1X has launched the 1X World Model Lab, a new research organization dedicated to accelerating the development of fully autonomous humanoids through large-scale embodied world model pretraining. The lab is led by Sam Sinha, a former research scientist at Luma AI, and focuses on integrating diverse data sources to build robust and generalizable models. The initiative aims to close the full learning loop from data curation to real-world deployment.
Google DeepMind has released Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, an upgraded model that enhances embodied reasoning for robotics. This model improves spatial reasoning, multi-view understanding, and safety compliance, enabling robots to perform complex tasks like instrument reading. It is available via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with examples provided in a developer Colab.
