Nice to meet you here, Haruka~ Welcome to join the Challenge Winter!

@everyone
Hi everyone,
We're launching D-Robotics Frontier, a technical series where we share our latest work and engineering progress across Embodied AI, world models, robot learning, and intelligent robotics.
The goal is to open up the technical work behind what we're building and create a space for deeper discussion with the robotics community.
**For our first session,** we'll take a deep dive into **Uranus**, **our data-driven robot simulation platform built around an interactive world model.**
October 15
20:00 GMT+8
D-Robotics Frontier #01: Uranus
registration: https://luma.com/tmtu4uge

Real-robot validation is costly and difficult to reproduce, while traditional physics-based simulation often requires substantial modeling effort and still faces the sim-to-real gap. Uranus explores a different approach: using a joint-trajectory-conditioned autoregressive diffusion world model to generate future multi-view observations from real robot data.
In the talk, we'll cover the full system, including:
- 3,300+ hours of real robot data curation and calibration recovery
- Causal training and distillation of a 1.3B-parameter world model
- Serving infrastructure reaching 24 FPS
- Long-horizon consistency and closed-loop policy evaluation
- Cross-embodiment generalization across multiple robot platforms
- Where the approach still breaks and what we've learned from those limitations

**We'll also share the code, model weights, and data as open source.**

If you're working on robot simulation, robot learning, world models, or embodied AI, we'd be glad to have you join the discussion.

@everyone
Summer is past, winter on the way; So it's time to announce the **RDK Challenge 2026 Winter**!
Registration is **OPEN NOW**

Two quick notes, depending on who you are

Returning builders (2026 Summer alumni)
Welcome back. You already have the toolchain and the muscle memory. Point your previous project at this season's task guide and you are a week ahead of the field. Iterate the robot you shipped in Summer, or go bigger - both count. Grab your alumni role below if you haven't yet.

First-timers
Some technical background helps - and that's what the community is for. Got a robot dream? Bring it. Free bootcamp, regular meetups, webinars and community mentors @Shockley , @RustedFriend (Isaac), @Richard_muhi and @Robostadion Kazuki Murata have you covered, and finishing all three stages earns a full board rebate. Dream big - we'll help you build it.

For everything you need - rules, task guide, registration, check this repo:

We've witnessed so many fabulous robot projects during the summer, now it's your turn to surprise the world!

Powered by the D-Robotics RDK dev kit, builders at Hack The North
created projects in just 36 hours!
Meet Goostriever, a voice-controlled retrieval robot built by @zrax1n
team.

"Bring me my bottle."
So they built a robot that can actually do it.
Give it a command. It identifies the right object, plans a route around the room, drives over, picks it up, and brings it back.

Under the hood: vision, navigation, an LLM planner, and an RDK S100 running ACT inference locally for the grasping action.

Built by YoshiBoiy's team Hack The North, Lloyd brings AI into the world of insurance, tackling a very different kind of real-world challenge.

The project combines AI-assisted underwriting, risk analysis, evidence, investigation, and privacy-aware document processing into one workflow. The RDK X5 performs local OCR, sensitive-field detection, redaction, and tokenization.
