Simplexity Robotics uses robots to tend CNC lathes at 0.5 mm tolerance
Overview
至简动力（Simplexity Robotics）强化学习负责人冯宗宝在 IROS 2026 的 Tech Talk 中展示，一台机器人可自主抓取工件、装入卡盘并取出成品，照看两台 CNC 车床，间隙为 0.5 毫米。冯宗宝表示，整个模型训练仅使用了 600 条真实机器人运动轨迹；该方法结合了 SimpleWAM 世界动作模型、DRAM 循环记忆和 DPE 候选动作评分。
据报道，公司称精密 CNC 插入任务的成功率为 100%，但未说明试验次数，该数字也不代表整个工作单元的良品率。报道中的数据均来自公司演讲内容，报道方未提供独立验证。

- PandailySimplexity Robotics Trains One Robot to Tend Two CNC Lathes With 600 Trajectories
AISimplexity Robotics says it trained a single robot to load and unload two CNC lathes on its own, using 600 real-robot trajectories and reporting a 100% success rate on the precision CNC insertion task. The work, presented at IROS 2026 on September 29, combines the SimpleWAM world action model, a DRAM memory module and DPE action scoring, with force and torque feedback for insertion recovery. The company did not say how many trials the 100% figure covers, and it does not describe the yield of the whole cell.

AIAt IROS 2026, Simplexity Robotics presented a robot that autonomously tends two CNC machines, grasping workpieces, loading them into chucks, and placing finished parts, with 0.5 mm clearance. The system was trained on only 600 real robot trajectories, using the SimpleWAM world action model, DRAM recurrent memory, and DPE candidate action scoring. The talk was reported as an edited transcript from the conference presentation.
