The companies plan to expand into vision sensing and robotic hands for humanoid robots, with solutions to be unveiled at next year's CES and GTC.
- What's unique about Gecko Robotics' contracts with Nvidia & the US Navy: CEO
Gecko Robotics CEO Jake Loosararian says the company's US Navy contract has grown from $71 million awarded in April to $300 million, more than quadrupling, to help the military branches stay ready. The robots gather data that feeds the company's AI systems, helping shipyards and dry docks repair and maintain ships faster and return them to service. Loosararian says the company has deployed in critical environments for 13 years and has a robust security architecture to keep sensitive data private, including with the Navy. A recently announced Nvidia partnership adds deployment of AI agents in these environments, and the Navy-specific robot Komodo was built alongside experts and designed to keep humans in control. He argues the technology gives workers insights and repair capabilities they never had before, claiming China does not have any of this.
- Bear Robotics Launches KINO-2 Through Engineering Collaboration with NVIDIA
Bear Robotics announced KINO-2, a robot-learning platform that turns task demonstrations into deployable manipulation skills on its KR1 humanoid robot, extending its robots from moving goods to handling them. Bear has deployed over 16,000 robots, mostly service robots, at over 5,000 customer locations, and is piloting manipulation tasks such as supermarket returns and warehouse crate handling. KINO-2 uses NVIDIA Isaac OS as the core of its perception runtime, and with TensorRT and quantization, Bear cut GR00T inference time from about 500 milliseconds to around 60 milliseconds, roughly an 8x speedup in internal measurements. Bear's in-house model also reached a 4.2x speedup, falling from 72.3 to 17.2 milliseconds. KINO-2 is being launched at NVIDIA GTC Berlin, where Bear is demonstrating KR1 running it.
- Sereact, NVIDIA, Nebius, CEVA Logistics and Zalando Close the Training Loop for Robotic Returns Handling
Sereact, NVIDIA, Nebius, CEVA Logistics and Zalando announced a closed training loop for Cortex, Sereact's robot brain, first deployed on Zalando returns handling at selected CEVA Logistics fulfillment centers. Episodes recorded at the returns stations are stored on Nebius, turned into thousands of simulated variants with NVIDIA Isaac Lab, and re-rendered across garment states, packaging, materials and lighting with NVIDIA Cosmos before Cortex is post-trained on Blackwell GPUs. A new policy is scored on held-out variants against a threshold set by Sereact; passing policies go to a real-world test at the stations, while failing ones trigger targeted variants for missed cases and another training run. An AI agent builds and runs the loop, previewing GPU cost and checking the gate, while Sereact engineers set goals and approve runs above a cost limit. The partners say a fix that once took weeks can now return as a tested policy update within days.
- NVIDIA Advances Isaac Platform for General-Purpose Robotics With New Reference Humanoid, Frameworks, Simulation Pipelines and Data
NVIDIA has unveiled updates to its Isaac platform for general-purpose robotics, including Isaac OS, Isaac Lab 3.0 and open source reference workflows. Agile Robots introduced Agile ONE SN, a humanoid reference platform built on Isaac GR00T and Jetson Thor, scheduled for availability in early 2027 with planned integration of the Halos safety stack. European players such as ABB Robotics, KUKA and Universal Robots are also building on NVIDIA's open platform. NVIDIA says these technologies give developers a faster path from data to real-world deployment.
- Reply Earns "NVIDIA Physical AI Specialization" for Production-Ready Robotics and Digital Twins
Reply [EXM, STAR: REY] is among the first NVIDIA partners worldwide to earn the Physical AI Specialization within the NVIDIA Partner Network, recognizing its expertise in deploying AI-driven robotics and digital twins in real operating environments. The award followed a technical assessment covering a customer implementation, solution architecture, certified OpenUSD expertise and its development roadmap. A current example is Roboverse Reply's work with Otto Group and NVIDIA on a virtual control system at the Hermes Fulfilment logistics centre in Loehne, Germany, which connects autonomous mobile robots from different manufacturers to fleet-management and warehouse systems. Simulating and validating new layouts and workflows in NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac before deployment speeds integration, reduces the risk of testing in live operations, and provides a blueprint for other Otto Group sites.

- Did Wall Street forget about Tesla's Cybercab?
Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi discusses Tesla (TSLA)'s Cybercab expansion and its relevance amid a possible merger with SpaceX (SPCX). Elon pointed to 2 million cumulative unsupervised robotaxi miles by quarter-end, Austin operating hours now run 6:00 a.m. to midnight, and more Cybercabs are expected in more cities in coming months. The Austin Cybercab fleet has grown by a factor of 10 since launch about a month ago. Tesla shares fell partly because the company cut capex by $5 billion, which Sozzi attributes to Optimus robot production bottlenecks rather than the Cybercab. He argues that with merger talks being explored, investors should start thinking of SpaceX and Tesla as one company.
- Crypto for Advisors: Stablecoins are ready for prime time
CoinDesk's Crypto for Advisors newsletter cites an EY-Parthenon 2026 Blockchain Payments Survey of 521 corporate and financial institution decision-makers. It found 18% of corporates have used stablecoins in production, double the 2025 share, while 15% report adopting tokenized deposits. Some 69% of financial institutions offer or plan to launch stablecoin services within two years, up from 30% in 2025. Cross-border business payments are the leading use case, and 45% of corporates and 53% of financial institutions favor using both stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Corporates strongly prefer blockchain payments integrated into existing banking interfaces (74%), and 63% would likely adopt them if offered by their current bank or payments provider.
- Is USA Rare Earth Stock a Once-in-a-Generation Reshoring Opportunity?
The article examines whether USA Rare Earth (USAR) can help the U.S. and its allies secure critical minerals, given China's dominance in rare-earth extraction and processing. China banned rare-earth exports in October 2025 in response to U.S. tariffs and chip restrictions; the ban was later temporarily lifted, though some Chinese companies have canceled U.S. exports, and China has also banned technology exports to USA Rare Earth and MP Materials. USAR shares are down roughly 15% in 2026 and about 74% from their lifetime high last October. Excluding the recently acquired Brazil-based Serra Verde, the company is essentially pre-revenue, though U.S. government supply agreements offer some pricing floor protection. With a market cap of roughly $4 billion and a target of about $1.8 billion in EBITDA for 2030, the author sees a worthwhile risk-reward profile for risk-tolerant investors, while stressing the stock is not low-risk.
- Nebius Declines 6% Despite Fresh Citi Financing; CoreWeave Drops 5%, Cloudflare Edges Higher
Nebius (NBIS) fell 6% to $162.03 despite a new senior secured credit facility from Citi, which matures in just under a year and is meant to fund data center development and GPU purchases while the company seeks longer-term asset-backed financing. CoreWeave (CRWV) dropped 5% to $58.86, while Cloudflare (NET) rose 2% to $313.35, with the article framing the selling as concentrated among neoclouds that rely on debt. A Barclays strategist noted that AI-spending credit stress has stayed largely confined to neocloud companies. Nebius has $37.5 billion in remaining performance obligations, $8.13 billion in capital spending, and three customers each accounting for a double-digit share of quarterly sales. The article says the Citi line adds to leverage concerns, making the timing and terms of the next financing a key test.
- How agentic AI shopping changes consumer staples: P&G CFO
P&G reported strong first-quarter earnings and reiterated its full-year revenue forecast. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, CFO Andre Schulten said that people using its products remains the core of the business, but the consumer's path to purchase is changing as AI agents buy on people's behalf, so P&G is proactively working out how agent-to-agent marketing works and how to distribute brand information. He said the company is also using decades of collected data and simpler algorithms to speed up molecule discovery, automate data extraction and analysis, and make forecasting more efficient. On marketing, he said algorithms weigh credibility, so P&G plans to publish and make accessible its scientific publications, independent studies and consumer reviews, an approach he believes gives big brands an advantage.
- SpaceX Just Became an AI Company. The Numbers Prove It.
SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue up 161% year over year to $14.6 billion and net income of $4.4 billion, making it profitable. Its AI segment, now called 'super intelligence (SI),' generated $7.6 billion in revenue, up 830% year over year and 195% sequentially, making it just over half of sales and the largest revenue source. Connectivity remains the most profitable segment with $2.4 billion in operating income, versus $431 million for SI, which lost $1.26 billion last quarter. SI accounted for $16.4 billion of the company's $19.6 billion in Q3 capital expenditures, but the results should ease concerns that it is a money pit, as cloud agreements with Alphabet and Anthropic and $608 million of Cursor revenue since its August acquisition show the investments are paying off. The author notes the stock remains richly valued.
