Physical Intelligence Team Unveils MEM for Robots: A Multi-Scale Memory System Giving Gemma 3-4B VLAs 15-Minute Context for Complex Tasks
Current end-to-end robotic policies, specifically Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, typically operate on a single observation or a very short history. This ‘lack of memory’ makes long-horizon tasks, such as cleaning a kitchen or following a complex recipe, computationally intractable or prone to failure. To address this, researchers from Physical Intelligence, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and MIT have introduced Multi-Scale Embodied Memory (MEM)

👨🏿🚀TechCabal Daily – South Africa vs. the house
Image Source: SMH The air route between Africa and Asia recorded 41.6% growth in cargo demand in January 2026 compared to a year earlier, making it the fastest-growing trade lane in the world, according to new data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Global air cargo demand, by comparison, grew just 5.6%. Between the lines: January marked the seventh consecutive month of strong expansion on the corridor, and African carriers as a whole posted the highest regional cargo growth—for shipments including electronics and industrial items—at 18.2%, outpacing Middle Eastern, Asian, and European airlines.

Bell says Warner Bros. content to remain on Crave ‘for the foreseeable future’ amid Paramount buyout
Bell says Crave users won’t have to worry about losing access to Warner Bros. titles, which include HBO, amid Paramount’s planned acquisition of the entertainment giant. At least, not yet, anyway. In a statement to Broadcast Dialogue, a Bell spokesperson said Warner Bros. content will remain on Crave “for the foreseeable future” as part of a “long-term deal.” However, the company didn’t provide a more specific window, so it’s unclear exactly how much time that entails.

Hubble and Euclid Team Up on the Cat’s Eye Nebula, the Cosmic Eye That Stares Back
Astronomers have just released a stunning new image of the Cat’s Eye Nebula, combining two distinct views: one from NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which provides incredibly sharp details of the nebula, and another from the Euclid telescope, which paints broad brushstrokes of the larger cosmic scene. This planetary nebula, NGC 6543, is quite large, situated some 4,400 light years away in the constellation Draco and resembling a gazing eye with shimmering shells of gas that the dying star has emitted in a succession of last breaths as it nears the end of its existence.
