A significant multimodal reasoning model has been integrated into AgiBot（智元机器人） for X2, allowing for real-time cognition and reasoning capabilities. When posed with the question of what drink to choose for sleeplessness, it suggests milk. X2 is poised to function as a caregiver with a presence in nursing homes.

Zhihui Peng, the founder of AgiBot（智元机器人）, has introduced the Lingxi X2, a bipedal humanoid robot that combines advanced movement, interaction capabilities, and task-oriented intelligence. Equipped with a computing system that enables seamless interaction with humans, this robot has 28 degrees of freedom and a diffusion-driven motion engine. It can walk, run, dance, cycle, and is particularly adept at precise object manipulation. Follow Peter Kappes for daily updates on robotics, humanoids and automation.

30 Years, Not A Single Lost Bag! Osaka Kansai’s Unmatched Record Puts U.S. Airports To Shame Clearly its a people issue and other airports should model Japan when it comes to baggage handling. Kansai International Airport has been responsible for no lost luggage since it opened in September 1994, gaining international recognition for prompt and reliable baggage delivery. Airport rankings for least mishandled bags – note that this is not the lowest number of mishandled bags at the airport, but mishandled bags attributable to the airport itself rather than an airline – are reportedly as follows, with none of the best airports in the United States: 1 Osaka Kansai 2 Singapore 3 Bahrain 4 Doha 5 Chubu Centrair 6 Helsinki-Vantaa 7 Tokyo Haneda 8 Taiwan Taoyuan 9 Seoul Incheon 10 Dubai This is shameful for USA airports.

AgiBot（智元机器人）Genie Operator (1 GO1), harnesses a vast dataset of over 1 million trajectories to enhance its understanding of human actions and execute tasks efficiently. With the Vision Language Latent Action (VILLA) framework, GO1 combines vision, language, and action modeling, bridging the gap between perception and execution. Recent tests have showcased its incredible performance, boosting success rates from 46% to 78% in tasks like pouring water. GO1's ability to learn from diverse data sources sets a new standard in robotics. Follow Peter Kappes for daily updates on robotics, humanoids and automation.

Gemini Robotics unveils breakthrough capabilities in AI-powered robotics with real-time interaction and advanced dexterity. The humanoid robot, powered by Gemini 2.0, is interacting with its environment and responding to user commands in real-time. It can perform tasks such as placing fruits in containers and folding an origami fox while engaging in conversation. It also demonstrates generalization abilities by tackling tasks it hasn't been trained for, such as flipping a die to match another or executing a slam dunk with a basketball.
