Check Preferred Sources

Monitor preferred sources for new Physical AI content.

Usage

/sources

Instructions

When this command is invoked:

1. Read preferred sources from research/tools/preferred-sources.md

2. Check each source category (in priority order):

   Preprint Searches — Architectures & Methods (Priority 1):

   • Search arXiv and TechRxiv for architecture/method queries (JEPA, EBM, world models, robot foundation models)
   • Filter to last 30 days only
   • Identify papers not yet in publications.md

   Preprint Searches — Physical AI Platform & Infrastructure (Priority 2):

   • Search for platform/infrastructure queries (Physical AI deployment, ROS2, digital twins, sim-to-real)
   • Filter to last 30 days

   GitHub Organizations (Priority 3):

   • Check listed GitHub orgs for new repos and releases
   • Include: facebookresearch, google-deepmind, nvidia-cosmos, Physical-Intelligence, ros2, Genesis-Embodied-AI, huggingface/lerobot
   • Filter to last 30 days

   Company Blogs — Big Tech & Research Labs (Priority 4):

   • Meta AI, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, Siemens, Schneider Electric
   • Look for Physical AI announcements, product launches, research releases

   Company Blogs — Startups & Emerging Players (Priority 5):

   • Figure AI, Agility, 1X, Unitree, Physical Intelligence (pi.website/blog, pi.website/research), Covariant, Skild, Intrinsic
   • Foxglove, Formant, MathWorks
   • Look for funding, product launches, technical posts

   Industry News & Startup Tracking (Priority 6):

   • The Robot Report, TechCrunch Robotics/AI, IEEE Spectrum Robotics
   • Crunchbase (via WebSearch) for funding signals
   • ROS Discourse for community developments

   Simulation & Digital Twin Ecosystem (Priority 7):

   • NVIDIA Omniverse / Isaac Sim release notes
   • Open Robotics blog, Gazebo Community
   • Eclipse Foundation (Ditto releases)

   Standards & Governance (Priority 8):

   • ROS Enhancement Proposals (REPs)
   • CHAOSS, OpenSSF Scorecard updates
   • OSRA announcements

   Researcher Pages (Priority 9):

   • Check Google Scholar pages for new publications
   • Check personal websites/blogs for new content

3. Rank findings:

   • Relevance to Physical AI platform intelligence
   • Recency
   • Source credibility
   • Potential impact (citations, engagement, funding amount)

4. Present top findings:

   • Group by category (Papers, Projects, Ecosystem, Solutions, Industry News)
   • Show top 3-5 from each category
   • Include: title, source, date, 1-sentence description

5. Ask which to add: "Which would you like me to add? (e.g., 'P1, P3, E1' for Papers 1,3 and Ecosystem 1)"

6. Add selected items using /add workflow

Avoiding Duplicates

Before presenting results:

• Check if paper title/URL already exists in publications.md
• Check if project already exists in projects.md
• Check if player already exists in ecosystem.md
• Only show genuinely new content

Error Handling

• If a source is unavailable, skip and note it
• If no new content found, inform user: "No new content in preferred sources (last 30 days)"
• If many results (>15), present top-ranked only
