MyroNode is a peer-to-peer robotic teleoperation system that mirrors IMU motion onto smart serial bus servos across high-speed CAN FD

Imitation learning policies in robotics are trained on datasets collected through costly real-world teleoperation. Often, the data-collection process is unguided, relying on the teleoperator's intuiti

Teleoperation remains the default way to collect robot demonstrations, but every episode costs robot and operator time, and every new task starts from scratch. We ask whether a coding agent can take o

Renault Group et le belge John Cockerill ont présenté le 3 novembre le Forefront Concept, un drone terrestre téléopéré à deux moteurs électriques, annoncé pour environ 400 km d'autonomie et jusqu'à une tonne de charge utile. Renault fournit la plateforme, John Cockerill la téléopération et…

How to practice robot teleoperation at home with Hugging Face's LeRobot and an SO-101 arm: kit prices, setup, datasets, and what job postings really ask for.

An investigation into China’s embodied-AI data-collection centres examines a fast-spreading model in which local state capital buys robot hardware and companies buy back the data, and asks whether the resulting revenue reflects real demand or inflated valuations ahead of IPOs.

A $20,000 robot that folds laundry sold out its first production run in five days, even after buyers learned a stranger in a VR headset might be the one actually doing it. 1X Technologies opened preorders for Neo, its humanoid home robot, on October 28. Within five days, the company had taken orders covering its first year of production capacity, roughly 10,000 units, built at a 58,000-square-foot factory in Hayward, California. Buyers can pay $20,000 outright or $499 a month on subscription, both options gated by a refundable $200 deposit. Shipments to US customers are expected to begin in 2026, with a wider international rollout planned for 2027. Neo looks like the robot you've been promised for a decade: it folds laundry, loads the dishwasher, tidies a living room. What's different is how much of that work is actually done by a robot at all. A chunk of it runs through what 1X calls Expert Mode, where a human operator at the company puts on a Meta Quest 3 headset and drives Neo by hand through your house, task by task. The Wall Street Journal tested the product and found that 100% of the household work it observed was teleoperated,...

Collecting high-quality demonstrations remains a central bottleneck for learning dexterous manipulation. Teleoperation records executable robot actions, but it requires a complete robot setup and plac
