Laplace Intelligence, a University of Michigan spinout, uses AI agents and interactive simulation to red-team robots and self-driving cars before real-world deployment. The profitable startup is competing in Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt, October 13–15 in San Francisco, TechCrunch AI reports.
IEEE announced its 2027 Technical Field Award recipients across disciplines including AI, microelectronics, medical robotics, wireless networks, and power electronics. The list highlights individual and team achievements cited for technical innovation, leadership, and societal impact, and nominations for 2028 open until 15 January 2028.
A multidisciplinary team at ITESO in Guadalajara built RoboMeshA, a portable, self-contained robotics and AI learning platform that students access via a web browser without installing software. The team validated two units in local high schools and is developing modular coupling so multiple units can operate together (IEEE Spectrum).
IEEE Spectrum reports that modern robots combining multimodal sensors and AI are vulnerable to attacks that manipulate perception, models, or system components without obvious failures. The article outlines layered risks—poisoned training data, system and middleware exploits, and runtime input attacks—and recommends lifecycle-focused cybersecurity testing and monitoring (VicOne examples cited).
General Intuition is in talks to raise funding at a $6 billion pre‑money valuation from new investors including Valor Ventures, Point72 Ventures and Seven Seven Six. The startup says it builds a foundation model that trains generalized AI agents to move through space and time as it pushes into robotics (TechCrunch).
DeepMind’s blog describes Gemini Robotics ER 2 as a system that advances video understanding, task orchestration, and multi-robot collaboration to help robots reason and solve real-world tasks. The post frames ER 2 as a step change for robotic applications.
Sarah Downs, now a Ph.D. student at Texas A&M, created a force-based insertion algorithm that lets a robotic arm assemble satellite antennas in zero gravity without relying on cameras. Her work, done with NASA and the U.S. Air Force during her master’s, addresses peg‑in‑hole insertion and compensates for reaction torques in space.
Agility Robotics is opening a new training center for its bipedal Digit robots in Fremont, California. The facility positions the company geographically near Tesla and aims to scale operator training and field testing for its humanoid platform.
Google DeepMind and India’s Atal Innovation Mission introduced ATL Saathi, an AI assistant powered by Gemini to help teachers run robotics labs. The tool is designed to guide educators with curriculum-aligned support and hands-on project help in school innovation spaces.
X Square Robot outlines an open embodied-AI stack combining curated interaction data, an event-oriented world model (WALL-WM), and a pretrained action model (Wall-OSS-0.5) with a semantic action tokenizer. The company emphasizes data validity through physical replay and claims cross-embodiment transfer and deployable pretraining before fine-tuning, while noting most results come from its own robots and benchmarks.
OpenAI News melaporkan kajian tentang pemindahan tingkah laku dari simulasi ke dunia sebenar menggunakan model dinamik songsang mendalam. Laporan itu menyatakan pendekatan ini belajar pemetaan antara tindakan dan hasil pergerakan untuk membantu mengurangkan jurang antara simulasi dan aplikasi praktikal.
OpenAI melaporkan mereka mencipta AI pengesan spam pertama di dunia yang dilatih sepenuhnya dalam simulasi. Model itu kemudian dilaksanakan pada robot fizikal.
