PNP Robotics showcased their haptic teleoperation system at the Embodied AI Conference, integrating Haply's Inverse3 haptic joystick with Franka robots to enable real-time pose control and immersive haptic feedback for intuitive teleoperation and data collection purposes.
Agile Robots launched the Agile ONE SN at NVIDIA GTC Berlin, introducing a 1.4-metre, 43-kilogram research humanoid with 71 degrees of freedom, tactile hands, Jetson Thor hardware and the GR00T 1.7 VLA model. The company also introduced the Diana 7 and Diana 3 arms and joined AUDI AG, Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA on a humanoid logistics pilot at Audi's Ingolstadt plant. NVIDIA separately announced plans to invest in Agile Robots, although the amount was not disclosed.
Allsides has launched its 3D Digital Twin Factory, an Nvidia-powered automated pipeline that converts scanned physical objects into SimReady Digital Twins for training robots in environments such as Nvidia Isaac Sim. The system reproduces geometry at sub-millimetre precision while measuring PBR materials, mass, collision properties and friction, and Allsides aims to scale output to millions of twins across hundreds of product categories. No funding round or new robot hardware was announced.
