Lightwheel

What do you get when you cross a Paris river cruise with innovators in Physical AI? Lightwheel's @MACHINASUMMIT Summit yacht party! Last night we took the Seine with some of the sharpest minds in Physical AI and Simulation. Founders, humanoid builders, researchers, and investors traded the conference floor for a sunset cruise through the city, building relationships that will shape where this industry goes next. Thanks to everyone who came aboard. See you all later this month at @siggraph 2026!

@LightwheelAI is heading to Physical AI Day at #SIGGRAPH2026. We'll be showcasing our simulation infrastructure for Physical AI: ▪️ Agent-driven SimReady asset generation ▪️ Advancing complex physics and solver calibration in Newton ▪️ Fully Newton-native simulation evaluation And don't miss our session with @jonstephens85, Building SimReady 3D Worlds for Physical AI. See you there. #PhysicalAI #SimReady #Simulation #Robotics

@danfei_xu @ryan_punamiya @simar_kareer @microagi We're excited to support EgoVerse and the growing ecosystem around egocentric intelligence. Goodluck at RSS 2026!

A few big updates from EgoVerse.ai: 1. EgoVerse is coming to RSS'26! @ryan_punamiya will present the work, and @simar_kareer will give a keynote at the Data-Centric Robotics workshop. 2. EgoVerse is expanding with more industry partners, including @microagi, @LightwheelAI, and Trace Labs, with a growing pool of training-validated, permissively licensed data (hitting 10k hours soon). 3. We are building the ecosystem around egocentric intelligence: Through a new partnership with the @nvidia Inception Program, we are connecting data vendors with researchers who can put this data to work.

Egocentric human data will be a major ingredient in the next generation of robot learning. Robots need to understand not just what tasks look like, but how humans perceive, adapt, recover, and act in the physical world. We are excited to contribute to EgoVerse as it grows into an open ecosystem connecting researchers, data partners, and infrastructure builders around training-validated, permissively licensed data. This is an important step toward closing the loop from human experience to robot intelligence.

Our CEO, Steve Xie (@bgxc), took the stage at @MACHINASUMMIT to share how Lightwheel is closing the robot deployment loop with a simulation-first approach. From world generation to behavior learning, evaluation, and deployment, robots need more than better models. They need the infrastructure to train, test, and improve before they reach the real world. That’s the loop we’re building at Lightwheel. We'll see you all in a few weeks at @siggraph 2026! #Machina2026 #PhysicalAI #Robotics

Today, @LightwheelAI is announcing a strategic partnership with @ManusMeta to build the data infrastructure backbone for Physical AI. In Physical AI, the quality of a robot's behavior follows directly from the quality of the human demonstration data behind it. Dexterous manipulation — the hardest and scarcest capability in robotics — depends on capturing the human hand with precision. That is where this partnership begins. MANUS captures human dexterity at the source, at 25 degrees of freedom per hand and millimeter precision. Lightwheel turns that high-quality data into robot-learning-ready datasets, then scales it through simulation, evaluation, and real-world deployment — an end-to-end Real2Sim2Real pipeline. As a core capture partner on Lightwheel's Human Data Capture Platform, MANUS brings its high-precision hand capture to an open foundation for standardized human data capture. The next generation of Physical AI will run on high-quality data — and we are building that foundation together. Read the full announcement: lightwheel.ai/media/lightwhe…

Geely's humanoid robots are now working on a live automotive production line — sorting and sequencing parts. The path from months per task to weeks: Lightwheel's Real2Sim2Real infrastructure. One continuous learning system — human data, simulation, deployment, and back: → EgoSuite captures how Geely's own operators work — first-person human data from the live line. → SimFoundry turns it into physics-grounded simulation, calibrated to Geely's real equipment. → Every failure on the line becomes the next lesson — and each cycle ships a stronger policy. Built on NVIDIA GR00T and NVIDIA Isaac. @NVIDIARobotics This is our continuous learning system for Physical AI — running in production. Full story 👉 : lightwheel.ai/media/geely-hu…

@ErenChenAI @jonstephens85 Next time we’ll have to have a full humanoid dance competition! Thanks for coming!

Last nights Physical AI Event in Chicago by @LightwheelAI @jonstephens85 G1 looks like a little brother standing next to A3.

@AGIBOT_US Thanks for bringing the A3! It was a hit of the party!

A3 was practicing kung fu in the middle of a rooftop dance floor in downtown Chicago. Well… it was also the DJ’s first time trying to catch the beat of a robot’s kung fu moves. 🤖🥋 Thanks to @LightwheelAI for having us.

We brought together 100+ of the brightest minds in physical AI for one great night. Food, drinks, robots, and the Chicago skyline. Thanks to everyone who came to our party at @AutomateShow, let's build the future of robotics together! #AutomateShow2026

Day 2 at @AutomateShow starts now. If Day 1 was any indication, it's going to be a good one. The floor is open and we're ready at booth 2491. Come talk about what it actually takes to deploy robots in the real world. We're here all day. #AUTOMATESHOW2026 #Robotics

Turns out a lot of people are tired of robots that work in the lab and fall apart on the floor. That was the theme of Day 1 at @AutomateShow. We’re having great conversations at booth 2491 about successful robot deployment and where Physical AI actually goes from here. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. If we missed you today, come find us! #automateshow2026 #robotics

Everyone building Industrial Physical AI will be at @AutomateShow 2026. On June 24, Lightwheel is bringing the best of them to one rooftop in Chicago. In the room: Founders shipping robots. Researchers behind robot learning. The simulation & infrastructure teams underneath it all. The investors funding it. Chicago skyline. Cocktails all night. A set from DJ JayFunk — in-game DJ for the Bulls, White Sox & Bears. And, mostly, the right people. Curated, and intentionally small. June 24, 2026 · Chicago Claim your spot, space is limited: luma.com/dzo2klna #AutomateShow2026

@iuliaferoli @lukas_m_ziegler Thanks for coming! We agree, the best conversations happen at the parties!

Such a great evening at the @LightwheelAI Physical AI Party 🤖 The best conversations at #ICRA2026 happened off the show floor. Founders, researchers, and builders all in one room (and excellent cocktails 🍸) Thanks @lukas_m_ziegler and team for having me! #robotics #physicalAI @RybOlya_ @JDRanpariya
