Today, @LightwheelAI is announcing a strategic partnership with @ManusMeta to build the data infrastructure backbone for Physical AI. In Physical AI, the quality of a robot's behavior follows directly from the quality of the human demonstration data behind it. Dexterous manipulation — the hardest and scarcest capability in robotics — depends on capturing the human hand with precision. That is where this partnership begins. MANUS captures human dexterity at the source, at 25 degrees of freedom per hand and millimeter precision. Lightwheel turns that high-quality data into robot-learning-ready datasets, then scales it through simulation, evaluation, and real-world deployment — an end-to-end Real2Sim2Real pipeline. As a core capture partner on Lightwheel's Human Data Capture Platform, MANUS brings its high-precision hand capture to an open foundation for standardized human data capture. The next generation of Physical AI will run on high-quality data — and we are building that foundation together. Read the full announcement: lightwheel.ai/media/lightwhe…

Geely's humanoid robots are now working on a live automotive production line — sorting and sequencing parts. The path from months per task to weeks: Lightwheel's Real2Sim2Real infrastructure. One continuous learning system — human data, simulation, deployment, and back: → EgoSuite captures how Geely's own operators work — first-person human data from the live line. → SimFoundry turns it into physics-grounded simulation, calibrated to Geely's real equipment. → Every failure on the line becomes the next lesson — and each cycle ships a stronger policy. Built on NVIDIA GR00T and NVIDIA Isaac. @NVIDIARobotics This is our continuous learning system for Physical AI — running in production. Full story 👉 : lightwheel.ai/media/geely-hu…

We brought together 100 of the brightest minds in physical AI for one great night. Food, drinks, robots, and the Chicago skyline. Thanks to everyone who came to our party at @AutomateShow, let's build the future of robotics together! #AutomateShow2026

Day 2 at @AutomateShow starts now. If Day 1 was any indication, it's going to be a good one. The floor is open and we're ready at booth 2491. Come talk about what it actually takes to deploy robots in the real world. We're here all day. #AUTOMATESHOW2026 #Robotics

Turns out a lot of people are tired of robots that work in the lab and fall apart on the floor. That was the theme of Day 1 at @AutomateShow. We’re having great conversations at booth 2491 about successful robot deployment and where Physical AI actually goes from here. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. If we missed you today, come find us! #automateshow2026 #robotics

Everyone building Industrial Physical AI will be at @AutomateShow 2026. On June 24, Lightwheel is bringing the best of them to one rooftop in Chicago. In the room: Founders shipping robots. Researchers behind robot learning. The simulation & infrastructure teams underneath it all. The investors funding it. Chicago skyline. Cocktails all night. A set from DJ JayFunk — in-game DJ for the Bulls, White Sox & Bears. And, mostly, the right people. Curated, and intentionally small.

We showed up to #CVPR2026. You showed up for us! Packed booth. Great party. This community around Physical Al is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, learned what we do, or just came to celebrate. This one meant a lot. See you at @AutomateShow!

Can humanoids assemble IKEA furniture? We’re inviting researchers to test their policies at the Humanoid IKEA Assembly Challenge at @ieeeras IROS 2026. Co-organized with @UnitreeRobotics, @LightwheelAI, @singaporetech, and more. We’re providing all the resources, more info ↓

Day 2 at #CVPR2026 was full of energy! We continue to see high interest in egocentric data capture and frontier model benchmarking. If you’re here for day 3, stop by and meet the team. #robotics

It's been a busy morning at the Lightwheel #CVPR2026 booth! Are you interested in learning about our latest developments in egocentric data capture, simulation, and frontier model benchmarking? Stop by booth 323. #Robotics #PhysicalAI

@bgxc & his team @LightwheelAI are crushing it! #icra2026

What does it take to build the continuous learning system for Physical AI? 🤖 At #ICRA2026, @bgxc, Founder & CEO of @LightwheelAI, will share how Lightwheel’s simulation-centric data engine turns world generation, behavior data, and rigorous model evaluation into a continuous learning system for humanoids and frontier robotics teams.

We're adopting the Linux Foundation’s OpenMDW framework across our open model families. This helps make open model licensing simpler and more consistent at scale. A single legal framework across models, code, documentation, and data helps reduce friction for developers and enterprises building with open source.

Next stop: CVPR 2026! At CVPR, @LightwheelAI will showcase the data simulation infrastructure behind Physical AI: 🤖 Data: EgoSuite for scalable egocentric human behavior data 📊 Evaluation: RoboFinals for large-scale policy testing, with Newton-native workflows for contact-rich and deformable tasks 🚀 Deployment: Real-to-Sim-to-Real workflows that turn evaluation insights into faster robot iteration and validation See you in Denver.

Logistics is where dexterous hand manipulation gets tested for real. Packages shift under the hand. Soft parcels deform during grasping. Contact changes with every manipulation. That is why warehouse sorting needs to be evaluated in simulation before real-world deployment. @LightwheelAI builds evaluation infrastructure to expose failures, measure performance, and close the loop from testing to deployment for industrial teams. #PhysicalAI #Robotics #Simulation #Evaluation #DexterousManipulation #LogisticsAutomation
