AI's hardest unsolved problems lie in the physical world. We showcased our agentic scientist last week at Critical Mass for NYC Tech Week. Thank you @Newlab for having us and bringing together the teams developing critical technologies in NYC.

ニューヨークのブルックリンにあるディープテックのイノベーションハブNewlabに初めて行けた！ 建物内のフランスのStation Fをメカニカルにしたような見た目。 入居企業がパネルとプロダクトのデモを紹介している横で、DJブースとバーカウンターやタロット占いなどのアミューズメントがお迎えしてくれた。 #NYTechWeek

@forbesjapan visits Birdstop in Detroit for a closer look at American reindustrialization. Thank you to @emy_wng for spending an afternoon on the Birdstop manufacturing floor. This two part series covers Birdstop alongside @noxmetals, @640oxford, @Newlab and @beaconmfg. “Attracted by this manufacturing base, some startups focused on ‘reindustrialization’ are relocating to Detroit. One example is Birdstop, which develops autonomous drone infrastructure. ‘Detroit is where the speed of Silicon Valley and the industrial power of America intersect,’ says Keith Miao, CEO of Birdstop. ‘This city built the modern automotive industry, and now it's redefining manufacturing in the age of software and AI.’” Read the whole article here: Part 1: forbesjapan.com/articles/det… Part 2: forbesjapan.com/articles/det… #MadeInMichigan #Detroit #HardTech #Autonomy

Humanoid robots can walk. They still can’t work. That’s why @KyberLabsRobots is going after the hardest problem in robotics: dexterous manipulation. If robots can’t use their hands, nothing else matters. This is what unlocks the factory of the future.

Demo showing our system doing autonomous assembly of a part! What else should we have it do? And if you want a hand, wait list is open here! airtable.com/appbuPsRZGM5IYJ…

more robots in space = more humans in space @Icarus_Robotics

vomit comets, pre-space testing and the @Icarus_Robotics path to launch! always great to chat with @StrongReporter podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Detroit has always been defined by motion, from building the automobile industry and highways to global manufacturing. At Michigan Central and @Newlab, that legacy is evolving upward as drones, digital airways and real-time data create a new era of mobility. PC: Birdstop

Astronauts do work no one else can. But it costs $130K/hour to keep them in orbit, and some of that time is spent on...chores. So two Newlab founders asked a simple question: what if robots did that? Now @Icarus_Robotics is building the first robotic labor force for space.

Last week, 400 founders, investors, and partners joined us for Critical Mass: Vol. III, Bangers in Detroit. Big thanks to @noxmetals, blueflite, @ObservableSpace, @ShandokaCycles, Ecosphere Organics, @Aerialoop_com, Cambrian Robotics, ThermoVerse & wheel.me.

What do drones, trains, self-driving, and space tech have in common? They all showed up at last night’s @Newlab New Mobility Futures event.

Party in a factory @Newlab X @reindsummit

Join us tomorrow for Critical Mass Volume Two: Stay Grounded, cohosted by @Techweek_ and @a16z. Join waitlist here: partiful.com/e/KKRYDoEIP3CSO… June 3rd | 5-8PM @ Newlab Brooklyn Enjoy food, drinks, music, and a few surprises while we celebrate eight incredible startups!

Contech Alliance and @nyrobotics hosted their recent construction robotics event at Newlab Brooklyn. Attendees convened to explore cutting-edge tech solutions reshaping the construction industry—see photos below 🔽 Stay up to date with events at Newlab: newlab.com/newsletter-signup

On 1/7, devastating wildfires roared across LA. From @CarbonOrigins' firefighting robots to @armada_ai's satellite connectivity solutions, Newlab's network of startups are responding, bridging gaps in LA's emergency response infrastructure: newlab.com/blogs/critical-te…

“By systematically integrating emerging technologies across the mining value chain, we aim to develop a new playbook that de-risks mine development from resource to reserve.” Sign up for our New/Letter for insights into mining, critical minerals & more: newlab.com/newsletter-signup

Newlab BK hosted "Space Ships & Space Chips", an event for space tech enthusiasts to explore opportunities in the space domain—featuring founder stories, an art exhibit by @azelinskie, & more! Thank you to our co-hosts @AIN_ventures, @EmpireSpaceNY @AlumniVentures. 🚀

Heading to #sxsw2025? Catch up w/ us at the conference on 3/8 for a session on innovation hubs & human-centered design feat. Kristine Colosimo, Newlab’s VP of Public Affairs: schedule.sxsw.com/2025/event… We’ll also be at 🇨🇦 House on 3/10 Midwest House on 3/11 (no badge required)!
