PhoneBot : a small humanoid robot that relies on an Android smartphone to sense its surroundings and control its movements Their proposed system could make robotics experiments more accessible for students and researchers worldwide The phone also runs the software controlling the robot's movements. It sends commands over Wi-Fi to a small onboard computer, which forwards them to the motors PhoneBot has 13 motors: six in each leg and one that rotates its torso. This additional joint allows the camera to turn sideways while the robot's feet remain planted ▶️ #AI #Robotics techxplore.com/news/2026-10-…

AgentHands : Handedness & gesture : Choosing between one or two hands and selecting from a library of forms, such as a “palm” for caution or a “cylindrical grip” to mimic holding a tool Spatiality : Leveraging the depth of XR to determine where hands should live. They can be mid-air for general conversation, object-anchored for identifying specific parts, or user-relative for social cues Temporal dynamics & visual effects (VFX) : Gestures in XR aren't just static poses; they include animated motions like “pouring” or “tracing”. Also utilize XR’s unique visual layer by adding effects, such as a red glow to signify a heat warning ▶️ #AI #XR #Google research.google/blog/agentha…

HackerRank is betting AI can change not only how interviews are conducted, but also what employers can measure Beyond whether someone arrives at the right answer, the startup wants to assess harder-to-capture signals such as critical thinking and judgment, as well as what it calls “AI fluency” : how well a candidate frames a problem for AI, judges its output, and steers it toward a solution ▶️ #AI #HybridWork techcrunch.com/2026/10/05/ha…

SensorFM : a foundation model for wearable health pre-trained on more than 1 Trillion minutes of sensor data from 5M people By co-scaling model size and data, SensorFM learns a general-purpose representation of human physiology that transfers to 35 health prediction tasks, supports label-efficient adaptation and data infilling, and can serve as a grounding tool for a " Personal Health Agent " ▶️ #AI #DigitalHealth #Google research.google/blog/sensorf…

MOVIA™ Air Plus generating a 3D map of an unknown environment in real time by combining lidar and camera data, processing it onboard and streaming the resulting intelligence back to an operator on the ground In addition, the ability for MicroVision to process the resulting data directly to ATAK is a huge operational advantage: squads are able to share the information quickly within their existing data processing ecosystem With SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping), the system can also map an unknown environment while simultaneously determining its own position within that map – opening the door to autonomous navigation in GNSS-denied environments where GPS may be unavailable or intentionally disrupted ▶️ #AI #Robotics #Drones V / @MicroVision microvision.com/insights/lid…
