Meta Connect 2026 is set up as Meta’s annual product launch where the company plans to share updates across AI-focused wearables and its VR and mixed-reality roadmap. Zuckerberg’s keynote is scheduled for September 23 at 7PM ET. Coverage suggests Meta could announce new smart glasses, including a camera-free pair rumored from prior concerns and a potential unannounced mixed-reality glasses product teased by a leak, while VR updates may remain scaled back.
MJWarp moved a MuJoCo robot pick-and-place workflow onto NVIDIA GPU simulation by porting a compatible MJCF model to batched Warp physics and validating that it matches the CPU setup. The walkthrough scales the same scene to 2,048 parallel MJWarp environments and advances them in one call to the step function on the GPU. The result is higher aggregate throughput (more world-steps per second) for reinforcement learning and large-scale sampling instead of focusing on single-environment step latency.
Microsoft Research reports that running physical AI inference only on a robot’s onboard GPU can reduce performance, battery life, and scalability, and that offloading inference to edge or cloud GPUs improves results for mobile manipulation. Offloading increased battery life by up to 160% when replacing an onboard GPU (measured on the Stretch-3 robot). The Physical AI Toolchain was updated with Kubernetes-based tooling that lets developers containerize, deploy, and orchestrate offloaded inference across robots, edge, and cloud.
