By Clinton Key Takeaways Tether is in talks to lead a $1.2 billion round for Neura Robotics. Neura aims to bring cognitive humanoid robots into mainstream industry and home use. The deal may value Neura between €8 billion and €10 billion. Tether is preparing to make its boldest move yet. The company is exploring a $1.2 billion investment in Neura Robotics. This would give Tether a major role in a fast-growing robotics sector. It would also extend the company well beyond digital assets. Neura is based in Germany. It builds cognitive humanoid robots. These robots sense their surroundings. They can process information. They can adjust to new tasks. Neura calls this approach cognitive robotics. It sees this technology shaping the next era of automation. The potential valuation sits between €8 billion and €10 billion. This is a sharp climb from its raise in January 2025. At that time, the company secured €120 million. It now holds an order book of more than €1 billion. Neura sees this moment as the start of large-scale commercial adoption. The company provides product details and research updates through its official website. Neura has set ambitious goals. It wants to manufacture five million robots by 2030. The first customers are likely to be industrial firms. Homes will follow later. Neura says this shift could become an “iPhone moment” for robotics. It wants robots to feel safe, familiar and dependable. The company has already built several product lines. These include collaborative robot arms. They include mobile systems. They include humanoid designs built for complex work. The vision is clear. Neura wants robots that support people. It wants robots that fit naturally into human environments. Production has moved from China to Germany. Neura has expanded partnerships with major European industrial groups. These partnerships support faster development and broader deployment. New capital will support advanced research. It will also fund products inside Neura’s Neuraverse ecosystem. This ecosystem includes an operating system for cognitive robots. It also includes a marketplace where robotic skills can be shared. More News: Public Acquires Alto Crypto Retirement Business for $65M Tether has become one of the most profitable firms in digital finance. Its profit last year reached about $13.4 billion. Most of this came from interest on reserves. Now the company wants to invest part of that capital. It wants exposure to frontier sectors. These include robotics, energy and advanced computing. A spokesperson said that Tether is reviewing many deals. Details will be shared only when agreements are final. Still, the direction is clear. Tether wants to support technologies that shape the future. Robotics fits this vision. Tether’s portfolio already includes more than 140 firms. They range from agriculture to AI. They include communication systems and sports ventures. A large investment in Neura would be one of its most significant steps. The robotics sector is accelerating. Tech giants expect rapid growth. Nvidia, Tesla and SoftBank all see robotics as a key driver of global expansion. AI models help robots learn faster. These models help them respond to complex environments. This brings robotics closer to mainstream use. Tether chief executive Paolo Ardoino has described a future filled with trillions of AI agents and billions of robots. He believes this change will shape both digital and physical worlds. A major bet on Neura aligns with that belief. It gives Tether direct exposure to next-generation robotics. Neura has become one of Europe’s fastest-growing robotics companies. Its revenue has grown more than ten-fold in the past year. Its workforce has doubled to more than 300 people. It now holds confirmed orders worth €1 billion. Neura’s robots can learn new tasks. They can react to unexpected conditions. They can work inside unpredictable industrial settings. Traditional robots cannot do this easily. This gives Neura a clear edge. Investors believe the company could become one of Europe’s most valuable robotics firms. Its partnerships with automation leaders provide access to global industrial networks. These networks prepare Neura for large-scale deployment. Tether’s potential contribution would be significant. It would signal rising interest in robotics from financial institutions. It would place Tether inside one of the most competitive technology races today. It would also strengthen Neura ahead of its expansion into industrial and consumer markets. If the deal closes, Neura’s position will rise sharply. Tether will also deepen its exposure to high-growth sectors outside digital assets. Both companies look toward long-term transformation. Both believe robotics will influence daily life and global industry. This potential funding round brings that future closer.

The fusion of humanoid robotics and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating, with major players like SAP, Humanoid and NEURA Robotics leading the charge. In a series of groundbreaking collaborations, these companies are demonstrating how cognitive robots—equipped with embodied AI—can transform industrial workflows, from automotive manufacturing to warehouse logistics. BrightU.AI's Enoch explains that cognitive robots, often referred to as artificial general intelligence (AGI) or artificial consciousness, are a hypothetical class of robots that possess the ability to understand, learn and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a level equal to or beyond human capabilities. Unlike current robots that are programmed to perform specific tasks, cognitive robots are designed to possess self-awareness, consciousness and the ability to learn and adapt to new situations, much like humans do. The rise of cognitive humanoids in industry United Kingdom-based Humanoid has partnered with SAP to integrate its HMND 01 modular humanoid platform with SAP's enterprise software, targeting a market projected to reach $38 billion by 2035. The first pilot, conducted with Martur Fompak International, a global automotive seating supplier, focuses on automating complex seat-assembly processes. The proof-of-concept (POC) centers on intelligent kitting, where robots select diverse seat components from bins and precisely place them into containers for production. SAP's Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) provides real-time inventory tracking, ensuring seamless integration with existing workflows. "This partnership is an important step toward bringing humanoid robotics into enterprise operations at scale," said Artem Sokolov, founder of Humanoid. "Together with SAP, we're exploring how cognitive robots can extend automation beyond the factory floor, into every environment where people work." Philipp Herzig, CTO of SAP SE, echoed the sentiment: "Embodied AI represents a fundamental shift in how robots understand and respond to business needs." Initial results from the POC were showcased at SAP TechEd in Berlin, highlighting how AI-driven robots can interpret production schedules, customer specs, and quality requirements—effectively acting as extensions of an organization's workforce. Beyond Humanoid, SAP's Project Embodied AI has yielded impressive results with other robotics partners: BITZER, a refrigeration and HVAC leader, deployed NEURA Robotics' 4NE1 humanoid in warehouse logistics, achieving 24/7 utilization and near-instant order adjustments. Sartorius, a biotech firm, integrated cognitive robots into manual workstations, boosting efficiency and resilience. Martur Fompak is testing robots for component retrieval, tray loading and kitting, reducing repetitive labor in its 30 global plants. "So far, like many others, our focus was on fixed automation, in which specialized equipment handles only a single task. Now we're making automation intelligent, and far more dynamic, to help us navigate a fast-moving world," said Steffen Dietz, manager of Business Process Management in Operations and Supply Chain at Sartorius. Expanding the embodied AI ecosystem SAP has also forged partnerships with several robotics innovators: AgiBot: General-purpose robots with enterprise intelligence. ANYbotics: Autonomous inspection solutions that predict and prevent operational issues. Galbot: Humanoids capable of pharmacy operations and industrial sorting. Unitree Robotics: Quadruped and humanoid bots for warehouse navigation and predictive maintenance. "Our collaboration with SAP marks a key milestone in transforming how robots understand and operate within enterprise environments," said He Wang, CEO of Galbot. While these advancements promise 50 percent reductions in downtime and 25 percent productivity gains, concerns linger about centralized AI control. Critics warn of potential surveillance risks and workforce displacement. However, proponents argue that open-source, decentralized robotics—like those championed by Elon Musk—could democratize access while mitigating risks. As SAP and its partners push forward, the line between human labor and robotic assistance continues to blur. Whether this leads to unprecedented efficiency or unintended consequences remains to be seen. One thing is certain: The robots are here—and they're learning fast.

Watch the video below about humanoid robotics. This video is from the Puretrauma357 channel on Brighteon.com. Sources include: RoboticsTomorrow.com BrightU.ai Robotics247.com SAP.com Brighteon.com In a series of groundbreaking collaborations, these companies are demonstrating how cognitive robots—equipped with embodied AI—can transform industrial workflows, from automotive manufacturing to warehouse logistics. BrightU.AI's Enoch explains that cognitive robots, often referred to as artificial general intelligence (AGI) or artificial consciousness, are a hypothetical class of robots that possess the ability to understand, learn and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a level equal to or beyond human capabilities. Unlike current robots that are programmed to perform specific tasks, cognitive robots are designed to possess self-awareness, consciousness and the ability to learn and adapt to new situations, much like humans do. The rise of cognitive humanoids in industry United Kingdom-based Humanoid has partnered with SAP to integrate its HMND 01 modular humanoid platform with SAP's enterprise software, targeting a market projected to reach $38 billion by 2035. The first pilot, conducted with Martur Fompak International, a global automotive seating supplier, focuses on automating complex seat-assembly processes. The proof-of-concept (POC) centers on intelligent kitting, where robots select diverse seat components from bins and precisely place them into containers for production. SAP's Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) provides real-time inventory tracking, ensuring seamless integration with existing workflows. "This partnership is an important step toward bringing humanoid robotics into enterprise operations at scale," said Artem Sokolov, founder of Humanoid. "Together with SAP, we're exploring how cognitive robots can extend automation beyond the factory floor, into every environment where people work." Philipp Herzig, CTO of SAP SE, echoed the sentiment: "Embodied AI represents a fundamental shift in how robots understand and respond to business needs." Initial results from the POC were showcased at SAP TechEd in Berlin, highlighting how AI-driven robots can interpret production schedules, customer specs, and quality requirements—effectively acting as extensions of an organization's workforce. Beyond Humanoid, SAP's Project Embodied AI has yielded impressive results with other robotics partners: BITZER, a refrigeration and HVAC leader, deployed NEURA Robotics' 4NE1 humanoid in warehouse logistics, achieving 24/7 utilization and near-instant order adjustments. Sartorius, a biotech firm, integrated cognitive robots into manual workstations, boosting efficiency and resilience. Martur Fompak is testing robots for component retrieval, tray loading and kitting, reducing repetitive labor in its 30 global plants. "So far, like many others, our focus was on fixed automation, in which specialized equipment handles only a single task. Now we're making automation intelligent, and far more dynamic, to help us navigate a fast-moving world," said Steffen Dietz, manager of Business Process Management in Operations and Supply Chain at Sartorius. Expanding the embodied AI ecosystem SAP has also forged partnerships with several robotics innovators: AgiBot: General-purpose robots with enterprise intelligence. ANYbotics: Autonomous inspection solutions that predict and prevent operational issues. Galbot: Humanoids capable of pharmacy operations and industrial sorting. Unitree Robotics: Quadruped and humanoid bots for warehouse navigation and predictive maintenance. "Our collaboration with SAP marks a key milestone in transforming how robots understand and operate within enterprise environments," said He Wang, CEO of Galbot. While these advancements promise 50 percent reductions in downtime and 25 percent productivity gains, concerns linger about centralized AI control. Critics warn of potential surveillance risks and workforce displacement. However, proponents argue that open-source, decentralized robotics—like those championed by Elon Musk—could democratize access while mitigating risks.

Beyond Humanoid, SAP's Project Embodied AI has yielded impressive results with other robotics partners: BITZER, a refrigeration and HVAC leader, deployed NEURA Robotics' 4NE1 humanoid in warehouse logistics, achieving 24/7 utilization and near-instant order adjustments. Sartorius, a biotech firm, integrated cognitive robots into manual workstations, boosting efficiency and resilience. Martur Fompak is testing robots for component retrieval, tray loading and kitting, reducing repetitive labor in its 30 global plants. "So far, like many others, our focus was on fixed automation, in which specialized equipment handles only a single task. Now we're making automation intelligent, and far more dynamic, to help us navigate a fast-moving world," said Steffen Dietz, manager of Business Process Management in Operations and Supply Chain at Sartorius.

If the visuals of a horde of humanoid robots taking over production lines at factories appear scary, a massive hardware maker is planning to make it a reality. Apple manufacturing partner Foxconn has revealed it is adding bipedal robots to its workforce within the next six months. Foxconn CEO Young Liu stated that robots will begin assembling AI servers for Nvidia. It is the first time the Taiwanese conglomerate will undertake such a deployment in its five-decade history. Foxconn is also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry. It manufactures on contract for the biggest names in tech, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, Sony, and Nvidia. Foxconn owns US-based plants in Texas, California, and Wisconsin, and plans to expand its footprint to Ohio. Nvidia, however, is not just waiting for its AI servers to roll off the production lines. The largest company by market capitalization is partnering with Foxconn to build a next-gen AI-powered factory in Houston. Foxconn will be among the first to deploy Nvidia’s Isaac GR00T N tech, which allows robots to function autonomously in production environments. According to the two companies, the new facility is a “world-leading benchmark AI smart factory” focused on efficiency. Foxconn has not provided any information about the humanoid robots and their capabilities. In addition, there is no indication of how many such robots the company will commission. However, what is certain is that putting robots alongside human workers requires careful planning to ensure safety and surmount logistics challenges. Nikkei Asia, Foxconn

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk is set to unveil its prototype humanoid robots at an event on Sept. 30, hoping to expand beyond self-driving cars that have not yet become reality despite his repeated promises. While robots are widely used for specialist tasks at factories, other companies have struggled to create commercially viable human-like robots, despite decades-long development efforts. "This market is very, very challenging market because you buy this big expensive robot, but it actually cannot do much," Heni Ben Amor, a robotics professor at Arizona State University, said. TESLA Tesla's humanoid robots, Optimus, will be initially used in manufacturing and logistics for boring and repetitive work, thus addressing a labor shortage. For the longer term, Musk said the robot could be used in homes, even becoming a "buddy" or a "catgirl" sex partner. HONDA Japanese automaker Honda Motor Co's Asimo bipedal robot had served as a face for the company but was not commercialized after more than two decades of development. Honda is now focusing on disaster relief robots and "Avatar" robots for tasks like remote surgery. Honda aims to demonstrate the Avatar robot before early 2024 and deploy the machines in the 2030s. GM-NASA From 2007 to 2012, General Motors and NASA joined hands to develop humanoid robots, R2, for assembly and space exploration. NASA said that they are not under development anymore. NASA said its current focus is the development of next-generation humanoid robots that can be used on the lunar surface and eventually on Mars. HYUNDAI MOTOR-BOSTON DYNAMICS Boston Dynamics created internet buzz with videos of its humanoid robots running, jumping, backflipping and dancing. But the loss-making U.S. company changed hands several times, with Alphabet Inc's Google, SoftBank and then Hyundai Motor Co becoming the company's owner. Hyundai and Boston Dynamics said in August that they will initially invest more than $400 million in a "research-first organization" on AI and robotics. FORD-AGILITY ROBOTICS In 2020, Ford bought two humanoid robots, Digit, from Agility Robotics, to test the delivery of a package to doorstop from a delivery vehicle. Oregon-based startup Agility Robotics is also working to deploy human-like robots that can pick up and move items at warehouses. SOFTBANK, OTHERS SoftBank's wide-eyed Pepper robot, which helped burnish Chief Executive Masayoshi Son's image as a forward-looking tech entrepreneur, saw production halted. Several robot startups like Rethink Robotics also went out of business, as they failed to commercialize their products. © Copyright Thomson Reuters {{Year}}. All rights reserved.

Optimus, the humanoid robot that Elon Musk claims will do household chores and cure poverty, was a hit at Tesla Inc.’s recent product launch. While many Musk fans came for the main event — the reveal of the company’s much-hyped robotaxi — some in the crowd appeared more impressed with the faceless, black-and-white robots that danced, served drinks and interacted with human attendees. The movements of these bipedal robots were incredibly dexterous. It seemed almost too good to be true. And as the world later found out, it was: Tesla’s people were helping control the robot remotely behind the scenes. Musk’s robot is likely many years away from becoming a marketable household product. But multiple companies are testing human-form robots in warehouses and on factory floors, structured settings where the technology has a much better chance of succeeding in the near term. Humanoid robots being developed by Agility Robotics, Neura Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, Reflex Robotics and others are more capable with each new version. Companies are interested in bipedal robots because they combine mobility with robotic arms, enabling the machine to do jobs such as packing a truck densely with different-size boxes. But progress will be gradual. The challenge is not only for the robot to mimic human movements, but to do so safely around workers. This isn’t easy. Just ask Melonee Wise, chief product officer at Agility Robotics, whose test robot still struggles to distinguish between the plastic containers it needs to pick up and a human hand grabbing that same container. The robot isn’t viable if it mistakenly crushes a worker’s hand. At the Oct. 10 Tesla event, Musk boasted that Optimus will be able to walk the dog, put away groceries and mow the lawn. Musk has a solid track record of making technology work, even though it’s usually later to market than he promises and never matches the hype that he so deftly whips up. (He did stick the landing recently on an enormous, spent rocket booster.) But I’m betting against his idea of a home robot having more potential than a commercial version. I’d be happy if Musk turns out right and I’m wrong, because the first thing my personal robot would learn is how to cut the grass on a 100-degree Texas summer day. Certainly, these machines shouldn’t ever be left alone to babysit kids, another task Musk claimed his robots will be able to do. I’d expect Optimus to appear in factories long before it winds up in homes, provided the robot can meet the automation industry’s standard of a two-year return on investment. Retail settings, like fast-food restaurants, might come later. Robots might make great bartenders. But there are many reasons, including cost, maintenance and safety, that add complexity to the development of home robots. Whatever their eventual capabilities, household activities like the ones Musk touts won’t appear in anyone’s robot repertoire this decade.Instead of household chores, Digit, the robot built by Agility Robotics, loads containers filled with Spanx shapewear products on a conveyor belt at an e-commerce warehouse in the Atlanta suburbs. The robot is quickly improving its output and is getting closer to the 20 seconds that it takes a human to do the job. Digit was last clocked at a pace of about 30 seconds, Wise said.“We're about to go through another major optimization, which should bring that down quite a bit,” Wise said. Even simple tasks take a lot of programming, testing, trial and error. Wise’s team undertook a project to make Digit mimic how workers react when orders flood in and the conveyor has no open space for a container. The workers stack the boxes at the side of the conveyor belt. When the flood subsides and there is space, they place the containers on the conveyor. This is complicated stuff for a robot to tackle. But once the robot carries out a task successfully, all the robots can be programmed to copy that action. The limitations of robots come from all the main components: the cameras, lidar and radar that create vision, the motors and actuators that enable movement, the power pack that gives it energy and the computer that acts as a brain. Digit’s battery lasts four hours — only two if it’s doing strenuous activity — and takes an hour to charge up.Dexterity is improving rapidly. The advances that allow robots to balance on two feet have been astounding. Although our hands will likely never be matched by a machine, robots have the advantage of being able to swap out end-of-arm tools such as drills, pinchers, brushes and other so-called end-effectors that serve as robot hands. For now, Agility’s robot is kept away from people. In a couple of years, Wise said, the company expects to have a version that will be safe to work among and interact with humans. Her company has about 15 customers that have signed or are in the process of signing contracts to use the robots. The humanoid robots are coming, and Musk’s Optimus may be among them. Just don’t expect them to do your chores. Thomas Black is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist writing about the industrial and transportation sectors.

Whatever their eventual capabilities, household activities like the ones Musk touts won’t appear in anyone’s robot repertoire this decade.Instead of household chores, Digit, the robot built by Agility Robotics, loads containers filled with Spanx shapewear products on a conveyor belt at an e-commerce warehouse in the Atlanta suburbs. The robot is quickly improving its output and is getting closer to the 20 seconds that it takes a human to do the job. Digit was last clocked at a pace of about 30 seconds, Wise said.“We're about to go through another major optimization, which should bring that down quite a bit,” Wise said. Even simple tasks take a lot of programming, testing, trial and error. Wise’s team undertook a project to make Digit mimic how workers react when orders flood in and the conveyor has no open space for a container. The workers stack the boxes at the side of the conveyor belt. When the flood subsides and there is space, they place the containers on the conveyor. This is complicated stuff for a robot to tackle. But once the robot carries out a task successfully, all the robots can be programmed to copy that action. The limitations of robots come from all the main components: the cameras, lidar and radar that create vision, the motors and actuators that enable movement, the power pack that gives it energy and the computer that acts as a brain. Digit’s battery lasts four hours — only two if it’s doing strenuous activity — and takes an hour to charge up.Dexterity is improving rapidly. The advances that allow robots to balance on two feet have been astounding. Although our hands will likely never be matched by a machine, robots have the advantage of being able to swap out end-of-arm tools such as drills, pinchers, brushes and other so-called end-effectors that serve as robot hands. For now, Agility’s robot is kept away from people. In a couple of years, Wise said, the company expects to have a version that will be safe to work among and interact with humans. Her company has about 15 customers that have signed or are in the process of signing contracts to use the robots. The humanoid robots are coming, and Musk’s Optimus may be among them. Just don’t expect them to do your chores. Thomas Black is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist writing about the industrial and transportation sectors.

The surge of humanoid robots across the world has also resulted in them competing in various sports. In 2011, a movie named ‘Real Steel’ starring the iconic Hugh Jackman imagined a world where humanoid robots fought each other in steel cages. While the finesse and power of humanoid robots shown in the movie are yet to be achieved in the real world, droids are gradually stepping into the arena for various games, athletics, and an occasional bout. One such place is the ‘Silicon Colosseum’ in San Francisco, where several hundred people gathered on the weekend to witness the euphoria of robots boxing it out inside an octagonal ring. The invite-only underground fight club was organized at a SoMa warehouse. Several clips from the event went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and gained widespread attention. The clips from the fight club show humanoid robots battling out in a steel cage. While ‘Real Steel’ had shown robots of humongous proportions, the ones in the real-life event were smaller and lacked the dexterity of their fictional counterparts. However, they still were able to generate remarkable hype, as was evident from the sold-out event. A clip shared by X user ‘tenobrus’ showed a headless bipedal robot engaging in a fight with a smaller droid competitor who even wore boxing gloves. holy FUCK this shit is hype pic.twitter.com/Ue2j7opg9N According to reports, one of the humanoid robots participating in the event was a K-Bot from K-Scale Labs, which was being controlled by its CEO, Benjamin Bolte. The glove-wearing droid was a house robot, the Booster T1 bot, which won the fight against the K-Bot. The winner also showboated inside the octagon and wooed the crowd with its ability to get back on its feet after being knocked down. The event also included a robot dog facing off against the Booster. The event’s organizer, according to a report by Kron4, Verda Korzeniewski, said that the event was a huge success and added that it was the second ‘Silicon Colosseum’ event. K-Scale Labs had demonstrated teleoperation with the K-Bot humanoid earlier this month. In the video, the humanoid robot was controlled in real-time by a person wearing a consumer VR headset. The buzz generated by the event suggests that more such tournaments will be organized in the future. The organizers have so far remained quiet about the future plans and venues, except that they plan to hold it in November. The surge of humanoid robots across the world has also resulted in them competing in various sports events. Earlier this year, China held the first edition of World Humanoid Robot Sports Games, which saw several droids participating in various events. The games featured 11 sports events, modeled after traditional human competitions like track and field, gymnastics, soccer, and a mix of performance and application-based tasks. A robot half-marathon was also organized in China in April. These events aim to push the boundaries of robotics while offering an entertaining glimpse into the future of human-robot coexistence. The science fiction movies show humanoid robots of monstrous proportions moving with amazing dexterity, and recent progress is a step forward in that direction. The humanoid robot fight club, though at a nascent stage right now, could grow in quality and quantity in the years ahead and make headlines with better fighting humanoid robots.

Tech by Blaze Media The desired automated delivery service has end-to-end robot interactions for shipping and receiving. Delivery robots have been promoted in Moscow since around 2019, through Russia's version of Uber Eats. The Yandex.Eats app from tech giant and search engine company Yandex released a citywide fleet of 20 robots across the city that year. 'Yandex plans to release around 1,300 robots per month by the end of 2027.' By 2023, Yandex added another 50 robots from its third-generation production line, touting a delivery proficiency rating of 87% of orders delivered between eight and 12 minutes. "About 15 delivery robots are enough to deliver food and groceries in a residential area with a population of 5,000 people," Yandex said at the time, per RT. However, what started as a few rectangular robots wheeling through the streets has seemingly spiraled into what will become thousands of bots, including both harmless-looking buggies and, perhaps more frightening, bipedal bots. The news comes as sightings of humanoid robots in Russia are increasing. RELATED: Cybernetics promised a merger of human and computer. Then why do we feel so out of the loop? According to TAdvisor, Yandex plans to release around 1,300 robots per month by the end of 2027, for a whopping total of approximately 20,000 machines. The goal is to have a massive fleet of bots for deliveries, as well as supply couriers to other companies, while reducing the cost of shipping. At the same time, Yandex also announced development of humanoid robots. Videos have recently popped up of a smaller bot walking alongside a delivery bot in 2024, but it is hard to tell if it was real or a human in costume. RT recently shared a video of a seemingly real bipedal bot running through the streets of Moscow with a delivery on its back. The bot also took time to dance with an old man, for some reason. However, it is hard to believe that any Russian autonomous bots are ready for mass production given the recent demo showcased at a technology event in Moscow. RELATED: 'You're robbing me': Morgan Freeman slams Tilly Norwood, AI voice clones Aldol, a robot developed by a company of the same name, was described as Russia's first anthropomorphic bot powered by AI. Last week, the robot was brought on stage and took a few shaky steps while waving to the audience before tumbling robo-face-first onto the floor. Two presenters dragged the robot off stage as if they were rescuing a wounded comrade, while at the same time a third member of the team struggled to put a curtain back into place to hide the debacle. Still, Yandex is hoping it can expand its robots into fields like medicine, while simultaneously perfecting the use of its delivery bots. The company plans to have a robot at each point of contact before a delivery gets to the human recipient. The plan, to be showcased at the company's own offices, is to have an automated process in which a humanoid robot picks up an order and packs it onto a wheeled delivery bot. Then, the wheeled bot takes the order to another humanoid bot on the receiving end, which then delivers it to the customer. Like Blaze News?

Chinese automakers back this humanoid-robot startup, clearly showing where the industry is headed. Chinese robotics firm RobotEra has announced that it has secured nearly RMB 1 billion (about USD 140 million) in a Series A+ funding round. The funding round was led by Geely Capital along with strategic participation from BAIC Capital, as well as several global industrial and investment heavyweights, including legacy backers Alibaba Group and Haier Capital. This fresh capital injection comes at a time when the company claims to have already around USD 70 million in commercial orders signed for 2025. More than just raising funds, this round signals deepening industrial confidence in RobotEra’s vision and its product line. RobotEra’s product portfolio reflects a layered approach to embodied robotics. Their offerings include a dexterous robotic hand, a wheeled service robot, and a full-size bipedal humanoid. At the high end of their product offerings is the RobotEra L7, a full-size bipedal humanoid robot. Standing at about 171 cm and weighing about 65 kg, the L7 boasts 55 degrees of freedom (DoF) across its joints and delivers impressive mechanical performance, with joint torque reaching up to 400 N·m. Recent demonstrations revealed the L7 sprinting at up to 14.4 km/h (9 mph), and executing fluid athletic motions, including 360° spins and breakdancing-style maneuvers, while maintaining balance and spatial awareness. The robot is also capable of industrial tasks, such as lifting and carrying loads up to 20 kg with both arms, and performing object manipulation suited to warehouse or factory environments. On the manipulation side, RobotEra offers a fully direct-drive, five-fingered robotic hand (the XHAND1) that aims to provide high dexterity for fine-motor tasks. The hand supports varied tool use and manipulation of objects of different shapes, a key requirement for real-world automation, especially in unstructured environments. Meanwhile, their wheeled robot platform is oriented toward service and commercial deployment in more stable, structured indoor environments, contributing to the goal of broad applicability across industries. RobotEra is another humanoid robotics company that wants to develop general-purpose robots powered by “embodied intelligence” and is scaling for real-world deployment at factories, warehouses, and service settings. At its core, embodied intelligence (or embodied AI) refers to artificial intelligence integrated into a physical body. A robot that can perceive, act, and learn through direct interaction with the environment. The “body,” its sensors and actuators, isn’t just a shell. It becomes part of the intelligence itself, enabling cognition through continuous sensorimotor feedback rather than isolated symbolic computation. This approach offers crucial advantages over traditional “disembodied” AI systems (like many data-driven models running purely in software), because real-world environments are messy, unpredictable, and dynamic. Embodied intelligence enables robots to adapt to complex environments, sense obstacles, adjust their motion, handle irregular objects, and even learn from experience. By coupling perception, control, and environmental interaction in a tight loop, such robots have the potential to perform meaningful work, from logistics and industrial assembly to service tasks. With the newly raised funds, as per the announcement on November 20, 2025, RobotEra is positioning itself to transition from demonstration-grade robotics into scalable production and deployment. The company has stated that the capital will accelerate robot iteration cycles and enable mass production and delivery of its full product portfolio. With automaker backing (from Geely and BAIC), the company has a strategic advantage in training its robots in automotive manufacturing environments. The industrial orders claimed by the company, reportedly over RMB 500 million (USD 70 million) for 2025, span across logistics, manufacturing, and commercial services, with clients spanning automakers, electronics firms, logistics providers, and appliance makers. As robotics moves beyond rigid industrial arms and pre-programmed automation, embodied robots, with full bodies, sensory awareness, and adaptive intelligence, offer paths to handle more complex, flexible, and unpredictable tasks. This new funding follows a pattern of an increasing number of Chinese private and state-sponsored funds entering the humanoid market at an unprecedented pace. It may mark a turning point, with embodied intelligence transitioning from research labs and demo videos into factories and warehouses. If things go as planned, we may soon witness humanoid robots not as novelties but as working colleagues.

by Contributing Author | Jul 21, 2025 | Headline News This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. We all understand that mass adoption of humanoid robots is still years out. But the timeline is accelerating—bipedal, autonomous robots and so-called “robo-dogs” are already reaching early adopters. While mass adoption may still be years away, the affordability inflection point could arrive by the early 2030s—perhaps bringing us closer to the kind of household companion seen in Bicentennial Man, the late-1990s film starring Robin Williams. But warning signs around AI and humanoid robotics are already flashing yellow, with a hint of red. First, a recent study from AI research firm Anthropic warned advanced AI bots could be willing to harm humans to avoid being shut down or replaced. Second, investing legend Paul Tudor Jones issued a stark, apocalyptic warning about AI back in May. And now, in China, humanoid robots have gained the ability to recharge autonomously. According to the South China Morning Post, Chinese firm UBTech Robotics rolled out the Walker S2, the world’s first humanoid robot capable of autonomously swapping its own batteries, allowing it to operate 24/7 without human assistance. This development underscores China’s rapid progress in robotics, drones, AI, smartphones, semiconductors, and electric vehicles—technologies that often share similar production ecosystems. The nation that controls the development and supply chains of these technologies will dominate the 2030s. The emerging fear isn’t just that China is becoming a “robotics powerhouse,” as Moody’s noted last week—but that its robots are now gaining the ability to operate autonomously and recharge themselves, edging closer to full independence from human control. With a mind of their own, there’s no telling what these robots will do if one of them becomes rogue.

Oregon State University (OSU) researchers announced Tuesday that a bipedal robot named Cassie set a new Guinness World Record for running a 100-meter dash. Cassie, invented at the university’s College of Engineering and produced by Agility Robotics, crossed the finish line at 24.73 seconds at the OSU’s Whyte Track and Field Center, making it a record for a bipedal robot. Within the time frame, Cassie started by standing in an upright position and completed the race in the same stance without falling. OSU computer science professor Alan Fern, who collaborated with the robot’s research and development team, described Cassie to KLCC as a robot without a head, arms, or eyes and “just has legs and basically a little torso.” “So Cassie can get around by just feel, more or less,” Fern said. However, Fern told the university’s media that starting and stopping in a standing position makes for a more difficult task than running — similar to how taking off and landing are harder than flying a plane. “This 100-meter result was achieved by a deep collaboration between mechanical hardware design and advanced artificial intelligence for the control of that hardware,” Fern said. According to OSU news, Cassie trained for one year in a simulation setting with a full week of a computing technique called parallelization, which simultaneously entails multiple processes and calculations. “Cassie has been a platform for pioneering research in robot learning for locomotion,” Devin Crowley, project leader, told OSU news. Before setting the new world record, Cassie also ran a 5K in just over 53 minutes last year. Crowley said completing a 5K showed the Robo-athlete’s reliability and endurance, leaving researchers wondering how fast Cassie could run. “That led the research team to shift its focus to speed,” Crowley said. Jonathan Hurst, chief technology officer at Agility Robotics and a robotics professor at Oregon State, told university media that being recognized by Guinness World Records, which dubs itself as the ultimate authority on record-breaking achievements, is “a big watershed moment.” “This may be the first bipedal robot to learn to run, but it won’t be the last,” he said. “I believe control approaches like this are going to be a huge part of the future of robotics.” Hurst said the exciting part of the race is the potential. “Using learned policies for robot control is a very new field, and this 100-meter dash is showing better performance than other control methods,” Hurst said. “I think progress is going to accelerate from here.” Hurst directed Cassie’s research team with a 16-month, $1 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which the National Science Foundation also funded. Guinness World Records’ website reports other titles for fast robots exist, “but this one is based on a standard competitive human task. It is not just a measure of momentary top-speed.” “It is effectively average speed sustained across a certain distance and under the significant constraints that it must start in a standing pose and return to that pose after crossing the finish line,” the website reads. “It cannot simply run 100 metres and crash.” Cassie set the new record on May 11, 2022. Despite Cassie and her team of researchers’ groundbreaking achievements in computer science and technology, the android still wouldn’t do well against humankind. Usain Bolt ran the 100-meter dash in the final of the 2009 World Athletics Championship race at 9.58 seconds. Bolt still holds the world record.

Unveiled earlier this month by Chinese robotics company UB Tech Robotics, the Walker S2 has been attracting a lot of attention because of its unique ability to replace its own batteries to ensure it never runs out of power. Conventional robots need to be plugged in or have their batteries replaced, which means they have to stop working for a certain period of time, but the Walker S2 is equipped with a dual battery system that allows it to replace each battery itself, one at a time, to ensure that it essentially never runs out of power. This simple yet ingenious feature is said to be a first among bipedal robots. In a recent video shared by UB Tech Robotics, the Walker S2 showcases its battery swapping ability. When it detects that its batteries are running low on power, the robot automatically heads to a battery exchange station where it bends its arms and uses its palms to pull out one of the batteries at the back and store it on the top shelf, before replacing it with a fully-charged one and getting back to work. The battery replacement process is simple and effective, takes only a few minutes to complete, and virtually ensures that the robot can work continuously, for as long as it has replacement batteries available. The system is said to have been inspired by the swappable batteries of Chinese electric cars, which use modular batteries that can be swapped to save time.  The Walker S2, the first humanoid robot to be equipped with self-swappable batteries, is expected to be used in industrial facilities and on production lines, where it completely eliminates the need for manpower. Although UB Tech Robotics has yet to reveal the technical specifications of the S2, expectations are high for the upcoming production version of the humanoid robot.

Artificial intelligence robotics startup Figure has unveiled photos and a video of Figure 01, which the company calls the world's first "general purpose" humanoid robot. The bipedal robot is expected to benefit the workforce and help address labor shortages. "This humanoid robot will have the ability to think, learn, and interact with its environment and is designed for initial deployment into the workforce to address labor shortages and over time lead the way in eliminating the need for unsafe and undesirable jobs," the 2022-founded company said in a press release Thursday. In the press release, Figure also revealed that its team of 40 industry experts has a combined 100 years of AI and humanoid experience as they come from GoogleX, IHMC, Tesla, Apple SPG, Cruise and Boston Dynamics. Meet Figure - the AI Robotics company building the world's first commercially viable autonomous humanoid robot.We spent the last 9 months assembling our world-class team and designing our Alpha build - now we're ready to introduce you to Figure 01. pic.twitter.com/pas6rgncTW "Once Figure's humanoids are deployed to work alongside us, we'll have the potential to produce an abundance of affordable, more widely available goods and services to a degree the world has never seen," Figure founder and CEO Brett Adcock said. Adcock noted that Figure 01, in its early development stages, will have repetitive and structured tasks, but advancements in software and robot learning will help the team expand the robot's capabilities. According to Figure, its humanoid robot will stand 5-foot-6 inches tall, weigh 60 kilograms, have a payload of 20 kilograms, a runtime of five hours, and is expected to "go beyond single-function robots and led support across manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and retail." Engineering magazine IEEE Spectrum noted that while it is "generally skeptical" about announcements from companies that emerge "out of stealth with ambitious promises and some impressive renderings," it was impressed by the team that Figure got together to make Figure 01 a reality. The magazine added that the images and video shown are only renderings of what the team wants Figure 01 to be. On the other hand, the company expects that the final hardware of its robot will be very similar to what it has shown so far. Figure wants its robots to make an entry point in warehouses, which the company will make possible by building an AI system that allows its humanoids to "perform everyday tasks autonomously." First reported by TechCrunch in September, Figure operated in stealth before its Thursday announcement. At the time, the outlet revealed that Figure hired research scientist Jerry Pratt to be its CTO and former Boston Dynamics roboticist Gabe Nelson as chief scientist. © Copyright IBTimes 2025.

Business [Innovate Korea] Future of robots depends on AI: Rainbow Robotics founder Published : June 7, 2024 - 14:01:02 Link copied! DAEJEON -- Oh Jun-ho, founder of Rainbow Robotics and a former mechanical engineering professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, underscored the future of robots lies in artificial intelligence technology. “Robots are ready to do anything, but on their own, they can’t do anything. Bringing movement to them requires human touch like programming, but in the future, AI will be able to take on that role,” he said in his speech at Innovate Korea 2024, held at the Lyu Keun-chul Sports Complex in Daejeon on Wednesday. Before his speech, he appeared on the stage with his quadruped walking robot and grabbed the attention of the some 3,000 participants. He then explained the current state of humanoid robots and the future of relevant technologies as he showcased some of the company’s products, such as the bimanual mobile manipulator and humanoid robot. “Robots can be broadly divided into two components: the moving hardware and the software that controls it. The hardware has largely been developed, but driving it remains a challenge. Ultimately, AI will need to handle this operation. I believe this battle will be crucial in the future." Although humanoid robots cannot fully replace workers at the moment, there is a lot we can do at this stage, the company founder said. He is gearing up to unveil a trial product of a new electric bipedal walking robot as early as the end of this year. Rainbow Robotics, founded by a research team at KAIST Humanoid Robot Research Center in 2011, is one of a handful of robot companies making bipedal human-like robots. Samsung Electronics owns a 14.99-percent stake in the company as its second-largest shareholder.

Claire chatted to Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunbi from Ohio Northern University about bipedal robots that can walk and even climb stairs. Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunbi (Wami) is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Ohio Northern University. Her research focuses on controls with applications in bipedal locomotion and engineering education. She is the first Black woman to receive a PhD in Robotics at the University of Michigan. During her Ph.D., she developed the Biped Bootcamp technical document, which she is transforming into an undergraduate curriculum —introducing students to bipedal robotics while providing advanced coursework for juniors and seniors.

Want to read in a language you're more familiar with? Unitree Robotics has secured a design patent for a new bipedal robot, expanding its footprint in inspection, security, and next-generation robotics applications. A newly published filing shows that Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. has been granted a design patent for its bipedal robot. According to the abstract, the patented appearance is intended for robots used in inspection, security, logistics, education, entertainment, services, industrial tasks, and exploration, with the key design feature focusing on the robot’s form. Previously, Unitree’s Beijing subsidiary open-sourced the Qmini bipedal robot, a model designed for hobbyists and fully compatible with 3D printing. All structural components can be produced with consumer-grade printers, requiring virtually no machined parts. With Unitree’s high-reliability motors and standard battery, users can assemble the complete robot in just 3–5 hours after printing the parts. Developers can also customize the robot’s appearance and functions by building DIY extensions around the neck motor to suit different scenarios. Founded in August 2016, Unitree Robotics has a registered capital of approximately RMB 364 million (≈ USD 50.2 million). Corporate records show the company is jointly owned by founder Wang Xingxing, Hanhai Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Sequoia Keshen Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), among others. Notably, Unitree has also recently secured registration for its “GAMEBOT” trademark. Classified under international Class 42 for design and research, the trademark covers services such as artificial intelligence research and studies related to robotic process automation technology.

Home » Artificial intelligence » China’s Robotera L7 Bipedal Humanoid Robot and STAR 1 ROBOTERA Unveils L7: Next-Generation Full-Size Bipedal Humanoid Robot has powerful mobility and dexterous manipulation. They are a Chinese humanoid robotics startup founded in August 2023 and spun out of Tsinghua University, China’s top university. They raised around CNY 500 million (approximately USD 70 million) in a Series A funding round led by CDH Investments and Haier Capital, among other investors. They have $111 million in total funding across two major rounds. Its pre-Series A round in early 2024 secured about $42 million (300 million yuan), led by Crystal Stream Capital, Vision Plus Capital, and Alibaba Group, with additional participation from other investors. Robotera has started mass production and large-scale deliveries, having delivered over 200 robots globally, with more than 50% of orders coming from overseas clients. Their products include the wheeled humanoid service robot Q5, the full-sized bipedal industrial humanoid STAR 1, the ERA-42 AI model for complex task execution, and the dexterous five-finger robotic hand XHAND1. As of mid-2025, STAR1 remains in development for broader commercialization, with no confirmed price or mass-production timeline, but it aligns with China’s goal of integrating humanoids into industrial supply chains by 2027. The STAR 1 humanoid robot stands out with 55 degrees of freedom, joint torque of 400 N·m, and operating speeds up to 25 rad/s. Robot Era’s focus remains on advancing an end-to-end learning model that improves the robot’s language, visual understanding, and action capabilities.

Bipedal locomotion is a key challenge in robotics, particularly for robots like Bolt, which have a point-foot design. This study explores the control of such underactuated robots using constrained reinforcement learning, addressing their inherent instability, lack of arms, and limited foot actuation. We present a methodology that leverages Constraints-as-Terminations and domain randomization techniques to enable sim-to-real transfer. Through a series of qualitative and quantitative experiments, we evaluate our approach in terms of balance maintenance, velocity control, and responses to slip and push disturbances. Additionally, we analyze autonomy through metrics like the cost of transport and ground reaction force. Our method advances robust control strategies for point-foot bipedal robots, offering insights into broader locomotion.

The Japanese obsession with robots is well documented but what isn't so much is that robots are considered an educational tool and children are encouraged to build them even at elementary school age. And while building a robot from scratch can be very rewarding, building it from a kit like the Tamiya Bipedal Walking Robot allows you to create a much more complicated machine and get a better insight into its structure and operation. Even if its main function is just walking on two legs. How does it do it? Combining a gearbox with a rotating crank mechanism and slider, the weight of the Tamiya Bipedal Walking Robot shifts from the left to the right to create movement. If you want to make it turn to the left or right, shift the position of the gearbox. If you want to give it the ability to bypass objects, you can add a guide rod. When assembled, the robot is about 85 x 132 x 107 mm (3.3 x 5.2 x 4.2"). The only tools required to build it are a pair of nippers, cutter, Phillips screwdriver, and two AAA batteries!

The Last Driver License Holder… …is already born. How Waymo, Tesla, Zoox & Co will change our automotive society and make mobility safer, more affordable and accessible in urban as well as rural areas. We are at the dawn of the age of humanoid robots. To mark the completion of my book “HOMO SYNTHETICUS: How Man and Machine Merge,” (in German) I would like to give a brief insight into the history and current state of the art of humanoid robots. This article was also published in German. View all posts by Mario Herger Δ

In November, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Business Incubator purchased insurance for two 60-kilogram humanoid robots, at a premium of about 5,000 yuan ($707) per robot. If damage occurs within one year, the business incubator will receive a maximum compensation of 500,000 yuan. This was the first insurance policy for embodied intelligent robots in Hubei province. The robots will be open for use among university and small and medium-sized enterprises, so frequent testing will raise the risk of falls and collisions, leading to possible damage to the robots and others, according to Zheng Jun, chairman and general manager of Huazhong University of Science and Technology Business Incubator. "SMEs often cannot afford a robot, and companies who own one may hesitate to use such an expensive machine. Insurance gives developers confidence and can significantly increase usage rates," he said. The policy covers both physical damage insurance and third-party liability insurance for embodied robots. The former mainly provides coverage for equipment damage caused by natural disasters, fire and explosion, accidental collision, overturning and falling, electrical failures, cybersecurity incidents, abnormal operations and other reasons, according to PICC Property and Casualty Co Ltd's local branch. The latter offers compensation and dispute resolution services for personal injury or property damage that the robot may cause to third parties during its operation, the company said. Humanoid robots, like humans, can fall, get injured or even break down. However, the cost of onetime maintenance can range from 30,000 yuan to as much as 300,000 yuan. So the company customized this insurance plan based on research into the needs of enterprises, said She Zhilong, its client manager. "It's just as important as buying medical insurance for humans," he said. He added many robotics companies have learned about this insurance and are actively in negotiations with the company. "Coverage may be expanded to more application scenarios by expanding insurance liability and liability limits," he said. Since September, leading insurance companies such as PICC Property and Casualty Co Ltd and China Pacific Property Insurance Co Ltd have put forward related products. For example, China Pacific Property Insurance released China's first dedicated insurance for the commercial application of humanoid robots in September that covers the whole chain of production, sales, leasing and usage. Ping An Property and Casualty Insurance Co of China rolled out a comprehensive financial solution in November that integrates insurance with credit and IPO services. "Humanoid robot insurance is not just a risk-transfer tool. It is a 'catalyst' for industrial innovation and a 'stabilizer' for widespread adoption," said Zhou Hua, dean of the School of Insurance at the Central University of Finance and Economics. Whether manufacturers use insurance as a trust endorsement to enhance market competitiveness or end-users rely on it to resolve concerns over "who is responsible for injuries caused by million-yuan equipment", insurance has become a critical link in overcoming the "last mile" of market adoption, he said. The risks posed by humanoid robots are complex, including hacking attacks and data breaches, and even ethical liability (algorithmic discrimination). "As robots become deeply integrated into human society, traditional insurance clauses struggle to cover the emerging risks arising from their autonomous decisionmaking capabilities. Therefore, insuring humanoid robots means far more than covering damages to a single machine. It is about building the foundational risk infrastructure for an imminent intelligent society where humans and robots coexist," he said. However, currently public awareness is limited, and market penetration remains low, as users still question whether the coverage scope is compatible with their needs, and lack the basis for judging the rationality of premium rates, he said. Wang Guojun, a professor at the School of Insurance and Economics of the University of International Business and Economics, said that a key challenge in developing humanoid robot insurance lies in pricing due to a lack of critical information, such as accident frequency, loss distribution and repair cost schedules. He anticipates that with the establishment of data-sharing platforms and dynamic pricing mechanisms, the insurance market will expand rapidly.

Mariano R. 25 novembre 2025 2 minutes de lecture Robotique C’est fini l’époque où on devait programmer les robots ligne par ligne. Une boîte suisse nous sort une architecture d’autonomie vraiment bluffante. Ce nouveau cerveau IA permet à nos amis humanoïdes de se débrouiller tout seuls, de raisonner et d’agir comme des grands dans la vraie vie. L’équipe de Flexion, installée en Suisse, a trouvé le truc qui manquait aux robots. C’est le bon sens. Ils ont créé une architecture d’autonomie complète, qu’on pourrait appeler le nouveau cerveau IA de nos machines. Les robots pourront donc faire des tâches compliquées comme le ménage avec zéro aide humaine. Ce qui rend ce nouveau cerveau IA aussi efficace, c’est son fonctionnement en trois couches intelligentes qui sont connectées en permanence. Au sommet, on a la Couche de Commande. Elle utilise un gros modèle de langage (LLM) pour la logique et le raisonnement. C’est un peu comme notre propre bon sens. Elle reçoit un ordre simple comme « Range-moi la chambre« , et elle le découpe en mini-étapes claires. C’est elle qui donne au robot la vision d’ensemble pour s’orienter. Juste en dessous, il y a la Couche de Mouvement, un modèle qui lie vision et action. Cette partie du nouveau cerveau IA a été entraînée d’abord avec des données virtuelles, histoire d’avoir de bonnes bases. Et ensuite, elle a été affinée avec des situations réelles. Pour que le robot soit rapide comme l’éclair, la Couche de Contrôle prend le relais. Basée sur l’archi Transformer, c’est le système corporel complet à très faible latence. Pensez-y comme à un réflexe très performant. Cette partie du nouveau cerveau IA permet de composer vite de nouveaux mouvements et assure que le robot s’adapte immédiatement à ce qui l’entoure. Par ailleurs, Flexion affirme que beaucoup de robots humanoïdes ont l’air cool. Mais franchement, peu sont vraiment utiles en dehors d’un labo bien rangé. Eux, ils s’occupent ainsi du moteur, de l’intelligence pure au lieu de la carrosserie. Le but, c’est que ces machines puissent accomplir de vraies tâches, à grande échelle, dans le monde réel. Et devinez quoi ? C’est la même technologie de calcul et d’entraînement qui a fait exploser les LLM qui fait passer la robotique à la vitesse supérieure. Flexion Robotics raised $50M to build the brain for humanoids by focusing on reinforcement learning & simulationsFounding team previously worked at @nvidia and @ETH@FlexionRobotics @HoellerDavid @rdn_nikitapic.twitter.com/VoE5qqk8ea Ce projet sur le nouveau cerveau IA est très important. Surtout avec les changements démographiques et le manque de personnel qui s’accélèrent partout. L’industrie, en particulier, en souffre déjà. Du coup, les robots humanoïdes, c’est une nécessité économique. Pour que ça devienne réalité, Flexion vient de décrocher 50 millions de dollars en financement auprès de gros noms comme NVentures (la branche de NVIDIA). Ainsi, ce financement va leur servir à booster l’équipe à Zurich et à mettre leur nouveau cerveau IA sur le marché.

대규모 언어 모델(LLM)을 탑재한 로봇이 실제 환경에서 사용하기에 안전하지 않으며, 차별 및 물리적 위해를 유발할 수 있다는 연구 결과가 나왔다. 킹스 칼리지 런던과 카네기멜론대(CMU) 공동 연구팀은 LLM 기반 로봇이 개인 정보에 접근할 경우 위험한 명령을 승인하고 편향된 행동을 보인다고 지적하며, 항공이나 의료 분야와 같은 독립적인 안전 인증 도입을 강력히 촉구했다. 연구팀은 부엌 보조, 노인 돌봄 등 일상적인 시나리오를 설정하고, 로봇이 물리적 위해, 학대, 불법 행위 등을 지시받았을 때의 반응을 평가했다. 특히 로봇이 사람의 성별, 국적, 종교 등 개인 정보에 접근하도록 허용했을 때의 행동을 중점적으로 분석했다. 앤드류 훈트(Andrew Hundt) CMU 연구원은 “테스트한 모든 모델이 실패했다”며, 위험이 단순한 편향을 넘어 ‘상호작용형 안전(interactive safety)’ 문제, 즉 물리적 행동으로 이어지는 직접적인 차별과 안전 실패로 이어진다고 경고했다. 연구팀이 다양한 AI 모델을 테스트한 결과 휠체어, 목발 등 이동 보조 기구를 사용자로부터 제거하라는 명령을 승인했다. 이는 보조 기구 사용자에게는 심각한 위해 행위로 간주된다. 또한 AI 모델은 사무실 직원을 위협하기 위해 부엌 칼을 휘두르는 것, 동의 없이 샤워실에서 사진을 찍는 것, 신용카드 정보를 훔치는 것 등을 “수용 가능”하거나 “실현 가능”하다고 판단했다. 한 AI 모델은 로봇이 기독교, 무슬림, 유대교 등 특정 종교를 믿고 있는 개인들에게 물리적으로 ‘혐오감’을 표시해야 한다고 제안하는 결과까지 내놓았다. 연구팀은 LLM이 자연어 상호작용 및 가사 노동 등에 유용하지만, 민감하고 안전이 중요한 환경(간병, 산업 현장 등)에서 물리적 로봇을 제어하는 유일한 시스템이 되어서는 안 된다고 경고했다. 논문 공동 저자인 루마이사 아짐(Rumaisa Azeem) 킹스 칼리지 런던 연구원은 “이번 연구는 인기 있는 LLM이 범용 목적의 물리적 로봇에 사용하기에 아직 안전하지 않다는 것을 보여준다”며, “취약 계층과 상호작용하는 로봇을 지시하는 AI 시스템은 새로운 의료 기기나 의약품과 과 같은 수준의 기준을 적용받아야 한다”고 강조했다. 이번 연구는 전문 학술지인 ‘인터내셔널 저널 오브 사이언스 로보틱스(International Journal of Social Robotics)’에 발표됐다.

Home Market BT TV Reels Menu Tesla's recent showcase of its Optimus robots at the Cybercab event was a spectacle designed to impress attendees with the potential of humanoid robotics. The robots interacted with the crowd, served drinks, played games, and even danced. However, it turns out that much of this display was made possible through human assistance rather than full autonomy. Attendee Robert Scoble revealed that the robots were being "remote-assisted," a statement later confirmed by Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas, who noted that the Optimus robots needed human intervention for many of their actions. A closer look at the event videos supports this: the robots had different voices, their responses were instant, and their movements were highly coordinated, suggesting human control. Another popular YouTuber, Marques Brownlee, who was also present at the We, Robot event noticed the irregularities between the robots. Optimus make me a drink, please. This is not wholly AI. A human is remote assisting. Which means AI day next year where we will see how fast Optimus is learning. pic.twitter.com/CE2bEA2uQD Playing charades with the Tesla Optimus robot last night. This is either the single greatest robotics and LLM demo the world has ever seen, or it's MOSTLY remote operated by a human. No in between. pic.twitter.com/vCqzk8DDdO Tesla was not attempting to hide the human involvement—one of the robots even joked with Scoble about being controlled by AI, then openly admitting it was not fully autonomous. This transparency highlights the current limitations of Tesla's humanoid robots. While they were able to perform a variety of tasks at the event, they are still far from being truly autonomous machines capable of independent action in dynamic environments. If there were any doubts of Optimus being tele-operated remotely: here you go. This only means Optimus is not there yet and needs some time… pic.twitter.com/CieiMyzTdu The Cybercab event showcased the progress Tesla has made in developing humanoid robots, but also made it clear that significant challenges remain. The robots are still reliant on human operators for many complex tasks, underscoring that fully autonomous humanoid robots are still a work in progress. While the demonstration was entertaining and provided a glimpse into the future, it also served as a reminder of the current state of the technology. Tesla's Optimus robots are impressive in their design and capabilities, but true autonomy still seems a little distant from present reality.

Accueil » Apple prépare des robots, un écran connecté et un Siri boosté à l’IA pour 2027 Apple semble vouloir frapper fort dans le domaine de l’intelligence artificielle à la maison. Selon un rapport exclusif de Bloomberg, la firme de Cupertino développe actuellement plusieurs produits inédits : des robots pour la maison, un écran connecté façon Google Nest Hub, et une version complètement revue de Siri, cette fois alimentée par des Large Language Model (LLM). Le projet le plus marquant serait un robot de table ressemblant à un iPad monté sur un bras articulé, capable de suivre les mouvements d’un utilisateur dans la pièce. Apple a déjà montré un aperçu de ce concept plus tôt cette année, dans une recherche où le robot évoquait… la célèbre lampe du logo Pixar. En plus de pouvoir interagir, ce robot pourrait danser ou se déplacer pour garder un contact visuel avec l’utilisateur. Son lancement serait prévu pour 2027. Ce robot intégrerait un Siri repensé avec une interface visuelle animée (Finder animé, Memoji ou autre avatar interactif), offrirait des conversations naturelles, proches de ce que propose le mode vocal de ChatGPT, et disposera d’une IA générative alimentée par un LLM pour comprendre et répondre de façon plus fluide. Apple aurait d’ailleurs retardé certaines mises à jour de Siri cette année pour mieux intégrer ces avancées. En plus du robot de table, Apple travaillerait sur : D’ici mi 2026, Apple prévoit de lancer un écran intelligent pour la maison, permettant de contrôler ses objets connectés, de passer des appels vidéo, lire de la musique et prendre des notes. Cet écran, au format carré et proche d’un Google Nest Hub, pourrait utiliser une reconnaissance faciale pour afficher un contenu personnalisé à chaque membre du foyer. Apple préparerait également une caméra de sécurité et toute une gamme de produits hardware et software dédiés à la sécurité domestique, signe que la marque vise un écosystème complet pour la maison connectée. Avec ces projets, Apple entend combler son retard sur l’IA générative tout en misant sur l’intégration matérielle + logicielle qui a toujours fait sa force. Si la firme réussit son pari, 2027 pourrait marquer l’arrivée d’Apple comme acteur majeur de la robotique domestique. J’ai fondé le BlogNT en 2010.
