Newlab

Humanoid robots can walk. They still can’t work. That’s why @KyberLabsRobots is going after the hardest problem in robotics: dexterous manipulation. If robots can’t use their hands, nothing else matters. This is what unlocks the factory of the future.

Demo showing our system doing autonomous assembly of a part! What else should we have it do? And if you want a hand, wait list is open here! airtable.com/appbuPsRZGM5IY…

more robots in space = more humans in space @Icarus_Robotics

@Icarus_Robotics is sending robots to the ISS in 2027 to work alongside astronauts. Co-Founder @j_palmer00's pov: the more robots we send to space, the more humans we can send too. Should robots build out space so humans can follow?

vomit comets, pre-space testing and the @Icarus_Robotics path to launch! always great to chat with @StrongReporter podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Detroit has always been defined by motion, from building the automobile industry and highways to global manufacturing. At Michigan Central and @Newlab, that legacy is evolving upward as drones, digital airways and real-time data create a new era of mobility. PC: Birdstop

Astronauts do work no one else can. But it costs $130K/hour to keep them in orbit, and some of that time is spent on...chores. So two Newlab founders asked a simple question: what if robots did that? Now @Icarus_Robotics is building the first robotic labor force for space.

Last week, 400+ founders, investors, and partners joined us for Critical Mass: Vol. III, Bangers in Detroit. Big thanks to @noxmetals, blueflite, @ObservableSpace, @ShandokaCycles, Ecosphere Organics, @Aerialoop_com, Cambrian Robotics, ThermoVerse & wheel.me.

What do drones, trains, self-driving, and space tech have in common? They all showed up at last night’s @Newlab New Mobility Futures event.

Party in a factory @Newlab X @reindsummit
