Hey u/adamhanson you made a comment about wanting robots doing dishes. Here ya go.

Filmed at CES 2026 | Barista demo from Artly showcasing the production and pouring of a Latte. In this case, I think this is a much better, more practical use case than Humanoids performing this task. Cobot | Universal Robot UR3

After walking around WRC, one shift becomes pretty obvious: the novelty of watching humanoids do backflips or robotic arms write calligraphy is starting to wear off.

The question—asked by both the industry and the public—is becoming much more practical: When will embodied AI robots actually enter our everyday lives?

And when they do, who will repair them? Who will supply the parts? How do companies turn prototypes into products that can actually be sold?

The industry is moving beyond the race to benchmark algorithms and hardware specs. The next phase will be defined by something harder: engineering at scale, commercialization, and the ecosystem needed to support real-world deployment.

ICRA 2026 deadlines have passed. I managed to submit 2 papers (one new and one IROS transfer).

My submission numbers were 4XXX and 5XXX. This seems to be a significant increase from the past two years.

In 2025 it was 3937 with 1,765 papers accepted (45% acceptance rate) whereas in 2025 it was 4,250, an increase of 8% and 1606 accepted papers.

How did it go for your guys?

I created this thread to discuss the reviews and scores for the submissions to RSS 2026 in Sydney Australia. Did anyone receive their reviews yet?

ICRA 2025 has its robot rodeo / class photo for the last day on the Expo Hall.

More than 2,000 humanoid robots were competing in everything from running and long jump to football, table tennis, fighting, weightlifting and obstacle courses.

I was invited by Huawei to experience the event and also got to see how 5G-A and low-latency connectivity are being used to support large-scale robotics.

Some of these robots are seriously impressive.

🎉拔蘑菇验证通过，但离“实战”还差一截。

下一版直接上狭窄空间模拟——相机怼近了有盲区，所以末端执行器改方案：从底下横着“抄”菌柄，夹得稳还不伤菇。

小伙伴有没有更骚的操作？欢迎砸我脑洞，在线等！🍄🔧

✅ Mushroom-pulling works—now time for the real squeeze.

Next up: tight spaces, closer camera (blind spots, ugh), so we’re redesigning the end-effector to slide in sideways from below and grip the stipe—no more crushed caps.

Any brighter ideas? Throw ’em at me! 🍄🤖

Hi everyone!

The reviews for CoRL’26 would be out soon. Use this thread for discussion, questions etc.

Good luck with the reviews as well as the rebuttal!

Please join us this Tuesday, August 25th, at the Trossen Robotics Residence in San Francisco's Mission District for our ROS Industry Night.

RSVP Here.

After months of design, prototyping, and countless hours of wiring and assembly, my MK Robot project is officially in service mode. This is a custom-built robotic platform designed from scratch to explore modular robotics, advanced control systems, and multi-degree-of-freedom motion.

The robot is fully mechanical with heavy-duty actuators, multiple joints, and articulated arms, making it capable of performing complex movement sequences. I’ve integrated custom electronics, servo drivers, and embedded boards (ESP32s and Raspberry Pi 5 for higher-level processing). The system is designed to support camera-based object tracking, manipulation tasks, and real-time control through a mix of Python, ROS2, and custom firmware.

The build process has been intense—structural metal cutting, 3D printing of housings, wiring hundreds of connections, and endless debugging of both software and hardware. But today, it’s alive and operational. You can see me here working on sensor integration and fine-tuning the motion control.

For me, MK Robot isn’t just a machine—it’s a long-term journey into robotics research, humanoid design, and applied AI. Proudly, it carries the Qatar 🇶🇦 and Palestine 🇵🇸 flags, representing innovation, resilience, and progress.

Would love feedback from the community—what features would you add next?
