Kamen resigns from FIRST robotics in wake of Epstein ties New Hampshire businessman Dean Kamen is resigning from his position on the board of directors of FIRST, the latest fallout from revelations earlier this year about his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In January, Kamen voluntarily placed himself on leave from FIRST, the youth science organization he founded in Manchester in 1989 that has become a global force in robotics education. That came after records and emails released by the U.S. Department of Justice showed the men were in contact for more than a decade, and that Kamen visited Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean, a known hub of abuse. In a statement issued Wednesday, Laurie Leshin, FIRST’s board chair, said Kamen was voluntarily withdrawing from all FIRST activities. “Dean made this decision in the best interest of FIRST to avoid potential distractions to its many stakeholders,” Leshin said. Leshin said an independent review “found no evidence of misconduct” by Kamen. “Nonetheless, Dean has acknowledged errors in judgment by not avoiding any connection with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates after Epstein’s conviction in 2008,” said Leshin. Kamen has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing, and has said he had only limited interactions with Epstein. But records show that...

ABB Robotics integrates NVIDIA Omniverse for industrial AI simulation ABB Robotics said that it has begun integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into its RobotStudio software, aiming to support manufacturers in deploying physical AI across real-world robotics applications. This collaboration between ABB Robotics and Nvidia intends to address the long-standing challenge known as the ‘sim-to-real’ gap, which refers to the difference between digital simulations and actual performance in manufacturing environments. RobotStudio HyperReality, developed from this integration, allows developers to train robots virtually using synthetic data and then apply these models directly to physical production processes. The system incorporates real-world data feedback to progressively refine its accuracy, enabling consistent training and deployment of ABB robots globally. According to ABB, this technology aims to allow manufacturers in various sectors to design and optimise production lines digitally before implementation. ABB claims that the RobotStudio HyperReality system can deliver up to 99% accuracy between simulation and real-world results when combined with the company’s virtual controller and Absolute Accuracy technology. This capability is designed to reduce positioning errors and meet the demands of high-precision industrial applications. ABB Robotics president Marc Segura said: “Today, using NVIDIA accelerated computing and simulation technologies, we have removed the last barriers to making industrial and physical AI a reality at a...

Robotic microfluidic platform brings AI to lipid nanoparticle design AI has designed candidate drugs for antibiotic-resistant infections and genetic diseases. But efforts to incorporate AI into the design of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the revolutionary delivery vehicles behind mRNA therapies like the COVID-19 vaccines, have been much more limited. Designing LNPs is especially challenging: Each formulation combines multiple lipid components whose ratios influence how the particle delivers genetic instructions inside cells. Scientists still lack a clear map connecting those chemical inputs to biological outcomes. The reason? There simply isn't enough data. Now, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have built LIBRIS, an automated microfluidic platform capable of generating LNP formulations at the speed and scale required to train predictive AI models. "This could accelerate lipid nanoparticle development by as much as 100-fold," says Michael J. Mitchell, Associate Professor in Bioengineering (BE) and co-senior author of a study in ACS Nano. The design space for LNPs is enormous, on the order of 1015 possible formulations, any one of which might be best suited for delivering a particular therapy. "If we want to explore that space with the help of AI," adds Mitchell, "we need much more data than currently exists." Eventually, LIBRIS—short for "LIpid nanoparticle Batch production via Robotically Integrated Screening"—could...

OpenAI robotics leader resigns over concerns about Pentagon AI deal A senior member of OpenAI's robotics team has resigned, citing concerns about how the company moved forward with a recently announced partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense. Caitlin Kalinowski, who served as a member of technical staff focused on robotics and hardware, posted on social media that she had stepped down on "principle" after the company revealed plans to make its AI systems available inside secure Defense Department computing systems. The agreement is part of a broader push by the U.S. government to incorporate advanced AI tools into national security work, a trend that has sparked debate across the tech industry about oversight and acceptable uses. In public posts explaining her decision, Kalinowski wrote: "I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call." She said policy guardrails around certain AI uses were not sufficiently defined before OpenAI announced an agreement with the Pentagon. "AI has an important role in national security," Kalinowski wrote. "But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got." Kalinowski also emphasized that her concerns were more about the process...

Dish launches first new broadband satellite in 16 years A rendering of EchoStar XXV, a direct broadcast satellite that will deliver television content across North America — Dish’s first new broadcast satellite in 16 years. Credit: Lanteris Space Systems ## Mission Highlight: EchoStar XXV SpaceX is targeting tonight, Monday, March 9, at 11:15 p.m. EST for the launch of EchoStar XXV from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on a Falcon 9 booster. This particular booster is making its 14th flight and will carry the satellite to geostationary orbit (GEO) at 110° west longitude. From this vantage point above the Pacific Ocean and off the western coast of Mexico, the satellite will transmit television to North America. The booster is expected to land on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas. EchoStar XXV is a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) built by Lanteris Space Systems (formerly Maxar Space Systems), a Palo Alto-based satellite manufacturer. It is designed to send television signals directly to small dishes on homes and businesses across North America. According to Lanteris, the satellite uses multiple independently steerable beams to direct signal capacity where it’s needed most rather than broadcasting evenly across the continent. The satellite is built on the Lanteris 1300 series bus, a platform for GEO satellites that has been in production since 1989 and forms the backbone of more than 95 spacecraft currently on orbit. Its modular design has powered missions ranging from SiriusXM’s digital audio radio satellites to hardware supporting NASA’s Gateway lunar outpost. For Dish, this launch is a long time coming. The company has not had a new broadcast satellite launch since EchoStar XV in 2010 — a 16-year gap during which the rise of streaming services has reshaped the television landscape. Charlie Ergen, Dish chairman, has been direct about why the company is still investing in geostationary infrastructure. “We don’t think that the [direct broadcast satellite] business is going away. It’s still the preferred choice for a lot of Americans in terms of an efficient way to watch TV,” he said, as quoted in a 2023 article from Light Reading. EchoStar XXV is the company’s answer to that conviction — and it won’t be the last. EchoStar has already contracted Lanteris to build EchoStar XXVI, scheduled for delivery in 2028. ## Other missions this week Also **on Monday, March 9,** Firefly Aerospace is targeting 8:50 p.m. EST for the launch of its Alpha rocket from Space Launch Complex 2 West at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The mission, titled “Stairway to Seven,” is the seventh flight of the Alpha vehicle and has faced a series of delays in the lead-up to tonight’s attempt. Alpha is a small-lift launch vehicle capable of delivering up to approximately 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg) to low Earth orbit. This is the final flight for Alpha in its Block 1 configuration. The Block 2 configuration will feature updated batteries and avionics, which Firefly says will improve reliability and expand mission capabilities. With only two fully successful flights over six attempts, the Block 2 upgrades come at a critical moment for Firefly as the company works to stabilize Alpha’s track record. **On Thursday, March 12,** SpaceX will continue its regular Starlink launch cadence with the Starlink Group 10-48 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 6:00 a.m. EST. The Falcon 9 booster will land on the droneship Just Read the Instructions. **On Friday, March 13,** SpaceX will launch Starlink Group 17-31 from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 6:58 a.m. EST, with the booster targeting a landing on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean. Closing out the week **on Sunday, March 15,** SpaceX will launch Starlink Group 10-46 from Cape Canaveral at 7:11 a.m. EST. The booster is expected to land on A Shortfall of Gravitas. ## Last week’s recap The first full week of March opened with a SpaceX double-header. On Tuesday, March 4, SpaceX launched Starlink Group 10-40 from Cape Canaveral at 5:52 a.m. EST, with the booster landing on A Shortfall of Gravitas. Later that same evening, Space One attempted the third flight of its KAIROS rocket from Space Port Kii in Kushimoto, Japan, at 9:10 p.m. EST. The mission failed when the vehicle was lost during its second-stage burn. In a press release, Space One confirmed that the flight was suspended “during Step 2 of Mission 4,” adding that the company would “investigate the cause as soon as possible and make the necessary improvements.” On Thursday, March 5, Rocket Lab successfully launched the “Insight At Speed Is A Friend Indeed” mission aboard an Electron rocket from its Māhia Peninsula launch site in New Zealand. The customer and payload for this mission are confidential. The week wrapped up on Sunday, March 8, with SpaceX launching Starlink Group 17-18 from Vandenberg at 7:00 a.m. EST, with the booster landing on Of Course I Still Love You. ## Looking ahead Next week brings a notably busy manifest. SpaceX has three Starlink missions scheduled across both coasts. On Wednesday, March 19, Rocket Lab will attempt to launch StriX-6, an Earth-observation satellite for Japanese company Synspective, from the Māhia Peninsula in New Zealand. Also on March 19, German startup Isar Aerospace will attempt to fly its Spectrum rocket for only the second time, carrying its first payloads — CubeSats from European universities — from Andøya Rocket Range in Norway. And on Saturday, March 22, Roscosmos will launch the Progress MS-33 resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station from Baikonur.

OpenAI Head of Robotics Caitlin Kalinowski announced her resignation after she raised objections about the company's recent AI contract with the Pentagon. Kalinowski, who joined OpenAI from Meta in 2024, declared she made her decision based on her values. In a post on X she warned about potential risks related to AI surveillance and lethal autonomous systems. She wrote that national security applications of artificial intelligence require further discussion because they involve two main issues: surveillance without judicial oversight and autonomous weapons that operate without human control. The Pentagon agreement allows the US defence department to use OpenAI’s technology for certain applications. However, the partnership has triggered widespread debate about the boundaries of AI in military use. However, in response to the criticism levelled against the agreement, an OpenAI spokesperson noted that the agreement has strict conditions. The company does not support surveillance in the home or autonomous weapons. It seeks to promote the use of AI in national security in a responsible manner. This controversy also reveals a division between tech companies. Another AI firm, Anthropic, allegedly turned down...
