Working in humanoids and space exploration?
We're extending the call for contributions for Humanoids at the Edge until November 12, 11:59 PM AoE.
There's still time to submit!

I am helping to organize. Let me know if you have any questions.

(7/7) Finally, I like to urge everybody who’s in Robotics to try to design their own robot.
The joy of seeing the 3D model that you have in Fusion into Mojoco sim or IsaacLab with a policy and then build the robot in real life and seeing it move is probably one of the most joyful things one could experience.
Even half-finished, we took MABEL to the streets, and kids running up to wave, strangers stopping to ask questions. and the robot really brings a smile to other's face.
That joy was immeasurable, and that consistently reminds me why I love Robotics. 🤖❤️
Working on humanoids for hazardous operations, extreme environments, or space exploration? we want to hear what works, what fails, and how you measure progress.
Submit an extended abstract to "Humanoids at the Edge" at @HumanoidsConf 2026.
Dec 7 | Santa Clara
Deadline: Nov 6

We’ve been working with the world’s leading brands. They’ve tried 30 or more AI tools and agent, but no one comes close to where we are today.
Introducing IMAI: an AI workspace for building brands and products.
We help teams do more with less - save time, reduce costs, and work more efficiently.
Instead of using 20 different software tools and losing valuable information along the way, teams can collaborate on IMAI across the entire process of researching markets, designing products, planning production, and managing marketing, sales, retail, and finance.
And to make it even easier, teams can connect all their existing software tools to IMAI, bringing everything they need into one workspace.
And that’s not even 1% of what IMAI can do.
We reinvent the entire process of how physical products are created.
Explore IMAI today - imai.studio
If you’re in NYC and leading a team, meet us in person today!

Space robotics will be critical to the next era of space operations, with growing demand from low Earth orbit to the lunar surface.
