VLAs can enable vehicles to better handle complex edge cases: a VLM can "think through" a complex interaction, deduce a common sense behavior, and then a VLA can carry that out to maintain safe(r) behavior even in unusual situations.
The 6th gen platform reportedly costs ~$70k per vehicle ($50k base + $20k custom fit & sensors). The cost has room to fall by 50% in the next 2 years (>$30k vehicle + $10k sensors). Waymo currently does over 500,000 driverless...

This is where #AI + #IoT + #robotics become mission-critical. Robots that understand their environment don’t just move faster, they save lives. MIT just unveiled a breakthrough that lets search-and-rescue robots rapidly map large, unpredictable spaces in real time. @MITAeroAstro @MITEngineering #MWC26...

Chatbot ≠ Agentic. RPA ≠ Agentic. RAG ≠ Agentic. Agentic AI = orchestrator + memory + planning + tools + feedback, plus multi-agent specialists (retrieval/coding/citations). The board question: where do we allow autonomy—and with what guardrails? https://t.co/AEnajJZeEP
Tesla will get to a working robotaxi eventually, but it's difficult to say when. My 50th percentile is end of 2026, but the variance is high. It could be in a few months. It could be a few years. We'd...
From $100,000 spinning sensors to compact solid-state units built for automotive scale, lidar has come a long way. MicroVision is betting its high-resolution sensing device can win over skeptics—and automakers. Lidar #ADAS https://spectrum.ieee.org/solid-state-lidar-microvision-adas?share_id=9165326

A new Science #Robotics study describes a method that enables robotic modules to share their resources with a “dead” neighbor, overcoming failure to ensure the reliability of robot collectives. @robotician @RRL_EPFL https://t.co/NRPlam3xZS https://t.co/pNiqhfqVwD
“How Agentic AI works” — this diagram gets one thing very right: Agentic AI is not a model. It’s a system. Here’s the deeper reading most people miss 👇 1️⃣ Inputs are not prompts — they’re signals Agentic AI doesn’t...

A #bioinspired eye can reflexively constrict or dilate its pupil in response to varying light levels like a human eye, which could improve image detection and find applications in autonomous driving. @baiwubin Learn more in Science #Robotics: https://t.co/p1uZy6rbky https://t.co/9TwSpPBNds
