Meet Roger, the bomb-squad humanoid - The Rundown AI
Minerva Humanoids exited stealth with ~$10M in pre-seed funding led by General Catalyst to build Roger, a VR-piloted humanoid designed for bomb disposal, hazmat calls, and offshore-rig work, letting specialists operate from a safe distance. The Rundown also covers Agilink's OmniHand 3 Ultra learning Suzhou embroidery, a Fudan University microrobot powered by a paper-thin foot membrane that harvests energy from reactive metal surfaces, and MIT's SANDO trajectory planner that mathematically guarantees a drone won't collide with moving obstacles in unmapped spaces.
