## Resource

-The company announced the new Isaac Gr00t reference design humanoid robot platform that combines a Unitree H2 Plus humanoid robot, Sharpa five-fingered hands and NVIDIA Jetson Thor onboard compute. -The X-59 is scheduled to take its first supersonic flight, hitting over 630 mph at an altitude of about 43,000 feet, then, in a followup "mission conditions" test, it will reach 925 mph (Mach 1.4) at about 55,000 feet. After that, it'll go for its max speed: Mach 1.6, or 1,218 mph, at an altitude of 60,000 feet -Apple is trying to stand out from the competition with four different styles and unique colors for its smart glasses.
