Galbot’s PASSAGE Helps Humanoids Step Over, Duck Under and Squeeze Past Obstacles
Galbot has highlighted PASSAGE, a research framework enabling a humanoid robot to choose how to traverse cluttered environments by stepping over low obstacles, ducking under overhead barriers, or turning sideways through narrow gaps. The system pairs a motion planner with a whole-body controller trained on 100 hours of human VR motion capture data, reaching an 89.67% destination success rate in 750 simulated trials and successfully completing all 50 physical trials on a Unitree G1 across unseen layouts.
Microagi Says It Reached $100 Million Revenue Run Rate in Six Months
Microagi claims to have reached a $100 million annualized revenue run rate within six months of launching Shift, its platform for collecting human activity data for robot training. CEO Bercan Kilic announced the milestone on October 9, while newly appointed chief research officer Animesh Garg reiterated the company's ambition to deploy one million robots. The article notes the figure is an annualized run rate, not audited revenue, and has not been independently verified.
Tesla Patent Application Details Flexible Touch Sensors for Robot Hands
Tesla has filed a patent application (US20260310299A1) describing flexible touch sensors designed to conform to the curved surfaces of robotic fingers and palms. The filing details capacitive and resistive sensing approaches, manufacturing techniques such as screen printing and molding, and explicitly discusses humanoid tactile 'skin,' though it does not name Optimus or provide performance results. The application offers a look at earlier engineering work rather than a product announcement, and provides no measured sensitivity or durability data.
