• The State of Robotics in 2026: A Citation-Grounded Survey of Research and Companies

  3 May, 2026

  A citation-grounded survey of robotics research as it stands in May 2026 — VLA foundation models (RT-2, OpenVLA, π0, π0.5, Helix, Gemini Robotics), imitation-learning architectures (Diffusion Policy, ACT/ALOHA, RDT-1B), cross-embodiment data (Open X-Embodiment, DROID), whole-body humanoid control (HOVER, ASAP, OmniH2O), reward design with LLMs (Eureka, DrEureka), world models for robotics (Cosmos, Genie, 1X), simulators (Isaac Lab, Genesis, RoboCasa), and the company landscape (Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, Agility, 1X, Unitree, Physical Intelligence, Skild AI, XPENG, UBTECH, Fourier). With venue-by-venue references from ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, CoRL, RSS, ICRA, and Science Robotics.

• The Edge of Artificial Intelligence Research: A Citation-Grounded Survey from ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS (2023–2026)

  28 Apr, 2026

  A domain-by-domain survey of the artificial intelligence research frontier, grounded in specific papers from ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, and adjacent venues (CoRL, CVPR, Nature). Covers natural language processing, speech, video, sound, robotics/VLA, biology, 3D generation, diffusion architecture, and the renaissance of reinforcement learning and world models. The through-line: pretraining is no longer the frontier — test-time compute, generative simulators, and embodied grounding are.
