesinin biriktiği bildiriliyor, ancak ne zaman tamamlanacaklarına dair net bir takvim verilmedi. Elon Musk, katıldığı bir podcast yayınında tasarım sorunlarını doğruladı, ancak üretimin yeniden başlayacağı bir tarih belirtmedi. Tesla, bu teknik sıkıntıları ilk olarak geçen yaz fark etti ve o dönemde üretim hedefini düşürme kararı aldı. Yeni problemlerin ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte şirket, kaynaklarını mekanik iyileştirmelere ve tasarım revizyonlarına yönlendirdi. Başlangıçta 2025 sonuna kadar en az 5.000 Optimus robotu üretme hedefi olan Tesla, mühendislerin hedefin gerçekçi olmadığını belirtmesi üzerine bu sayıyı 2.000 üniteye indirdi. Bu revize edilen plan, robotun gelişim sürecinin beklenenden daha karmaşık hale geldiğini gösteriyor. Elon Musk, insan benzeri el hareketlerinin tasarım sürecindeki en zorlu aşama olduğunu daha önce de söylemişti. Buna rağmen Musk, Optimus projesine olan inancını koruyor.

Tesla приостановила массовый выпуск ÑÐ²Ð¾Ð¸Ñ Ð³ÑƒÐ¼Ð°Ð½Ð¾Ð¸Ð´Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ð² Optimus из-за Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸Ñ ÑÐ»Ð¾Ð¶Ð½Ð¾ÑÑ‚ÐµÐ¹ с конструкцией рук, сообщили инсайдеры и СМИ, включая The Information и TechSpot. Инженеры компании столкнулись с трудностями в обеспечении Ð½ÐµÐ¾Ð±Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð¼Ð¾Ð¹ гибкости и Ð¿Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶ÐµÑÑ‚Ð¸ рук робота на человеческие. Особенно проблемными оказались модули кистей и предплечий, из-за чего Tesla уже накопила на ÑÐºÐ»Ð°Ð´Ð°Ñ Ð½ÐµÑÐºÐ¾Ð»ÑŒÐºÐ¾ десятков ÑÐ¾Ð±Ñ€Ð°Ð½Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ñ‚ÐµÐ» роботов без рук. На данный момент неизвестно, когда эта проблема будет полностью решена. Первый этап производства столкнулся с задержками ещё летом 2024 года, после чего планы по выпуску были существенно пересмотрены. Изначально компания планировала выпустить не менее 5000 моделей Optimus к концу 2025 года, однако эта цель выглядела слишком амбициозной. Позже план сократили до 2000 единиц, но и эта цифра теперь под вопросом. Илон Маск подтвердил существование трудностей с дизайном рук, отметив, что создание Ð¿Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶Ð¸Ñ Ð½Ð° человеческие кистей — самая сложная часть проекта. Несмотря на это, он ÑÐ¾Ñ Ñ€Ð°Ð½ÑÐµÑ‚ оптимизм и опубликовал видео с роботом, осваивающим боевые искусства и выполняющим движения вместе с актёром Джаредом Лето. Робот Optimus был впервые представлен в 2021 году как универсальный гуманоид, способный выполнять опасные и утомительные для человека задачи, включая сортировку аккумуляторов и инспекции на Ð·Ð°Ð²Ð¾Ð´Ð°Ñ Tesla. В июле 2025 года производство уже прерывалось после ÑƒÑ Ð¾Ð´Ð° Милана Коваца, бывшего старшего вице-президента по Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¸ÐºÐµ в Tesla, что повлияло на организацию разработки. Сейчас компания работает над улучшением конструкции, в том числе над увеличением срока службы Ð¼ÐµÑ Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ð·Ð¼Ð¾Ð² и повышением энергоэффективности. Планируется, что обновлённые версии рук и предплечий обеспечат Ð½ÐµÐ¾Ð±Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð¼Ñ‹Ðµ Ñ Ð°Ñ€Ð°ÐºÑ‚ÐµÑ€Ð¸ÑÑ‚Ð¸ÐºÐ¸ для Ð¿ÐµÑ€ÐµÑ Ð¾Ð´Ð° к масштабному производству. © iXBT

Илон Маск опубликовал на своей странице в соцсети X (ранее Twitter) видео с тренировок робота Tesla Optimus по боевым приемам в спарринге с человеком. На видео робот реагирует на действия партнера, выполняя блоки и удары в скоординированной, «танцевальной» манере. Маск подтвердил, что робот действует автономно с помощью встроенного ИИ и без дистанционного управления человеком. Маск сопроводил ролик подписью «Tesla Optimus учится кунг-фу», в котором заметно улучшение скорости и плавности движений робота. Вице-президент Tesla по программному обеспечению ИИ Ашок Эллусвами в комментариях к публикации добавил, что компания планирует создать единую ИИ-систему, которая будет использоваться как в роботах Optimus, так и в беспилотных автомобилях Tesla. Tesla Optimus — это робот-гуманоид, созданный компанией Tesla. Он был впервые представлен на мероприятии AI Day 19 августа 2021 года. Рабочие прототипы робота показали 30 сентября 2022 года. Ожидается, что в продажу робот поступит уже в 2026 году.

На ежегодном собрании акционеров Tesla 2025 года в четверг была представлена уточняющая информация о гуманоидном роботе Optimus. Видеоролик, показанный во время мероприятия, впервые наглядно показал сотрудников Tesla на «производственной линии прототипов», работающих над различными компонентами и собирающих роботов. Пилотная производственная линия Optimus в настоящее время работает на нашем заводе во Фримонте. Значительно более крупная производственная линия Gen 3 появится в 2026 году. Мы также проводим испытания на наших заводах и в офисных помещениях для использования в режиме реального времени. Наша цель — себестоимость продукции в размере 20 тыс. долларов США на робота при масштабировании. Tesla Tesla Однако руководитель проекта по искусственному интеллекту Джулиан Ибарц добавил: «Просто для ясности: это наш прототип производственной линии, который мы используем сегодня для текущих исследований и разработок. Настоящая масштабируемая производственная линия, которая заработает в следующем году, будет не просто больше, она будет совершенно другой». Илон Маск назвал то, что он считает тремя главными трудностями проекта: проектирование кисти и предплечья, разработка «реального искусственного интеллекта» и масштабное производство. Ранее он называл кисть «самой большой электромеханической проблемой» и отмечал, что «огромная» сложность производства обусловлена «отсутствующей» цепочкой поставок. Илон Маск заявил, что Optimus — это единственный способ избавиться от нищеты и предоставить всем качественную медицинскую помощь.

Новое видео, появившееся на демонстрации Tesla в Майами в минувшие Ð²Ñ‹Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð½Ñ‹Ðµ, показывает, как человекоподобный робот Optimus неприятно упал. Но не само падение вызывает удивление, а специфические движения рук робота по пути вниз, которые убедительно предполагают, что он имитировал действия оператора, Ð»Ð¸Ñ Ð¾Ñ€Ð°Ð´Ð¾Ñ‡Ð½Ð¾ снимающего VR-шлем. Человекоподобные роботы сейчас на пике популярности. Вливаются миллиарды инвестиций, а Илон Маск утверждает, что это будет триллионный продукт для Tesla, оправдывающий ее сумасшедшую оценку. Идея заключалась в том, что с появлением искусственного интеллекта роботы в человеческой форме смогут использовать новый обобщенный искусственный интеллект для замены людей во все большем количестве задач. Однако по-прежнему существует множество ÑÐµÑ€ÑŒÐµÐ·Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ð¿Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð»ÐµÐ¼, как ÑÑ‚Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸Ñ , так и Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸Ñ . Ð¢ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸, большинство демонстраций Ñ‡ÐµÐ»Ð¾Ð²ÐµÐºÐ¾Ð¿Ð¾Ð´Ð¾Ð±Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ð² полагались на удаленное управление операторами-людьми — что указывает на ÑÐ¾Ñ Ñ€Ð°Ð½ÑÑŽÑ‰Ð¸Ð¹ÑÑ разрыв между программным и аппаратным обеспечением. Мы обсуждали, как роботы на мероприятии «Мы, роботы» были под сильным телеуправлением, несмотря на то, что Tesla явно не раскрывала этот факт публике. Это было более года назад, и, несмотря на заявления Tesla о Â«Ð´ÐµÐ¼Ð¾Ð½ÑÑ‚Ñ€Ð°Ñ†Ð¸ÑÑ Ð˜Ð˜Â» Optimus с Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð¿Ð¾Ñ€, Ð¿Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶Ðµ, компания по-прежнему полагается на телеоперацию для управления ими во время демонстраций. В минувшие Ð²Ñ‹Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð½Ñ‹Ðµ Tesla провела мероприятие под названием «Autonomy Visualized» в своем магазине в Майами. Целью было продемонстрировать Â«Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸ÑŽ Autopilot и Optimus» от Tesla. Однако на мероприятии Tesla по «автономности» не было ничего «автономного». Многие поклонники Tesla видели, как они публиковали видео, на ÐºÐ¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ñ‹Ñ Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚ Tesla Optimus раздает бутылки с водой на мероприятии. Он также позировал для фотографий и танцевал. На Reddit кто-то опубликовал другое видео с демонстрации: Как вы можете видеть, Tesla Optimus слишком быстро двигал руками, из-за чего несколько бутылок с водой упали на землю. Затем он теряет равновесие и начинает падать назад. Но самое интересное то, что непосредственно перед падением назад обе его руки мгновенно взлетают к «лицу» с отчетливым Ñ Ð²Ð°Ñ‚Ð°Ñ‚ÐµÐ»ÑŒÐ½Ñ‹Ð¼ движением, как будто снимая объект с головы. Робот, конечно, ничего на голове не носит. Это движение мгновенно узнаваемо любому, кто использовал VR или видел установки телеоперации. ÐŸÐ¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶Ðµ, что оператор-человек, вероятно, Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð²ÑˆÐ¸Ð¹ÑÑ за кулисами или в удаленном помещении, снял свой шлем в середине управления роботом по неизвестным причинам. Optimus точно воспроизвел движение снятия несуществующего шлема, когда он Ñ€ÑƒÑ Ð½ÑƒÐ» на пол. Вот как Tesla обучала Optimus с помощью VR-шлемов в своей лаборатории: Это неловко, но не только потому, что робот упал. Роботы падают; это часть процесса НИОКР. Видео с неудачами Boston Dynamics легендарны, и они никогда не подрывали доверие к компании. Проблема здесь в моменте «Волшебника страны Оз». Специфическое движение снятия «фантомного шлема» разрушает иллюзию автономии, которую Tesla так старается поддерживать. Даже недавно Маск отвергал мнение о том, что Tesla полагается на телеоперацию для демонстраций Optimus. Он уточнил, что новая демонстрация Optimus, выполняющего кунг-фу, была «ИИ, а не телеуправляемой»: Маск снова сказал на последнем отчете Tesla о Ð¿Ñ€Ð¸Ð±Ñ‹Ð»ÑÑ Ð² октябре: «Optimus был на премьере «Трона», делая кунг-фу, просто на виду, с Джаредом Лето. Никто им не управлял. Он просто делал кунг-фу с Джаредом Лето на премьере «Трона». Вы можете увидеть видео онлайн. Смешно то, что многие люди Ð¿Ñ€Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð»Ð¸ мимо, думая, что это просто человек». Маск продолжает говорить акционерам, что Optimus будет самым большим продуктом в истории, и что миллионы единиц скоро будут работать на Ð·Ð°Ð²Ð¾Ð´Ð°Ñ . Но если сейчас они по-прежнему полагаются на телеоперацию 1:1 для раздачи бутылок с водой, то кажется, что до полезного обобщенного робота Optimus нам еще далеко. © Electrek.ru

Компания Tesla показала человекоподобного робота Optimus 2, который стал развитием представленного весной 2023 году андроида Optimus Gen 1. Как заявляет американская технологическая компания, помимо переработанного дизайна робот получил ряд технических новинок. Optimus Gen 2 оснащен приводами и датчиками, разработанными Tesla. Шея с шарнирно-сочлененным механизмом получила 2 степени свободы, руки имеют уже 11 степеней свободы. Руки отличаются большей точностью и аккуратностью в работе, что позволяет им управляться с хрупкими предметами вроде куриных яиц — благодаря встроенным в пальцы тактильным датчикам. Заявлено, что обновленный андроид стал на 10 кг легче, скорость его передвижения выросла на 30%, а имитация работы пальцев ног улучшила баланс робота и дала ему возможность выполнять сложные движения вроде приседаний и танцев. О сроках появления серийного Tesla Optimus компания не сообщает.

Tesla’nın insansı robot projesi Optimus, önemli yapısal ve operasyonel sorunlar nedeniyle beklenmedik bir duraklamaya girdi. Şirketin daha önce bu yıl içerisinde 5.000 ila 10.000 adet robot üretmeyi planladığı proje, yeni bir tasarım aşamasına geçilmesi ve sahada istenen performansın yakalanamaması nedeniyle en az iki ay gecikmeye uğrayacak. Optimus programındaki bu gecikme, programdan sorumlu kıdemli başkan yardımcısı Milan Kovac’ın şirketten ayrılmasından kısa bir süre sonra ortaya çıktı. Kovac’ın görevini, aynı zamanda Tesla’nın otonom sürüş projelerinden sorumlu olan Ashok Elluswamy devraldı. Üretimin ertelenmesinin arkasında sadece yönetim değişikliği değil, aynı zamanda robotun donanımsal açıdan yaşadığı problemler de bulunuyor. Eklem motorlarında aşırı ısınma, ellerde düşük taşıma kapasitesi, şanzıman parçalarının kısa ömrü ve sınırlı pil performansı gibi sorunların üretim planlarını doğrudan etkilediği bildiriliyor. Tesla, şu anda bu sorunları çözmek için çeşitli robot eli tasarımlarını test ediyor ve üç farklı teknik yaklaşımı değerlendiriyor. Şirketin robotun yazılım tarafında da sentetik veri kullanımıyla daha karmaşık görevlerde başarı oranını artırmaya çalıştığı ifade ediliyor. Yılın başında 1.000’den fazla Optimus robotu için parça temin eden şirket, bu sayıda üretimi gerçekleştirmiş olsa da, üretilen robotların şu anda yalnızca Tesla’nın batarya atölyelerinde sınırlı görevlerde kullanıldığı belirtiliyor. Bu robotların verimliliği ise insan işçilerin yarısının dahi gerisinde kalıyor. Tedarik zincirine yakın kaynaklar, Tesla’nın siparişleri resmen iptal etmediğini ancak tasarım değişiklikleri tamamlanmadan yeni üretim için parça siparişi geçmeyeceğini aktarıyor. Bu durum, şirketin yıl boyunca Optimus üretimiyle ilgili verdiği hedefleri revize etmesine neden olabilir. Öte yandan Tesla’nın Optimus programından vazgeçmesi beklenmiyor. Şirketin bu yılki hissedarlar toplantısında yeni nesil robotları sahneye çıkarabileceği ifade ediliyor. Peki siz bu konu hakkında ne düşünüyorsunuz?

Корпорация Tesla остановила производство роботов Optimus из-за проблем. Как передает Day.Az, об этом сообщает издание The Information. В марте глава компании Илон Маск заявлял, что сможет выпустить 5000 единиц роботов к концу 2025 года. Источники рассказали, что Tesla не сможет достичь амбициозной цели и пересмотрела свои планы. Более того - вероятно, в этом году фирма больше не выпустит ни одного робота. Проблема заключается в манипуляторах, которых не хватает для выпуска машин. Специалисты объяснили, что роботизированные руки - самая технически сложная деталь гуманоидов Tesla. Существуют проблемы с предплечьями, которые не устраивают инженеров. Также разработка Optimus приостановилась из-за того, что создатель робота Милан Ковач в июне покинул корпорацию Маска. Источники The Information рассказали, что сотрудники Tesla в частных беседах начинают сомневаться, нужен ли компании человекоподобный робот, так как технические сложности и трудозатраты при его разработке огромны. Однако часть произведенных машин уже используют на заводах - так, гуманоиды сортируют аккумуляторы для электромобилей. Заметили ошибку в тексте?

The Model Y has now established an impressive streak that would otherwise have been impossible before Tesla.

The Model Y has held the title since 2023, outperforming traditional leaders like the Toyota RAV4 and Corolla thanks to its bang-for-the-buck nature and its stellar combination of practicality, performance, and tech. The Model Y is also lauded as one of the safest vehicles on the road, making it an ideal choice for families in key markets such as China.

[unable to retrieve full-text content] На ежегодном собрании акционеров Tesla 2025 года в четверг была представлена уточняющая информация о гуманоидном роботе Optimus. Видеоролик, показанный во время мероприятия, впервые наглядно показал сотрудников Tesla на «производственной линии прототипов», Ñ€Ð°Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð°ÑŽÑ‰Ð¸Ñ Ð½Ð°Ð´ различными компонентами и ÑÐ¾Ð±Ð¸Ñ€Ð°ÑŽÑ‰Ð¸Ñ Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ð². Пилотная производственная линия Optimus в настоящее время работает на нашем заводе во Фримонте. Значительно более крупная производственная линия Gen 3 появится в 2026 году. Мы также проводим испытания на Ð½Ð°ÑˆÐ¸Ñ Ð·Ð°Ð²Ð¾Ð´Ð°Ñ Ð¸ в Ð¾Ñ„Ð¸ÑÐ½Ñ‹Ñ Ð¿Ð¾Ð¼ÐµÑ‰ÐµÐ½Ð¸ÑÑ Ð´Ð»Ñ использования в режиме реального времени. Наша цель — себестоимость продукции в размере 20 тыс. долларов США на робота при масштабировании. Tesla Фото Tesla Однако руководитель проекта по искусственному интеллекту Джулиан Ибарц добавил: «Просто для ясности: это наш прототип производственной линии, который мы используем сегодня для Ñ‚ÐµÐºÑƒÑ‰Ð¸Ñ Ð¸ÑÑÐ»ÐµÐ´Ð¾Ð²Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ð¹ и разработок. Настоящая масштабируемая производственная линия, которая заработает в следующем году, будет не просто больше, она будет совершенно другой». Илон Маск назвал то, что он считает тремя главными трудностями проекта: проектирование кисти и предплечья, разработка «реального искусственного интеллекта» и масштабное производство. Ранее он называл кисть «самой большой ÑÐ»ÐµÐºÑ‚Ñ€Ð¾Ð¼ÐµÑ Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¾Ð¹ проблемой» и отмечал, что «огромная» сложность производства обусловлена «отсутствующей» цепочкой поставок. Илон Маск заявил, что Optimus — это единственный способ избавиться от нищеты и предоставить всем качественную медицинскую помощь. © iXBT

Tesla has one of the most extensive real-world AI neural networks in the world, used to control its self-driving autonomous vehicles. Elon Musk has stated in the past that this neural engine can be used to operate humanoid robots and fulfil the day-to-day tasks that humans don't want to engage in, a project which Tesla calls Optimus. At the 2022 Tesla AI day, Musk unveiled the robot and although the movements are clunky, awkward and slow, the engineering is not the focal point of the presentation. It was intended to show the AI capabilities of the bot and give an idea of what could be achieved in the future. In the past, Musk has voiced his hesitation regarding AI and its inherent dangers, yet in this case he seems to be the one pushing for the technology. More in this article from Bloomberg. – Ross Sinclair By Dana Hull and Sean O'Kane (Bloomberg) –Elon Musk showed off a prototype humanoid robot walking and waving its hand, seeking to demonstrate Tesla Inc.'s advances in artificial intelligence. At the electric automaker's AI Day late Friday, Musk also showed a video of the robot picking up boxes and moving through a rendered office building to water plants. "The robot can actually do a lot more than we just showed you," said Musk. "We just didn't want it to fall on its face." A second robot — the latest iteration of what Tesla calls Optimus — also appeared on stage. Musk said that while Optimus wasn't quite ready to walk, it has opposable thumbs and can perform tasks. "Our goal is to make a useful humanoid robot as quickly as possible," said Musk. "Optimus is designed to be an extremely capable robot made in very high volume, probably ultimately millions of units, and is expected to cost much less than a car." The event, held at a Tesla facility in Palo Alto, California, featured several engineers giving highly technical presentations about how the robot perceives its environment. The technology that Tesla has developed for its vehicles, including cameras, is now being used for the robot. Musk, who was tweeting during his employees' presentations, said near the end of the three-hour event that he was "excited to see what Optimus will become." Musk added Tesla plans to test the robot at its factory in Fremont, California, where the videos of it operating were filmed. But he admitted the robot is "not strictly speaking in line with" Tesla's goal of accelerating the adoption of sustainable energy. "I'm not sure where it ends up," he said. Musk also said Tesla is "probably not barking up the right tree on on all the technical solutions," and reminded the audience the company is "open to evolving" those solutions it has already arrived at. Beyond the robot, Tesla used the event to expand on the progress it has made developing its automated driving software, and the "Dojo" supercomputer that the company uses to train its in-house artificial intelligence. Musk said Tesla may some day allow other companies to pay to use Dojo to train their own neural networks.
