Rhoda Blindfolds Its Robot—and Lets Touch Guide the Search
Rhoda AI demonstrated a robot searching for and retrieving textured balls with its head and wrist cameras blocked, relying entirely on touch to guide its movements. The system combines a new tactile sensor with Rhoda's Direct Video-Action model, which predicts future tactile signals that an inverse dynamics model then converts into robot actions. The article notes the demonstration is illustrative but lacks repeated-trial results or a reported success rate, leaving reliability unquantified.
China's Hesai launches spatial camera to boost AI-powered robotics adoption
Chinese lidar maker Hesai Group unveiled 'Kosmo,' a three-dimensional mapping camera that combines lidar sensors and cameras to help developers collect real-world spatial data for training AI systems powering humanoid robots. CEO David Li positioned Hesai as a tier 1 supplier to the robotics industry comparable to Bosch, noting the firm has signed agreements with Chinese robotics firms to use the product. Hesai is also developing robot actuators that are being used by its co-founders' startup Sharpa Robotics in the Sharpa Wave robotic hand.
