MBody AI expands service robotics operations to eleven states and Canada
Deployments of service robots using MBody AI Orchestrator are spreading. Source: MBody AI MBody AI Corp., which is developing an operating system for enterprise service robots, is expanding its North American operations, said Check-Cap Ltd., which is planning to merge with the company. “Reaching eleven states and entering Canada shows how the Orchestrator platform scales across new markets,” stated John Fowler, CEO of MBody AI. “The value of Orchestrator compounds with each dep
MBody AI Corp. is expanding its service robotics operations across eleven states and Canada by deploying its Orchestrator platform, which is a hardware-agnostic operating system designed to coordinate and manage multi-robot fleets. The Orchestrator provides real-time data intelligence, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring capabilities that help customers optimize robotic performance and make operational decisions based on measured results. The North American service robotics market is experiencing significant growth, valued at approximately 16 billion dollars in 2026 and projected to reach 29 billion dollars by 2031, making this expansion part of a broader industry trend toward automated solutions for labor shortages. MBody AI, founded in 2024, is in the process of merging with Check-Cap Ltd., which will transition the combined company into a publicly traded provider of enterprise AI orchestration for robots across hospitality, gaming, commercial real estate, healthcare, and data center operations.

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
