LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

WEAVE

🤖 New robot butler does your chores

The Rundown: Weave just announced Isaac, a versatile personal robot designed to help with various household tasks, made in California and set to ship to its first customers in fall 2025.

The details:

• Isaac can autonomously tidy up, fold laundry, organize spaces, and perform many other household chores.

• The robot butler responds to voice or text commands and can be programmed via an app.

• The camera that Isaac carries around folds away and stows in an included enclosure when not in use for privacy reasons.

• Weave plans on charging $59,000 (or $1,385 per month for 48 months) with a $1,000 reservation fee for 30 lucky US customers.

Why it matters: The competition for affordable, intelligent, personal robot assistants is continuing to heat up, and it looks like we’ll start to see these robots in homes by 2025. Whether its Tesla’s Optimus, 1X’s NEO Beta, China’s AGIBOT, or Weave’s Isaac — we’re just excited to not fold laundry ever again.

TESLA

🔋 Tesla Robotaxi to charge wirelessly

The Rundown: A new patent from Tesla has revealed its advanced wireless charging system, potentially solving the need to manually plug in electric vehicles — allowing autonomous Robotaxis to charge without human intervention.

The details:

• The patent, filed in February and published recently, highlights a system that uses smart technology to adapt to variations in wireless charging conditions.

• It mentions a ground pad and a vehicle pad that work together to charge the car without any wires.

• The charging station can estimate and adjust for changes in coil inductance, improving efficiency and safety.

• Tesla may unveil this wireless charging technology at their upcoming Robotaxi event next month, aligning with the tech’s potential to enable self-driving vehicles to charge autonomously.

Why it matters: While wireless charging for EVs doesn't solve a major problem, it could be a game-changer for self-driving vehicles. If Tesla’s Robotaxis can charge wirelessly, they could autonomously operate almost endlessly without human intervention — an important feature to keeping the fleet of taxis running 24/7.

AI TRAINING

💻 Coding with Cursor's AI features

The Rundown: Cursor AI makes coding easy with its AI-powered editor, blending AI assistance with traditional development tools to boost productivity and make coding more accessible to everyone.

Step-by-step:

1. Download Cursor and install it on your machine. You’ll get a two-week trial.

2. Use the Tab feature for smart code completion by just typing and pressing Tab to accept suggestions.

3. Access the Chat feature (Cmd/Ctrl + L) to add context from your files and ask coding questions.

4. Use Composer (Cmd/Ctrl + I) to generate entire files or projects by describing what you want to create.

Note: We just did an entire Cursor workshop on how to create a web app without coding. If you’re a member of the AI University, access it in “Previous workshops”.

AI RESEARCH

🎮 AI rates fun factor of video game levels

The Rundown: Researchers recently developed AI agents that can “play” procedurally-generated video game levels to evaluate how engaging they are for human players, helping to quicken the pace of game design.

The details:

• Researchers used AI agents to explore levels from the video game Super Mario Bros for high places, interesting objects, and more.

• The AI explored five “engaging” and five “unengaging” levels, judging them based on factors like how much of the level they covered and how many new things they found.

• The AI agents consistently rated the engaging levels higher than the unengaging ones.

• This technique could help game designers automatically test and improve their levels before human playtesters try them.

Why it matters: This AI-powered approach to video game evaluation could speed up game development and lead to more consistently fun levels for humans to explore. As we saw with Google’s DOOM clone — we might be approaching an era where AI not only rates games but creates them from the ground up.
