Charlie Kemp describes his work building assistive mobile robots with arms for homes and workplaces through Hello Robot. He co-led work that won an IEEE-RAS best paper award in 2006. The focus shifts from programming robots in isolation to designing for real-world people, which guides how the robots are built for independence.

SAIL is introduced by Sakana AI and the University of Tokyo to improve VLM-based robot trajectory generation using test-time scaling and simulator feedback. Increasing the MCTS search budget from 1 to 45 candidates in simulation raised the average success rate from 25% to 73%. As a result, the approach produces more reliable trajectories by iteratively revising candidates before sending only the selected one to the physical robot.

The U.S. Air Force took delivery of its first two Collaborative Combat Aircraft wingman drones, the Anduril YFQ-44A Fury and the General Atomics YFQ-42A Vengeance, and sent them to the Experimental Operations Unit at Creech Air Force Base. The Air Force set a target unit price averaging $20 million (about 17 million euros) and says the drones cost about one third of an F-35A. This shifts the CCA effort from testing into operational fielding for uncrewed AI-controlled combat aircraft that fly alongside crewed fighters.

The biggest story today isn’t a single model release—it’s the plumbing getting thicker, especially for agentic AI. Nebius says it has struck deals with early-stage UK AI labs as it expands its GPU data-centre and compute offering in the UK, building on a planned £1.7bn build-out and an expanding London hub. That push rhymes with Britain’s British Business Bank, which announced £180m across six AI and deeptech VC funds, including £55m into Intrepid Growth Partners’ AI-focused Fund I, and with Nvidia’s own UK signal: CEO Jensen Huang announced minority-stake plans in five startups—Boltz, Foresight, Hiverge, Prima Mente, and Riverlane.
