What's New

A G1 that squatted could not stand back up: the stand-up call reported "robot is on ground" and bounced between states. Fixed on the real robot, along with the deeper confusion between control mode and physical posture.

The EngineAI T800 driver grows a speaker, walking with real gaits, a motion recorder, and a posture switch that always routes through standing — plus honest state reporting instead of guesses.

The RealMan RM75-6F-V driver is available. Seven joints in one card, a pre-move self-check that refuses unsafe commands instead of moving first, motion that only reports done when the arm has actually arrived, a full set of live state cards, and a 3D skeleton view.

The BrainCo Revo 2 dexterous hand now has a driver: open and close, per-finger positions, preset gestures, live joint telemetry, LED and button events, and fingertip touch on the tactile model — with two hands on one bus.

Feishu channels now work in group chats as well as direct messages, replies land on the message that triggered them, images and files come through, other bots can be allowed in one at a time, and roles are managed from a panel in the dashboard.

The RobotEra Q5 driver adds waist rotation as a first-class control, and fixes the arm gestures: no more mirrored high-five, no more jerky motion, and a reset that brings both arms home together.

The PNDbotics Adam humanoid now has a stereo depth camera and per-finger hand control — it can judge how far away something is and shape its hand to pick it up.

The T800 can now turn and tilt its head to face whoever is speaking, and greet people with a wave or a handshake — the small gestures that make an interaction feel human.

The ROBOTERA Q5 wheeled humanoid is now supported: dual-arm manipulation with 11-DOF dexterous hands, a liftable torso, and LiDAR-based autonomous navigation.

Wiring up ASR, an LLM and TTS takes an afternoon. Holding a conversation that gets interrupted is a different problem. Three failures from the field — you cannot get a word in, a grunt becomes a command, the answer finishes before the action does — and the mechanisms each one forced: priority routing, three interrupt modes, and a completion protocol. Including one knob we found is not actually wired up.

Speech recognition can now run on the GPU for roughly 2.5× faster turnaround per utterance. It's opt-in, because the speed costs memory — the default stays on CPU.

The canvas now shows when someone else is editing, so two people working on the same robot stop silently undoing each other's changes.
