Thank you @huggingface @LeRobotHF for partnering with @BitRobotNetwork @DJiafei and us on the @RoboColosseum project!
@eaic_sg similarly believes that a thriving open-source robotics ecosystem is key to accelerating the development of economically-valuable embodied AI solutions
Open-source is critical for robotics AI. It means a student, a researcher or a startup can build on years of progress and contribute something the whole community can use rather than concentrating everything in a few companies building a black-box robot.
That’s why we’re building @huggingface into the platform for open-source robotics AI! Amazing to see the progress we've made in the six months and it's accelerating!
- Almost 100,000 public robotics datasets on hf.co/datasets, up 48%
- Over 30,000 public robotics models, up 41%
- Microduck and Reachy mini, our open-source robots became the most popular robot of 2026 (probably ending the year with 50,000+ sold and 20,000+ shipped)
- We’re a founding partner of @RoboColosseum, evaluating robots across 140+ real-world scenes. Every run is published publicly on HF, including failures, so everyone can learn from what actually happens.
And @LeRobotHF got downloaded over 1M times and v0.7.0 just landed with new world action models, interactive robot control and remote GPU inference: huggingface.co/blog/lerobot/…!
Huge thanks to everyone making this happen 🤗🦾
Understanding the relative performance of different embodied AI models requires deep analysis and extensive work.
We are honored to be partnering with robotics researchers @YiruHelenWang and @DJiafei on the @RoboColosseum project, the largest ever in-the-wild eval platform
The first RoboColosseum results are in.
We tested five robot models and three frontier AI agents across 124 real-world sites.
Here’s what researcher @YiruHelenWang found about what today’s models can do and where they struggle ↓
Robotics desperately needs large-scale, trusted, and in-the-wild evaluations and validations.
EAIC is proud to be a founding member of @RoboColosseum, an ambitious project to become the world’s proving ground for physical AI.
Introducing RoboColosseum
An open robot eval initiative by @huggingface @BitRobotNetwork @eaic_sg @DJiafei

We are a new national initiative to establish Singapore as a leading robotics and embodied AI hub. Think of it as a "Robotics startup for Singapore"
We are actively hiring for 2 roles to shape the narrative and catalyze the ecosystem around us (links in thread)
