AgiBot Upgrades Genie Sim to Unify Robot Training and Evaluation via Flexible-Body Simulation
Folding a towel or tightening a drawstring bag is simple for humans but challenging for robots, as fabrics and ropes continuously deform and contact friction alters subsequent manipulation conditions. If simulation fails to replicate these dynamics, robots may perform well virtually but fail in real-world deployment.
Hesai Launches AI Camera Kosmo to Monetize the Real World as Data
Hesai launched the Kosmo One handheld scanner and Kosmo World platform, enabling robot companies like Sharpa to build high-fidelity simulation environments from real-world scans. The move signals a shift from selling sensors to providing 3D data assets and cloud processing services.
