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!

Vision becomes physical. As AI moves from seeing the world to acting in it, the next challenge is building a continuous learning system across data, simulation, evaluation, and real world execution. During #CVPR2026, @LightwheelAI is bringing the Physical AI community together in Denver with @NVIDIARobotics. Expect drinks, food, light DJ, and high quality conversations across vision, robotics, world models, Physical AI data, simulation, and deployment. 📍 Denver 🗓 June 5, 2026 🕖 7 to 11 PM MDT Request your invite through the QR code. See you in Denver. #PhysicalAI #ComputerVision #Robotics #Simulation #EmbodiedAI

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.
OpenMDW-1.1 is now available — and @NVIDIAAI is adopting it across Cosmos, Isaac GR00T, Ising, and Nemotron model families. A permissive, unified legal framework purpose-built for AI models. Learn more at openmdw.ai

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

60 teams have submitted to the LeHome Challenge 2026. We are now in the evaluation stage. Folding clothes is easy for humans. Still brutally hard for robots. That is why LeHome focuses on deformable object manipulation, one of the hardest open problems in robotics. Phase 1 wrapped with teams submitting policies across four folding tasks: long sleeves, short sleeves, pants, and shorts. 16 winners will have Phase 2 awards. The top 8 teams will compete live at ICRA 2026 on June 4. #Robotics #PhysicalAI #EmbodiedAI

@LightwheelAI closed $100M in Q1 2026 orders. This marks the start of Physical AI at scale. Two forces are converging: frontier model teams need high-quality data at scale, and industrial companies need systems built for deployment. Both point to the same requirement: a continuous infrastructure loop across simulation, data, evaluation, and deployment. Lightwheel marks this shift by turning Physical AI infrastructure into a deployment engine. Read more: lightwheel.ai/media/q1-order… #Robotics #PhysicalAI #EmbodiedAI #IndustrialAI #Automation

Tokyo sits at the center of one of the most active humanoid ecosystems in the world, and @LightwheelAI is heading to @HumanoidsSummit Japan to meet the teams pushing it forward. Learn about our simulation-centric data engine that accelerates how humanoids learn, evaluate, and move toward real-world deployment. Come visit booth 232–233 to see how Lightwheel's simulation infrastructure fits into your stack. 📍 Booth 232–233 📅 May 28–29, 2026 📍 Tokyo, Japan #HumanoidsSummit #PhysicalAI #HumanoidRobots #Robotics #Simulation #EmbodiedAI

Hannover is over. The next industrial robotics revolution has begun. One thing was clear across @hannover_messe: Industrial robots are moving into variable, cluttered, real-world environments where fixed programming is no longer enough. They need to learn from data, and industrial-scale data requires physically grounded simulation. At @LightwheelAI, we showcased the infrastructure behind that shift: simulation, data, evaluation, and deployment connected into one Physical AI stack. See you next at ICRA and CVPR!

Packed booth on Day 3 at @hannover_messe. A lot of the conversations this week have pointed to the same thing: industrial teams are looking for more than robotics demos. They want infrastructure that can actually move Physical AI toward deployment. At @LightwheelAI, we’re showing the answer through physically grounded simulation, scalable data, and deployment-focused evaluation. This is what it takes to move from demo to deployment.

What does it take to make simulation useful for Physical AI? It starts with physics you can trust. At @hannover_messe, we’re showcasing Physical Measurement Factory, @LightwheelAI's system for capturing real world physical properties and turning them into simulation assets robots can actually learn from. That is the kind of infrastructure Physical AI needs. Watch it in action at Booth Hall 26, E26/2 Read more: lightwheel.ai/media/simready #HM26 #PhysicalAI #IndustrialAI #Robotics #Simulation #Sim2Real

Most industrial robots can demo. Few can deploy. At @hannover_messe, Our 5-minute video shows how @LightwheelAI helps industrial teams go from simulation → data → evaluation → deployment with one integrated Industrial AI stack.
