Almond Robotics launched Axol this week as a dual-arm robot built specifically for teams developing physical AI systems that must function in factories, warehouses, kitchens, and other unpredictable settings. The company spent the past year putting existing robots through real shifts in grocery stores and production lines. Those machines repeatedly hit limits that slowed progress or caused outright failures.
Stefan spent more than a month testing different ways to connect Claude Code to Unreal Engine 5. Most attempts produced fragile setups that broke quickly or required constant manual fixes. The video he released on June 10 walks through the exact combination of tools and habits that finally produced something playable. Two free plugins made the difference. UnrealClaude gives the AI direct access to the viewport so it can capture screenshots and move objects around. VibeUE handles blueprint edits and Python commands inside the editor. Both connect through the Model Context Protocol, which lets Claude issue structured commands without constant copy-paste work.
Bidders drove one exceptional sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. to a final price of $3 million during Heritage Auctions’ Video Games Signature event on June 12. The result cleared the previous high mark by a full million dollars and established a new record for any video game sold at public auction. Heritage presented the cartridge as lot 28025 in its June 12–13 sale. Professional graders at PSA assigned it a 9.6 A++ rating, the strongest score this particular variant has received. The copy carries Nintendo’s gloss sticker seal, a detail that places it in the second production run from early 1986.
Lara Croft moves through thick Peruvian jungle undergrowth with familiar purpose. The new four-minute gameplay video, captured during Summer Game Fest hands-on sessions, drops players straight into a reimagined Lost Valley. It offers the clearest view yet of how the upcoming Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis game refreshes the 1996 original while carrying forward lessons from more recent entries in the series.
Deep Robotics sent a modified version of its compact Lynx S10 robot on a research vessel bound for the Arctic Ocean. The goal was straightforward. Engineers wanted to see how the small machine would handle real polar conditions that humans approach with extreme caution. The prototype completed its mission and became the first quadruped robot to step onto Arctic Ocean ice floes.
