Ex Google CEO, Dr. Eric Schmidt: AI may hit a money wall before it hits a power wall. "The real limit to AI is not energy; it is actually cash. When you add up the cost of these things, if you take round numbers, say $50 billion per gigawatt, then 10 gigawatts is half a trillion dollars. How many companies, countries, and so forth can hand an industry a trillion dollars of capital? Very, very few. The Chinese could certainly do it. I do not know if they are doing it, but I am going to try to find out. In America, there are people who hope that is going to happen. It is interesting that you can finance these things because the brilliance of the American capital market allows us to borrow that kind of money. For example, the Europeans cannot do this, which they are sort of sore about." --- Full video from 'Special Competitive Studies Project' YT channel ( link in comment)

WATCH: A Croatian company is launching what it says is Europe’s first self-driving taxi service, Robotaxi. The service, operated by Verne, started last month with 10 self-driving vehicles covering a 90-square-kilometer area in the Croatian capital, Zagreb

A humanoid robot welded for 8 hours at 20 meters above the floor while its operator stayed on the ground in a VR headset. Kepler's K2 Bumblebee did the job at China's Lushine Technology, mirroring the operator's motions 1:1 while holding a 30kg dual-arm payload. Force feedback and first-person view streamed back through the headset.

Figure AI’s humanoid robots sorted packages for around 50 hours nonstop without intervention, CEO Brett Adcock said, a milestone in showing their ability to take on everyday tasks. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

We taught two F.03 robots to clean a room and make a bed in under 2 minutes - fully autonomous.

Balancing commercial goals and robotics research can be tricky, but with Atlas we're making it work.

This is a major advancement in robotic reasoning and control. See the video !

📢 Breaking Ik heb naar aanleiding van het Tesla FSD-testproject in Nederland aan @Tesla gevraagd hun dossier aan ons over te maken. Dat ligt nu bij mijn administratie, die ik de opdracht heb gegeven om tegen het einde van de week duidelijkheid te verschaffen over een mogelijke snelle homologatie. Want innovatie moet je niet afremmen, maar doordacht en veilig mogelijk maken. Zo houden we Vlaanderen op kop als vooruitstrevende regio. @elonmusk vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2026…
