  • Boston Dynamics shows Atlas humanoid robot fitted with wheels

    Boston Dynamics has released a video showing its Atlas humanoid robot equipped with wheels. Engineers used custom adapters to mount standard electric scooter wheels onto Atlas's ankle actuators. The modification required no major hardware changes and no rebuild of the robot's software models; engineers simply replaced the feet with wheels in simulation. The wheeled Atlas can jump and spin and perform lateral sprints, the video shows.

  • LiberAI launches Liber-0 world action model

    Physical-world-model startup LiberAI has released Liber-0, a world action model pretrained on more than 2.2 million hours of human experience data. In 600 real-robot tests across 60 tasks randomly generated by GPT-6, the model achieved a 36% overall success rate without collecting robot demonstration data specifically for the test tasks. When combined with human manipulation data collected via data gloves, the model outperformed one trained only on full real-robot data even with 75% less real-robot data, LiberAI said.
