Recent Developments
- 2026-07-21: Acquired scenix robotics/simulation startup (2026-07-21-world-labs-scenix-acquisition)
- 2026-07-28: Published R2S2R (Real-to-Sim-to-Real) engine early results — one real task → thousands of sim variants; sim-only policies ran ~1 hour on ALOHA hardware (2026-07-28-world-labs-r2s2r-primary-blog)
- Sim evaluation preserved policy ranking on cube-handoff benchmarks across GR00T N1.6, π₀.₅ variants
- No public SDK/API announced as of Aug 2026
Benchmark scope limited to manipulation/cube-handoff tasks — not generalized robotics proof.
