Roborock Releases Two Automatic Cleaning Robots - Pandaily URL: https://pandaily.com/roborock-releases-two-automatic-cleaning-robots/ Description: On March 21st, Roborock released its annual flagship automatic cleaning robot G20 and a brand-new model, the P10. Content: Want to read in a language you're more familiar with? On March 21st, Roborock released its annual flagship automatic cleaning robot G20 and a brand-new model, the P10. On March 21st, Roborock released its annual flagship automatic cleaning robot G20 and a brand-new model, the P10, IThome reported. Since its establishment in July 2014, Roborock has focused on the R&D and production of smart household cleaning robots and other intelligent appliances. Roborock said that the automatic cleaning robot G20 is equipped with a super-powered dual-drive module, which integrates and upgrades the functions of sweeping and mopping the floor, bringing the functions of its double helix glue brush and four-zone double-shock cleaning, thus improving the robot's cleaning functionality. Another new product for the mid-end market, the automatic cleaning robot P10, continues the design of sweeping and mopping functions, with a 5500Pa suction, high-speed double-rotation constant humidity cleaning and all-round base station, which is targeted at normal household cleaning environments. There are some differences in the prices of the two models. The pre-sale price of the G20 standard version is 4999 yuan (about $727) while that of water version is 6799 yuan (about $988). The pre-sale price of the P10 standard version is 3,299 yuan (about $480), and the water version is 3,899 yuan (about $567). Generally speaking, Roborock's G20 automatic cleaning robot is equipped with a double helix glue brush, which reduces the possibility of any missed spots by facing involution and matching it with 6000Pa suction force. At the same time, due to the oblique spiral design of the main brush, the hair wound on the brush will be "transported" to the hair storage bin beside the main brush to avoid affecting operation. In view of some stubborn stains hidden deep in gaps, G20 pioneered the four-zone double-shock wiping, upgraded the vibration area to two, and increased the area of the vibration area, upgrading from the high-frequency vibration of 3000-revolution motor to the high-frequency vibration mode of "3000 +3000". In addition to upgrading the sweeping and towing function, under the cooperative operation of AI intelligent control dual lifting module, the G20 can also strategically lift the main brush and mop to avoid obstacles and maneuver around trouble areas. In terms of functionality, the G20 is equipped with a high-energy base station, which covers all functions from the cleaning console to base station, and brings the functions of automatic mop washing, drying, cleaning liquid top up, dust collection, water replenishment, base station cleaning, bacteriostasis and water loading and unloading. The self-cleaning module continues the original model's active self-cleaning cloth washing strategy, but the speed has increased by 22.5% compared with the previous generation. Active hand washing is simulated through high-speed brushing, thus achieving a deeper and cleaner effect. Dust collection for up to 60 days does not require manual garbage removal. In addition, the G20 adds the function of automatically adding cleaning liquid and can be used for 4 months when the capacity of 600ml is filled. In addition, Roborock officials said that the G20 is equipped with RR mason 10.0 which enables the robot to complete cleaning tasks in a planned and efficient manner. Moreover, the obstacle avoidance algorithm has also been upgraded. On the basis of carrying 3D structured light to avoid obstacles, the visual recognition ability has been upgraded again, and the types of obstacles that can be identified have been upgraded from 27 to 42. In addition, with infrared fill light, obstacles can be avoided in dimly lit environments. Different from G20, the P10 adopts spiral glue brush design with 5500Pa suction force. In mopping, it adopts a high-speed double-rotation constant humidity mopping scheme, with a maximum of 200 revolutions per minute of high-speed internal rotary mopping. At the same time, the mopping module can control its own lift up to a maximum height of about 10mm. The P10 is equipped with a full-featured base station, supports automatic mop cleaning, dust collection, water replenishment, bacteriostasis, mop drying, optional water loading and unloading, and easy cleaning in base station. At the same time, imitating the dynamic cleaning mode of a washing machine, the cleaning process is divided into three stages: pre-wash, rinse, and spin-dry. The rotating speed and water quantity will change dynamically according to different stages. With the high and low bump cleaning tray, mop stains will be scrubbed and cleaned. SEE ALSO: Actual Controller of Roborock to Reduce Holdings by Less Than 2% According to Roborock, the P10's automatic dust collection function is equipped with a 2.7 L dust collection bag, which can be used for 65 days under normal use conditions. The P10 also adopts a two-way automatic hot air drying function, and mop and base station are dried together to avoid generating any smells or attracting insects caused by long-term humidity. Moreover, the P10 is consistent with the flagship G20 in its software configuration, equipped with the RR mason10.0 system, which can intelligently identify the threshold, add cliff restricted areas, and remind users to add easy card restricted areas. The P10 also adopts multi-sensor fusion obstacle avoidance technology, which improves obstacle avoidance accuracy and avoids missed scanning in cleaning process under the fusion auxiliary judgment of structured light ranging sensor, LDS, gyroscope, ODO and wall sensor.

Content: November 15, 2022 06:22 ET \| Source: Douglas Insights Douglas Insights Isle of Man - Douglas, Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Douglas Insights is expanding and adding a significant number of market reports to its already burgeoning comparison engine. The most prominent recent addition is the cleaning robot market, which is an addition to the engine's database. The reports are a compilation of the kind of information that the client will require. The reports often include drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. Douglas Insights has an array of market research, analysts, and other data and reports that provide a holistic understanding of the market. The database has so much information that it allows clients to make nuanced and well-informed decisions about their ventures. Cleaning robots are some of the most effective vacuums we have seen in recent years. A cleaning robot involves a vacuum that takes up all sorts of different dust particles to clean the room. The robots can generally be hired by residents who are too tired to clean their own spaces. These robots are automated, and they don’t need any sort of additional instructions to be operated. This market will likely grow in the coming years as more people have disposable incomes and can afford to spend their money on cleaning robots. There is also the fact that people are more likely to invest in a cleaning robot for a mundane activity like cleaning and spend their time elsewhere. Other market drivers include an increased demand for equipment that doesn’t have contamination. These machines don’t require any skilled labor, which is why they are so popular among the population. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, had a negative impact on the industry's overall growth. There is a recession ongoing in many parts of the world after the fallout of the pandemic, creating issues for people all over the world. Thus, the number of people with disposable income will likely decline. Thus, this will likely cause people to not invest in cleaning robots. There has also been a major decrease in the accessibility of domestic help services, which is increasing the demand for cleaning robots. However, it is more likely for the demand to rise after there is less of a threat from COVID-19. Examine the report and make your choice: https://douglasinsights.com/cleaning-robot-market Market Drivers The other major drivers include the fact that smart devices are on the rise and have increased their penetration into all kinds of home appliances. The Internet of Things is on the rise, and cleaning robots can also be firmly attached to this narrative. There has also been a lot of development regarding the technology attached to the cleaning robots. The massive technology that comes with MEMS and other sensors is driving market demand. Other reasons for growth in this market also have much to do with the growth of the robotics fields. There are technological advancements all over the field that drive market demand. Also, the Internet of Things and wireless technologies are getting better and better, which helps the market grow even more. There is also an opportunity for growth as these robots reduce the chance of a robbery occurring in a home. Busy schedules often make people keep a permanent housekeeper in their homes, often increasing the chances of a robbery. However, with cleaning robots, there’s no need for you to worry about the presence of a robber within your home. The main limitation of this technology is that fewer people are willing to spend money on such luxuries.In other countries of the world, too, COVID-19 has had a devastating effect, and thus, the robot sales are likely to fall in the coming years and then pick back up again as the recession diminishes. Furthermore, there are also certain challenges that you have to take care of. These challenges are such that there is reduced efficiency when it comes to cleaning robots. These robot systems aren’t very smart, so they won’t always know where spillage is present or cleaning is required.

In a key milestone for humane work practices, the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) has completed one year since the deployment of Bandicoot Mobility+ robots for sewer maintenance in the city. Since its introduction in April 2024, the Bandicoot Mobility+ robots and associated tech systems have successfully cleaned more than 5,000 manholes and stormwater drains, reducing the need for manual scavenging and enhancing the safety and dignity of sanitation workers, a statement from Genrobotics, the start-up behind Bandicoot said. Kerala start-up Genrobotics is one of the top three AI start-ups recognised by Meity and its Mobility+ variant integrates robotic technology with a vehicle-mounted system, allowing the robot to be transported easily between sites and operated in even the most congested urban areas. The robot has the ability to carry out deep and precise cleaning of manholes by reaching depths beyond 10 metres. With features like real-time camera monitoring, gas detection and contactless waste collection and disposal, the system ensures maximum worker safety. “The onboard waste storage unit, automatic dumper and stabilising mechanisms make the entire process seamless and hygienic, with no human intervention required inside the manhole,” Genrobotics said. Inspired by Chennai’s results, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has now announced plans to adopt Bandicoot robots for drain cleaning in Bengaluru. Following the rollout, CMWSSB is also looking to expand robotic operations into more city zones and scale up preparations for the monsoon season. “What Chennai has achieved is not just about using robots to clean manholes—it’s about bringing dignity, safety and innovation into sanitation,” said Rashid K, co-founder of Genrobotics. “Bandicoot, the world’s first robotic scavenger, was fully developed in-house in India—built from scratch to solve the real issue of manual scavenging.” Published on June 30, 2025 Copyright© 2025, THG PUBLISHING PVT LTD. or its affiliated companies.

Show Full Article New Delhi [India], December 8: Innovation: KP Group migrates from manual to Robotics water-less solar panel cleaning to save a minimum of 3,60,000 litres of water per year/MWp; Another step towards protecting the environment; already deployed at nine sites. KP Group has earned a name for its commitment to innovation. The company’s in-house R&D Team has developed robots for cleaning the solar panels. It has set up a new startup with the name “KPI Green OMS” and hired a team of robotic engineers for the same. A factory has been established in Ahmedabad for developing solar panel cleaning robots. Robotic cleaning of solar panels is being undertaken at KP Group’s nine solar sites at Sudi, Ranada, Samoj, Vedchha, Bhensli and Vagra on a trial basis. Under the leadership of KP Group CMD Dr Faruk Patel, robotic engineers Zaid Kesrani, Ravindra Rehewar and Harsh Mevada have been tasked with creating and deploying more than 100 robots for panel cleaning at various project sites. The Robot’s battery lasts for three years. With a backup battery, the robots can be deployed for six hours at a stretch. [Robot is portable makes shifting between rows easy. It is adjustable in length to accommodate different module sizes, and the cleaning brush height can be adjusted to provide more efficient cleaning. The Robot’s structure is sturdy and can handle various environmental conditions.] What are the benefits of robotic cleaning? 1 – The speed of cleaning has increased. A robot can clean 40 solar panels every minute. Solar panels of up to 700 KW can be cleaned in an hour. 2 – Cleaning can be accomplished easily with less manpower and time savings. Until now, ten employees could clean solar panels of 1.5 MW in a 6-hour shift. Moreover, the cleaning had to be undertaken during night hours. As a result of the deployment of robots, only two resources are needed for monitoring and shifting the robots. Cleaning is also possible during the day time now and that too in just one-fourth of the time. 3 – There is a marked saving in water required for cleaning the panels. When cleaning was done manually, each panel required around 3 litres of water, a very precious natural resource. With robots, there is no need for water for cleaning. It is especially beneficial in sites prone to water shortage. Cleaning was also a challenge at many sites due to the availability of only hard water. In such cases, water tankers were required to be ordered. Using robots for cleaning has helped the company address many such challenges.

Startups Rhoda AI And Genesis AI Are Building Humanoid Robots In Stealth \| CommsTrader URL: https://commstrader.com/business/innovation/startups-rhoda-ai-and-genesis-ai-are-building-humanoid-robots-in-stealth/ Description: The artificial intelligence revolution has ignited unprecedented interest in one of technology's most challenging frontiers: humanoid robots. Two secretive Content: The artificial intelligence revolution has ignited unprecedented interest in one of technology’s most challenging frontiers: humanoid robots. Two secretive Silicon Valley companies have emerged with substantial funding to develop human-shaped machines aimed at performing tasks typically done by people. Palo Alto-based Rhoda AI and Genesis AI have collectively secured over $300 million in investment capital, joining an increasingly competitive field of companies betting that humanoid robots represent the next major technological breakthrough. With industry titans like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang describing humanoid robots as “potentially one of the largest industries ever,” these startups are racing to overcome the significant engineering challenges that have historically limited the capabilities of bipedal machines. While skeptics warn about premature commercialization, the enormous funding pouring into this sector suggests investors believe humanoid robots could transform industries ranging from manufacturing to household services. Rhoda AI, founded by serial entrepreneur Jagdeep Singh, has quietly built a nearly billion-dollar valuation while developing what they call a “general purpose bimanual manipulation platform” – essentially a humanoid robot with two arms designed for heavy lifting. After raising a $162.6 million Series A round in April, bringing their total funding to $230 million, the company is tackling one of robotics’ most persistent challenges: creating machines capable of lifting substantial weights while maintaining balance and stability. Current humanoid robots typically struggle with loads exceeding 50 pounds, severely limiting their industrial applications. Singh, who previously founded Quantumscape (now a public company valued at nearly $10 billion) and Infinera (acquired by Nokia for $2.3 billion), has assembled a team including Stanford professor Gordon Wetzstein and Vincent Clerc, who previously worked on Softbank’s Pepper robot, suggesting the company is bringing significant technical expertise to the challenge. Genesis AI represents another ambitious entrant in the humanoid robotics space, having secured a remarkable $105 million seed round from prominent investors including Khosla Ventures and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Unlike traditional bipedal humanoids, Genesis AI is developing a hybrid approach – robots with two arms but wheels instead of legs, potentially addressing some of the stability and energy efficiency challenges that have plagued walking robots. According to CEO Zhou Xian, the company isn’t building humanoids entirely from scratch but instead working with hardware vendors on custom robots while focusing their internal efforts on the software models that will control these machines. This strategic approach could allow Genesis AI to bring their solutions to market more quickly while developing robots that are “cheaper, lighter and less dangerous” than competitors like Tesla’s Optimus. These newcomers join an increasingly crowded field of well-funded humanoid robotics ventures that have attracted extraordinary investment despite limited commercial deployment to date. Figure AI recently announced it had raised over $1 billion at a staggering $39 billion valuation, while 1X is reportedly raising $1 billion of its own. Meanwhile, Tesla continues development of its Optimus humanoid robot, with CEO Elon Musk repeatedly claiming it will eventually become the most valuable division within Tesla – though reports suggest the project has encountered significant engineering and production challenges. The massive valuations and funding rounds reflect investor optimism that these companies can overcome the technical hurdles that have historically limited humanoid robotics to research labs and demonstration projects rather than practical commercial applications. The surge of investment into humanoid robotics reflects a broader pattern following the remarkable success of large language models like ChatGPT. Investors who witnessed the rapid commercialization and adoption of AI are now seeking the next technological breakthrough, with many betting that robotics represents a natural evolution of artificial intelligence – moving from digital environments to physical embodiment. The potential applications span numerous industries: factory automation, warehouse logistics, elder care, household assistance, and dangerous environments unsuitable for human workers. If these companies succeed in creating reliable, versatile humanoid robots at reasonable cost points, they could transform labor markets and create entirely new categories of products and services. The integration of advanced AI systems with increasingly capable robotic hardware promises machines that can not only follow instructions but potentially learn new tasks through demonstration or natural language guidance. Despite the excitement and unprecedented funding, significant skepticism remains about the timeline for commercial viability of humanoid robots. Kane Hsieh, general partner at Root Ventures who specializes in hardware startups, notes that while investor optimism is driving considerable hype, the rapid progression “from cool, promising research to doing 100 million dollar seed rounds” gives reason for caution. The history of robotics is littered with ambitious projects that encountered unexpected challenges in moving from controlled demonstrations to reliable real-world deployment. The engineering complexities of creating machines that can safely navigate human environments, manipulate objects with precision, and operate autonomously for extended periods remain formidable. Nevertheless, the concentration of talent and capital in companies like Rhoda AI and Genesis AI suggests that humanoid robotics may finally be approaching a breakthrough moment after decades of halting progress. Whether these secretive ventures can deliver on their ambitious visions will likely become clearer in the coming years as they emerge from stealth mode and begin demonstrating their technologies.

Rise of robots: Promise of physical AI - The Korea Times URL: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/world/20251119/rise-of-the-robots-the-promise-of-physical-ai Description: TOKYO — A pair of swivelling, human-like robotic arms, built for physical artificial intelligence research, mirror the motions of an operator in a... Content: A journalist touches XPeng's next-gen Iron humanoid robotic hand at its headquarters in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province, Nov. 6. AFP-Yonhap TOKYO — A pair of swivelling, human-like robotic arms, built for physical artificial intelligence research, mirror the motions of an operator in a VR headset twirling his hands like a magician. With enough practice, arms like these can complete everyday tasks alone, claims Tokyo company Enactic, which is developing humanoid robots to wash dishes and do laundry in short-staffed Japanese care homes. Welcome to the future of AI as it starts to infiltrate the material world in the form of smart robots, self-driving cars and other autonomous machines. "The next wave of AI is physical AI," Jensen Huang, head of U.S. chip giant Nvidia, said last year. That's "AI that understands the laws of physics, AI that can work among us" and understands "how to perceive the world," Huang added. Tech firms are pouring massive sums into physical AI, and Morgan Stanley predicts the world could have more than a billion humanoid robots by 2050. The buzz is only heightened by videos showing advanced androids, often Chinese-made, dancing to Taylor Swift or pulling heavy objects with ease. Beyond the promise of sci-fi robot butlers, the race has sparked concern over job losses, privacy and how long these innovations will take to actually be useful. Hiro Yamamoto is the 24-year-old CEO of Enactic, whose OpenArm physical AI training devices are used by Nvidia and at top universities such as Stanford. He plans to begin deploying new robots, currently under development, from next summer to "live alongside people in environments that are very chaotic, and where conditions are always changing" like care homes. "So it has to be safe," with a soft exterior that won't injure anyone, Yamamoto said. 'Any human role' In the Chinese city of Guangzhou, a female figure with a glowing oval-shaped visor for a face, clad in white woven fabric like a fencing athlete, walked slowly across a stage last week to cheers and whispers. It was the latest humanoid robot to be unveiled by Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng, which is also pushing into physical AI. XPeng's next-gen Iron humanoid robot speaks to the media during a showroom tour at its headquarter in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province, Nov. 5. AFP-Yonhap Nimble machines made by U.S. companies, such as Boston Dynamics' dog-like robots, have grabbed headlines over the years. But government support and strong domestic supply chains are helping Chinese rivals, also including Unitree Robotics and EngineAI, race ahead. "I haven't given much thought to how many robots we will sell annually in 10 years' time, but I think it would be more than cars," XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng told reporters. XPeng's robots walk and even dance autonomously — but how well they handle objects, a more complicated feat, has not been widely demonstrated. Their dexterous fingers and flexible skin are unlikely to replace workers on China's factory floors soon, he said. The cost of one robot hand, which needs to be replaced regularly for heavy-duty work, could pay a Chinese worker's salary for years. But with enough data and training, AI humanoid robots could one day perform "almost any human role," from nanny to home chef or gardener, XPeng co-president Brian Gu told AFP. On-the-job training Text-based AI tools like ChatGPT are trained on huge volumes of words, but physical AI models must also grapple with vision and the spatial relationship between objects. For now, remotely operating AI robots to teach them how to do something like picking up a cup is by far the most reliable way to collect data," Yamamoto said. Just 30 to 50 demonstrations of each task are needed to fine-tune "vision-language-action" AI models, he added. Enactic has approached several dozen care facilities in Japan to propose that its teleoperated robots take over menial tasks, so qualified care workers have more time to look after elderly residents. This on-the-job experience will train physical AI models so the robots can act autonomously in the future, Yamamoto said. US-Norwegian startup 1X is taking a similar approach for its humanoid home helper NEO, which it will deliver to American homes from next year. NEO costs $20,000 to buy, but so far its performance is shaky, with one video in U.S. media showing the robot struggling to close a dishwasher door, even when teleoperated. Physical limits In another embarrassing moment, a Russian humanoid robot, said to be the country's first, staggered and then fell flat on its face as it made its debut on stage earlier this week. There is currently a "big gap" between robots' AI systems and their physical abilities, which lag behind, said Sara Adela Abad Guaman, assistant professor in robotics at University College London. "Nature has shown us that in order to adapt to the environment, you need to have the right body," Abad told AFP, giving the example of a mountain goat that stumbles on ice. Nevertheless, big deals are being struck, even as booming investment in artificial intelligence feeds fears of a stock market bubble. Japan's SoftBank recently called physical AI its "next frontier" as it said it was buying industrial robot maker ABB Robotics for $5.4 billion. Automation raises questions about the future of human labor, but Abad is not too worried. At the end of the day, "our sense of touch is incomparable," she said. Images (2):

More details here. Content: Sign Up! envelope_alt Get the latest Android News in your inbox every day arrow_right Sign up to receive the latest Android News every weekday: Only send updates once a week Android Headlines / Tech News / Artificial Intelligence News / Samsung Aims to Give Humanoid Robots AI-Powered Eyes Samsung is reportedly developing advanced AI vision capabilities for future humanoid robots, positioning itself to power how these machines perceive the world. Leveraging its expertise in cameras and AI, Samsung could become a key provider of robot “eyes,” accelerating the integration of humanoids into daily life. The world of robotics is rapidly evolving, moving from industrial automation toward more versatile and human-like machines. Samsung, a giant in consumer electronics and technology, is reportedly positioning itself to play a significant role in this future. Recent reports from Korean media suggest that Samsung is actively developing the AI vision capabilities that could power our future humanoid robots. Most specific details about the new project are still under wraps. However, the underlying idea and its implications for the tech industry are quite interesting. Imagine a world where humanoid robots are more integrated into our daily lives, assisting with tasks around the home, in healthcare, or even in various service industries. These robots will need to truly interact with and navigate the complex human world effectively. They would need advanced sensory perception, and vision is paramount for that. Samsung’s expertise in areas like camera technology, image processing, and artificial intelligence puts them in a unique position to develop these crucial AI vision systems. Think about the sophisticated camera sensors found in Galaxy smartphones, coupled with Samsung’s growing investment in AI for image recognition and object detection. It’s a natural progression to envision this technology being adapted and scaled for the needs of humanoid robots. The company also has experience in the robotics sector. Indeed, Ballie, which has been featured at events and in teaser trailers for years, is expected to finally reach the commercial market soon. While this is not a humanoid robot, it needs similar vision capabilities to fulfill its role as a “home assistant.” The Korea Herald report highlights Samsung’s recent activities in the robotics field. This includes the introduction of “Samsung Bot Handy,” an AI-powered robot capable of recognizing and manipulating objects. This provides a tangible glimpse into Samsung’s ambitions beyond mobile devices and home appliances. Developing the “eyes” for future humanoid robots would be a logical next step, potentially involving intricate systems that can not only see but also understand spatial relationships, identify objects in various conditions, and even interpret human gestures. Furthermore, the report touches upon the potential for Samsung to collaborate with other robotics companies. Instead of solely producing their own line of humanoid robots, Samsung might focus on providing the core AI vision technology that other manufacturers can integrate into their creations. This approach could allow Samsung to become a key enabler in the robotics ecosystem. The situation would be similar to how they supply components like displays and memory chips to other tech companies. Previous reports have revealed that Samsung will focus on innovation in more segments to turn around the poor performance of some of its divisions. Plans included increased investment in areas such as robotics and medicine. The latest move appears to reflect this new strategy. The timeline for widespread adoption of humanoid robots is still uncertain. But Samsung’s apparent focus on AI vision for robots indicates a strong belief in this future. Their potential entry into this space could significantly accelerate the development of humanoid robots that can truly see and interact with the world around them, bringing us closer to a reality once confined to science fiction.

	AI-Driven Robots Are Rewriting The Factory Rulebook	https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanre…	1	Dec 11, 2025 21:59	active
AI-Driven Robots Are Rewriting The Factory Rulebook URL: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanreichental/2025/06/08/ai-driven-robots-are-rewriting-the-factory-rulebook/ Description: The cognitive industrial revolution is an unparalleled economic disruption that will require timely knowledge and investment by leaders. Content: ByDr. Jonathan Reichental, Contributor. We are entering a new industrial revolution, the cognitive industrial revolution, where manufacturing is again being transformed through a convergence of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), advanced robots, data, digital twins, and the internet-of-things (IoT). This revolution builds on the progress of the past by further automating, optimizing, and integrating intelligence into every aspect of production. It’s an unparalleled economic disruption that will require timely knowledge and investment by leaders. At the leading edge of this revolution is the increasing adoption of robots. But these aren’t the robots of the past. These are machines embedded with AI, something we now call physical AI, and behave with increasing amounts of agility and autonomy. A lot of us find robots fascinating and it’s probably because they occupy an outsized role in contemporary science fiction literature and movies. For many, a combination of the Daleks from BBC’s Doctor Who, and the droids, C3PO and R2D2 from Star Wars, form some early impressions. These narrow representations of robots probably limited our views of what role they could play in real life. The term robot means, surprisingly, but perhaps aptly, forced labor, and it’s derived from the Czech word, Robota, first used in Karel Capek’s 1920’s play, “Rossum’s Universal Robots.” Robots are defined as mechanical machines, particularly those that are controlled by a computer and carry out complex actions. Robots can look like humans, we call them humanoids, but they’re just as likely to take the form of a Roomba device that vacuums carpet, a single arm that welds metal joints in a factory, or a laparoscope in a hospital operating room. While there’s a rich history of experimental and functional robots, most agree that the first computer-based production robot was invented in 1954 by George Devol and was called the Unimate. One of its first jobs was at General Motors in Trenton, New Jersey, where it was tasked with lifting and stacking hot pieces of metal from a die-casting machine. Today, robots are common in production line automation in the manufacturing industry. Other high use areas include food processing, healthcare, warehousing, and logistics. A peep into an Amazon fulfillment center illuminates the pervasiveness of robot use where they rapidly search for, identify, pick up, move, and pack products. Remarkably, across their organization, Amazon has over 750,000 robots performing these actions and more. Today, significantly improved engineering coupled with AI is ushering in a new generation of robots and the era of cognitive manufacturing. These machines can perceive the world around them, make decisions and act autonomously to a degree, all while performing impressive movement. With less constraints, robots are showing success in mimicking a wide variety of human tasks. Many organizations are experimenting with and already deploying humanoids in areas such as human collaboration—the term cobot is used to describe when a robot assists a human in their work, and in a manufacturing context where tasks are dangerous, repetitive, or require significant strength. Perhaps the most striking development in cognitive manufacturing and robotics is the emergence of dark factories or lights-out manufacturing. This is when the entire production process operates independent of human participation. You could think of it as the ultimate end-state of automation. In these facilities, physical AI and smart machines are responsible for all aspects of production and they operate 24/7. With no humans, there is no need for salaries and health insurance, and no expenses such as heat and light, resulting in significant cost savings. The notion of workplace accidents goes away. The promise of the cognitive industrial revolution is a world where humanoids and other robots conduct complex artificial general intelligence (AGI) tasks in a fully autonomous fashion in every industry. This is also when robots will regularly and with ease do housework, babysit, cook food, deliver healthcare, and even provide companionship. Various projections suggest that in the years ahead there will be millions, perhaps even billions, of humanoids working alongside and as replacements for humans. Planning for a future of intelligent robots means thinking about how they might transform your industry, what it means for the future of work, and how it may change the relationship between humans and technology. Leaders must consider the ethical issues of cognitive manufacturing such as job disruption and displacement, accountability when things go wrong, and the use of surveillance technology when, for example, robots use cameras working alongside humans. The cognitive industrial revolution, like the industrial revolutions before it, will transform almost every aspect of our world, and change will happen faster and sooner than most expect. Consider for a moment, what will it take for each of us and our organizations to be ready for this future? Images (1):

A swarm of tiny, cylindrical robots on wheels that move in sync with the wave of a hand or a flick of the finger was unveiled in Tokyo in 2024. Small, independent machines that collectively behave like schools of fish, swarm robots can arrange themselves into patterns and coordinate to manipulate larger objects. They are examples of AI-imbued robots that might help us to further push beyond the physical boundaries of the human body. For example, a racket or violin are tools that can serve as an extension of our bodies when playing tennis or making music — but swarms of robots might allow us to do so much more. Shigeo Yoshida is a principal investigator in the Integrated Interaction Group at OMRON SINIC X (OSX), a Tokyo company spun off from OMRON to establish a research base for technology to meet social needs. He is extending that research by investigating whether a system as disjointed as a swarm of robots can act as an extension of the human body — even when they are physically remote from the body. “We’re exploring what that could look like when the body part isn’t a fixed object, but a fluid, shape-shifting swarm,” Yoshida says. Such human-controlled swarm robots could have diverse practical applications in the future. Yoshida envisions them transforming search-and-rescue operations. With advances in hardware, swarms could squeeze through narrow gaps inaccessible to humans and help grab rubble. Farther in the future, medical applications could become a reality if human-controlled swarm robots become small enough to enter the body, helping surgeons remove tumours, for example. “By mimicking the shapes and functions of human bodies and hands, swarm robots could conduct tasks such as grasping debris and removing tumours through intuitive operation,” says Yoshida. OSX researchers in discussion. Ultimately, Yoshida aspires to create robot swarms that might surround and encapsulate our bodies. “With swarms, the shape of our bodies can change into so much more,” he says. “That will give us an entirely new degree of flexibility and adaptability to the environment.” But first, he wants to study how people might perceive such swarms from a neurological perspective. Previous studies have investigated whether the brain can learn to adapt to the presence of artificial body parts connected to our nervous systems, such as an additional finger. Yoshida wants to find out whether people would perceive robots as entirely separate from themselves or whether they could use them as extensions of our bodies like more conventional tools. “Would people recognize something as scattered as a swarm of robots as an extension of their physical bodies?” asks Yoshida. “That’s a question we need to answer.” Autonomous embodiment To help it achieve its goals around the swarm robots, OSX is bringing together talent from universities, research institutes and companies, to develop AI that interacts with the world in ways that enhance wellbeing. Yoshida believes that for people to maintain a sense of wellbeing when using AI agents, such as robot swarms, they must retain a sense of agency — the feeling that they are driving the actions. In a proof-of-concept study, OSX researchers found that users felt the robot swarms were an extension of their bodies and that they were in control1. Because individual robots within a swarm are programmed to move autonomously to avoid collisions, “we need to examine how much autonomy we can give robots, while still maintaining our sense of agency,” adds Yoshida. The goal is for the robots to detect and move according to peoples’ intentions. Natural communicators Atsushi Hashimoto operating a cooking robot. “For AI agents to serve society, they need to interact smoothly with humans through natural language, our primary communication interface,” says Atsushi Hashimoto, a principal investigator in OSX’s Knowledge Computing Group. His team developed the Vision-Language Interpreter (ViLaIn), a tool that uses large language models (LLMs) to translate vision and language inputs into structured action plans that robots can follow2. Many recent studies use blackbox LLMs to directly generate how robots should act. This approach requires verifying each time whether the robot’s plan is correct and safe, requiring user’s expertise in robotics and programming, the team believes. In contrast, with ViLaIn, humans and robots only need consensus on the initial and target states. A whitebox algorithm then identifies a reliable plan to reach the target state. “This is more like how humans request tasks from each other,” says Hashimoto. “We don’t always focus on how the other person completes the task.” In 2024, OSX integrated ViLaIn into the ninth generation of the company’s table-tennis robot. In the latest generation, table-tennis players can tell the robot what they are looking for in a practice session, such as continuing to return the ball for as long as possible. With ViLaIn, the robot not only follows directions, but it can also make suggestions by observing a player’s performance. But even as AI evolves, Hashimoto stresses that people — not AI — should always decide the goals. For that to happen, giving verbal instructions via human speech is key, he says. That way humans are always in the driving seat. A good fit Masashi Hamaya using a Saguri-bot to put small components into a slot. In addition to the swarms research, another challenge that OSX researchers are working on is improving the performance of robots on tasks that they currently perform poorly. Robots already work in factories, automating tasks such as welding and coating components. However, a longstanding challenge in robotics has been assembly tasks, such as fitting small parts into slots. The Robotics Group at OSX, along with university collaborators, has developed Saguri-bot, a soft robot designed to construct a small number of parts, and perform basic peg-in-hole tasks, in assembly lines3,4. Saguri-bot has soft wrist-like joints, which help absorb impacts. It also has tactile senses, which allow it to adjust its positioning by ‘feeling’ its way across a surface, says research organizer and the group’s principal investigator, Masashi Hamaya. Hamaya believes that soft robots will be critical to the future of manufacturing, allowing humans and robots to more safely collaborate in the same space. “The idea of rigid robotics is still the mainstream,” says Hamaya. “But soft robots can more safely share the same physical space as humans, even in the case of accidents.” The team hopes that Saguri-bot will eventually be able to handle complex shapes, and be capable of learning tasks so fast it can adapt to join new assembly lines in mere moments. The researchers are currently working with experts in other areas to improve the robot’s mobility and ability to recognize parts. “Whether it’s down to their physical attributes, or the way they act, robots with an element of humanness will be the ones that humans feel most comfortable using,” says Hamaya. “That will be key for humans and robots to work together harmoniously.” “At OSX, we aim to realize the evolution of AI agents with physicality and five senses,” he adds.

Content: A journalist touches XPeng's next-gen Iron humanoid robotic hand at its headquarters in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province, Nov. 6. AFP-Yonhap TOKYO — A pair of swivelling, human-like robotic arms, built for physical artificial intelligence research, mirror the motions of an operator in a VR headset twirling his hands like a magician. With enough practice, arms like these can complete everyday tasks alone, claims Tokyo company Enactic, which is developing humanoid robots to wash dishes and do laundry in short-staffed Japanese care homes. Welcome to the future of AI as it starts to infiltrate the material world in the form of smart robots, self-driving cars and other autonomous machines. "The next wave of AI is physical AI," Jensen Huang, head of U.S. chip giant Nvidia, said last year. That's "AI that understands the laws of physics, AI that can work among us" and understands "how to perceive the world," Huang added. Tech firms are pouring massive sums into physical AI, and Morgan Stanley predicts the world could have more than a billion humanoid robots by 2050. The buzz is only heightened by videos showing advanced androids, often Chinese-made, dancing to Taylor Swift or pulling heavy objects with ease. Beyond the promise of sci-fi robot butlers, the race has sparked concern over job losses, privacy and how long these innovations will take to actually be useful. Hiro Yamamoto is the 24-year-old CEO of Enactic, whose OpenArm physical AI training devices are used by Nvidia and at top universities such as Stanford. He plans to begin deploying new robots, currently under development, from next summer to "live alongside people in environments that are very chaotic, and where conditions are always changing" like care homes. "So it has to be safe," with a soft exterior that won't injure anyone, Yamamoto said. 'Any human role' In the Chinese city of Guangzhou, a female figure with a glowing oval-shaped visor for a face, clad in white woven fabric like a fencing athlete, walked slowly across a stage last week to cheers and whispers. It was the latest humanoid robot to be unveiled by Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng, which is also pushing into physical AI. XPeng's next-gen Iron humanoid robot speaks to the media during a showroom tour at its headquarter in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province, Nov. 5. AFP-Yonhap Nimble machines made by U.S. companies, such as Boston Dynamics' dog-like robots, have grabbed headlines over the years. But government support and strong domestic supply chains are helping Chinese rivals, also including Unitree Robotics and EngineAI, race ahead. "I haven't given much thought to how many robots we will sell annually in 10 years' time, but I think it would be more than cars," XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng told reporters. XPeng's robots walk and even dance autonomously — but how well they handle objects, a more complicated feat, has not been widely demonstrated. Their dexterous fingers and flexible skin are unlikely to replace workers on China's factory floors soon, he said. The cost of one robot hand, which needs to be replaced regularly for heavy-duty work, could pay a Chinese worker's salary for years. But with enough data and training, AI humanoid robots could one day perform "almost any human role," from nanny to home chef or gardener, XPeng co-president Brian Gu told AFP. On-the-job training Text-based AI tools like ChatGPT are trained on huge volumes of words, but physical AI models must also grapple with vision and the spatial relationship between objects. For now, remotely operating AI robots to teach them how to do something like picking up a cup is by far the most reliable way to collect data," Yamamoto said. Just 30 to 50 demonstrations of each task are needed to fine-tune "vision-language-action" AI models, he added. Enactic has approached several dozen care facilities in Japan to propose that its teleoperated robots take over menial tasks, so qualified care workers have more time to look after elderly residents. This on-the-job experience will train physical AI models so the robots can act autonomously in the future, Yamamoto said. US-Norwegian startup 1X is taking a similar approach for its humanoid home helper NEO, which it will deliver to American homes from next year. NEO costs $20,000 to buy, but so far its performance is shaky, with one video in U.S. media showing the robot struggling to close a dishwasher door, even when teleoperated. Physical limits In another embarrassing moment, a Russian humanoid robot, said to be the country's first, staggered and then fell flat on its face as it made its debut on stage earlier this week. There is currently a "big gap" between robots' AI systems and their physical abilities, which lag behind, said Sara Adela Abad Guaman, assistant professor in robotics at University College London. "Nature has shown us that in order to adapt to the environment, you need to have the right body," Abad told AFP, giving the example of a mountain goat that stumbles on ice. Nevertheless, big deals are being struck, even as booming investment in artificial intelligence feeds fears of a stock market bubble. Japan's SoftBank recently called physical AI its "next frontier" as it said it was buying industrial robot maker ABB Robotics for $5.4 billion. Automation raises questions about the future of human labor, but Abad is not too worried. At the end of the day, "our sense of touch is incomparable," she said. Images (2):
	Gemini On-Device - Generative AI For Robots	https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-…	4	Dec 11, 2025 21:59	active
Gemini On-Device - Generative AI For Robots URL: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18165-gemini-on-device-generative-ai-for-robots.html Description: Programming book reviews, programming tutorials,programming news, C#, Ruby, Python,C, C++, PHP, Visual Basic, Computer book reviews, computer history, programming history, joomla, theory, spreadsheets and more. Content: In that same way Gemini can produce text, write poetry, summarize an article, write code, and generate images, it can also generate robot actions with Gemini Robotics. Now, the new Gemini Robotics On-Device model eliminates the need for a network connection, and its full SDK allows roboticists to train robots with new tasks. In March, Google launched Gemini Robotics in order to bring Gemini’s capacity for multimodal reasoning and world understanding into the physical world and enable robots of any shape and size to perform a wide range of real-world tasks. It introduced two new AI models. The first is Gemini Robotics, an advanced vision-language-action (VLA) model based on Gemini 2.0 with the addition of physical actions as a new output modality for the purpose of directly controlling robots. The second is Gemini Robotics-ER, a Gemini model with advanced spatial understanding, enabling roboticists to run their own programs using Gemini’s embodied reasoning (ER) abilities. At the time these models could only run on powerful computing systems which meant connecting to remote data centers in the cloud for processing. This precluded their use by robots that didn't have access to the internet, or only had intermittent access. Nor did it cater for situations where real-time operating requirements couldn't cope with network latency - in other words, the pauses between the robot being given commands and acting on them while it connects to the cloud network. Now, the team at DeepMind has introduced Gemini Robotics On-Device, a robotics foundation model for bi-arm robots, engineered to require minimal computational resources. Like the previous models, On-Device is a powerful VLA that helps robots understand the world around them and has been designed for rapid experimentation with dexterous manipulation. It is adaptable to new tasks through fine-tuning to improve performance and is optimized to run locally with low-latency inference. Gemini Robotics On-Device achieves strong visual, semantic and behavioral generalization across a wide range of testing scenarios, follows natural language instructions, and completes highly-dexterous tasks like unzipping bags or folding clothes — all while operating directly on the robot. Aside from adapting to new tasks, the On-Device model can also adapt to different robot types. Though originally trained on ALOHA robots, the model has been successfully fine-tuned to control other robotic systems like the dual-arm Franka FR3 and the Apollo humanoid by Apptronik, pictured above. In each case, it maintained its ability to generalize across different tasks. Despite its smaller footprint, Gemini Robotics On-Device has been demonstrated to deliver impressive performance. It exhibits strong generalization across a range of complex real-world tasks and responds to natural language instructions with precision. Tasks like unzipping bags, folding clothes, and assembling industrial components can now be performed with a high degree of dexterity — all without relying on remote servers. DeepMind is also launching a Gemini Robotics SDK, allowing developers to evaluate the model in simulated environments using the MuJoCo physics engine and quickly fine-tune it for their own specific use cases. It has been shown that the model can adapt to new tasks using just 50 to 100 demonstration examples. As we have already seen with Boston Dynamics Altas, combining AI with robots can be transformative, making them useful in all the ways we have been imagining for them. The day of the robot is getting closer.

ChatGPT Successors: AI Lawyers, AI-Driven Science, Humanoid Robots URL: https://www.techjuice.pk/chatgpt-successors-ai-lawyers-ai-driven-science-humanoid-robots/ Description: The astonishing functionalities of chatGPT based on Large Language Models just a few months ago are the epitome of cutting-edge AI. Content: Since the launch of chatGPT, it has taken the world by storm. It has made incredible achievements in almost every field. In the evolving relationship between society and technology, humans reacted incredibly adaptable. The astonishing functionalities of chatGPT based on Large Language Models just a few months ago are the epitome of cutting-edge AI. Slowly and gradually, people have started relying on these bots and their capabilities and seamlessly incorporating them into our routines. With the help of these bots, people are trying to achieve all kinds of intelligent things. Many companies are producing innovative creations. Many AI technologies are currently on the sidelines. The four things we believe are on the verge of taking off are AI lawyers, humanoid robots, and AI-driven science. The startup company DoNotPay claims to have created a legal chatbot capable of advising defendants in court. The bot is based on LLM technology. The company recently stated that “it would let its AI system help two defendants fight speeding tickets in real-time. Connected via an earpiece, the AI can listen to proceedings and whisper legal arguments into the ear of the defendant, who then repeats them aloud to the judge”. The startup company did not make it appear in court after facing criticism and legal action for engaging in unlicensed legal practice. This, the legal system authority will determine the strength of technology instead of economic and technological limitations. Lawyer are well-paid and highly qualified professionals; therefore, the cost of ligation are high. In contrast, the US legal system opposes robots representing humans in court. AI is becoming a popular resource for scientists in today’s digital environment. Whether it’s about finding patterns in data, machine learning is the initial source in which an AI system improves over time. As a result, the stems can advise actual scientific hypotheses or proposed explanations for natural phenomena. Hence, it is expected to overcome assumptions and biases people create. For instance: researchers and developers at the University of Liverpool used a machine learning system called a neural network to rank chemical combinations for battery materials, locating their experience and saving time. The neural network is entirely accurate, where there are gaps in our understanding of how they actually make decisions. However, multiple techniques can illuminate the logic behind the answers and lead to unexpected discoveries. However, we cannot rely on AI as AI cannot formulate hypotheses independently; it can assist scientists in approaching problems from new perspectives. AI can handle multiple tasks, such as speech, image, and text. Furthermore, more versions of AI chatbots based on the latest LLM technology, GPT-4, will soon be available in the market. AutoGPT, an efficient and advanced AI tool released by essential Gravitas, is creating waves in the tech industry. Auto GPT can handle multiple tasks, such as planning a birthday party or designing a menu, and splits into sub-tasks which it then completes without human assistance or input. However, AutoGPT incorporated AI agents that make decisions based on predetermined rules and goals. Instead of having multiple limitations and problems associated with Windows, AutoGPT shows excellent potential in various applications. Humanoid robots are the fantastic creation of chatGPT. Robots move and behave as humans have significantly advanced since the first DARPA Robotics challenge in 2015. It was a contest where teams created robots to perform a series of complex tasks set by the organizers. The functions they worked on were getting out of the car, opening a door, and drilling a hole in a wall. Multiple startups are working to produce human-like robots that can behave and operate the same as humans. Advancements in AI involve computer vision and power sense batteries that provide short bursts of high current. They have enabled robots to navigate complex tasks, maintaining balance dynamically. Figure AI, a company that created robots for warehouse work, has already secured US$70 million in investment funding. Companies including Tesla, 1X, and Apptronik also plan to invest considerably to create humanoid robots. Thai shows that the field is maturing. Humanoid robots provide many advantages over other bots, including navigation, maneuverability, and adaptability because, in lary, they will be working in places where they have been built around human needs. Undeniably, these bots work tremendously extraordinarily and depend on more than computation power. Humanoid robots could fail to get traction if their production and maintenance costs outweigh their benefits. AI lawyers and chatbots may be incredibly effective. However, their adoption may be put on hold if their judgments do not align with society’s “moral compass” or the law.

NVIDIA announces plan for AI-powered ‘humanoid robots’ — RT Entertainment URL: https://www.rt.com/news/594505-nvidia-ai-humanoid-robots/ Description: Project GR00T seeks to enable robots to understand language and emulate human actions to solve tasks, the US-based company said Content: NVIDIA has announced a new AI project aimed at creating “humanoid robots” that are capable of learning new skills and solving complex tasks by studying human behavior. In a press release on Monday, the company also unveiled a state-of-the-art computing platform called Jetson Thor, which is specifically designed to be used by the humanoid robots. Several significant upgrades to its Isaac robotics platform were also announced, including generative AI foundation models and tools for AI workflow. The new project is called GR00T, which stands for Generalist Robot 00 Technology. It’s intended to serve as a platform to enable robots to “understand natural language and emulate movements by observing human actions – quickly learning coordination, dexterity and other skills in order to navigate, adapt and interact with the real world,” the US-based company said. In a keynote presentation, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang demonstrated several real-life robots already using the GR00T platform to complete a variety of tasks, and showed that the robots could also develop their skills through a digital twin in the newly announced Isaac Lab virtual reality simulation. “Building foundation models for general humanoid robots is one of the most exciting problems to solve in AI today,” said Huang. He added that “the enabling technologies are coming together for leading roboticists around the world to take giant leaps towards artificial general robotics.” Agility Robotics co-founder and chief robot officer Jonathan Hurst also announced a partnership with NVIDIA, saying such advancements in the field of AI will pave the way for robots, such as his company’s Digit, to help people “in all aspects of daily life.” Last year, Huang stated that AI was bound to transform the corporate landscape and change human jobs forever, and warned that those who failed to embrace this technology would be left behind. Meanwhile, a recent Washington State University survey has found that about one-third of American workers are concerned that AI will soon make certain jobs obsolete, while nearly half fear they could be left behind in their careers if they fail to keep up with how to use the technology in the workplace. The dangers of AI have also been highlighted by a number of researchers and tech luminaries such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who last year signed an open letter demanding a temporary moratorium on “giant AI experiments” to allow for the creation of guidelines to prevent misuse of the technology.

Tesla to produce ‘humanoid’ robots next year – Musk — RT World News URL: https://www.rt.com/news/601502-musk-tesla-humanoid-robots/ Description: Tesla to produce ‘humanoid’ robots next year, CEO Musk announces, for use internally first before being produced for other companies Content: Electric-vehicle manufacturer Tesla plans to introduce humanoid robots for internal purposes starting next year, with plans for broader production by 2026, the company’s chief executive Elon Musk has revealed. Posting to X on Monday, Musk said the robots will be in “low production” at the company’s factories. He said they will “hopefully” be in high production for other companies in 2026. The announcement comes after the CEO said in April that the Tesla robot Optimus would be able to perform factory tasks by the end of this year and could be ready for sale by the end of 2025. Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low production for Tesla internal use next year and, hopefully, high production for other companies in 2026 Tesla first unveiled plans to work on humanoid robots in 2021 at an AI Day event. A year later, the company unveiled Optimus, dubbed Bumblebee, saying that its expected cost will be less than a Tesla car and that it would be manufactured in large numbers. Musk said at the time that many robots that came before the Tesla bot were “missing a brain” and don’t have the intelligence to navigate the world on their own. He said Optimus will be an “extremely capable robot” and with a reasonable price tag of less than $20,000. “Optimus is going to be incredible in five or ten years, like mind-blowing,” Musk claimed. Humanoid robots are made to resemble and act like humans, imitating facial expressions and movements. Several companies, including Japan’s Honda and Hyundai Motor’s Boston Dynamics, have been betting on humanoid robots to meet potential labor shortages in certain industries by performing repetitive tasks that may be seen as dangerous or tedious. Musk has said previously that robot sales could become a larger part of the Tesla business than other segments, including its car manufacturing. Valued at $1.8 billion in 2023, the global humanoid robot market is projected to soar to more than $13 billion over the next five years, according to research firm MarketsandMarkets.

We dig into all the hidden details in the company's latest demo videos. New video from Unitree shows their nearly 6-foot humanoid robot throwing punches, kicks, knees and literally breaking pieces off of the company's much smaller G1 humanoid. Unitree first revealed it had been training its comparatively short G1 robots to fight earlier this year, but seeing the same kickboxing moves and similar agility in a full-size humanoid is jarring. I wouldn't want to see this coming at me. The robotics company has been making a name for itself through viral videos and tests of agility, as well as taking home the most gold medals of any company at China's first World Humanoid Robot Games earlier this year. In addition to showing its H2 in fight mode, hidden details in recent demos also shine a light on Unitree's teleoperation system, how new hands are unlocking new capabilities, and what may be coming next in the rapidly evolving world of humanoid robots.

The developers think they will one day be used to help mental health. Tuesday 11 June 2024 10:40, UK A factory in China is developing hyper-realistic humanoid robots that could be used in psychotherapy and counselling. In the factory in China's northeastern coastal city of Dalian, neck-length silicone masks lie alongside silicone arms and feet, while disembodied heads sit on display and humanoid robots in various stages of construction stand nearby. Drawings of robot designs adorn a wall. Humanoid robots are the most complex type of robot to build and these ones use artificial intelligence to learn how to recognise human behaviour and mimic it. "There are many basic models and algorithms that are commonly open source, which everyone uses," says Ex-Robot chief executive Li Boyang. "However, we concentrate more on how to enable the AI to recognise and express expressions and emotions." As an Ex-Robots worker moves her head, smiles and sticks out her tongue, a humanoid robot mimics her movement thanks to tiny motors installed in several spaces in its head.

(Zeroâ¦ pic.twitter.com/dRFRkmOjTp These rapid-fire announcements from both the US and China signal one thing loud and clear: the technology behind humanoid robots — AI-powered machines with humanlike forms — is maturing more rapidly than many expected. The dream of mass production may no longer be a distant fantasy but an imminent reality. Robots, of course, are nothing new. The very word "robot" first appeared over a century ago, in Karel Čapek's 1920 play Rossum's Universal Robots, describing human-like machines designed for mundane labour. Since then, technological innovation has pushed robotics far beyond basic industrial functions. Today, the idea of humanoid robots in our workplaces and homes is no longer far-fetched. Though still in development, humanoid technology is accelerating — fuelled by the powerful convergence of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) — bringing industry leaders closer to mass production, real-world applications, and widespread market entry. But First, What Is A Humanoid? Before diving into why the world is racing to create humanoid robots, let’s break things down: What exactly makes a robot "humanoid"? Does it just need to look human, or does it need to act human too? At its core, a humanoid robot is a general-purpose, bipedal machine designed to resemble the human form and work alongside us — enhancing productivity. These robots are built to learn and perform a diverse range of tasks: gripping objects, moving containers, loading and unloading boxes, and more. Of course, “resembling the human form” can mean different things to different people. Some robots simply feature a head, torso, arms, and legs, while others go further — imitating human expressions and movements. What truly sets humanoids apart, though, are three defining traits: locomotion, dexterity, and intelligence. Locomotion (or gross motor skills) lets these robots navigate human-oriented environments, such as navigating steps and uneven floors and avoiding obstacles. Dexterity, or fine motor skills, enables them to interact in useful ways with their environment to perform specific tasks such as picking up fragile objects without damaging them. Intelligence allows humanoid robots to independently perceive and engage with the world around them and is increasingly powered by AI. To fully appreciate these advanced machines, it helps to peek inside — at both the “brain” and the “body” that work in harmony to bring humanoid robots to life. The "brain" of a humanoid robot isn’t made of neurons — it’s built from a powerful combination of semiconductors and software. At its core are advanced Generative AI (GenAI) models, driving the robot’s autonomy and decision-making. Supporting these are simulation models which serve as virtual training grounds — helping the robot learn and refine its skills before ever interacting with the physical world. The "body" is a complex network of high-tech components. It houses an array of sensors — from cameras and lidar to force, torque, and magnetic sensors — providing detailed awareness of its surroundings. Actuators — made up of motors, encoders, bearings, screws, and reducers — translate commands into smooth, precise movements. This entire system is linked by an intricate network of wires and connectors, powered by a centrally mounted lithium-ion battery. On the outside, most humanoid robots are encased in a blend of lightweight aluminum alloys and plastics — keeping them strong, durable, and agile without adding unnecessary weight. Why Humanoids? Many readers might wonder: "Why do we need robots shaped like humans?" Why engineer something as complex as hands, arms, or legs? The answer: It’s not just about aesthetics. To be sure, there are strong arguments for robots to take on specialised forms — like robot arms, snake-shaped robots, robot dogs, or even robotic dust — adapting to specific tasks in countless configurations. However, many robotics and AI experts argue that the most compelling case for humanoid robots is rooted in the world we've already built. Our environment is "brownfielded" for human bodies — meaning it’s designed by humans, for humans — and humanoid robots can seamlessly integrate into these spaces with minimal modifications. As Nvidia points out, humanoid robots excel precisely because they match the physical blueprint the world was designed for. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang explains it this way: “The easiest robot to adapt into the world are humanoid robots because we built the world for us. We also have the most amount of data to train these robots than other types of robots because we have the same physique." Consider this: human hands are remarkably versatile — capable of handling delicate objects, using tools, and operating heavy machinery. Most workstations, tools, and everyday objects are designed around human proportions. A robot that mirrors our form can step into those roles immediately — without requiring a complete redesign of the world around it. And let’s face it — a machine that looks familiar (and maybe even friendly) has a better chance of social acceptance than something that seems alien or out of place. Huang sums it up perfectly: "Robots look like people because … the most important reason, is that we built the world for ourselves, and so the workstations of a factory, the manufacturing line of a factory, was really created for people." Breaking Down the Humanoid Robot Value Chain The global humanoid robot market isn’t driven by a single type of company — it’s an intricate, interconnected ecosystem. According to Morgan Stanley, this ecosystem breaks down into three key pillars: the "Brain," the "Body," and the "Integrators." Companies in the "Brain" category supply advanced semiconductors and AI software models — the driving force behind humanoid autonomy. These models handle both training (teaching the robot how to think and act) and inference (helping it make decisions in real-time). Next comes the "Body". Companies here specialize in hardware — from sensors and actuators for movement to batteries, wiring, and other essential components that bring the robot to life. Finally, we have the "Integrators" — companies currently building full humanoid robots or that have the reasonable potential to do so given their expertise in manufacturing other robotics or automation platforms. To analyze the value chain, Morgan Stanley’s team selected an extensive set of publicly traded companies with significant involvement in the humanoid market. They identified 22 companies in the "Brain" category, 64 companies supplying critical components for the "Body" and 22 companies classified as "Integrators" — those most likely to deliver full-scale humanoid robots to market. One striking takeaway from Morgan Stanley’s research? Asian companies — particularly those in China — are leading the humanoid robotics race. Out of 100 publicly traded companies worldwide that Morgan Stanley identified as actively developing humanoids, 56 per cent are based in China. Even more notably, 45 per cent of the world’s robot integrators — companies that customize robots to meet specific end-user needs — also call China home. “A common refrain we hear from investors is the lack of Western firms to add to their humanoid portfolio outside of Tesla and Nvidia,” Morgan Stanley analysts led by Adam Jonas noted in the research paper. China “continues to show the most impressive progress” in humanoid robotics due to strong government support, domestic start-ups’ access to established domestic supply chains, and the plethora of businesses willing to put the machines to use, the paper, titled 'Humanoid 100', found. “In our view, this is important information in and of itself as it represents the reality of the current humanoid ecosystem, which we expect may need to change materially over time,” the bank said in the paper. The Use Case Humanoid robots first gained traction in the automotive industry. In a post on X, Tesla highlighted its key achievements since 2018 — notably announcing the successful deployment of two Optimus robots in one of its factories. Similarly, Hong Kong-listed UBTech Robotics revealed in early March that it had completed a trial involving dozens of Walker S1 robots at the Zeekr EV factory in the Chinese port city of Ningbo, supporting “multitask” and “multi-site” operations. Meanwhile, Figure AI, backed by Nvidia, plans to start training its robots in BMW factories later this year. So far, most humanoid robots in real-world use are concentrated in industrial environments like logistics and manufacturing, while others support research and education. Their presence in the service sector remains limited, primarily appearing in commercial roles — such as tour guides at museums and exhibitions. Notably, last month, 16 humanoid robots from Hangzhou-based Unitree dazzled audiences with a synchronized dance performance during China’s Spring Festival Gala — the world’s most-watched annual TV broadcast — on Lunar New Year’s Eve. Beyond entertainment, countries are accelerating efforts to develop humanoid robots for military purposes, though large-scale deployment remains a distant goal. These robots are being tested in high-risk scenarios — from battlefield reconnaissance to disaster response — leveraging their human-like mobility and decision-making abilities. The US leads this charge, with Boston Dynamics' agile search-and-rescue robot, Atlas, and SAFFiR, a firefighting robot designed for the US Navy. Humanoid robots are also venturing into space. The US, Japan, and Russia have deployed them on missions to gather data and operate in extreme environments. Yet, for everyday people, humanoid robots remain more of a spectacle than a helping hand — their true potential still waiting to be unlocked. The Urgency Is ‘Palpable’ Beyond the technological marvels and intricate engineering, one crucial question looms: Is the world truly ready for humanoid robots? Goldman Sachs certainly thinks so. The firm projects the total addressable market (TAM) for humanoid robots to hit a staggering $38 billion by 2035 — with much of this growth driven by their deployment in structured environments like manufacturing. Picture EV assembly lines, precision component sorting, and other repetitive industrial tasks. But the real promise of humanoids stretches far beyond factory floors. Thanks to AI-driven adaptability, these robots are poised to tackle hazardous, high-risk jobs — tasks with high fatality rates and low human willingness. Goldman Sachs highlights that customers may be more willing to pay a premium for robots capable of handling dangerous operations where human lives are at stake. While factories may be the first to embrace humanoid robots, analysts like RBC’s Tom Narayan believe the biggest breakthrough will come when — or if — these machines become an integral part of everyday life. The real opportunity, he says, is in “more than just cutting vegetables,” he said. He envisions humanoid robots evolving into household companions — personal assistants capable of helping raise children or even babysitting. "In most manufacturing plants in the U.S., robots are already working. The real value? It’s in people’s homes,” Narayan said in an interview. Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas echoes this, predicting humanoid robots will become a multi-decade, trillion-dollar industry — with adoption potentially outpacing autonomous cars on public roads. Far more capital will be pumped into the humanoids given the thousands of repetitive and dangerous human tasks that could be made significantly easier with robots being incorporated into factory lines, warehouses and kitchens, Jonas wrote in a note to clients. This sense of inevitability is shared by corporate giants already doubling down on the humanoid future. At Tesla’s June 13, 2024 shareholder meeting, Elon Musk made his boldest prediction yet: "I think the ratio of humanoid robots to humans will probably be at least two-to-one, something like that. One-to-one for sure. So, which means like somewhere on the order of 10 billion humanoid robots. Maybe, maybe, maybe 20 billion or 30 billion." Musk’s focus on Tesla’s humanoid robot project, Optimus, has only intensified. First introduced on September 30, 2022, Optimus remains a top priority at Tesla’s engineering headquarters in Palo Alto. As Tesla grappled with plummeting profits last year — driven by a brutal EV price war in China and slowing demand in Europe — Musk increasingly spotlighted Optimus as a cornerstone of the company's future. During Tesla’s fourth-quarter earnings call in January, Musk voiced confidence that the company could produce thousands of humanoid robots by year-end. He explained that the bots would first take on "the most boring and annoying tasks" in Tesla’s own factories, with deliveries to external customers expected to begin in the second half of next year. A ChatGPT Moment Humanoid robots are evolving — not just in form, but in intelligence. Powered by machine learning algorithms, they can analyse data, learn from past actions, and process information from sensors to make decisions in real time. However, traditional robotics programming remains rigid. These robots still require extensive human expertise to code, and they struggle with unfamiliar situations. That’s beginning to change. The advent of the large language models (LLMs), coupled with growth of generative AI — software that can create plausible and sophisticated text, images and computer code at a level that mimics human ability — is reshaping robotics. These technologies are accelerating how physical machines learn — using natural language, imitation, and simulation. Robotics, it seems, is having its own "ChatGPT moment, says Adam Jonas. For years, the fields of AI and robotics were seen as distinct — LLMs driving language and knowledge, while robotics focused on movement and mechanics. Now, those worlds are colliding, and the impacts are profound. Robots are increasingly capable of learning new tasks — not through painstaking manual programming, but by tapping into powerful foundation models trained on massive datasets of both real-world and simulated experiences. These models — built by some of the world’s leading tech giants like NVIDIA, Alphabet, Baidu, Meta, and Microsoft — will supercharge humanoid robot development. On 18 March, NVIDIA unveiled Isaac GR00T N1— the world’s first open, fully customizable foundation model for generalized humanoid reasoning and skills— to speed robot development. “The age of generalist robotics is here,” said Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA. “With NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1 and new data-generation and robot-learning frameworks, robotics developers everywhere will open the next frontier in the age of AI.” Vincent Vanhoucke, Senior Director for Robotics at Google DeepMind, captured the magnitude of this shift, recalling how experts now look back on 2022 as "the good old days" as he explains how LLMs and genAI have very abruptly flung the field of robotics from an isolated "robot island" firmly onto the "AI flywheel".

Shanghai factory begins mass producing humanoid robots URL: http://www.ecns.cn/cns-wire/2025-02-20/detail-ihenxmvs7433784.shtml Content: (ECNS) -- Shanghai AgiBot, in operation for just a few months, has already produced 1,000 humanoid robots in 2024, and is expected to reach an annual production of several thousand by 2025, according to the company. At the Data Collection Center of AgiBot, 100 humanoid robot âapprenticesâ work alongside data collection specialists in real-life scenarios such as restaurants, milk tea shops, and family homes. The robots conduct tasks like making drinks, laying tablecloths, ironing clothes, and making the bed. They imitate daily human movements, collecting over a thousand pieces of operation data per day. Yao Maoqing, executive director of AgiBot Robotics Research Institute, stated that the action data collected from these robot âapprenticesâ will be uploaded to a cloud for model training. Through generalized learning, a universal model will be formed and deployed on every robot. Yao highlighted that robots are improving logistics operations with automated warehousing systems and intelligent packaging. The future of human work will turn to robot scheduling and solution development, freeing them from repetitive tasks, he added. Chinaâs humanoid market boasts great potential. Morgan Stanley recently released a list of the top 100 publicly listed companies in the global humanoid robot sector, with 37 Chinese companies making the cut. According to the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the domestic humanoid robot market is expected to reach approximately 870 billion yuan ($119.44 billion) by 2030.

	Humanoid robots make their way into China's consumer market	http://www.ecns.cn/news/cns-wire/2025-0…	10	Dec 11, 2025 21:54	active
Humanoid robots make their way into China's consumer market URL: http://www.ecns.cn/news/cns-wire/2025-02-27/detail-ihepcskv6107934.shtml Content: (ECNS) -- Humanoid robots are now rapidly transitioning from futuristic concepts to reality in China. On February 12, Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics launched two humanoid robotsâUnitree H1 and Unitree G1âfor sale on JD.com, one of China's largest e-commerce platforms. Both models sold out almost immediately after release. Can humanoid robots become household staples? Currently, pricing remains a key barrier to mass adoption. But Unitree G1's price tag of 99,000 yuan ($13,800) already reflects strong consumer interest. As technology advances and production scales up, prices are expected to drop significantly. Industry experts predict that quadruped robots could eventually cost as little as 3,000â4,000 yuan, making them accessible to everyday consumers. Similarly, humanoid robots may need to be priced at several thousand yuan for mass-market adoption. Although humanoid robots are not yet ready for widespread household use, improved technology and lower costs will accelerate their integration into daily life over the next few years. Meanwhile, humanoid robots are already making an impact in industrial settings. Companies such as Tesla (Optimus) and UBTECH (Walker S) have deployed humanoid robots in automotive factories for transportation, quality inspection, and other repetitive tasks. A report by Guotai Junan Securities suggests that as AI technology and hardware continue to improve, humanoid robots are on the brink of large-scale commercialization â making 2025 a potential breakthrough year for mass production. Beyond direct purchases, humanoid robots are also gaining traction in the rental market. On social media, e-commerce, and second-hand platforms, daily rental rates for humanoid robots range from 1,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan, depending on the model and function. Unitree's G1 humanoid robot is currently the most rented model, with most listings pricing it at 15,000 yuan per day. It is commonly used for business events, exhibitions, and performances. According to customer service representatives, rental packages include transportation, setup, and on-site technical support, ensuring a seamless experience for businesses looking to incorporate robots into their operations. As demand surges and AI-driven robotics advance, humanoid robots are steadily moving from factories and exhibitions to households â bringing the world one step closer to a robot-assisted future.

The appearance of DeepSeek-R1, a Chinese AI model that seems to rival OpenAI’s latest offerings far more cheaply, shocked markets this week and erased $1 trillion from U.S. stock values. This event underscored the stakes of America’s technology race with China—and how close that race is. But as well as competing over AI models such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek-R1, these two tech superpowers are now also racing for a new prize: robots shaped like humans, with a head, torso, arms, and (often) legs. Such humanoid robots are central to the future plans recently announced by Jensen Huang, CEO of chipmaker Nvidia. Huang’s vision has led Nvidia’s rise to become one of the world’s biggest listed companies. Elon Musk correctly anticipated vast markets for space launch and electric vehicles—and Musk now predicts that the long-term value of Tesla’s humanoid robots “will exceed that of everything else at Tesla combined” and make it a $25 trillion company. Meanwhile, Chinese industrial policy is pouring a firehose of start-ups into humanoid robots. Advances in generative artificial intelligence since 2022 have turbocharged the development of humanoid robots, and this is accelerating. Twenty-seven humanoid robot models reportedly debuted at Beijing’s World Robot Conference in August 2024. A few months earlier, Huang had announced a new foundation model—the underlying model on which specific uses are built—developed for controlling humanoid robots. Humanoid robots aren’t yet viable in many real-world environments but have begun operating in Amazon warehouses and factories for Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Goldman Sachs Research anticipates a market worth $38 billion by 2035, and Citibank estimates 648 million humanoid robots by 2050.

Goldman Sachs Research anticipates a market worth $38 billion by 2035, and Citibank estimates 648 million humanoid robots by 2050. Yet a robot is any machine that can perform a complicated series of tasks automatically, and robots can take many forms—such as robot arms in factories, self-driving cars, or military drones—so what are the advantages of a humanoid? Humanoid robots are a glittering prize for two reasons, which together promise a mutually reinforcing spiral. One is the huge potential market for robots that can use our human tools and function in our human environments. Second, as artificial intelligence butts up against limits to available data, humanoid robots offer a route to transform AI itself. With this huge prize on the line, it’s no wonder the world’s two superpowers, equally matched competitors, are seeking out every edge in the contest for human forms. Giving robots humanoid form—or at least aspects of it—opens up vastly more possibilities for those robots to act usefully in the human world, in which we have spent millennia, as well as trillions upon trillions of dollars, making tools and environments for humans shaped like us. A world full of stairs, tables, screwdrivers, medical instruments, and so on. A robot would be very useful if it moved around my Victorian house in London and used my tools to clean or cook. The same with workplaces such as factories, hospitals, elder care homes, or battlefields. Moreover, robots shaped to operate throughout our world can better accompany us as we go about our tasks, to collaborate with humans in teams. The human form also inspires new ways to make useful robots. Walking like a human with straight legs, for example, saves energy compared with typical robots that walk with bent legs. Human hands are awesome. Evolution gave humans fantastic capabilities, which is why so much of AI is benchmarked against human capabilities, from the Turing test of language to computer vision or the boardgame Go. Earlier generations of robots drew inspiration from simpler creatures such as insects or dogs—and today’s AI advances in areas such as language and planning make the human form a ripe target. Mass deployment of humanoid robots won’t be immediate. Advances in AI perception took years to reach mass scale in Amazon Alexas. Robotaxis spent years developing in U.S. and Chinese cities, and only in 2024 did Google’s Waymo reach an inflection point to surge from 1 million to 4 million passenger trips. But the humanoid form is so useful that there are huge addressable markets for them as the technology develops. And that is only half of the spiral that humanoid robots promise—the second is to fuel a new leap in AI itself. AI spent decades in the doldrums until a huge leap in computer vision in 2012, and that required a big new dataset of visual images to train the AI. 2022 saw a huge leap in generative AI with ChatGPT, and training that AI again required a huge leap in data, which in that case involved much of the internet. Both advances also needed enhanced computer power and computational techniques, but the data was crucial. Today, we have exhausted all the world’s easily accessible data for training models, so where can the next big leap in data come from? Simulating data helps, but we also need data grounded in reality. Humanoid robots can help provide vast new data, linked to reality, for learning how to act in the physical world. Robots are physically embodied. Today’s AI can give robots vision-language-action models that can take in text (like in ChatGPT), plus data from the robot’s physical environment (e.g., via cameras or microphones) and from internal sensors (e.g., of joint positions in a robot’s hand). It’s incredible how much data even a single human infant gets from their “external sensors”—a recent study used video and audio from a head-mounted camera on a single infant, and that data alone enabled an AI to learn many words and concepts. Adding the effects of an infant or a robot’s actions gives even more useful data about how the world works. And combining all these types of data can reduce hallucinations because when you stub your toe, for example, that’s a collision with reality. Humanoid robots gain additional advantages. They can learn from the actions of Earth’s most remarkable intelligences: humans. That’s why Nvidia’s Project GR00T aims to develop AI models that help humanoid robots learn by observing human demonstrations and by having human teleoperators help robots practice actions. How humans perform tasks can give humanoid robots the “right answers” from which to train. Such help is vital because of Moravec’s paradox: Tasks thought difficult for humans are often easy for AI (e.g., chess), but tasks thought easy for humans (e.g., putting a shirt on a hanger) can be very hard for AI. The right answers for actions such as putting shirts on hangers seem easy to humans, but robots can learn a lot from how humans succeed at such actions. If robots share our human form, it will also be easier for us to teach the robot: to explain how we perform actions with our bodies and to provide robots with feedback on their efforts that can help them learn. Such learning can happen at mass scale with millions of humanoid robots, bringing together both halves of the mutually reinforcing spiral that makes humanoid robots such a glittering prize in the global tech competition. More robots interacting with humans leads to more data from which their AIs can learn, which leads to better AI that in turn enhances the robots so they take on more jobs, which leads to more data from which their AIs can learn, and so it spirals onward. In the global race to win the prize of dominance in humanoid robots, China and the United States have different strengths—and each relates to a different half of this spiral involving mass manufacturing and AI learning. China’s big edge is manufacturing at scale. China is the world’s sole manufacturing superpower, with production exceeding the nine next largest manufacturers combined. China dominates some key robot markets, such as drones, where in 2023 DJI alone supplied 70 percent of the world’s drone users. China seems equal to the United States in robotaxis. And China’s huge EV companies are investing heavily in driver-assistance software to make their cars, as one Chinese auto executive described, “a robot on wheels.” Robotics in general was identified as one of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “new quality productive forces,” and in 2022 China installed more than half of the world’s industrial robots. Humanoid robots were identified by China as a key area for technological competition in 2023, when the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released its “Guiding Opinions on the Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots.” This year China seeks to establish a world-class innovative ecosystem for humanoid robots, and by 2027 it wants to integrate humanoid robots into manufacturing supply chains, use them at scale, and expand humanoid robot use throughout society. The United States’ big edge is in the most cutting-edge technologies at companies such as Nvidia, in its hub of start-ups, and at universities—and although America lacks China’s manufacturing scale, this could help it build better AI robot learning. A humanoid’s software “brain” accounts for roughly 80 percent of its value, and Nvidia chips still seem preferred for much cutting-edge AI in China. A U.S. company built ChatGPT, and U.S. researchers still push China into second place for publishing top-cited AI research. Allies are also key, with Britain for example publishing the third-most top-cited AI research, while Switzerland, Germany, and Japan manufacture many of the world’s industrial robots. But although China and the United States are evenly matched today, that can change. America pioneered much in the industries that manufacture semiconductors and industrial robots, for example, yet eventually fell far behind. China’s new DeepSeek-R1 suggests America’s edge in AI is hardly unassailable. So, what can Washington do? Competition to lead in humanoid robots may be the most consequential technological race of the next decade, but except for the rare few such as Nvidia’s Huang, most people don’t even know this race exists. A first step is greater awareness of this vital race among U.S. policy communities. Next, a better understanding of the challenge will help policymakers navigate the trade-offs needed to win this race, as inevitable political pressures around job losses, privacy, and political control affect these developing industries. Policy levers such as industrial strategy or tariffs (depending on political preferences) can also help protect the development of these vital new industries through their difficult early stages, in order to match Chinese efforts. The United States must not lose its advantage in the most cutting-edge research, but much of what is needed to compete in this race also requires a return to excellence in manufacturing at scale. And this itself reveals an intriguing change in our relationship with AI. Increasingly, AI will leave the virtual realm of TikTok, X, or Instagram feeds, and enter the hard reality of the physical world around us.

Humanoid robots the new focus of automakers URL: http://www.ecns.cn/business/2025-04-14/detail-iheqrhkv9478837.shtml Content: Essential components of smart cars can be used to create high-tech factory workers UBTech's humanoid robots work on the production line in Zeekr's smart factory in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, on March 1. ï¼CHINA DAILYï¼ Automakers are ramping up investments in the humanoid robotics field, a frontier where industry experts see an alignment with manufacturing. Technological advancements and real-world testing are anticipated to initiate the large-scale use of humanoid robots in automotive production and related industrial sectors. GAC revealed its third-generation humanoid robot, GoMate, on Wednesday, which has been used for tasks such as security inspections. Future applications foresee its role in vehicle production lines and after-market services. Zhang Aimin, head of GAC's robotics team, said automakers possess a technological edge in developing humanoid robots due to their technological and supply chain synergies with intelligent new energy vehicles. Essential components such as chips, LiDAR and visual sensors can be used in robotics, while vehicle production facilities and 4S stores offer potential for deploying these products, Zhang added. He emphasized that all core functional components of GoMate are developed in-house. GAC plans to launch global sales of its self-developed components this year, while GoMate is expected to start small-scale production in 2026, followed by gradual expansion to mass manufacturing. XPeng Motor revealed its robot, Iron, in November, which adopts a humanoid structure design, with a height of 178 centimeters and a weight of 70 kilograms. The robot works in XPeng's Guangzhou factory in Guangdong province, where it assembles components for the P7+ sedan. Chery set up a robot tech subsidiary in January and has introduced the humanoid robot Mornine, which works at a Chery 4S store in Malaysia. Some automakers are opting for in-house development, while others are collaborating with established humanoid robotics firms to accelerate deployment. Great Wall Motors announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with Unitree Robotics, a prominent player in the robotics market, to integrate robotics into auto production. This partnership aims to advance humanoid robot technology and intelligent production processes. BYD and Geely have collaborated with UBTech, a robotics company whose Walker S series of products are used in multiple vehicle factories. Mercedes-Benz announced in March an investment of tens of millions of euros in the humanoid robot company Apptronik and plans to use humanoid robots at its digital factory in Berlin, Germany. Some 20 global automakers have ventured into the humanoid robot sector so far. Industry experts anticipate that this move will foster substantial integrated development synergies. The auto manufacturing sector, characterized by its complex, standardized and capital-intensive workflows, provides an ideal testing ground to accelerate robot development. The advantage of humanoid robots lies in their high flexibility and freedom, with potential applications in assembly workshops and other areas requiring precision operations. An accelerated adoption of humanoid robots also provides opportunities for cost reduction and improved efficiency in vehicle production, experts said. As auto industry competition intensifies with electrification and intelligence, car manufacturers need to explore a new growth curve through AI technology and manufacturing capabilities, they added. A report by Morgan Stanley highlights that China leads the global humanoid robot market, with 52 percent of such companies being Chinese. The market size is projected to surpass 12 billion yuan ($1.64 billion) by 2030. Research by consultancy GGII shows that global humanoid robot sales are expected to reach 12,400 units by 2025, with a market size of 63.39 billion yuan. By 2035, sales are projected to exceed 5 million units, with the market size surpassing 400 billion yuan. But industry insiders say that despite the bright prospects and high added value of the humanoid robot market, the industry is still in its early stages of development. It faces many challenges such as achieving humanlike perception capabilities and addressing the high costs associated with development. Although humanoid robots and AI cars share a 70 percent similarity in their technical stack, XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng said that the data accumulation required for humanoid robots is much higher than that for cars. XPeng has been investing in humanoid robots for five years and may require another 20 years and 50 billion yuan to excel in the field, said He. Humanoid robotics and deeper integration with vehicle manufacturing is expected to become one of XPeng's three strategic growth pillars, he added.
