Welcome to the Physical AI & Humanoid Robotics blog! This is where we share insights, tutorials, research updates, and practical guides to help you master the art of building intelligent robots that interact with the physical world.
If you're new to robotics, ROS 2 (Robot Operating System 2) might seem intimidating. But creating your first node is surprisingly simple! Let's build a "Hello World" publisher-subscriber system.
A recent breakthrough from NVIDIA and ETH Zurich demonstrates how massively parallel simulation in Isaac Gym enables humanoid robots to learn complex locomotion policies in record time.
How do you teach a robot to understand "Pick up the red mug and place it on the shelf"? The answer lies in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models—the breakthrough that's transforming robotics.
You've trained a perfect policy in simulation—it walks, grasps, and navigates flawlessly. Then you deploy it to the real robot and... it fails immediately. Sound familiar?
This is the infamous sim-to-real gap. Here are 5 battle-tested strategies to bridge it.
