English articles about physical ai companies at Physical AI Lab.
Figure has published meaningful evidence that BotQ is scaling. The numbers describe different things, however: cycle time, designed capacity, completed robots and external deliveries cannot be used interchangeably.
Skild AI completed the acquisition of Zebra Technologies’ robotics automation business, formerly Fetch Robotics. The transaction transfers an established AMR and orchestration base; deploying the Skild Brain across it is the buyer’s forward integration plan, not a published warehouse-wide result.
UnifoLM-WMA-0 combines future-video modeling with an action head and can run in simulation or decision-making modes. UnifoLM-VLA-0 maps visual-language context to actions through a VLA workflow aimed at humanoid manipulation; neither repository is turnkey autonomy for every Unitree robot.
π0.7 is called steerable because its prompt can specify not only the task but also how it should be performed, using language, episode metadata and subgoal images. Its reported generalization is broad research evidence, not a public commercial API or unrestricted autonomy claim.
1XWM first generates a short future video conditioned on NEO’s view and a text prompt. An inverse dynamics model then estimates the robot action trajectory between generated frames, but plausible video does not guarantee successful physical execution.
GR00T N1.7 is available now with open weights and a documented development path. GR00T N2 is a next-generation preview based on DreamZero research, with availability targeted for the end of 2026 rather than a fixed release date.
Super targets maximum datacenter quality, Nano efficient workstation inference, and Edge on-device reasoning including Jetson. Choose by output, latency budget, execution location and current access—not by model name alone.
Atlas targets human-scale industrial handling, Spot carries sensors through inspection routes, and Stretch unloads and picks cases in warehouses. They are not three interchangeable buying options.
NVIDIA has not become a consumer-humanoid manufacturer. Its GR00T Reference Humanoid combines partner hardware with NVIDIA compute and an open development stack to create a reproducible research platform.
The current official purchase screen lists Lite at $299 and Wireless at $499. The practical choice is whether your robot can stay tethered to a host computer or needs onboard compute and wireless operation.
