1/ Better robot models come from better data.

That takes two things: hardware that captures it fully, and tooling that turns it into training signal.

We built the first. Today, @GroundedSI launches the second: Grounded API. Access both hardware + API ↓

We’re excited to announce our collaboration with @BitRobotNetwork, an open robotics network bringing together contributors, data, and infrastructure for Physical AI.

ZenO is launching SN/05 on BitRobot, connecting real-world Physical AI data collected through the ZenO iPhone ader robotics ecosystem.

Through this collaboration, approved data contributions from ZenO can become part of a broader robotics data network, while opening up additional rewards for contributors.

1/ SN/05 is live on BitRobot, built with @ZenO4AI.

We’re scaling egocentric data with ZenO: first-person iPhone demos of real-world tasks, captured with ARKit spatial tracking and structured for robot learning.

5/ Each recording pairs first-person video with iPhone's ARKit spatial tracking, capturing the camera’s position and orientation in 3D, frame by frame.

The video shows hand motions and objects, and the depth information anchors them in real space. Both are key signals for world policies.

Congrats to the Princeton team on their #CoRL2026 acceptance, tested zero-shot on the @frodobots Earth Rover!

Action Self-Distillation (ASD) lets a VLM teach itself language-conditioned navigation from robot trajectories alone and no human labels.

It hit 84% success indoors and 95% outdoors across 13 real-world tasks.
Can robots learn to reason and act with NO human-annotated language or reasoning labels?

Introducing Action Self-Distillation (ASD), one model that teaches itself language goal-conditioned reasoning and navigation directly from robot demonstrations. #CoRL 2026🤖

Sooo cool to still see folks pushing navigation research! Equally awesome to see our Earth Rovers being used in this research! Congrats @BowenFengbf @shahdhruv_ & team!
We find that a VLM can teach itself to understand language goals, reason about them, and command robot actions -- we call this Action Self-Distillation!

ASD can perform language navigation by outperforming any VLA trained on hand-annotated data.

Another subnet is coming online to the BitRobot Network tomorrow.

Have you set up your Lab Access ID to earn Bolts?

Here's a sneak peak of the gear you will need to position yourself for dual rewards again.

Special Shoutout to our friends in @anvil_robotics @AGIBOTofficial @MeckaAI @xdofai @robocurve @cortexairobot @makermodsai @GenrobotAI @eastworlds_io @BitRobotNetwork @ScaleAILabs @LeRobotHF @huggingface @roborobots @ROBOTIS for helping us with our early beta testing across Asia, Europe, and the Americas Europe and America 🌍.

A truly global stress test of Dream-1 before our launch!
@robocurve Anywhere you have an internet connection, you can prompt Dream-1 to control your robot.

Here are rollouts from beta testers from 8 countries, and from our office in SF.

Congrats to @axisrobotics on their TGE.

SN/04 contributors who completed the Axis Alliance tasks were rewarded twice, in Axis points and BitRobot Bolts.

Thanks @KhalaResearch for this deep dive into robot learning and how industry leaders are tackling the data bottleneck.

Great to see our subnet partner @axisrobotics featured alongside BitRobot’s ecosystem crowdsourcing data across teleoperation, simulation, and ego video!
Robotics is still waiting for its "ChatGPT" moment

Language models had the internet to learn from, while robots need diverse physical demonstrations that are expensive to collect

Bessemer estimated just 300,000 hours of robot manipulation data globally in April, while others require 100M+ training hours

Bessemer projects $3B+ in robot-data spending over two years

Open networks are using crypto incentives to coordinate contributors across simulation, teleoperation and human video collection

Axis reports 7M+ trajectories from 220K+ contributors, with its data lifting task success from 83.9% to 88.8% on the LIBERO-Plus simulation benchmark

Our latest report explores the data opportunity through Axis, BitRobot, Eastworlds & THOR

Thank you @atlasberry008 for this in-depth intro to the RoboCap platform with data enrichment from @GroundedSI

We're cooking new earning opportunities for the RoboCap subnet in the coming weeks. Stay tuned 👀
BitRobot will pay you to wear a $500 hat at work.

Six cameras, pointed at your hands.

Robots have almost no training data, but people have all of it.

So the hats are going into bakeries, hotels and factories.

I would rather own what the humanoids learn from than fund the humanoids.

The first Humanoid IKEA Assembly Challenge, co-organized with @UnitreeRobotics, @LightwheelAI and @singaporetech, took place at @ieeeiros.

9 global teams tested their loco-manipulation policies to assemble an IKEA UTTER children’s table. Full results ↓

A major robotics challenge is getting lab-trained policies to work reliably in the real world. Lighting, noise, crowds, and unfamiliar settings are all externalities.

That’s why we run the Grand Challenges: to test generalization in new environments, measure consistency, and set benchmarks that push robotics beyond the lab.
