Their partnership is a new milestone in humanoid robotics, as it combines simulation, learning, and real-world testing to create adaptive, real-time robotic solutions.
EuroStack, EU OS, and Anti-Davos
A few months after Trump’s election, Europe finally seems to be waking up. It is still uncertain whether this awakening will lead to concrete results, but we are already hearing about some promising initiatives that could, at least in principle, bring positive change. The good news is that these initiatives come not only from the political sphere but also from various business players. Even though the approaches differ, they all share the goal of focusing more on internal consumption.

GTC 2025: NVIDIA's Blackwell-Based Servers and DGX Station
The GTC (GPU Technology Conference), held annually since 2009, will be hosted by NVIDIA this year from March 17 to 21. The conference is designed to showcase the latest developments and to promote collaboration and further innovation across different industries. It is attended mainly by developers, researchers, and technology leaders. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has been saying for some time that companies will become token factories in the future—meaning that every workflow will be supported by artificial intelligence. Currently, large servers play a major role in this process, but AI integration will increasingly extend to personal computers. In the future, computers and laptops will have hardware capable of running even large language models in the background. This is necessary because programmers, engineers, and almost everyone will work with AI assistance.
Figure AI Prepares for Mass Production of Humanoid Robots
