Iván Hernández Dalas: AGIBOT launches Genie Studio Agent zero-code application platform for robots

Image
With Genie Studio Agent, AGIBOT said it is shifting from project-based deployments to ecosystem-driven scaling. | Source: AGIBOT AGIBOT today launched Genie Studio Agent, a zero-code application platform for robot development. The company said it designed the agent to make building and scaling robot applications as simple as assembling blocks. As embodied AI advances rapidly, breakthroughs in perception, decision-making, and control, powered by increasingly capable models and algorithms, are pushing the industry toward a new phase of scalability. Yet a critical challenge remains: how to deploy robots in real-world environments efficiently and at scale, especially for those without coding or engineering expertise. AGIBOT said it is releasing Genie Studio Agent in response to this challenge. From model capability to deployment at scale In 2025, AGIBOT introduced Genie Studio , a one-stop embodied AI development platform, enabling end-to-end workflows across data collection, mode...

Moving robots from controlled lab settings into live customer environments exposes challenges and stress that no one can predict. At the Robotics Summit & Expo , which takes place May 27-28, 2026, in Boston, Ariana Eisenstein, the founder and CTO of Pickle Robot Co ., will be sharing the company’s own learnings from bringing its truck unloading robot to workplaces. This session, “Lessons from Taking Robots Out of the Lab and Into the Field,” breaks down the lessons Pickle learned in making warehouse robots not only reliable but also commercially viable. From hardware durability to autonomy edge cases and customer integration, Eisenstein will share the learnings from what it really takes to deploy robots that perform during shifts, day after day. Eisenstein is known for building and leading high-performing ...

Iván Hernández Dalas: Transitive Robotics announces Transitive 2.0 open-source robotics framework

Image
Transitive Robotics is announcing a new major version of Transitive, the open-source framework for full-stack robotics. Version 2.0 adds significant new integrations and features: storage of historic and time-series data in ClickHouse, visualization in Grafana, and custom alerting via Alertmanager. Together with the release of some capabilities, like the free Health Monitoring capability, robotics companies already use these features, providing added value to robotics companies with growing fleets. Fleet operation at scale Until now, Transitive has been very much focused on transactional features needed for the operation of robot fleets . This includes popular capabilities like WebRTC Video streaming , Remote Teleop , and ROS Tool . These capabilities are particularly empowering to robotics companies that have not yet deployed more than 50 robots. Transitive’s open-source MQTTSync data protocol, its realization of full-stack packages , and the built-in fine-grained authentication...

Locus Array combines an omnidirectional base, vision, and a robot arm for mobile picking. Source: Locus Robotics Mobile manipulation is starting to scale in response to supply chain challenges. Locus Robotics today announced at MODEX the global launch of Locus Array. The system combines a mobile robot, an integrated picking arm, and AI-powered perception for autonomous execution. “The No. 1 problem facing supply chains today is uncertainty,” said Rick Faulk, CEO of Locus Robotics. “Whether it’s COVID-19, peak seasons, or tariffs, costs have climbed while productivity hasn’t.” “Warehouse operations are facing increasing pressure from labor constraints, rising costs, and constant variability that traditional systems can’t absorb,” he said. “Locus Array brings autonomy into real-world operations at scale, introducing a fundamentally different, system-level approach designed to solve these challenges at their core.” “Array is a step toward a facility that runs itself, a holy grail ...

Iván Hernández Dalas: Binghamton researchers create robotic guide dogs that walk — and talk

Image
Scientists have developed a robotic guide dog that communicates with the visually impaired and provides real-time feedback during travel. Source: Jonathan Cohen, Binghamton University Guide dogs are powerful allies, leading the visually impaired safely to their destinations, but they can’t talk with their owners — until now. Using large language models (LLMs), a team of researchers at Binghamton University, part of the State University of New York, has created a talking robot guide dog. The system can determine an ideal route and safely guide users to their destinations, offering real-time feedback along the way. “For this work, we’re demonstrating an aspect of the robotic guide dog that is more advanced than biological guide dogs,” said  Shiqi Zhang , an associate professor at the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science’s School of Computing. “Real dogs can understand around 20 commands at best,” he noted. “But for robotic guide dogs, you can just put GP...

Iván Hernández Dalas: AGIBOT unveils Genie Envisioner 2.0 to advance world models into scalable simulators for embodied AI

Image
Genie Envisioner World Simulator takes video data to help control robots. 2.0 Source: AGIBOT AGIBOT today announced the release of Genie Envisioner 2.0, or GE 2-Sim, which it said marked a significant step forward in the evolution of world models — from world action models to fully interactive “world simulators.” The new system introduces what the company described as a “physical evolution engine” for embodied AI . It is a model-based environment where robots can be trained, evaluated, and optimized at scale, without relying solely on costly real-world trial and error. From understanding the world to learning within it In 2025, AGIBOT introduced what it claimed was the industry’s first action-driven world model, Genie Envisioner. The open-source platform enabled robots to understand the world through integrated modeling of vision, language, and action, said the Shanghai-based company. With Genie Envisioner 2.0, AGIBOT said it has shifted the paradigm further, from enabling ro...
