USC Viterbi's robot training insights and robotics awards

Insights in robot training via robot videos from USC Viterbi (best paper at RSS 2025) plus Mapping America's Machine Shops, China's Policy Enabling Robotics, Mathworks Robotics Repository and Best Paper Awards and Finalists from CORL 2025 https://ow.ly/liR450XacU7

Can I study Robotics? Where can I learn? Every robotics problem starts with the same question: how much intelligence can we achieve with limited hardware? The new project explores autonomous object detection and manipulation using a low-cost robotic arm powered by computer vision and light-based segmentation. Its purpose is to test how affordable systems perform in automated picking and sorting scenarios, revealing both technical limitations and surprising capabilities. This is part of Shimeji’s ongoing exploration into accessible robotics — experiments designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible with minimal resources. Curious how far this approach can go?

In robotics research, you can run 100 experiments, fail 99 times, and still publish a paper from the one success. In the robotics industry, if your robot fails once in 100 runs, you won't have a single customer.

Probably the worlds largest humanoid data training center. Operated by Leju Robotics, the video shows multiple robot training scenarios. Watching the development of robotics training is amazing.

How powerful is it? One horsepower? 😀 At Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence(BAAI) Intelligence, researchers taught a Unitree Robotics G1 to pull a 1,400 kg automobile.

Humanoids & Advanced Robotics • Unitree Robotics – quadrupeds (Go series), humanoids (H1, G1). Great for R&D and dev kits. • UBTECH Robotics – Walker S, educational/service humanoids. • Agibot (ZhiYuan) – humanoid & mobile robots for industry. • Astribot – high-performance humanoid platforms. • Fourier Intelligence – exoskeletons, rehab & industrial robots. • DEEP Robotics / DeepRobotics – quadrupeds for logistics & inspection.
