A new AI model called Robostral Navigate is challenging a long-held assumption in robotics: that reliable autonomous navigation requires expensive, sensor-heavy hardware. The 8B model, developed by the team at AI Science Robotics, achieves state-of-the-art single-camera robotic navigation using nothing more than an ordinary RGB camera and a plain-language instruction — no LiDAR, no depth…

The parent company of The Robot Report, WTWH Media, today announced that it has rebranded as Arrowfly. The company said the new name and identity reflect its transformation from a specialized trade publisher into an omnichannel business-to-business (B2B) media, events, and marketing company where hard-to-reach professional decision-makers gather for trusted journalism, industry intelligence, and high-impact…

Hello I published a paper. Most defenses against fine-tuning poisoning try to detect malicious data or reduce its impact. I explored a different question: What if the model simply could not learn certain malicious updates? The idea is to constrain fine-tuning to a subspace learned from trusted LoRA adapters. Useful adaptation remains possible, but some…

The rise of humanoid robots is taking shape as countries make a concerted effort to develop and deploy them across different corners of society. Recently, Japan announced plans to create and deploy approximately 10 million humanoid robots nationwide by 2040, aiming to integrate them across 18 job sectors and address workforce shortages. China, South Korea,…
