Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Google relaunched the Androidify app today, bringing back a beloved tool for generating social media avatars. The original app was popular for a time but was eventually retired as the classic bugdroid design grew dated. After Google’s new 3D ‘Bot’ design breathed new life into the Android mascot, fans wondered when they could create the same custom designs used by some Googlers.

wired.com Will Knight 2025-10-17 02:00:00

Atlas, the humanoid robot famous for its parkour and dance routines, has recently begun demonstrating something altogether more subtle but also a lot more significant: It has learned to both walk and grab things using a single artificial intelligence model. What is more, the robot’s single learning model is showing some tantalizingly “emergent” skills, like the ability to instinctively recover when it drops an item without having been trained to do so.

Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs move robotics into the physical AI era

The concept of physical AI is that many of the same algorithmic principles used to create large language models for text-based interactions can be applied to learning and replicating physical movements in the real world.
