AGIBOT produces 15,000th robot, marking a milestone in embodied AI deployment
AGIBOT G2 robots work on Longcheer’s tablet production lines. Source: AGIBOT AGIBOT Innovation Technology Co. today said that the 15,000th robot has rolled off its production line. The company said this reflects its progress in moving embodied AI systems from product validation and batch production toward larger-scale deployment. “The rollout of our 15,000th robot is not only an important milestone in AGIBOT’s mass production and engineering delivery capabilities, but also a reflection of
AGIBOT Innovation Technology Co. announced it has produced its 15,000th robot, representing a shift in the robotics industry from experimental prototypes toward large-scale manufacturing and real-world deployment of embodied AI systems. The company's production has accelerated significantly, with the time to manufacture each batch of 5,000 units decreasing from one year initially to three months more recently. AGIBOT's milestone unit was the G2, a wheeled mobile manipulator designed for industrial tasks that has been validated through factory operations including quality inspections. The achievement reflects broader industry progress in scaling production, supply chain management, manufacturing standardization, and field deployment capabilities needed to move embodied AI systems from proof-of-concept toward sustained commercial application.

Can AI agents program industrial robots without training data? Berkeley says yes
The new RoboSimStudio is an open-source project that enables agentic AI coding of robotic simulation environments. | Credit: UC Berkeley UC Berkeley and NVIDIA have released open-source tools for a new approach: enabling teams of AI coding agents to write, simulate, and refine readable robot programs. Since the early days of industrial robots, programming, tuning, and troubleshooting robotic workcells has taken weeks to months. New research coming out of UC Berkeley has demonstrated that new age
Boston Dynamics adds wheels to Atlas humanoid to test whole-body control
Bridging the divide between deterministic physics-based control and policy-driven adaptation, Boston Dynamics has deployed a hybrid locomotion architecture on a wheeled variant of its Atlas humanoid. The “experiment” combined classical model-based motor control with whole-body reinforcement learning to maintain dynamic stability across unstructured, real-world terrain. In the video, Andy Wu, controls engineer for Atlas at Boston Dynamics, highlights some recent experiments that he
Practice Makes Precise: At CoRL, NVIDIA and Partners Reveal How Robots Rehearse Delicate Work in Simulation
Simulation, which has long been the proving ground for robots learning to walk, roll and hop, is now helping researchers teach robots tasks that require a finer touch: aligning gears, connecting cables and assembling small components. The shift from locomotion to manipulation is taking center stage at this week’s Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) in Austin, Texas, alongside the rise of agentic robotics — a new paradigm that integrates frontier agents to create interpretable code for physical
Memories.ai builds standardized egocentric video pipeline
Memories.ai models label every clip: Memories-H0 for hand pose, EgoAction for action segments. | Credit: Memories.ai Memories.ai is building a data pipeline for robotics companies that combines standardized video collection with AI-powered annotation to turn everyday egocentric footage into training data for robots. The San Francisco-based company is developing software and AI to help robots understand the physical world. It builds video-understanding models and data infrastructure, and it colle
