We trained a locomotion policy that got our humanoid robot Asimov to walk. Here's how we trained the locomotion policy for Asimov's legs with observation tables, reward weights, and code: news.asimov.inc/p/teaching-...

We're gathering AI & robotics researchers, engineers, and builders together tonight.
7 teams from @asimovinc to @OpenAI are showing what they've built 🧡
National Library, Level 7 - Launch Programme Room.
Doors open 6:30pm, demos start 7pm. luma.com/291zsbzo
Happy New Year everyone 🧡
If you're looking for recipes for tonight, check out chat.jan.ai. If you want to see the early stages of a robot you can build yourself, check out asimov.inc.
2026 brings more capable agents, new products, and open-source repos from Menlo.
We're looking for an HR Business Partner in Singapore to help us thoughtfully build the team, culture, and foundations behind a growing global AI and robotics company. menlo.bamboohr.com/careers/115

Asimov is ready to walk around. Imitation data is now running on the robot, motors moving in sync, joint limits established, and the mechanical and electrical stack operating together.

The hips use a F.A.R. layout: Flexion, Abduction, Rotation. All actuators line up on one plane. It's a clean way to explore stride, balance, and motion efficiency.

We keep the core frame flexible so we can change the form or control setup easily. Nothing here is final, it's a testbed that evolves as we do.

It's less about perfect structure and more about learning what works. We're tweaking joints, testing control, breaking parts, and fixing them the next day. Every version walks a bit differently.

We're going to have a pair of humanoid robot legs running around without a body soon.
We started building them because the humanoids you can buy aren't made for experiments, so we're building something we can actually experiment with.
Dear Sim Lim Square folks, you might soon see a pair of robot legs walking around without a body. Please don't call security. They're just out for a walk.
