For the past few months, I have been working on a small design experiment. I got frustrated with most AI for designers because they usually do one of two things: Ignore the original product and generate something completely generic. Keep the exact same shape and basically just change the material, color, or style. Neither is…

Learn how to design human-robot collaboration for trust and safety in a webinar. Source: Boston Dynamics As humanoid robots start to move from laboratories into industrial and commercial environments, developers must address safety concerns. Boston Dynamics this week is presenting a free webinar to discuss the human-machine interaction, or HMI, considerations for humanoids. The key…

Today we’re introducing Robostral Navigate, our first model built for embodied navigation. It’s an 8B model that takes RGB images and a plain-language instruction and moves a robot through an environment: “Leave the lobby, walk through the corridor, enter the supply room, and stop to face the second shelf.” To perform such tasks, other models…
