Lightwheel

Logistics is where dexterous hand manipulation gets tested for real. Packages shift under the hand. Soft parcels deform during grasping. Contact changes with every manipulation. That is why warehouse sorting needs to be evaluated in simulation before real-world deployment. @LightwheelAI builds evaluation infrastructure to expose failures, measure performance, and close the loop from testing to deployment for industrial teams. #PhysicalAI #Robotics #Simulation #Evaluation #DexterousManipulation #LogisticsAutomation

60+ teams have submitted to the LeHome Challenge 2026. We are now in the evaluation stage. Folding clothes is easy for humans. Still brutally hard for robots. That is why LeHome focuses on deformable object manipulation, one of the hardest open problems in robotics. Phase 1 wrapped with teams submitting policies across four folding tasks: long sleeves, short sleeves, pants, and shorts. 16 winners will have Phase 2 awards. The top 8 teams will compete live at ICRA 2026 on June 4. #Robotics #PhysicalAI #EmbodiedAI

@LightwheelAI closed $100M in Q1 2026 orders. This marks the start of Physical AI at scale. Two forces are converging: frontier model teams need high-quality data at scale, and industrial companies need systems built for deployment. Both point to the same requirement: a continuous infrastructure loop across simulation, data, evaluation, and deployment. Lightwheel marks this shift by turning Physical AI infrastructure into a deployment engine. Read more: lightwheel.ai/media/q1-order… #Robotics #PhysicalAI #EmbodiedAI #IndustrialAI #Automation

Hannover is over. The next industrial robotics revolution has begun. One thing was clear across @hannover_messe: Industrial robots are moving into variable, cluttered, real-world environments where fixed programming is no longer enough. They need to learn from data, and industrial-scale data requires physically grounded simulation. At @LightwheelAI, we showcased the infrastructure behind that shift: simulation, data, evaluation, and deployment connected into one Physical AI stack. See you next at ICRA and CVPR!

Packed booth on Day 3 at @hannover_messe. A lot of the conversations this week have pointed to the same thing: industrial teams are looking for more than robotics demos. They want infrastructure that can actually move Physical AI toward deployment. At @LightwheelAI, we’re showing the answer through physically grounded simulation, scalable data, and deployment-focused evaluation. This is what it takes to move from demo to deployment.

Industrial robotics is entering a new phase. The future will belong to robots that can adapt to variability, not just avoid it. In our joint article with @NVIDIARobotics, we share why that shift depends on a new infrastructure stack built around physically grounded simulation, scalable data, and industrial-grade evaluation: lightwheel.ai/media/lightwhe… If you’re at @hannover_messe 2026, stop by Booth Hall 26, E26/2 and meet the team!

Packed booth. Strong signal. There’s real demand right now for Physical AI simulation infrastructure that can help industrial teams move from robotics demos to deployment. At @hannover_messe, we’re showing how @LightwheelAI supports that shift with physically grounded simulation, scalable robot data, industrial-grade evaluation, and end-to-end deployment for Industrial AI.

@LightwheelAI's first show in Europe! At @hannover_messe, @Maelbs joined @jonstephens85 at our booth to talk about where industrial robotics is heading and what it will take for Industrial AI to move from concept to real-world deployment. Industrial AI needs more than point tools. It needs infrastructure. That’s what Lightwheel is building.

@LightwheelAI is Reshaping Industrial Robotics with @NVIDIARobotics. Traditional industrial robotics was built to eliminate variability. But the future belongs to robots that can operate in the real world as it is: dynamic, unstructured, and unpredictable. That shift requires a new infrastructure stack. In our latest article, we share how @LightwheelAI is building the infrastructure for industrial robotics with @NVIDIARobotics through physically grounded simulation, scalable behavior data, and industrial-grade evaluation — helping industrial teams train smarter robot policies and deploy with more confidence.

To get Physical AI to where it needs to be, we need to scale robot training data by 1,000,000x. But how do we get there? Simulation. But simulation is only as good as the data that you put into it, and that starts with closing the real-to-sim gap first. At @NVIDIAGTC, our Chief Evangelist @jonstephens85 sat down with @taoyu618, Director of Dexterous AI at @ADI_News, to talk about how @LightwheelAI and ADI are working together to make physics-accurate simulation assets a reality at scale.
