Robotics and XR investors: Virtuix has partnered with the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Simulation and Training to demonstrate real-time control of a humanoid robot using its Omni One omnidirectional treadmill.

Reporting from the New York Stock Exchange, Jane King explains the system allows a human operator to walk naturally in any direction while the robot mirrors those movements, highlighting how full-body VR locomotion could solve key teleoperation challenges and expand applications across robotics, training, and industrial environments.
