• Amazon demonstrates ResMimic training for humanoid box-carry tasks

  2025-10-06 - Research Publication - Amazon FAR and academic collaborators introduced ResMimic, a residual-learning framework for humanoid whole-body loco-manipulation. A Unitree G1 carried a 4.5 kg box and handled irregular objects using whole-body contact. The work was published as arXiv paper 2510.05070 and demonstrated on physical hardware.

Events

• 2026-07-23 - Product Launch - mimic introduces FLUX-mimic video-action model at Audi

  FLUX-mimic targets dexterous industrial work by learning from video demonstrations. The event extends mimic beyond robotic-hand hardware into the model layer for industrial manipulation.

• 2026-07-16 - Product Launch - Mimic Robotics launches M1 hand and U1 wearable dexterity stack

  The M1 uses 15 active degrees of freedom across 21 joints, highly backdrivable bi-directional tendon actuation, dual encoders and fingertip tactile sensing. The U1 passive exoskeleton matches the M1 hand's kinematics and sensing so human demonstrations can be collected without operating a live robot. Mimic combines human video, wearable demonstrations, robot teleoperation and deployment data in one learning stack for industrial manipulation.

• 2026-04-24 - Deployment - mimic integrates MANUS gloves into dexterous-demonstration capture

  The gloves capture continuous finger-motion data without requiring a camera's uninterrupted view of the hands. The collection workflow supports repeated recording across operators, sessions and environments. Human demonstrations provide the hand-motion data used to train the system's dexterous manipulation policies.
