Building a robot policy that works in the real world isn’t a computer problem anymore — it’s a data problem. Embodied AI teams have three options for fueling their models: teleoperation, simulation, and human video. Each comes with a different cost curve, a different fidelity profile, and a different ceiling on what your robot can […]
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Pudu Robotics, a global leader in service robotics, announced the launch of its new PUDU D7, its next-generation industrial semi-humanoid robot designed for manufacturing and industrial environments. PUDU D7 integrates industrial-grade hardware with embodied AI to tackle complex operational challenges across factory workflows. Built on PuduFM 1.0, Pudu Robotics’ embodied intelligence foundation model, the robot integrates scenario-driven intelligence, […]
Accelerated computing has revolutionized industrial engineering, compressing simulation times from weeks to hours. Today’s remaining challenges sit in the end-to-end workflow surrounding the simulations: computer-aided design, meshing, simulation setup and debugging, as well as post-processing and generating summary reports of these processes. At GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, NVIDIA and more than a dozen engineering software […]
Genesis AI released Genesis World 1.0 on May 27, 2026 — a four-component simulation platform covering physics, rendering, compilation, and tooling. The system achieves a Pearson correlation of 0.8996 between simulation and real-world robot rollouts, and reduces policy evaluation time from over 200 hours to under 0.5 hours.

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — FORT Robotics, the trust layer for physical AI, announced the acquisition of Mapless AI, a Boston- and Pittsburgh-based leader in vehicle teleoperation and autonomy supervision. The acquisition represents a significant commercial expansion of FORT’s Trust Platform, adding two critical new capabilities: remote human-in-the-loop teleoperation and onboard active safety. By integrating […]
Insider Brief IntBot and Singapore-based operations company Certis have formed a partnership to develop socially intelligent robot applications for enterprise and customer-facing environments. “With multimodal models maturing, the decisive bottleneck for embodied AI shifts from task manipulation to human interaction,” IntBot co-founder and CEO Lei Yang said in the announcement. “A robot’s success in public […]
Just through mid-May, China-based robotics companies have already raised $5.6 billion across 176 deals this year, Crunchbase data shows, a sum matching total venture funding to the nation’s robotics companies in all of 2021, the peak of the funding cycle.
Insider Brief Spirit AI and Bosch China announced a strategic partnership focused on bringing embodied AI systems into industrial environments, combining Spirit AI’s robotics foundation models with Bosch’s manufacturing and automation infrastructure. According to the companies, the partnership is aimed at accelerating deployment of what Spirit AI describes as a “universal brain” for robots — […]
An egocentric dataset is a structured collection of first-person video and sensor recordings — captured from a head, chest, or wrist-mounted camera — used to train robotics and embodied AI systems on how people see, move, and act. It’s the closest match to what a robot’s onboard camera will see during operation, which is why […]
