Where can linearized dynamics be trusted w/contact? MIT's "Contact Trust Region" answers this using manipulation theory, differentiable simulation & control. It enables manipulation w/less compute than RL, powering robots to be more energy-efficient: tinyurl.com/mw48m2wf

Our 4th annual Hack Week brought together colleagues to think creatively and explore new ways of working with data. Prior Hack Week projects have helped inform new computational science direction for Calico, and we look forward to seeing where these new ideas lead!

South Korea–based WIRobotics has introduced a humanoid robot called Allex. Allex features a lightweight arm with a 15-joint hand that can sense tiny forces and lift objects up to 30 kilograms. The company plans to develop it into a safe, flexible, general-purpose humanoid by 2030.

“The possibilities with AI are almost unlimited. If you think about what intelligence is and let’s take human intelligence, first of all. Human intelligence always astounds me, and I don’t think we think about this enough. It’s created modern civilisation around us. Sometimes when I’m flying over to the US for a business trip or something on a 747, I sometimes look out the window and think, “how have we as humanity manage this with our sort of primate brains?” It seems incredible to me, and I don’t think people stop and think how magical that really is.” - chemistry laureate Demis Hassabis on the possibilities of artificial intelligence. Hassabis was awarded the 2024 chemistry prize for presenting an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, it's possible to predict the structure of virtually all known proteins.

Batteries that use solids as their charge-carrying electrolyte could potentially be a safer and far more energy-dense alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, these solid-state batteries have been plagued by metallic cracks which cause them to short circuit. But now, research from MIT could finally help engineers find a way to get past this hurdle. news.mit.edu/2026/why-solid…
