Robots

The arms race around robot foundation models has just welcomed a new player. A joint team from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Galaxy General, and Zhiyuan Institute has introduced LDA-1B, pushing parameter size directly to the billion scale. Behind this number sits a more aggressive idea: stop focusing only on expert demonstration data. Those “garbage data” […]

This isn’t a joke — it actually happened. A company known for video technology has built a general-purpose “brain” for robots. Different from traditional specialized robot brains, MotuBrain not only has the ability to predict and simulate the world, but can also output action instructions. It truly achieves the idea of “knowing and doing as

Recently, a series of developments across the industry have outlined a clear trend: embodied intelligence is moving away from pure “visual simulation” and is formally stepping into a new stage of “spatial understanding.” Not long ago, the global embodied world model benchmark WorldArena released its latest rankings. The newest embodied world model, FlowWAM, developed by

Refuses to Reveal Its Name, Yet Tops Two Global Benchmarks These past few days, the world model space has been unusually lively. Fei-Fei Li’s spatial intelligence unicorn World Labs rolled out “Spark 2.0” in a high-profile way, and Alibaba quickly followed with its world model “Happy Oyster.” Almost at the same time, Physical Intelligence also

A Chinese team open-sourced LingBot-Map, and with only an ordinary camera, it achieved 10,000-frame streaming 3D reconstruction, drawing 1.2 million viewers across the internet. A camera that costs just dozens of yuan beats LiDAR systems worth tens of thousands. Unexpectedly, the open-sourced LingBot-Map from the Chinese team directly ignited the global robotics community. This is
