Eka Robotics raises $150M to scale its vision-force-action model for robots

Eka Robotics announced a $150 million Series A to scale its vision-force-action model and customer deployments. The company says it trains the model with simulation and large-scale reinforcement learning to help robots generalize dexterous manipulation across objects and conditions. Eka reports roughly 1,500 operations per hour on out-of-training-distribution object picking, and says its robots can also screw in light bulbs and insert wires.

Generative Bionics plans Italian Physical AI Data Factory for humanoids

Generative Bionics plans a 5,000-square-meter Physical AI Data Factory in Italy, targeted to become operational by Q4 2027. Fleets of its GENE.01 humanoid will perform industrial tasks in reproduced work environments, collecting vision, motion, and full-body tactile data. The company says physical data and digital-twin simulations will support training and validation before customer deployment; AMD is its planned AI infrastructure partner. The facility is an announced plan, not an operational site.

South Korea plans regulatory changes to accelerate autonomous vehicles and mobile robots

South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced plans to ease approvals and establish operating rules for driverless vehicles and mobile robots. Measures include a fast-track permit for qualifying autonomous vehicles, a proposed service-operator framework for remote monitoring and emergency response, and sector-specific rules for robots in apartments, construction sites, parking and logistics facilities, and airports and railways. The plans are intended to move technologies from trials toward commercial services; their effects depend on future regulations and implementation.

Quadruped Robot Autonomously Solves a Giant Rubik’s Cube

IEEE Spectrum’s Video Friday features a quadruped robot autonomously solving a giant Rubik’s Cube using only its feet. The supplied article text gives no further details about the robot’s hardware, planning method, or performance, so the demonstration supports a claim of autonomous foot-based cube solving but not broader conclusions about its capabilities.
