Congrats on the amazing progress! Way to go! ๐Ÿš€
One month into joining World Labs, itโ€™s been incredible to witness Atlas come to life under the leadership of @jcjohnss, @BenMildenhall, and @drfeifei. ๐Ÿš€ Proud to contribute on the robotics side and show how Atlas can bridge world models and physical AI: turning a few casual real-world recordings into interactive simulations with controllable objects, motions, lighting, and environments. And this is just the beginning. Very excited about what Atlas can unlock for robot learning at scale!! ๐Ÿค–

Like it or not, robotics is becoming the next major front in US-China competition, and the two ecosystems are already deeply intertwined. For years, US robotics companies could make a reasonable tradeoff: build the intelligence in-house, source much of the hardware, and deal with the supply chain later. That is getting harder. The FCCโ€™s recent decision turned the origin of advanced robotic hardware into a market-access issue in the US. Localize everything in a humanoid except the joints, and you still only get to ~40% US content. The current threshold is 65%, rising to 75% in 2029. A few of us at @TheEtnaLabs spent two weeks on the ground across Beijing, Shenzhen, Suzhou, and Shanghai to understand how Chinaโ€™s robotics supply chain actually worksโ€”and what it would take for US teams to close the gap. Here's what we saw. Full report linked at the end.

๐ŸŽ“ I graduated from MIT in 2024. What got me through my Ph.D. wasn't just hard work and a great lab โ€” it was also the open-source tools, codebases, and shared resources from a community that believed in giving freely. Now it's our turn. ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿค– We're launching the Dexmate Build with Vega U Research Grant Program to put high-quality, easy-to-use robot platforms in the hands of university labs โ€” so researchers can stop being bottlenecked by their hardware and get back to making breakthroughs. ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿ’ก If you're a PI working on the next wave of Physical AI, I personally encourage you to apply. This program is for the whole research community โ€” whether we've met or not. No strings attached. ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ‘‡ Apply here: dexmate.ai/research-grant If this resonates, tag a lab or researcher who should know about this. ๐Ÿ“ฃ
๐Ÿ’Œ A message from our CEO, Tao Chen. In this video, he shares why weโ€™re launching the Dexmate's Build with Vega U Research Grant Program and the future weโ€™re building toward. Our mission is simple: make intelligent robotics accessible to the people pushing research forward. ๐Ÿ’ก Weโ€™re inviting institutions and labs working on the next wave of Physical AI to apply: dexmate.ai/research-grant We believe the future of robotics will be built through close collaboration with the research community and this is just the beginning. If this resonates, share with a lab or researcher who should be part of this. #Robotics #ArtificialIntelligence #AIResearch #PhysicalAI #HumanRobotInteraction #ResearchGrant #Dexmate #Vega

๐Ÿ’ช Robot exercise time At @DexmateAI, we build Vega with precision engineering and premium components. Our hardware features top-tier motors and harmonic drives that deliver exceptional performance and durability. Quality parts = quality robots that handle impressive payloads without breaking a sweat.
๐Ÿค– Physical AI is evolving weekly, but many models are trained on robots with limited payload capacity--restricting their real-world utility. ๐Ÿ’ช To truly deploy AI in physical spaces, we need stronger hardware to unlock these models' full potential. Vega is capable of lifting 15+ lbs! ๐Ÿš€ What applications will emerge when cutting-edge AI models meet Vega's physical capabilities? #PhysicalAI #EmbodiedAI #Robots #Automation #RealworldAI
