	SoftBank to acquire ABB’s robotics arm in $5.4 billion deal: …	https://www.livemint.com/companies/news…	1	Apr 29, 2026 16:00	active
SoftBank to acquire ABB’s robotics arm in $5.4 billion deal: All about Masayoshi Son's latest AI push \| Company Business News URL: https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/softbank-to-acquire-abb-s-robotics-arm-in-5-4-billion-deal-all-about-masayoshi-sons-latest-ai-push-11759922007011.html Description: SoftBank Group will buy ABB's robotics business for $5.4 billion, aiming to integrate robotics with artificial intelligence. The move follows ABB's struggles in sales and profitability within the robots unit. Content: SoftBank Group has agreed to acquire the robotics business of Swiss engineering group ABB for $5.4 billion, marking a major step in the Japanese investor's strategy to merge robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), which Founder and CEO Masayoshi Son calls “Physical AI.” This acquisition, announced on Wednesday, is the latest effort by CEO Son to establish Softbank as a core player in the development of artificial intelligence. Although SoftBank pushed into humanoid robotics a decade ago with its Pepper robot before scaling back, its recent investments in the sector include Berkshire Grey and AutoStore, alongside leading a $40 billion funding round in ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and $6.5 billion purchase of chip design company Ampere in March, news agency Reuters reported. The deal means ABB has abandoned its original decision to spin off and separately list its industrial automation business, which competes with Japan's Fanuc and Yaskawa, as well as Germany's Kuka, in the manufacturing of factory robots. The decision is the first major move under ABB CEO Morten Wierod, who took charge last year, following years of struggling sales and falling profitability within the robots unit. The robotics division, which employs 7,000 people and generated sales of $2.3 billion last year or 7% of ABB's total revenues — saw limited operational crossover with the rest of the company, which primarily focused on electrification and automation. ABB announced to shareholders in April its decision to spin off robotics but decided to sell instead because the SoftBank deal provided money immediately, Wierod told Reuters. The acquisition is expected to close in mid- to late-2026 and will generate cash proceeds of roughly $5.3 billion, ABB told Reuters. "We always said that robotics is a market with much higher volatility. And that's what we've seen over the years, both when it comes to growth, but also margins," Wierod said. “So it is a bit of a different market than, say, the rest of ABB today, which is focusing on electrification and automation.” ABB will spend the proceeds from the sale on developing new technology and production capacity in electrification and automation, and may also consider funding new acquisitions, Wierod said. "We do have firepower to also do bigger acquisitions, so we're not excluding bigger deals," he added.

	Softbank Takes Over ABB Robotics In A $5.4 Billion Deal …	https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/10/4809…	1	Apr 29, 2026 16:00	active
Softbank Takes Over ABB Robotics In A $5.4 Billion Deal To Bolster AI Portfolio - ABB (OTC:ABBNY), ARM Ho - Benzinga URL: https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/10/48094087/softbank-buys-abb-robotics-in-5-4-billion-deal-to-boost-ai-play Description: SoftBank Group (OTC: SFTBY) (OTC: SFTBF) said on Wednesday it will buy the robotics division of Swiss engineering firm ABB (OTC: ABBNY) in a $5.4 billion deal, as the Japanese firm looks to boost its artificial intelligence portfolio. Content: “SoftBank's next frontier is Physical AI. Together with ABB Robotics, we will unite world-class technology and talent under our shared vision to fuse Artificial Super Intelligence and robotics — driving a groundbreaking evolution that will propel humanity forward,” CEO Masayoshi Son said. The deal means ABB will no longer pursue plans to spin off its robotics division into a separate publicly listed company. The transaction is expected to close in mid-to-late 2026 and generate cash proceeds of roughly $5.3 billion from the divestment, ABB said in a statement. The expected separation costs related to the deal are around $200 million, about half of which has already been baked into the 2025 outlook, the company added.

SoftBank owns chip designer Arm (NASDAQ:ARM) and has a major stake in ChatGPT owner OpenAI. The company also announced a partnership with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) in June to launch a $70 million AI memory project in Japan to address energy challenges in the data center market. The group is not new to robotics either. In 2012, SoftBank acquired a majority stake in French company Aldebaran and launched the humanoid robot Pepper in 2014—a venture that failed, though robotics has since become a major focus for the company. It also has investments in robotics-related firms like AutoStore Holdings and Agile Robots.

Content: SoftBank Group on Monday said it had agreed to buy the robotics division of Swiss engineering firm ABB for $5.4 billion, as the Japanese giant looks to bolster its artificial intelligence plays. The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval globally, means ABB will no longer look to spin off its robotics business as a separately listed company. "SoftBank's next frontier is Physical AI. Together with ABB Robotics, we will unite world-class technology and talent under our shared vision to fuse Artificial Super Intelligence and robotics — driving a groundbreaking evolution that will propel humanity forward," Masayoshi Son, founder of SoftBank, said in a statement. Artificial Super Intelligence, or ASI, is Son's idea of AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans. Son has looked to position SoftBank at the center of the potential AI boom through investments and acquisitions in different areas of technology. SoftBank owns chip designer Arm, for example, and has a major stake in OpenAI. SoftBank already has some robot-related investments, including AutoStore Holdings and Agile Robots. The Japanese conglomerate is not new to robotics. In 2012, SoftBank took a majority stake in a French company called Aldebaran. Two years later, the two companies launched a humanoid robot called Pepper — a bet that ultimately flopped, but robotics has now re-emerged as a key focus for the Japanese giant. Morten Wierod, who became CEO of ABB in August 2024, has pushed the spin-off of the company's robotics unit as a strategic move. ABB said in a statement that the sale "will create immediate value to ABB shareholders." The company said it will use the proceeds from the transaction "in line with its well-established capital allocation principles." ABB said it expected cash proceeds of approximately $5.3 billion. The expected separation cost is around $200 million, about half of which is already in ABB's 2025 guidance. Got a confidential news tip? We want to hear from you.

	SoftBank Robotics to Launch FLAMA Commercial Flame-Cooking Robot in Japan, …	https://jp.ibtimes.com/softbank-robotic…	1	Apr 29, 2026 16:00	active
SoftBank Robotics to Launch FLAMA Commercial Flame-Cooking Robot in Japan, With Orders Opening April 7 \| IBTimes JP URL: https://jp.ibtimes.com/softbank-robotics-launch-flama-commercial-flame-cooking-robot-japan-orders-opening-april-7-100424 Description: SoftBank Robotics said it will start sales of its commercial flame-cooking robot, FLAMA, in Japan, with exclusive domestic sales handled by subsidiary Gourmet X. Content: Key Points SoftBank Robotics said it will begin selling its commercial flame-cooking robot, FLAMA, with applications in Japan opening on April 7, 2026. Domestic sales will be handled exclusively by Gourmet X, a SoftBank Robotics subsidiary. The Tokyo-based company said FLAMA was developed for the Japanese food-service market by combining its Food DX expertise with the "Multicooker" manufactured by Hestia Technology Limited. According to SoftBank Robotics, the product is aimed at addressing two issues in the restaurant industry: inconsistency in cooking quality and labor shortages. FLAMA is designed to automate multiple cooking processes in a single machine. SoftBank Robotics said the system covers the addition of ingredients and seasonings, stir-frying, mixing, thickening, plating, and cleaning after cooking. The company said this could reduce the burden on staff and help restaurants maintain stable cooking operations with fewer workers, allowing employees to focus on customer-facing tasks. A key part of the product positioning is that it can be introduced without significantly changing an existing kitchen. SoftBank Robotics described FLAMA as a cooking solution built for collaboration between people and robots rather than as a stand-alone replacement for kitchen staff. The company also said FLAMA can be linked with its recipe management software, SyncKitchen. Through that connection, recipes from well-known chefs and popular restaurants can be synchronized and reproduced in different locations. SoftBank Robotics said the software also supports recipe creation, management and updates, while storing development logs that could help improve menu development efficiency. The system supports Japanese, English and Chinese, according to the company. SoftBank Robotics plans to present FLAMA publicly at FABEX 2026, the 29th trade exhibition for prepared foods, deli products, boxed meals, takeout, food service, school and institutional meals, and meal delivery. The event is scheduled for April 15 to 17 at Tokyo Big Sight. At the exhibition, the company said it will run a live demonstration using three FLAMA units in a full-set configuration integrated with a refrigerator, a sauce machine and a conveyor. The demonstration is designed to automate the process from order to plating. Samples will also be offered. The FABEX showcase matters because it gives SoftBank Robotics a venue to demonstrate not only the robot itself but also a broader workflow built around kitchen automation. In the company's description, FLAMA is not limited to a single cooking task. Instead, it is positioned as part of a connected setup that combines automated cooking, recipe synchronization and menu development support. That framing also highlights the company's emphasis on repeatability. By linking hardware with software, SoftBank Robotics is presenting FLAMA as a tool that could help standardize output across locations while also supporting menu expansion. The company said this may create new sales opportunities for restaurant operators. SoftBank Robotics did not disclose pricing or sales targets in the announcement. It also did not provide details on overseas launch plans. The announcement was limited to the start of applications in Japan and the upcoming demonstration at FABEX 2026. SoftBank Robotics is headquartered in Tokyo's Minato ward. Its representative director, president and chief executive is Fumihide Tomizawa, who also serves as president of Gourmet X. 6. Why It Matters The launch brings together automation hardware and recipe-management software in a single commercial kitchen offering. Based on the company's description, FLAMA is aimed at helping restaurant operators stabilize cooking quality and address staffing constraints without major changes to existing kitchen layouts. © Copyright 2026 IBTimes JP.

SoftBank Robotics поддерживает Matternet для расширения доставки дронами по всей территории США - PCNEWS.RU URL: https://pcnews.ru/news/softbank_robotics_podderzivaet_matternet_dla_rassirenia_dostavki_dronami_po_vsej_territorii_ssa-1799413.html Description: Все компьютерные новости на PCNews.ru. Вся новая информация, о компьютерах и информационных технологиях. Синдикация новостей, статей, пресс-релизов со всех сайтов компьютерной (ИТ или IT) тематики. Content: Новое партнерство между Matternet и SoftBank Robotics America призвано вывести доставку дронами в повседневную логистику по всей территории Соединенных Штатов. Сотрудничество объединяет автономную платформу доставки дронами Matternet со способностью SoftBank Robotics America коммерциализировать и масштабировать новые технологии. Цель: ускорить внедрение в секторах, где скорость и надежность не просто желательны, а критически важны, начиная с здравоохранения и корпоративной логистики. На протяжении многих лет доставка «последней мили» находилась под давлением. Дефицит рабочей силы, растущие операционные расходы, городские пробки и ожидания потребителей по поводу практически мгновенной доставки создали систему, которую все труднее поддерживать. Доставка дронами, давно обсуждаемая как решение будущего, теперь позиционируется как практическое решение — способное обходить пробки, снижать зависимость от людей и уменьшать затраты при одновременном повышении уровня обслуживания. В рамках соглашения SoftBank Robotics America будет не просто продвигать технологию. Компания будет помогать в производстве, установке и обслуживании наземной инфраструктуры Matternet, фактически предлагая комплексную операционную поддержку корпоративным клиентам. Это ключевой элемент головоломки: превращение перспективных технологий доставки дронами в нечто, что реально работает в масштабе в реальных условиях. Matternet входит в это партнерство с солидным послужным списком в области регулирования. Компания остается первой компанией по доставке дронами, получившей как сертификацию типа FAA, так и сертификацию производства — две важные вехи, сигнализирующие не только о безопасности, но и о готовности к масштабированным операциям. Ее дроны уже совершили десятки тысяч полетов в городских и пригородных районах США и Европы, особенно в медицинских сетях, где быстрая транспортировка медицинских образцов может напрямую влиять на результаты лечения пациентов. Руководители компании рассматривают этот момент как поворотный. Генеральный директор Matternet Андреас Раптопулос описывает его как часть более широкого сдвига к «физическому ИИ» — системам, которые не просто обрабатывают информацию, но и перемещают товары в реальном мире. Тем временем руководители SoftBank Robotics America подчеркивают, что главная задача теперь — не сама технология, а ее последовательное и надежное внедрение в сложные логистические сети. Это различие имеет значение. В индустрии дронов нет недостатка в прототипах и пилотных программах. Чего не хватает, так это масштабируемой, воспроизводимой инфраструктуры. Это партнерство — попытка преодолеть этот разрыв, объединив проверенную технологию полетов с операционной мощью, необходимой для интеграции ее в больницы, цепочки поставок и системы коммерческой доставки.

Agility Robotics podnosi poprzeczkę. Zobacz, jak robot Digit dźwiga ciężary URL: https://www.chip.pl/2026/04/agility-robotics-podnosi-poprzeczke-zobacz-jak-robot-digit-dzwiga-ciezary Description: Dla człowieka 29 kg to nie jest jakiś wielki ciężar. Jasne, to zależy też od jednostki, ale większość z nas raczej nie miałaby problemu, gdyby musiała Content: Humanoid przeszedł rygorystyczny test siły, wykonując martwy ciąg z obciążeniem wynoszącym 65 funtów (około 29 kilogramów). To było prawdziwe wyzwanie konstrukcyjne i programistyczne. Siła siłowników to jedno, ale kluczową rolę odegrała tutaj zaawansowana koordynacja całego „ciała”, która pozwoliła maszynie dynamicznie reagować na zmiany środka ciężkości. Martwy ciąg został wybrany przez inżynierów z Oregonu nie bez powodu. To ćwiczenie, które w świecie biologii angażuje niemal każdą grupę mięśniową, a w świecie robotyki wymaga perfekcyjnej synchronizacji ramion, nóg i tułowia. Każdy centymetr ruchu w górę to tysiące kalkulacji w czasie rzeczywistym, mających na celu utrzymanie stabilności i zapobieżenie wywróceniu się maszyny. Sekret sukcesu Digita tkwi w procesie szkolenia opartym na zaawansowanych symulacjach. Zamiast ryzykować uszkodzenie drogiego sprzętu w laboratorium, inżynierowie najpierw trenują „mózg” robota w środowisku wirtualnym. Tam cyfrowy odpowiednik Digita tysiące razy podnosi wirtualne ciężary o różnej masie i rozkładzie środka ciężkości. Dzięki temu system uczy się, jak korygować postawę, jak mocno zacisnąć chwytaki i jak balansować torsem jeszcze zanim realny robot dotknie fizycznego obciążenia. Pozwala to na odejście od sztywnego, ręcznego programowania ruchów na rzecz elastycznych zasad, pozwalających maszynie „czuć” ciężar i reagować na niego w sposób naturalny. To maszyna zaprojektowana do ciężkiej, powtarzalnej pracy w warunkach przemysłowych. Najnowsza iteracja robota przynosi szereg usprawnień, które mają uczynić go niezastąpionym elementem nowoczesnej logistyki: W wizji Agility Robotics, Digit ma uzupełniać autonomiczne wózki transportowe (AMR). Podczas gdy wózki zajmują się przewożeniem towarów na duże odległości, Digit przejmuje najbardziej precyzyjne zadania: zdejmowanie paczek z półek, układanie ich w stosy czy ładowanie wózków. Całość jest monitorowana przez platformę chmurową Arc, która pozwala zarządzać całą flotą robotów z jednego miejsca, dbając o ich konserwację i koordynację zadań. Czytaj też: Robotyczne mrówki z Harvardu. Budują i burzą bez planu, polegając na instynkcie otoczenia Pokaz siły Digita to jasny sygnał, że Chińczycy nie mają monopolu na robienie wrażenia w branży robotyki. Agility Robotics położyło właśnie kolejną cegiełkę pod przyszłość, w której to roboty będą wykonywać ciężkie prace w fabrykach, pozwalając ludziom skupić się na rzeczach mniej obciążających ich ciała. Oczywiście jak to zwykle bywa, na razie mieliśmy do czynienia z demonstracją w ściśle kontrolowanych warunkach, więc minie jeszcze trochę czasu, zanim komercyjne maszyny staną się równie silne.

Si tratta del primo robot del suo genere con integrato il modello di intelligenza artificiale Gpt di OpenAI, lo stesso che alimenta ChatGpt. Grazie a questo, il robot può comprendere e analizzare le immagini, come quelle in tempo reale dell'ambiente circostante, ma anche rispondere e comunicare attraverso la voce, in linguaggio naturale. La novità principale del più recente modello Gpt-4o ("omnia") di OpenAI è proprio la capacità di generazione multimodale di contenuti, da testo a immagini e audio. Il Figure 02 si distingue dal suo predecessore per un design più elegante e funzionale, caratterizzato da una finitura nera opaca che sostituisce la cromatura e da un'integrazione completa dei cavi all'interno degli arti. Queste modifiche estetiche non sono solo un vezzo estetico, ma servono a rendere il robot più robusto e affidabile. Il cuore dell'umanoide è l'unità di calcolo e inferenza IA, potenziata del triplo rispetto alla versione precedente, consentendo al Figure 02 di eseguire compiti complessi in completa autonomia. Sei telecamere e un sofisticato modello di visione e linguaggio permettono al robot di percepire l'ambiente e di interagire con esso in modo intelligente. Un altro elemento distintivo del Figure 02 sono le mani, dotate di 16 gradi di libertà e capaci di sollevare pesi fino a 25 kg. Figure AI ha già iniziato a testare i suoi robot in ambienti industriali reali, come dimostrato dalla recente sperimentazione in uno stabilimento Bmw in South Carolina. Con un finanziamento di 675 milioni di dollari, l'azienda californiana è ben posizionata per competere con altri importanti attori del settore, come Agility Robotics, Apptronik, Tesla e Boston Dynamics.

Le robot Figure 03 s'occupe vraiment de la vaisselle URL: https://www.journaldugeek.com/2026/02/01/le-robot-figure-03-soccupe-de-la-vaisselle/ Description: Vider un lave-vaisselle, ranger les assiettes, et recommencer. Rien de spectaculaire, et pourtant : c’est précisément par là que Figure AI veut convaincre avec Figure 03, son robot humanoïde de troisième génération. Pensé pour s’attaquer aux corvées du quotidien, l'humanoïde mise sur une nouvelle IA maison, Helix 02, et sur une conception taillée pour la production en série. Content: Vider un lave-vaisselle, ranger les assiettes, et recommencer. Rien de spectaculaire, et pourtant : c’est précisément par là que Figure AI veut convaincre avec Figure 03, son robot humanoïde de troisième génération. Pensé pour s’attaquer aux corvées du quotidien, l’humanoïde mise sur une nouvelle IA maison, Helix 02, et sur une conception taillée pour la production en série. Faire la vaisselle n’a rien d’héroïque. Mais pour un robot, c’est un cauchemar : marcher, garder l’équilibre, attraper des objets fragiles, les déplacer sans les casser, tout en s’adaptant à un environnement qui change. C’est justement sur ce genre de scène très banale que s’est penché Figure AI pour son nouveau robot, Figure 03. Dans une démonstration vidéo, le robot traverse une cuisine, ouvre un lave-vaisselle, en sort assiettes et bols, les transporte jusqu’aux placards, les range, puis relance la machine. Le tout sans intervention humaine, ni script apparent. « Rien dans cette vidéo n’est opéré à distance [par un humain] », assure Brett Adcock, le patron de la start-up américaine. Figure 03 obéit à des commandes vocales simples : on lui demande quoi faire, il se débrouille pour le reste. Selon l’entreprise, il est capable de gérer escaliers, couloirs étroits et meubles déplacés sans aide extérieure. Sur le plan technique, le robot mesure 1,68 mètre, pèse 60 kg, peut porter jusqu’à 20 kg et se déplace à un peu plus d’un mètre par seconde. Son autonomie annoncée atteint cinq heures, avec une recharge sans fil via des plaques au sol sur lesquelles il peut venir se positionner seul. La grande nouveauté de Figure 03, c’est ce qui se passe dans sa tête. Le robot embarque Helix 02, une IA qui regroupe perception visuelle, toucher, équilibre, locomotion et manipulation dans un seul et même système. Là où beaucoup de robots enchaînent des modules distincts, Figure veut une coordination continue et plus fluide. Côté matériel, les caméras ont été revues : la fréquence des images est doublée, la latence fortement réduite, le champ de vision élargi. Des caméras ont aussi été intégrées directement dans les paumes des mains, ce qui est utile lorsque les bras masquent la vue principale, par exemple en attrapant un objet dans un placard. Les capteurs tactiles, développés en interne, seraient suffisamment précis pour détecter une pression équivalente au poids d’un trombone. Figure 03 serait le premier modèle réellement pensé pour être produit en série. Figure AI annonce une usine capable de sortir 12.000 robots par an dans un premier temps, avec un objectif de 100.000 unités à terme. Derrière la vaisselle bien rangée, beaucoup de questions sont en suspens. Aucun prix, aucune date de disponibilité, aucun test indépendant. Les vidéos sont certes impressionnantes, mais le grand saut vers les cuisines encombrées, les jouets qui traînent et les animaux imprévisibles reste à confirmer. 🟣 Pour ne manquer aucune news sur le Journal du Geek, suivez-nous sur Google et sur notre canal WhatsApp. Et si vous nous adorez, on a une newsletter tous les matins.

Credit: Sony AI. In an article published today in Nature, Sony AI introduce Ace, the first robot to beat elite human players in competitive physical sport. Although AI systems have shown advanced performance in digital domains and board games (such as complex video games, chess and Go), translating this to physical performance has remained a significant challenge. Such a feat requires perception, planning, and control to work in a high-speed domain on the scale of milliseconds. Table tennis is a demanding and complex real-world test for robotics, requiring rapid decision-making, precise physical execution, and continuous adaptation to an unpredictable opponent. The ball’s high speed, spin, and complex trajectories are central to competitive play. Director of Sony AI in Zürich, and project lead for Ace, Peter Dürr said “this research has shown that an autonomous robot can, in fact, win at a competitive sport, matching or exceeding the reaction time and decision making of humans in a physical space. Table tennis is a game of enormous complexity that requires split-second decisions as well as speed and power. This research breakthrough highlights the potential of physical AI agents to perform real-time interactive tasks, and represents a significant step toward creating robots with broader applications in fast, precise, and real-time human interactions.” A complete view of table tennis robot, Ace, including arm and track.

Ace was designed with three novel components: Members of the Ace research team and table tennis officials pose with the robot and its human opponent, Mayuka Taira, following an official match in December 2025. https://robohub.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Video-4_Sony-AI_Ace-Net-Bounce-Trajectory.mp4From Figure 4 in the Nature manuscript “Outplaying elite table tennis players with an autonomous robot” this film shows the robot making a split section change to its trajectory when the ball hits the net. Credit: Sony AI and Nature. For the results reported in the Nature publication, Ace was evaluated in matches against five elite players and two professional table tennis players, under International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) regulations. Ace achieved three victories in five matches against the elite players, along with competitive performances in the remaining matches. There were some interesting results from the evaluations, including the fact that Ace was able to return a wide range of spins, consistently achieving over 75% return rate up to spins of 450 rad/s. The control systems behind Ace also allowed for quick reaction to unusual shots, such as balls bouncing off the net. This behavior illustrates the ability of the approach to generalize to situations that are both rare and hard to model in simulation. Following submission of the Nature manuscript, the team conducted additional competitive matches in December 2025 and March 2026, beating professional players in the process. Compared with earlier evaluations, Ace demonstrated higher shot speeds, more aggressive placement closer to the table edge, and faster-paced rallies, reflecting continued performance gains under competitive conditions.

	AWS and Neura Robotics Team Up to Close Physical AI's …	https://www.trendingtopics.eu/aws-and-n…	1	Apr 26, 2026 08:00	active
AWS and Neura Robotics Team Up to Close Physical AI's Critical Data Gap URL: https://www.trendingtopics.eu/aws-and-neura-robotics-team-up-to-close-physical-ais-critical-data-gap/ Description: Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Neura Robotics announced a strategic partnership at Hannover Messe aimed at taking Physical AI from development into global Content: Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Neura Robotics announced a strategic partnership at Hannover Messe aimed at taking Physical AI from development into global deployment. AWS serves as the primary cloud provider for the German robotics company and hosts the Neuraverse platform — the infrastructure for AI training, real-time data processing, and shared intelligence across robot fleets. The collaboration connects three areas: cloud infrastructure, AI development, and real-world validation in Amazon fulfillment centers. The Neura Gym training environments will be integrated with Amazon SageMaker to accelerate AI training pipelines. In parallel, Neura is joining the AWS Partner Network and jointly opening up new go-to-market activities for cognitive robotics solutions. Amazon is simultaneously evaluating the deployment of Neura robotic systems in selected logistics centers. The partnership addresses one of the most critical problems in Physical AI: while large language models have access to trillions of data points from the internet, robots have only a fraction of that. The collaboration targets the central challenge of Physical AI directly: the lack of training data. Robots that are meant to perceive, think, and act in the real world require continuous learning loops between simulation and reality. Neura’s Intelligence Layer enables robots to adapt and reliably collaborate with humans. Combined with AWS’s global cloud infrastructure, this creates the full stack to scale Physical AI rapidly. The Neuraverse platform on AWS establishes the foundation to train, test, and continuously improve robotic intelligence across customer, partner, and internal use cases. As the world’s leading cloud provider, AWS brings not only computing power but a comprehensive portfolio of AI and machine learning services to the partnership. For Neura, this means faster, more efficient, and reproducible AI training across platforms and fleets. AWS was chosen for its unmatched compute availability and managed service networks that translate Physical AI from theory into practice. “Physical AI will only reach its full potential if intelligence can be trained, validated, and continuously improved in the real world. With AWS, we gain the infrastructure to scale the Neuraverse globally. With Amazon, we have the opportunity to bring Physical AI into one of the most advanced operational environments in the world. This is how Physical AI moves from vision to global reality – from Europe, together for the world,” said David Reger, CEO and founder of Neura Robotics. Jason Bennett, VP and Global Head of Startups and Venture Capital at AWS, adds: “Neura represents exactly the kind of transformative thinking required to unlock the full potential of Physical AI. Their open platform approach addresses the industry’s most critical challenge–the data gap–and we’re excited to support their mission with AWS’s scalable cloud infrastructure. As Neura scales production, AWS will provide the reliable, global foundation needed to power the Neuraverse and enable real-time intelligence sharing across their entire fleet.” The AWS partnership marks another milestone in Neura’s growing ecosystem of global technology partners — encompassing cloud infrastructure, AI, semiconductors, and industrial deployment. These include Kawasaki as well as industry giants such as Schaeffler, Bosch, and Qualcomm Technologies. The shared goal: to enable millions of cognitive robots by 2030.

Travail social : que peut changer l’arrivée des robots humanoïdes ? \| Didier Dubasque URL: https://dubasque.org/travail-social-que-peut-changer-larrivee-des-robots-humanoides/ Description: Pour comprendre ce qui attend le travail social avec les futurs robots humanoïdes, il faut partir d’une scène en apparence banale : un jeune ingénieur indien Content: Pour comprendre ce qui attend le travail social avec les futurs robots humanoïdes, il faut partir d’une scène en apparence banale : un jeune ingénieur indien qui plie des serviettes devant une caméra, des centaines de fois par jour. Dans la ville industrielle de Karur, au sud de l’Inde, Naveen Kumar fixe une GoPro sur son front, suit une chorégraphie minutieuse (prendre la serviette à droite, la secouer, la plier trois fois, la déposer à gauche) et recommence à la moindre erreur ou au moindre dépassement d’une minute. Ces gestes, corrigés, annotés, recombinés, servent à entraîner ce qu’on appelle désormais « l’IA physique » : des modèles capables de transformer des données et des mouvements en actions de robots humanoïdes dans notre monde matériel. Un article du Los Angeles Times montre comment des entreprises comme Objectways, Encord ou Micro1 produisent ces données. Il suffit de filmer des mouvements humains puis de les annoter, geste par geste, direction par direction, tout en tenant compte jusqu’à la couleur des objets sur la table. Des entrepôts en Europe de l’Est sont déjà prévus pour cette mission. C’est de là que des opérateurs guideront à distance des robots à l’autre bout du globe, joysticks à la main. Il s’agit dans un premier temps de leur apprendre à saisir une tasse ou plier un T-shirt. Derrière ces scènes très techniques se joue une question profondément sociale : dans quel monde du travail et dans quel paysage de l’action sociale ces robots humanoïdes vont nous faire entrer ? La dynamique actuelle reste d’abord industrielle. Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Nvidia, mais aussi une multitude de start-up moins connues, misent sur un marché des robots humanoïdes estimé à plusieurs dizaines de milliards de dollars dans la décennie à venir. La course est lancée pour produire des robots capables de manipuler des objets, se déplacer en milieu humain, exécuter une palette variée de tâches dans des entrepôts, des usines, des bureaux et à domicile. Pour l’instant, ces systèmes sont encore loin de l’autonomie totale. De nombreux robots présentés comme « humanoïdes » restent pilotés à distance. Aujourd’hui, ces capacités spectaculaires en mode téléopéré peuvent être impressionnantes. Mais l’intention des industriels est claire : accumuler des quantités massives de données de mouvement humain, de tentatives réussies et échouées, pour parvenir à des robots capables d’agir sans assistance humaine constante. Or, une fois cette étape franchie dans les chaînes logistiques, rien n’empêche ces mêmes technologies d’être testées ensuite dans le champ du soin, de l’accompagnement à domicile, de la gérontologie ou du handicap. Si les humanoïdes ne sont pas encore dans les services sociaux ou les foyers de l’aide sociale à l’enfance, des robots d’assistance sont déjà en phase de déploiement dans le secteur du care. Au Royaume-Uni, par exemple, une entreprise comme Cera annonce plusieurs milliers de visites hebdomadaires à domicile réalisées avec des robots d’assistance auprès de personnes âgées ou vulnérables. Ces dispositifs ne se présentent pas forcément sous la forme d’humanoïdes, mais ils collectent des données sur la santé et le bien-être, transmettent des alertes, et sont pensés comme des assistants domestiques capables de prendre en charge certains aspects du quotidien. Dans cette logique, les robots doivent permettre, selon leurs promoteurs, de réduire les coûts de prise en charge et de « libérer » du temps pour que les professionnels se concentrent sur les situations les plus complexes. C’est précisément là que les travailleurs sociaux, les auxiliaires de vie, les éducateurs spécialisés et les infirmiers ont un intérêt vital à être présents dans le débat : qui décide de ce qui est « simple » et de ce qui est « complexe » ? Qui détermine quelles interactions peuvent être confiées à des machines, et lesquelles nécessitent inconditionnellement une présence humaine ? Les chercheurs en robotique sociale alertent déjà sur un risque majeur : celui de substituer progressivement des robots aux relations humaines dans les contextes de vulnérabilité. Une revue récente sur les robots sociaux en soutien aux personnes âgées souligne que l’usage de ces technologies, lorsqu’il vise à pallier des manques de personnel, peut conduire à une forme de déshumanisation du care, en particulier dans les établissements sous-dotés. La tentation est grande, dans des systèmes déjà en tension, de compenser l’absence de professionnels par des dispositifs technologiques présentés comme « interactifs » ou « empathiques ». On voit bien comment, dans un contexte de pénurie de profesionnels et de difficultés de recrutement dans l’aide à domicile, les humanoïdes pourraient être avancés comme solution miracle. Il suffirait de les charger de tenir compagnie, de rappeler les rendez-vous, de surveiller les chutes, voire d’animer des activités. Or, les études sur les robots dits « sociaux » montrent que, s’ils peuvent soutenir certaines dimensions de l’accompagnement (rappels de traitement, mesure d’indicateurs, stimulation cognitive), ils ne peuvent ni comprendre la complexité d’un parcours de vie, ni assumer la responsabilité d’une décision dans une situation de danger ou de maltraitance. Le reportage du Los Angeles Times décrit un autre phénomène qui mérite un regard éthique : la capture massive de données sur les gestes quotidiens. Des entreprises paient des personnes pour porter des lunettes connectées qui enregistrent leurs actions ordinaires, dans leur cuisine, leur salon, leurs espaces de vie. Des accords passés avec de grands groupes immobiliers prévoient de filmer l’intérieur de milliers de logements pour collecter des données sur la façon dont les humains se déplacent et interagissent avec leur environnement domestique. Pour le travail social, cela pose au moins deux questions. D’abord, celle de la vie privée et du consentement : qui contrôle l’usage de ces images, leur conservation, leur combinaison avec d’autres données personnelles ? Ensuite, celle de la propriété du geste : à qui appartiennent ces mouvements, ces routines, ces façons singulières de plier du linge, de préparer un repas, de se lever d’un fauteuil quand on a mal aux genoux ? Quand ces gestes sont traduits en algorithmes et déployés à grande échelle dans des robots, l’expérience corporelle de personnes parfois précaires devient une ressource pour l’industrie, sans aucune reconnaissance sociale ni juridique. Car il faut bien comprendre que dans l’objectif d’aider les personnes fragiles ou handicapées, Il faudra d’abord capter leurs mouvements. Il s’agira d’intégrer ces données en vue de permettre des interactions qui soient adaptées. C’est assez difficile à croire, mais notre société va vers cela. Ce n’est pas pour demain en tout cas. Mais il est facile d’imaginer sans peine le discours qui ne manquera pas d’apparaître : pourquoi ne pas confier à un humanoïde les premiers accueils simples avec des questions standardisées pour orienter ou apporter une première réponse dans un contexte de files d’attente et de manque de personnels ? Des robots capables de poser des questions standardisées, de noter les réponses, de transmettre un résumé à un travailleur social humain. Des robots installés dans des halls de service social ou des établissements médico-sociaux pour « orienter » le public, filtrer les demandes, gérer les situations considérées comme administratives. Nous savons que personne n’est préparé ni prêt à accepter cela… Pour l’instant. Car qui imaginait il y a seulement dix ans que de nombreuses personnes se confieraient comme aujourd’hui auprès de chatbots boosté à l’intelligence artificielle ? Il a suffit de mettre sur le marché gratuitement des IA génératives pour que toute une population s’en empare pour leur confier certains aspects les plus intimes de leur vie. Les recherches en interaction homme-robot montrent déjà que des robots sociaux peuvent être utilisés pour collecter des informations sur la douleur, le handicap, l’état de santé, à travers des questionnaires standardisés, avec un certain niveau de satisfaction des usagers. Transposé à l’action sociale, cela pourrait conduire à externaliser à la machine la première interface avec les publics, au risque de dégrader la qualité de la relation d’accueil, d’invisibiliser des signaux faibles de détresse ou de danger, de renforcer la standardisation des réponses. Là encore, la question n’est pas uniquement technique : il s’agit de savoir ce que nous acceptons – ou refusons – de déléguer à un artefact dans la rencontre avec une personne en difficulté. Je crois que pour le moment la réponse est claire : c’est non. Nous considérons que cette perspective est éthiquement et humainement innaceptable. Mais qu’en sera-t-il demain ? En attendant rien ne vous empêche désormais d’acquérir un beau robot humanoïde chez ali-express.

	China’s Humanoid Robots Are Now as Fast as Usain Bolt	https://www.odditycentral.com/news/chin…	1	Apr 25, 2026 08:00	active
China’s Humanoid Robots Are Now as Fast as Usain Bolt URL: https://www.odditycentral.com/news/chinas-humanoid-robots-are-now-as-fast-as-usain-bolt.html Description: At least two Chinese robotics companies have announced that their humanoid robots can now run at speeds of up to 10 meters per second. Content: Usain Bolt is the fastest human being ever, but just like our jobs and probably our very existence, his incredible record is now under threat from AI-powered humanoid robots. Chinese robotics giant Unitree recently showcased footage of its H1 robot breaking the world record for the fastest 100-meter sprint by a humanoid robot, reaching 10 meters per second. During his phenomenal 2009 performance, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt reached a top speed of approximately 12.42 meters per second, but his average speed over the 100-meter race was 10.44 meters per second. Now, that incredible speed can be matched by humanoid robots! Unitree Robotics recently released new test footage of its H1 humanoid robot sprinting at speeds of up to 10.1 metres/s on a track, putting it in the same ballpark as the Jamaican sprinting legend. The company acknowledged that there may have been “minor measurement inaccuracies” during the test, but the performance of the H1 is still regarded as a major milestone in bipedal robot mobility. “10 m/s!! Unitree Breaks the World Record Again. With the physique of an ordinary person, running at a world champion’s speed,” Unitree captioned its viral video. Believe it or not, a couple of years ago, we wrote about Star1, the fastest bipedal humanoid robot at the time. It ran at a speed of 8 miles per hour. At its peak, the Unitree H1 reached a whopping 22 mph. It’s amazing how fast technology has improved. Interestingly, another Chinese firm, MirrorMe, showcased its own humanoid robot capable of running at incredible speeds. Named Bolt, it is also capable of reaching 10m/s, making it a direct competitor of the H1. For the world’s fastest quadruped robot, check out Mirror Me’s Black Panther. Get new posts by email.

	New Android development tool designed for robots, not humans • …	https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/20/…	1	Apr 25, 2026 00:00	active
New Android development tool designed for robots, not humans • The Register URL: https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/20/google_previews_android_cli/ Description: : Google previews Android CLI as agentic development continues to snowball Content: My Account The Register Home Page Google has introduced a new Android command-line interface built specifically for AI agents, claiming a 70 percent cut in token usage and three times reduction in task completion time. Using the Android CLI with Google Gemini to build and test an Android application (from official Google video) (click to enlarge) The primary Android development environment remains Android Studio, which has built-in support for AI agents, but the new CLI means that agents working outside Android Studio can more easily build Android applications. The CLI is not a replacement for Android Studio, and applications built with the CLI can also be opened in the IDE (integrated development environment). "You can start a prototype quickly with an agent using Android CLI and then open the project in Android Studio to fine-tune your UI," states the introductory post. The CLI itself is not powered by AI and is also suitable for use by scripts and other automation tools, or by developers who prefer working in a code editor rather than a full IDE. Installing the Android CLI, available for Apple silicon, AMD64 Linux and AMD64 Windows, enables the android command, with arguments for creating applications from templates, installing and managing the Android SDK and device emulators, and finding and listing Android skills, these being instruction files which assist agents to perform specific tasks. There is also a "describe" argument, which analyzes a project and generates descriptive metadata; and a "docs" argument, which searches and fetches documentation from the Android knowledge base. Android skills are available in a GitHub repository. Currently only 7 skills are listed but more are likely to follow. The terms of service reveal that Google collects Android CLI usage data by default, to "help improve the tool." Commands can be excluded from data collection by adding the --no-metric flag. The Android CLI including the data collection policy and available commands - click to enlarge Early reaction to the Android CLI is mixed, with some developers finding it too limited. "All it offers is some wrapper around the basic Android setup command that LLMs are already good at," said one. The CLI is likely to improve though, and more skills and templates will become available. Traditional IDEs are optimized for use by humans rather than AI agents, and Google is not the only vendor thinking about how AI will reshape development tools. Microsoft talked of a "fundamental shift in how we think about IDEs," in reference to a new agentic Visual Studio feature; and JetBrains has previewed Central as a system for agentic software development. One of the functions of an IDE is to make it easy to see and navigate all the code that forms a software project. Having AI agents work with the command line instead helps them to work more efficiently, but may further distance software development from the developer, as code is generated and compiled behind the scenes. ® Send us news Biting the hand that feeds IT Copyright.

Engineers have developed a humanoid robot that can perform a variety of expressive movements. Are you ready for a future where robots can dance, high-five and even hug humans? Well, that future might be closer than you think. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a humanoid robot that can perform a variety of expressive movements while maintaining its balance on different terrains. GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS - SIGN UP FOR KURT’S NEWSLETTER - THE CYBERGUY REPORT HERE Expressive humanoid robot (University of California San Diego) This isn't your average clunky robot. We're talking about a machine that can learn simple dance routines, wave, high-five and even give hugs, all while walking steadily on surfaces like gravel, dirt and inclined concrete paths. Expressive humanoid robot (University of California San Diego) CHINA UNVEILS ITS FIRST FULL-SIZE ELECTRIC RUNNING HUMANOID ROBOT The secret sauce behind this robot's impressive moves is its training. The engineers taught the robot using a diverse array of human body motions, including motion capture data and dance videos. They even trained the upper and lower body separately, allowing the robot to perform complex gestures with its arms while its legs focused on keeping it upright and moving. Talk about multitasking. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)? Expressive humanoid robot (University of California San Diego) ELECTRIC HUMANOID ROBOT POISED TO SHAKE UP THE JOB MARKET While a dancing robot might sound like a fun novelty, the implications of this technology are far-reaching. This humanoid robot's enhanced expressiveness and agility could improve human-robot interactions in various settings, including factory assembly lines, hospitals, homes and hazardous environments like laboratories or disaster sites. Expressive humanoid robot (University of California San Diego) Professor Xiaolong Wang, who led the research, envisions robots that are more approachable and less intimidating. "Through expressive and more human-like body motions, we aim to build trust and showcase the potential for robots to co-exist in harmony with humans," he said. It's a far cry from the menacing robots we often see in science fiction. Expressive humanoid robot (University of California San Diego) HOW 1X'S HUMANOID ROBOT IS PUTTING A STOP TO YOU HAVING TO FOLD LAUNDRY Currently, the humanoid robot's movements are directed by a human operator using a game controller, which dictates its speed, direction and specific motions. However, the research team envisions a future version equipped with a camera, enabling the robot to perform tasks and navigate terrain autonomously. The engineers are now focused on refining the robot's design to tackle more intricate and fine-grained tasks, aiming to expand the robot's range of motions and gestures. Expressive humanoid robot diagrams (University of California San Diego) This research was recently presented at the 2024 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference, in Delft, Netherlands. The presentation marks an important step forward in the field of robotics, potentially reshaping public perceptions of robots as friendly and collaborative rather than intimidating. Expressive humanoid robot (University of California San Diego) GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE The development of this expressive humanoid robot at UC San Diego marks an interesting step forward in robotics. By combining advanced artificial intelligence training techniques with a focus on human-like expressiveness, the team is paving the way for robots that can interact more naturally and comfortably with humans. As this technology continues to evolve, we might see robots becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives as helpful assistants capable of expressing themselves in ways we can intuitively understand. The future of human-robot interaction is looking more dynamic, expressive and perhaps even a bit more fun than we might have imagined.

A blue-eyed humanoid robot carefully opens a box and places a tool inside as a crowd of visitors watch the demonstration of "physical AI" skills at a major industrial trade fair in Germany. Made by German startup Agile Robots, it was among a host of robots showing off their moves at the event, underlining hopes of a coming AI-powered boost for Germany's long-struggling factories. Embedding the technology into industrial processes, where Europe already has deep expertise, is seen as a key route for the continent to catch up in the artificial intelligence race against the United States and China. Such AI-boosted robots make it possible to "actually solve industrial problems", Rory Sexton, chief executive of Agile Robots, told AFP in an interview. From next year, he added, the company plans to begin fitting out German factories, particularly those in the automotive industry, a crucial sector for Europe's biggest economy. Artificial intelligence used for real-world, hands-on tasks -- so-called physical AI -- was in focus this year in Hanover at the world's biggest industrial technology fair, which brings together more than 3,000 exhibitors. Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited the Agile Robots stand, where he talked to Zhaopeng Chen, the Chinese founder of the Munich-based startup. In a speech at the fair, Merz threw his support behind the drive to encourage German manufacturers, many of whom still rely on traditional techniques, to step up their use of AI. AI should be "embedded in the key sectors of our industry and especially" in small- and medium-sized firms, the backbone of the German economy, to create "industrial added value and high-quality jobs", he said. But, like in many other industries, German manufacturers are playing catch-up against China when it comes to making humanoid robots. Merz witnessed China's progress in the field first-hand during a visit to the country in February, when he saw displays of Chinese-made robots performing kung fu and boxing. The maker of those robots, Unitree, and other Chinese manufacturers were also out in force at the Hanover fair, as they have been in previous years. Still, Sexton of Agile Robots insisted that "we'll soon be able to do what (Unitree) are doing", and shrugged off such impressive public displays. Rather than dancing or martial arts, Agile Robots is focused on "value-added tasks for industry", such as electronic wiring in cars or phone assembly, he said. He emphasised that Germany offers an "ecosystem of suppliers" and "very strong expertise in mechanical engineering and automation", both crucial in the race for AI. Companies are also hopeful about the technological developments -- 58 percent of industrial firms surveyed by German digital business association Bitkom believe humanoid robots could help plug skilled labour shortages. The country also has deep pools of industrial data to draw on from its factories, according to Antonio Krueger, head of the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). "This is something we have at a level of quality far superior to the United States or China," he told AFP. But, critics say, the use of this data is still often too piecemeal and isolated, with no overarching strategy to bring it together cohesively. Not everyone in Hanover was convinced that AI was the solution to the woes of Germany manufacturers, who have long been struggling with issues from high energy costs to weak demand. Jochen Heinz, an executive from German factory machinery maker SW Machines, cautioned that AI can sometimes make mistakes by, for instance, giving misleading instructions for repairs or incorrectly claiming to have detected problems. "With AI, I also see the dark side of the force," he said.

Naver showcases AI robots across ‘lab-like’ headquarters - UPI.com URL: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2026/04/17/tech-company-naver-ai-robot/7561776463519/ Description: S. Korean tech company Naver is expanding its AI capabilities with robots operating throughout its headquarters, as the firm ramps up investment. Content: April 16 (Asia Today) -- South Korean tech company Naver is expanding its artificial intelligence capabilities with robots operating throughout its headquarters, as the firm ramps up investment in next-generation technologies. At the company's second headquarters in Seongnam, south of Seoul, robots are deployed across the building, which spans from a basement level to 28 above-ground floors. The facility has been described by the company as functioning like a "living laboratory" for AI and robotics. About 100 service robots, known internally as "Rookie," assist employees by delivering food, beverages and packages, as well as transporting documents. Workers can summon the robots through a mobile application and verify their identity upon arrival. The robots are designed to move autonomously throughout the entire building. They can pass through security gates, use elevators and navigate between floors without human assistance, a capability that sets them apart from robots typically confined to a single floor or designated area. Related Airlines in South Korea face record fuel surcharges South Korea to receive 27 million barrels of crude oil in June South Korea watchdog flags 'revolving door' in agencies "The ability for robots to use elevators and travel across the entire building is a distinctive feature," a company official said, adding that the machines are positioned for easy access and operate based on time-specific tasks. The robotics technology is being developed by Naver Labs, a research subsidiary focused on advancing automation systems. Inside the facility, various robots - including wheeled service units and bipedal machines - are being tested as part of efforts to build a broader robotics ecosystem. A key component of the system is "ARC Brain," a cloud-based platform that allows centralized control and coordination of multiple robots. The system is designed to improve efficiency by enabling simultaneous management of a fleet of machines. "Improving productivity by having robots perform tasks traditionally done by humans is essential," the official said. "That requires an integrated system capable of managing multiple robots at once." Beyond robotics, the company is also strengthening AI features in its core search business. It plans to introduce an "AI tab" following the rollout of its AI briefing service last year. Naver reported record results in 2025, with revenue reaching 12.35 trillion won ($8.2 billion) and operating profit of 2.21 trillion won ($1.47 billion). Market forecasts suggest the company will post another record this year, with revenue projected at 13.41 trillion won ($8.9 billion) and operating profit at 2.45 trillion won ($1.63 billion). -- Reported by Asia Today; translated by UPI © Asia Today.

Comparing human and robot running times may seem unfair; one social media user observed, “my car can outrun a cheetah too.” Still, the winning time is a massive improvement over last year’s race, when the fastest robot finished in two hours and 40 minutes. (Back then, I scoffed that this “would not be an impressive time for a human.”) The Associated Press reports that this year’s winner was built by Chinese smartphone maker Honor. It seems the winning robot wasn’t actually the fastest, as a different Honor robot finished in 48 minutes and 19 seconds. But that one was remote controlled — the 50:26 robot was autonomous and won due to weighted scoring. About 40% of participating robots competed autonomously, while the remaining 60% were remote controlled, according to Beijing’s E-Town tech hub. Not all of them did as well as Honor’s robots, with one robot falling at the starting line and another hitting a barrier. Topics StrictlyVC kicks off the year in SF.

Δ The robot, dubbed “Carri,” is one of several AI-powered solutions unveiled by Tan in a speech at GrabX 2026, the company’s annual product event. Grab is a super app that operates in Southeast Asia and offers food and grocery deliveries, ride-hailing services and digital financial services. Carri is designed to assist drivers, not replace them, Tan said during the speech. “Our drivers lose around 10% of their earning time looking for a restaurant in a mall or waiting for their customers to come down from office towers,” Tan said. “If this little fellow can help handle that ‘wait’ by finding the restaurant and passing the order to the driver, it allows our drivers to move to the next job more quickly.” PYMNTS reported in March that physical AI is drawing investor attention as venture funding flows toward companies building systems designed to operate in the physical world. On Wednesday (April 15) it was reported that Barclays said robots and drones could reduce food delivery costs to as little as $1 per order.

	Q&A: Clearpath Robotics’ Ryan Gariepy on killer robots and Canada’s …	https://betakit.com/qa-clearpath-roboti…	1	Apr 22, 2026 08:00	active
Q&A: Clearpath Robotics’ Ryan Gariepy on killer robots and Canada’s defence strategy \| BetaKit URL: https://betakit.com/qa-clearpath-robotics-ryan-gariepy-on-killer-robots-and-canadas-defence-strategy/ Description: The industry leader says Canada is leaving opportunity on the table in robotics. Content: Ryan Gariepy has been building Canadian robots for nearly two decades. He has also been an outspoken advocate for how they should and should not be used in a military context. Gariepy co-founded Kitchener-Waterloo’s Clearpath Robotics in 2009, co-leading the company as CTO until its acquisition by US industrial automation giant Rockwell Automation in 2023 at a reported price tag of about $600-million USD. These days, Gariepy works as Rockwell’s vice-president of robotics and chairs the Canadian Robotics Council, with a keen eye towards building up the country’s robot-making industry. BetaKit reporter Josh Scott sat down with Gariepy to unpack his thoughts on the recent killer robot discussions that have been brought to the fore by AI, how robotics can help Canada realize its new defence ambitions, and whether the country is doing enough to capture the opportunity he sees. The following interview has been edited for length and clarity. There are a lot of areas where we could be using robots a lot more in Canada, and with that, there could be a lot more robotics companies in Canada. Canada is very well-positioned to be a global leader in robotics. Something that Canada has going for us is this mix of a physical, industry-powered economy and a very educated and cosmopolitan populace. The vast majority of modern mines are going to be using robots to some degree. The same is true for modern manufacturing of any sort, whether it’s cars, whether it’s food, or whether it’s pharma. But they can always be used more. If you go to any modern plant in Canada, it’s heavily using robotics. But then as you go into the broader supply chain you’re less likely to run into robots there. Robots tend to be concentrated more in the large businesses, not because they can’t help in the small business but because they have more time, possibly more capital, and more ability to take some of that risk. We could ask the Ukrainians. We could also ask anyone who’s had to do a long posting in the Arctic. We have a lot more space, we have a lot fewer people, and our environment is a lot more hostile. That is the perfect place for robotics. As much as we are committed to increasing the size of our military, we’re a small country that does play on the global stage, which means that we will need force multipliers. It’s good to see how robotics has been identified as a sovereign capability. We may not be able to act as quickly as Ukraine did—which basically retooled their entire economy around building drones—but we can use our relationships with Ukraine, we can use our established manufacturing capabilities and our natural resources to modernize very quickly and modernize for the next conflict, as opposed to the past one. I support using robots in the military. Logistics, search and rescue, reconnaissance, or training, all of these areas where robots should probably be used. Even weaponized robots, to some degree, for military purposes, are things that I support. At the same time, it’s very important to have reasonable controls and reasonable certifications around how these systems are used. Ten years ago, there were a lot of conversations where we were saying, “AI is going to make mistakes, and it’s going to be confusing and different, and you’re not going to be able to predict it.” And everyone was like “no, no, that’s not the case.” And now we’re here. Anyone who’s got any sort of media awareness knows that AI makes mistakes, and if your AI is, say, misciting an article, and it’s going to make that mistake, are you sure you want that tool deciding on whether or not to use lethal force? We have a risk problem there. As much as we are committed to increasing the size of our military, we’re a small country that does play on the global stage, which means that we will need force multipliers. There’s also a morality and accountability problem. It’s very important that accountability still lies with a human at some point, and that in the end, you don’t leave people with an out to say, “Oh, it wasn’t me. It was the system that committed that war crime.” The military is the most experienced when it comes to the appropriate and proportional use of force. We really want to make sure that responsibility [and] accountability remains with the military as opposed to allowing people to push that off on some engineer who wrote some code 10 years ago. Over the years, I’ve been part of or peripheral to these discussions. People will use that as a political football. It’s most important to maintain a chain of accountability, certification, understanding, and testing of the technology itself. It’s difficult to understand what has been agreed to and not agreed to because you’ve also got OpenAI adding some noise to the conversation. But you don’t designate a company as a supply chain risk and then also say you’re effectively going to nationalize them. There are political factors at play. RELATED: Rockwell Automation completes acquisition of Clearpath Robotics and its OTTO Motors division On a personal note, I support saying that you should not use the specific kind of technology that Anthropic uses as a key component of autonomous weapons. I would certainly agree that using an LLM for targeting decisions is not the best way forward. I might also suspect that there are things that the Anthropic team knows that we don’t, which cause them to draw this line. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would decide, particularly these days, to pick a fight with the US Department of Defense if they didn’t need to. The thing I’m most excited about is society realizing that robots can help right now. We do not need to wait, and shouldn’t wait until there’s a humanoid knocking on your door to do your laundry. Robots can help, and they can help right now. They can help us be safer, more productive, and more comfortable. The thing that keeps me up is how much opportunity Canada is leaving on the table here. We have an opportunity to build a more secure country, and we’re not moving fast enough. Feature image courtesy Clearpath Robotics.

Social and emotional learning in artificial agents \| Scientific Reports URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-48309-5?error=cookies_not_supported&code=bc47f2d5-ac41-47e2-a615-3502d0c09282 Description: Social and emotional intelligence are fundamental to human cognition, yet current artificial agent frameworks typically treat these capabilities separately, limiting their ability to generate authentic social interactions. We present SELAgents (Social and Emotional Learning Agents), a novel framework that integrates emotional processing, theory of mind, and social learning within a unified reinforcement learning architecture. The framework combines a three-dimensional emotional state space (Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance model), Bayesian belief networks for mental state inference, and game-theoretic social strategy selection. Through systematic experiments with populations of 10 heterogeneous agents over 200 timesteps (30 independent runs), we demonstrate significant improvements over traditional reinforcement learning baselines: emotional intelligence scores increased by 49% (0.73 ± 0.08 vs 0.49 ± 0.11, $$p < 0.001$$), social coherence improved by 66% (0.68 vs 0.41, $$p < 0.001$$), and resource allocation efficiency reached 87% (vs 62% baseline, $$p < 0.001$$). Agents exhibited emergent behaviors including emotional contagion effects (correlation strength $$\gamma = 0.72$$ in dense networks) and stable coalition formation (4.3 ± 1.2 agents per coalition). Ablation studies revealed that theory of mind capabilities contributed most significantly to performance (31.2% degradation when removed), followed by emotional processing (28.7%) and social strategies (22.4%). These results suggest that integrating emotional processing with social learning mechanisms produces more sophisticated agent behaviors that exhibit patterns consistent with human social dynamics. We provide our complete implementation as open-source software to facilitate further research. This study assumes perfect observability of emotional states, representing an upper bound on achievable performance; extending the framework to partial observability settings remains an important direction for future work.

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone. Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive. Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate. Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.

The ethical terrain surrounding AI in medicine remains unstable despite its rapid adoption. We introduce the “Seven Deadly Sins of AI in Medicine”, a conceptual framework of recurring systemic failure modes: (i) Blind Trust, (ii) Overregulation, (iii) Dehumanization, (iv) Misaligned Optimization, (v) Overinforming and False Forecasting, (vi) Misapplied Statistics, and (vii) Self-Referential Evaluation. The framework was developed through systematic synthesis of scientific literature, clinical guidelines, and regulatory frameworks prior to any empirical data collection. To validate this pre-established framework, we conducted a global, cross-professional opinion poll of 914 stakeholders from 143 countries between July 2024 and March 2025. Results confirmed broad agreement with each pre-identified risk, revealing cross-cultural convergence in ethical concern alongside persistent divides in attitudes toward regulation—particularly between technologically advanced nations and emerging economies. We further propose an inversion of the framework into seven cardinal virtues for AI in medicine, offering actionable principles to guide responsible development and governance. The goal is to move beyond scattered ethical guidelines toward a unified diagnostic tool for trustworthy, human-centered medical AI. Content: Thank you for visiting nature.com.

The Cadence-Nvidia robotics deal URL: https://thenextweb.com/news/cadence-nvidia-robotics-physics-simulation-ai Description: Cadence and Nvidia expand their AI partnership to close the sim-to-real gap in robotics, fusing physics engines with Nvidia’s Isaac and Cosmos models. Content: The two companies announced an expanded partnership at a Cadence conference in Santa Clara on Wednesday. The goal: make robot training data more accurate so physical AI systems reach real-world deployment faster. Cadence Design Systems and Nvidia have announced an expanded partnership aimed at closing one of robotics’ most persistent problems: the gap between how robots learn inside computer simulations and how they actually perform in the physical world. The collaboration, unveiled by the CEOs of both companies at a Cadence conference in Santa Clara, California, integrates Cadence’s high-fidelity physics simulation engines with Nvidia’s AI training platforms, including its Isaac open-source simulation libraries and Cosmos open-world models. Cadence is best known as one of the dominant suppliers of software used to design advanced computing chips. But the company also makes physics engines that model how real-world materials interact, how metals deform, how fluids flow, how surfaces make contact. These simulations are used in aerospace, automotive, and semiconductor design, but are now being applied to a new problem: generating the training data that robot AI systems need to learn how to handle objects and navigate physical environments. Training robots in simulation is faster and cheaper than doing so in the real world, but the training data is only as useful as the physics engine is accurate. “The more accurate the generated training data is, the better the model will be,” Cadence CEO Anirudh Devgan said at the Santa Clara conference. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described the scope of the collaboration directly: “We’re working with you across the board on robotic systems.” The combined stack will link Cadence’s multiphysics simulation with Nvidia’s model training pipelines and deploy the results on Nvidia’s Jetson robotics and edge AI hardware. The output is a workflow that runs from world-model training through physics simulation to real-world deployment feedback, coordinated by AI agents throughout the lifecycle. The announcement is part of a broader pattern of Nvidia building deep simulation partnerships across industrial engineering. The company has separately announced partnerships with Siemens and Dassault Systèmes to build industrial AI platforms and virtual twins. For Cadence, the robotics application represents a significant expansion of its simulation software into the AI infrastructure layer at a moment when demand for accurate robot training data is growing rapidly.

Figure AI dévoile Helix 02, une IA qui rapproche le robot humanoïde de l’autonomie totale - KultureGeek URL: https://kulturegeek.fr/news-346271/figure-ai-devoile-helix-02-ia-rapproche-robot-humanoide-lautonomie-totale Description: La startup américaine Figure AI vient de franchir une étape majeure dans l’histoire de la robotique humanoïde. Avec son nouveau modèle d’intelligence Content: La startup américaine Figure AI vient de franchir une étape majeure dans l’histoire de la robotique humanoïde. Avec son nouveau modèle d’intelligence artificielle Helix 02, l’entreprise parvient à unifier locomotion, manipulation et équilibre au sein d’un même système neuronal, ouvrant ainsi la voie à des robots capables d’évoluer naturellement dans des environnements complexes et changeants. Jusqu’ici, les robots devaient souvent alterner entre déplacement et manipulation, au prix de mouvements saccadés et peu naturels. Helix 02 rompt avec cette approche fragmentée grâce à une architecture de type Vision-Language-Action pilotée par un réseau unique. Tous les capteurs — vision, toucher, perception du mouvement — sont ainsi connectés directement aux actionneurs, permettant au robot d’agir de manière fluide et sans interruption entre chaque action. Le système repose sur trois niveaux complémentaires. Le niveau supérieur gère la compréhension du langage et des objectifs, tandis qu’un second niveau traduit la perception en gestes coordonnés. La grande nouveauté réside dans un troisième niveau fonctionnant à très haute fréquence, chargé de l’équilibre et de la stabilité, entraîné à partir de milliers d’heures de données sur le mouvement humain. Résultat : une motricité plus naturelle et une adaptation en temps réel aux contraintes physiques. Pour illustrer ses avancées, Figure AI a montré son robot effectuer seul une tâche domestique complexe : vider et remplir un lave-vaisselle dans une cuisine. Pendant plusieurs minutes, la machine a enchaîné des dizaines d’actions sans interruption, manipulant des objets fragiles, se déplaçant avec précision et coordonnant ses deux bras dans un espace contraint. Une performance rarement atteinte jusqu’ici par un robot humanoïde autonome. Helix 02 ouvre également la porte à des manipulations fines, comme dévisser un bouchon, extraire un comprimé ou trier de petits composants métalliques. En combinant vision rapprochée, capteurs tactiles et contrôle corporel global, Figure AI pose les bases d’une autonomie polyvalente, capable de s’adapter aux situations imprévues du monde réel. Si cette technologie reste pour l’instant cantonnée au laboratoire, elle marque aussi un tournant décisif dans la quête du robot humanoïde utile au quotidien. Helix 02 esquisse ainsi un futur où assistance domestique, logistique et industrie pourraient s’appuyer sur des machines réellement capables d’interagir avec leur environnement de manière fluide et intelligente.

A Figure tem estado a trabalhar num sistema AI que permita aos robots humanóides fazer as tarefas que, para os humanos são “simples” mas para os robots são incrivelmente complexas. Agora, podemos ver o resultado desse trabalho com o modelo Helix 02 a permitir que um robot possa, de forma totalmente autónoma, tirar a loiça da máquina e arrumá-la nos sítios correctos, abrindo e fechando portas e gavetas, e também a colocar a loiça suja na máquina. Embora com ainda alguma lentidão face aos humanos, o robot demonstra movimentos surpreendentemente graciosos e fluidos, e sem as demoras de sistemas demonstrados no passado. Conta até com alguns pontos de destaque, como aos 2:50, quando após ter aberto uma gaveta, o robot faz um “toque de anca” para a fechar sem usar as mãos, ou aos 3:20, quando para fechar a porta da máquina de lavar começa por levantá-la com o pé – tal como a maioria dos humanos fará.

Компания временно приостановила производство гуманоидных роботов Optimus из-за проблем с конструкцией рук и предплечий. Компания временно приостановила производство гуманоидных роботов Optimus из-за проблем с конструкцией рук и предплечий. Компания временно приостановила производство гуманоидных роботов Optimus из-за проблем с конструкцией рук и предплечий. По данным The Information, инженеры компании не смогли добиться необходимой ловкости движений, близкой к человеческой. Именно эта часть конструкции оказалась наиболее сложной для реализации. По данным источников, на предприятиях Tesla уже накопились десятки корпусов роботов без рук и предплечий, а сроки завершения их сборки остаются неопределенными. Первоначально Илон Маск планировал выпустить 5000 единиц Optimus до конца 2025 года. Однако из-за выявленных проблем компания пересмотрела цели: теперь речь идет максимум о 2000 роботах, и даже этот показатель может быть отложен. Маск признал наличие трудностей, отметив, что создание рук с человеческой степенью ловкости стало самым сложным этапом проекта. Сроки возобновления производства он не назвал, но подчеркнул, что проект будет продолжен. Несмотря на задержки, Tesla продолжает показывать развитие технологии. Недавно Маск опубликовал видео, на котором робот Optimus выполняет приемы кунг-фу, а также ролик, где он повторяет движения актера Джареда Лето на премьере фильма Tron: Ares. Tried to start a fight at the Tron: Ares premiere pic.twitter.com/TvWCOaXIlN Робот Optimus был впервые представлен в 2021 году как универсальный гуманоид, способный выполнять рутинные и опасные для человека задачи. Маск заявлял, что в будущем производство таких машин может стать для Tesla даже более прибыльным направлением, чем электромобили. Как помочь, если вы в Польше Хотите сообщить важную новость?

Совершенно новый Tesla Optimus третьего поколения приступает к работе - PCNEWS.RU URL: https://pcnews.ru/news/soversenno_novyj_tesla_optimus_tretego_pokolenia_pristupaet_k_rabote-1793955.html Description: Все компьютерные новости на PCNews.ru. Вся новая информация, о компьютерах и информационных технологиях. Синдикация новостей, статей, пресс-релизов со всех сайтов компьютерной (ИТ или IT) тематики. Content: Робот Tesla Optimus третьего поколения приступает к работе, о чем говорится на официальной страничке разработчиков. Заведение на бульваре Санта-Моника открылось летом 2025 года и быстро привлекло внимание благодаря необычному формату: ретро-футуристическое автокафе с зарядной станцией и гуманоидным роботом, раздающим попкорн. Версия второго поколения, получившая неофициальное прозвище Poptimus, стала одной из главных «фишек» площадки. Однако к декабрю 2025 года робот исчез — это было частью подготовки к более серьёзному обновлению. Ранее Илон Маск подтвердил, что в 2026 году Optimus вернётся уже в новом качестве. Вместо демонстрационных функций он сможет выполнять роль курьера, доставляя заказы прямо к автомобилям на станциях Supercharger. Ключевым обновлением стал переход к третьему поколению. Новый Optimus получил значительно улучшенную механику рук — около 50 приводов и 22 степени свободы на каждую, а также мощную вычислительную платформу с чипом Tesla AI5 и голосовым управлением на базе Grok. Маск уже назвал его самым продвинутым роботом в мире. Параллельно компания перестраивает производство: линии во Фримонте планируют переоборудовать под выпуск Optimus, что подчёркивает смену приоритетов Tesla в сторону робототехники. © iXBT Images (1):

Tesla Optimus Talk \| NextBigFuture.com URL: https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2026/04/tesla-optimus-talk.html Description: Konstantinos Laskaris, Tesla Lead Director of Optimus, at the ETH Robotics Club INSPIRE Talk in Switzerland. Konstantinos presented Optimus 2.5 and the work Content: Home » Artificial intelligence » Tesla Optimus Talk Konstantinos Laskaris, Tesla Lead Director of Optimus, at the ETH Robotics Club INSPIRE Talk in Switzerland. Konstantinos presented Optimus 2.5 and the work behind it and its predecessors. Here are some highlights from the talk. The sim-to-real gap is propaganda. “It’s not a gap if you haven’t tried to model your robot properly.” Hardware matters more than most people think. If you can’t replicate human motion on hardware, no amount of real-world data will save you. Tendon-driven hands are the way. Anything with motors physically cannot reproduce human muscle force density. Not a preference: a physics constraint. On physics engines: don’t constrain yourself to what exists. His challenge to the community: do you even understand how physics works? Go build your own simulation. Reproduce the fidelity YOU need. Optimus V3 is coming soon. It won’t be sold to the public. It won’t go to factories. First customer? Tesla itself. They’re building a Bot Academy. A secure environment where robots learn tasks from scratch. Example: hold and operate a drill. Optimus V3 is coming soon. It won’t be sold to the public. It won’t go to factories. First customer? Tesla itself. They’re building a “Bot Academy”: a secure environment where robots learn tasks from scratch. Example: hold and operate a drill. — odesha (@oskrt_dvs) April 3, 2026 Brian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per month.

A frequent speaker at corporations, he has been a TEDx speaker, a Singularity University speaker and guest at numerous interviews for radio and podcasts. He is open to public speaking and advising engagements. “It won’t be sold to the public. It won’t go to factories.” The first part seems obvious and what they’ve said for a long time. The second is just confusing. What’s the point in mass producing them if they don’t use them throughout the Musk enterprises and with suppliers? They don’t need tens of thousands of them for a bot academy. Maybe this part is just about the first few months of slow production. By “factories” he was talking about selling them commercially, not themselves. Musk will using them in his factories, doing real work, replacing real people, this year. I didn’t know they wont even sell V3. I knew the 1st year or so would go to Tesla themselves, and perhaps some to other Musk ventures. But I thought at some point next year, anyone could buy one. I guess customers will have to wait for V4, which will have a AI5 chip, and I’d bet begin to be built late next year. Certainly feels like they continue to fall behind, But I think that’s because Elon revealed WAY too much during his retarded AI day, and everyone from China was drooling with pen & paper in hand. So now he keeps it closer to the chest. But he just needs to show things off better, focus on capabilities, not hardware or software. “Tendon-driven hands are the way. Anything with motors physically cannot reproduce human muscle force density. Not a preference: a physics constraint.” Yes, some sort of variable torsion device that will allow the delicate grasping of a raw egg without breakage and yet also will allow heavy work such as tightening up bolts while holding heavy axle hubs, etc….. it gets around the difficulty of trying to match the dexterity of 6 million years of hominin/hominid evolution by using a different approach. https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/overview-of-hominin-evolution-89010983 AI Robotics will advance as more practical tests are performed in “real world” situations. I can see this technology making great strides into automobile and “white goods” manufacturing, possibly into ship welding/construction as well. Comments are closed. Images (1):

	ELROB 2026: Military robotics put to the test	https://idw-online.de/de/news869152	1	Apr 17, 2026 00:00	active
ELROB 2026: Military robotics put to the test URL: https://idw-online.de/de/news869152 Content: Nachrichten, Termine, Experten d Instanz: Teilen Teilen: 14.04.2026 16:03 Positions were in high demand: 20 international teams – more than ever before – will face one of the world’s most demanding performance tests for military robotics at the European Land Robot Trial (ELROB) in mid-June. The impressive venue for this four-day major event is the Thun military training area, which the Swiss Federal Office for Defense Procurement (armasuisse) is providing as host in collaboration with the Swiss Army. Here, the participants will compete with their robotic systems in several disciplines, whose realistic scenarios have been developed by a team led by Dr Frank E. Schneider from the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE. “This year’s field of participants is particularly exciting,” says Schneider, looking at the registration list. “An interesting mix of established teams we already know from previous events and those taking part in ELROB for the very first time.” Among the latter, the deputy head of the FKIE’s “Cognitive Mobile Systems” (CMS) department cites Team Łukasiewicz-PIAP from Poland and the two German teams GAP and FENRIDE. Further participants are travelling to Thun from the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland, whilst two teams are coming to ELROB this year specifically from Canada. Highly realistic scenarios In the main disciplines of Reconnaissance, Transport (Mule) and Search & Rescue (SAR), the teams will put their Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) through their paces over four days. Common to all scenarios is the high level of realism and the close alignment with the current needs of the armed forces. It is no coincidence that, against this backdrop, several teams have shown an interest in the "Mule" discipline, for example, which is "closely aligned with procurement", as Schneider explains: "The transport of personnel and equipment is an essential component of military operations. In hostile environments, however, this is a dangerous and demanding task, which is why UGVs are increasingly being deployed here." In Thun, their practical suitability can be tested and demonstrated to the fullest extent. The military training area is not only the oldest but, at around 6.5 square kilometres, also the largest of its kind in Switzerland. In its centre, a large tent city is being set up for the participants, where they can program, tinker with and fine-tune their robots and drones around the clock. For Schneider, who has been organising ELROB every two years with his team since 2006, the venue is familiar. Thanks to a trilateral R&D cooperation between Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the host country for the competition rotates every two years: “Thun was already the venue in 2012 and we are delighted to be back here now,” says Schneider. For ELROB host Dr Thomas Rothacher, Head of armasuisse Science and Technology and Deputy Chief of Defence, cross-border cooperation enables “a valuable exchange of experience and knowledge.” At the same time, the event offers “a unique opportunity to test robotics technologies in military operations and thereby strengthen security-related robotics research between industry, universities and national and international partners,” says Rothacher. Constantly redesigned scenarios The team is not revealing any details about the scenarios. Suffice it to say that this time there is no urban environment; there are no buildings or other structures to explore. The tasks require different approaches and solutions, which will, incidentally, be assessed by an international jury led by the renowned robotics expert Prof. Dr Henrik I. Christensen. “The demands on robotics are increasing rapidly,” says ELROB initiator Schneider. “And we are responding to this by constantly redesigned scenarios.” He is particularly pleased with the diverse field of participants from research, universities and industry: “This shows once again that ELROB more than lives up to its claim of bringing users, researchers and clients together.” European Land Robot Trial 15 to 19 June 2026 Thun Military Base, Switzerland Dr Frank E.

System hits 310 units/hour, 19–20 sec cycles, 99 percent success; integrated in 36 hours, producing about 3,000 units per shift. Chinese robotics player Agibot has revealed that it has deployed its humanoid robots in a live manufacturing facility. The rollout of Agibot G2 robots at the Shagahai-based electronics manufacturer Longreacher Technology’s facility marks a step toward real-world industrial adoption of embodied AI systems. The Agibot G2 units are now operating at multimedia-integrated testing stations, where they handle precise loading and unloading tasks. According to Agibot, the deployment highlights the growing role of humanoid robots in manufacturing environments, demonstrating their ability to perform repetitive, high-accuracy operations alongside existing production workflows. In March, Agibot announced the rollout of its 10,000th humanoid robot, marking a major milestone in embodied AI industrialization. At Longcheer Technology’s production facilities, Agibot G2 robots are currently deployed at its multimedia-integrated testing stations. The robots are responsible for executing precision loading and unloading tasks. These operations require a high degree of accuracy, consistency, and coordination, demonstrating the maturity of Agibot’s hardware and software systems in handling repetitive industrial processes. The testing stations combine multiple functional modules, requiring seamless interaction between perception, motion planning, and manipulation. According to Agibot, G2 robots leverage multi-modal sensing capabilities, including visual perception and spatial awareness, to accurately identify objects and execute task sequences. Their ability to operate continuously within structured production workflows highlights their readiness for industrial adoption. According to Agibot, the deployment is broader in strategy, building a full-stack ecosystem for embodied intelligence. The company integrates robot hardware, AI models, and large-scale data infrastructure to enable continuous learning and improvement. Through this approach, robots are not limited to predefined instructions but can adapt to variations in tasks and environments over time. “This project shows that embodied AI is no longer experimental. It is a practical, production‑ready capability that can operate reliably in real industrial environments and deliver measurable economic value,” said Maoqing Yao, Partner, Senior Vice President, and President of the Embodied Business Unit at Agibot, in a statement. The system is capable of operating in high-precision manufacturing tasks, navigating complex factory layouts, placing devices into testing fixtures with millimeter-level accuracy, and sorting finished or defective units accordingly. Unlike conventional industrial automation, the system requires no custom tooling and supports mixed-model production, enabling faster changeovers and significantly reducing downtime. Agibot claims the deployment has demonstrated strong, quantifiable performance across key industrial metrics, including throughput of up to 310 units per hour, cycle times of approximately 19–20 seconds per operation, and a success rate exceeding 99 percent in continuous operation. Production line integration was completed within 36 hours, with output reaching approximately 3,000 units per shift. The system supports 24/7 autonomous operation with minimal human intervention, achieving over 140 hours of cumulative continuous operation while maintaining downtime loss below 4 percent. A single Agibot G2 robot can replace multiple manual processes while maintaining consistent output, enabling manufacturers to balance efficiency, cost, and flexibility in a unified system. The system’s performance is driven by Agibot’s embodied AI approach, allowing robots to be deployed quickly, adapt to changing production conditions, and operate reliably in high-speed manufacturing environments. By combining simulation-based validation, reinforcement learning, and on-device intelligence, the system minimizes setup time, reduces the need for manual adjustments, and ensures stable performance in continuous production. With multiple units already in operation, Agibot plans to expand deployment to 100 robots by Q3 2026, accelerating adoption across industries including automotive, semiconductors, and energy. Experts suggest the developments reflect a broader shift in manufacturing from rigid, hardware-defined automation toward flexible, software-driven intelligent systems powered by embodied AI.
