Xiaomi is best known for smartphones, smart home gear, and the occasional electric vehicle update. Now it wants a place in robotics research too. The company has announced Xiaomi-Robotics-0, an ...

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Safely achieving end-to-end autonomous driving is the cornerstone of Level 4 autonomy and the primary reason it hasn’t been widely adopted. The main difference between Level 3 and Level 4 is the ...

Google DeepMind on Thursday unveiled two new artificial intelligence (AI) models that think before taking action. At least one former Google executive believes everything will tie into internet search ...

Dobot claims its self-developed vision-language-action model lets humanoid robots react to the real world rather than just ...

Figure AI has unveiled HELIX, a pioneering Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that integrates vision, language comprehension, and action execution into a single neural network. This innovation allows ...

Just when you thought the pace of change of AI models couldn’t get any faster, it accelerates yet again. In the popular news media, the introduction of DeepSeek in January 2025 created a moment that ...

As I highlighted in my last article, two decades after the DARPA Grand Challenge, the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry is still waiting for breakthroughs—particularly in addressing the “long tail ...

MIT researchers discovered that vision-language models often fail to understand negation, ignoring words like “not” or “without.” This flaw can flip diagnoses or decisions, with models sometimes ...

Vision language models (VLMs) have made impressive strides over the past year, but can they handle real-world enterprise challenges? All signs point to yes, with one caveat: They still need maturing ...
