Google DeepMind officially introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, its latest physical AI model. #GeminiRobotics #GoogleDeepMind

The pitch is right: AI is proactive, but approving every action on your phone is exhausting. #Aina #Wearables
What if your devices, apps and agents knew what you wanted?
You finish breakfast, and your Uber is booked.
Running late, your agent sends a “Running late” text.
You reach home, and your lights turn on.
AI is proactive now. But it still needs your yes. It waits, for you to unlock your phone, open an app and tap approve. Every time, hundreds of times a day.
AI needs its own interface.
Aina is a ring with a screen that predicts and shows you the three things you’ll need next. One flick of your thumb, and it’s done. For everything.
✦ Cues: proactive suggestions, ready before you need them
✦ Voice: talk to your agents, take notes, dictate
✦ Remote: control your music, Mac and TV
✦ Calls: right from your hand
Pre-orders open now

As more robots enter factories and warehouses, better post‑deployment evaluation is badly‑needed. This deep‑dive covers AGIBOT’s Worken and what it could bring to the whole robotics industry. #AGIBOT #Worken #AGIBOTInnovationDay #EmbodiedAI

First-generation units source roughly 90% of components from the US or allied nations. #Anduril #MadeInUSA
BlueChip. Built in America.
America made the first electronic computer to win a war.
Now we depend on our greatest adversaries to build the computers that run our economy and defend our nation.
Today, we bring it home.

IP67 turns the Mini into a backpack-safe device, which changes where people actually carry it. #iPadMini #Tech
Looks like this is going to be a week of Apple press releases, starting today with the new OLED iPad Mini
- 8.5" OLED display
- A20 Pro chip
- "Acoustic display" instead of speaker grilles
- IP67 rating
- N1 and C2 chips
- Starting at $699 (+$200 from last gen)
My take: WAY better screen, WAY better chip, so a very welcome refresh. Very curious to try this audio system. but also I can't find any mention of 120Hz or ProMotion on the website, so.... 60Hz?

SuperMimic took over the AGIBOT X2.
Tracking error drops to 19 mm from 30 mm on identical hardware, in-distribution success ties at 98.4%. #HumanoidRobot #EmbodiedAI

Whether it really delivers personality you only know after using it. #MoriRobot #AICompanion

Putting Optimus actuator tech into a production car with confirmed customers like the Roadster gives the robot project its first real commercial carrier. #Tesla #Roadster
Roadster transforms in Track Mode
These aero features aren't just for looks: they provide the best passive downforce package of any road car (approaching F1 levels!) with wing actuation driven by the @Tesla_Optimus actuator system

the real difference is who can actually put it into every classroom. #AIclassroom #EdTech

That low-key energy is 100x more credible than a "future of humanity" thread. #HumanoidRobot #EnduranceTest
F.03 just crossed 9 straight days walking on this treadmill: 348 miles and 1.2 million steps
Started as a side project to stress the robot for any failures. Let's see how long it can go

That restraint makes it feel credible. The louder a project pitches, the more it smells like a deck; this dry description actually makes me want to believe it. #ConstructionRobot #Humanoid
A 19-year-old MIT student created these AI-powered robots costing $85,000 that do an excellent job.
Humanoid robots are mixing mortar in a pan, buttering bricks with a trowel, and stacking them into a wall between concrete columns.
That’s the part most automation pitches miss. Bricklaying machines usually need a redesigned workflow, special blocks, or a site prepared around the machine. Here, the robots appear to use the same pan, trowel and bricks a human mason would. A contractor doesn’t need to rebuild the process. They need to hire a different kind of crew.
So imagine the business. Not a company selling robots to builders, but one renting a robot crew by the day to small contractors who build brick walls between concrete frames, with a foreman who supervises, restocks bricks and checks alignment. The customer isn’t buying technology. They’re buying walls finished by Tuesday.
Whether that works depends on things the video can’t show: speed, how straight the courses run, how much human help the robots need, and what happens when one breaks down mid-wall. Those details decide whether this is a business or a demo.
But notice who might benefit most. Not a giant developer with an automated factory. A small builder who loses weeks every season waiting for masons to become available.
If humanoids can use human tools, every trade that already has tools becomes a candidate market.
Which trade would you hand to a robot crew first: bricklaying, plastering, or painting?

The model is genuinely adjusting from visual feedback, not running a fixed trajectory. #RobotManipulation #Humanoid
