How 500,000 Hours of First-Person Video Can Add 'Touch' to Embodied World Models
BeingBeyond releases Being-H0.8, a latent tactile world-action model trained on over 500,000 hours of first-person video. By generating pseudo-tactile labels from visual data and unifying robot sensor inputs, it aims to bridge the gap between visual observation and physical contact for embodied AI.
Tencent Open-Sources Three Embodied AI Models to Build a Unified Robotics Foundation
Tencent's Robotics X Lab and Futian Lab, in collaboration with Hunyuan, have released three open-source embodied AI foundation models based on the Hunyuan large model: Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.0, Hy-Embodied-RxBrain-1.0, and Hy-Embodied-VLA-0.5.
Unitree's New Brain Debuts, Moving Whole-Body Intelligence from Concept to Real Robots
On July 20, Unitree Technology officially released UnifoLM-OminiA-0.3, an embodied large model for home care tasks, natively integrated into the G1 robot. This marks a substantive step toward real-world deployment in civilian service.
Xiaomi Turns World Model Into a Data Engine, Beyond Prediction
Xiaomi has open-sourced U0, a 38B-parameter multimodal model that integrates five embodied synthesis functions. By treating embodied generation as a natural extension of foundation models rather than domain-specific fine-tuning, U0 acts as an expandable data engine, significantly enhancing robot generalization in real-world scenarios.
LimX Dynamics, Which Raised USD 400 Million in Six Months, Accelerates Plans for Public Listing
