| 🤖 Hugging Face unveils two new humanoid robots LINK
|
- AI company Hugging Face announced two new open-source humanoids: the full-size HopeJR and Reachy Mini, a desktop model that talks and listens for AI app testing.
- The HopeJR has 66 actuated degrees of freedom for walking and arm movement, priced around $3,000, while Reachy Mini is estimated at $250-$300.
- Their designs allow anyone to build them, aiming for broader robotics access; the company plans to begin shipping some initial machines by year-end.
| 📊 Perplexity can now help you make web apps, dashboards, spreadsheets and more LINK

- Its "Code Generation" feature autonomously writes and executes code for structuring data, applying formulas, and creating outputs including text documents and spreadsheets.
| 🚕 Tesla tests driverless robotaxis for June 12 Austin launch LINK
|
- Tesla is now testing self-driving Model Y cars on Austin streets with no one in the driver's seat, targeting an internal June 12 robotaxi launch.
- This Austin robotaxi service, despite being driverless, is expected to use "heavy teleoperation," allowing humans to control the cars remotely when necessary.
- With Texas having "relatively relaxed rules around autonomous driving," Tesla faces no regulatory body likely to stop its Austin robotaxi launch despite a brief testing phase.
