Forget YouTube videos — frontier physical AI models need multiple camera angles, dense annotation, and, soon, brain wave readings.

NVIDIA Graphics Research has presented 22 technical breakthroughs at SIGGRAPH 2026, advancing Simulation and Physical AI. Physical AI Sees Life-Like Simulation With NVIDIA's Latest Graphics Breakthroughs While ArtFixer Turns Messy 3D Captures Into A Pristine Virtual Scene At SIGGRAPH, NVIDIA's Graphics Research has published 22 technical papers with the aim of advancing Physical AI and Simulation through leveraging its real-time and AI-assisted technologies. NVIDIA is using AI to build real-time systems to generate physically accurate virtual worlds for both virtual purposes, for enjoying inside the virtual world, but also to build AI systems and real things inside the real world. All of the research […]

NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, has arrived in Japan and will be holding key meetings with robotics partners to advance the Physical AI era ahead. Jensen Huang Arrives In The Birthplace of Humanoid Robots To Kickstart The Physical AI Era AI is a multi-domain market, and while Agentic AI is all the buzz these days, there's one other key market that is growing at a rapid pace with the evolution of AI: Physical AI. Robots are to Physical AI what humans are to Agentic AI. And NVIDIA has a vast robotics platform ready for the future. It is mainly powered by […]

When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes. That gap, it turns out, might be filled by gaming data. That’s the bet behind General Intuition, a […]

French serial entrepreneur and open-source legend Jean-Baptiste Kempf has been building Kyber, an infrastructure layer to control remote devices in real time.

The new round values the physical AI startup that aims to automate heavy engineering and drug design at $41 billion.

Human Archive, a startup founded by UC Berkeley and Stanford researchers, is paying gig workers in India to wear camera-equipped caps and sensor devices to collect the real-world physical training data that AI and robotics labs are racing to acquire.

Deep Care's $350 device is pricy, but it runs offline and helps you improve your posture and movement habits.

Osaurus combines local and cloud AI models in a Mac app that keeps users’ memory, files, and tools on their own hardware.

Instead of building robots themselves, the team is focused on a simpler goal — providing data that robots need to learn and operate. They believe that better data will be key to making robots more useful.

Apple’s sold-out Mac mini is spawning marked-up eBay listings as demand surges for the compact desktop, now favored for running local AI models and tools.

Apple tells TechCrunch Cal AI was removed not for web payments alone, but for deceptive billing, manipulative tactics, and App Store rule violations.

ASUS is no stranger to collaborating with media franchises on special edition releases for their components. Most notably, anything from the ROG x EVANGELION collection becomes an instant collector's classic with a massive premium on the secondhand market. When ASUS UAE first reached out to me looking to sample the Flow Z13-KJP, I assumed it would be similar to those previous ROG collaborations: gear that looked decent and certainly amassed a fan following, but nothing really deeper than a decal slapped on existing components. Boy, was I wrong. What's In The Box Inside the box, you'll find the laptop along […]

Driven by labor shortages, Japan is pushing physical AI from pilot projects into real-world deployment.

The company turns footage from robots into structured, searchable datasets with a deep learning model.

The Pentagon has officially designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk after the two failed to agree on how much control the military should have over its AI models, including its use in autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance. As Anthropic’s $200 million contract fell apart, the DoD turned to OpenAI instead, which accepted and then watched ChatGPT uninstalls surge 295%. As the stakes keep rising, the question remains: how much unrestricted […]
