Simate's AutoResearch tops RoboDojo manipulation benchmark

Physical AI startup Simate took the number-one spot on the standardized RoboDojo manipulation leaderboard using AutoResearch, an AI-driven autonomous robotics research platform. By automating hypothesis formulation, code changes, and hardware evaluations through physical recursive self-improvement (Physical RSI), the platform demonstrates that agentic experimentation can outperform traditional human-engineered robot training pipelines.

// ANALYSIS

Automated recursive self-improvement moving from software code generation into physical hardware execution marks a decisive shift in how embodied AI will scale.

–Automating the hypothesis-to-hardware evaluation cycle bypasses the severe human trial-and-error bottleneck in robotics.
–Ranking first on RoboDojo proves that autonomous agentic research can generalize across complex multi-task physical manipulation domains.
–The competitive moat in robotics is rapidly shifting from human teleoperation volume to the speed and efficiency of automated physical experimentation engines.

GoLive launches as an open-source agent skill and zero-dependency CLI that enables coding agents to provision infrastructure and deploy applications directly to developers' personal cloud accounts.

GoLive is an open-source agent skill and zero-dependency Node.js CLI designed to bridge the gap between AI agent code generation and live production deployment. Built for coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex, GoLive follows a "detect, plan, approve, apply, verify" workflow to inspect project dependencies and automatically provision cloud services across hosting (Vercel, Netlify), databases (Supabase, Neon), DNS (Porkbun, GoDaddy), email (Resend), and payments (Stripe). Operating entirely on the developer's local environment without external telemetry or hosted backends, it enforces human-in-the-loop approval before executing changes, tracks drift, enables automated teardowns, and produces a handover document cataloging every resource created.

Daniel Dominguez unveils interactive 3D Robot Library

Daniel Dominguez announced Robot Library, a web-based visualization environment that parses open-source robotics repositories to generate interactive, 3D digital representations directly from CAD and source files. The library features models of popular open-source hardware systems—such as Enactic's OpenArm 2.0, Pollen Robotics' AmazingHand, RoboParty's Roboto Origin, and Menlo Research's Asimov 1 humanoid—while surfacing vital hardware specifications including geometry counts, source joints, and kinematic definitions to make open robotics designs easier to inspect and reproduce.

OrcaSAQ-2 27B compresses Qwen3.8 for local agents

FlashLabs announced the release of OrcaSAQ-2 27B, a mixed-precision quantized model built on Qwen3.8 specifically optimized for local long-horizon agentic tasks. Utilizing architecture-aware Orca Sensitivity-Aware Quantization that requires no calibration data, the release reduces the model's footprint from 55.59GB to 12.06GB while maintaining high token agreement across extended context windows.
