AIhub monthly digest: July 2025 – RoboCup round-up, ICML in Vancouver, and leveraging feedback in human-robot interactions

Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we take a trip around some of the RoboCup leagues, check in at ICML, learn about the NASA onboard AI research platform, and explore feedback in human-robot interactions. This month saw the running of RoboCup 2025, with the event taking place in Salvador, Brazil, from 15-21 July. Ahead of kick-off, we spoke to the general chair Marco Simões and caught up with Ana Patrícia Magalhães, lead organizer for RoboCupJunior, to find out more about their plans for the week. You can find out what the participants got up to in our two round-ups from social media: #RoboCup2025: social media round-up 1 #RoboCup2025: social media round-up part 2. If you missed the action, you can find the recordings of the livestreams here.
