Boston Dynamics Atlas just entered its electric era. 🤖 Boston Dynamics introduced the fully electric version of Atlas, replacing the hydraulic platform and marking the beginning of its commercial humanoid journey. The new Atlas was designed to be stronger, more agile and more dexterous, with the long-term goal of performing useful work in real industrial environments. And this was only the beginning. Atlas has since evolved into an industrial humanoid designed for autonomous material handling and real-world factory applications. How far do you think Atlas can go in industrial automation? 👀…

Meet Tiangong 3.0, the full-size humanoid from Beijing’s X-Humanoid. It stands 1.69 m tall, weighs 62 kg and has 43 degrees of freedom. Its high torque joints are built for explosive whole-body motion, and Beijing sources specifically list side flips among the movements Tiangong 3.0 can perform. Watch the landing closely. It launches, rotates its entire body in the air, catches the ground with both feet and immediately recovers its balance. That requires serious coordination across the hips, knees, ankles and torso. X-Humanoid says Tiangong 3.0 was designed for high-dynamic whole-body…

Sam Altman just confirmed something OpenAI had never said this clearly before. OpenAI will definitely build humanoid robots. In a new interview with Alex Heath, Altman said the humanoid form makes sense because the physical world was designed around humans. Doors, stairs, tools, vehicles and workplaces already fit our body shape. But the body is not the main challenge. The brain is. OpenAI is already hiring across the hardware stack, including custom actuators, motors, transmissions, sensors, firmware, electronics, thermal systems, simulation and reinforcement learning.

On the Sources podcast, Sam Altman confirmed that OpenAI “will definitely do a humanoid,” putting an end to speculation over whether its in-house hardware division would stick strictly to specialized data center machines. His rationale? "The world is very much designed for people." From opening doors and typing on keyboards to driving machinery, operating in human spaces demands human-like kinematics. The confirmation follows a dramatic few months in the robotics ecosystem: • From Sim to…

X Square Robot has introduced TwinDEX: a co-designed pair of three-finger, 9-DoF dexterous hands, one wearable for data collection, one matched robot end effector for deployment. The wearable and the robot hand share the same kinematics, geometry, materials, look, and sensors, so human demos map straight to the robot without retargeting. Human data collection improves throughput 5.3x compared to teleoperation, and a policy can be trained with a few hundred episodes without any robot data.

Sam Altman is saying that OpenAI plans to build a humanoid robot, along with other designs because the world around us was built for humans (Save this). Doors, stairs, computers, tools, kitchens, vehicles, and factory equipment are all designed around the human body, a robot with a similar shape could therefore perform useful tasks without requiring people to redesign the entire world. His bigger vision is that one day, everyone could have a personal robot that handles the jobs they do not want to do like cleaning, carrying things, operating equipment, helping elderly people, or completing…

THIS ISN’T A ROBOT LEARNING TO DANCE. IT’S A ROBOT LEARNING HOW TO CONTROL ITS ENTIRE BODY. Walk. Run. Crawl. Roll. Handstand. Cartwheel. Then get back up and keep moving. Boston Dynamics trained Atlas using reinforcement learning, with human motion capture and animation as references. The flashy part is the acrobatics. That’s not the important part. The important part is everything happening between them. Accelerate. Decelerate. Shift balance. Drop to the floor. Recover from an awkward position. Reorient the body. Keep moving. Humans solve these problems without thinking. For a humanoid,…

It twists, bends, lifts, carries, recovers from falls, manipulates objects, and moves with a fluidity that looks almost unnatural. Unlike humans, some of its joints can rotate in ways our bodies simply can't. A few years ago, robot videos looked impressive. Now they look like a warning. 🚨 The craziest part?

4/11 – What is the key question: ❌ Which humanoid robot will win? Tesla? Unitree? Figure? Someone else? ➡️What does EVERY humanoid robot need? Because the winner may change. The supply chain doesn't. Actuators can potentially represent ~40–60% of a humanoid's BOM. And inside the actuator? Gearbox Motor Driver Bearings Sensors Go one level deeper. The gearbox itself can represent roughly 30–50% of actuator cost. So the investment trail starts looking like: Robot → Actuator → Gearbox Follow the value.

This is what’s hiding inside the next generation of robotic hands. Compact frameless motors can be integrated directly into dexterous robotic hands to drive finger and joint movement while keeping the mechanism extremely compact. For humanoid robots, hand performance will depend heavily on this kind of engineering high torque, precise control and more actuators packed into very limited space. Walking gets most of the attention. But dexterous hands may decide how useful humanoid robots actually become.

Brittle crackers and soft grapes provide a simple way to put those capabilities to the test. Handling objects like these requires precise force control and continuous adjustment.

For months our napkins were folded well, but the bins were disorganized and ruined output quality drastically. The robot was placing each napkin wherever it happened to land, so staff had to square up the stacks before carrying them out. Ten positions in one small bin look nearly identical to the robot.

Let’s dive into the facts. The small details we obsessed about and actually closed the gaps. To keep one Din Tai Fung dining room supplied, a robot has to produce 1,500 table-ready napkins in a day’s shift. A year ago, ours managed 480 with Dyna-1. Today with Dyna-2, we clear well over 1,500 napkins, 2.7x faster and at higher quality. None of it came from one-off solutions engineering. And the performance gains didn’t come from the pre-training alone, but the extensive systems around it.

This is Hyundai putting a humanoid robot into the commercial infrastructure it spent 60 years building to sell cars. The roadmap: 2026: RMAC (Robot Metaplant Application Center) in…

Scaling production is the correct framing. But the binding constraint is not the assembly line. It is the actuator supply chain. Each humanoid needs 20 to 30 precision reducers. Nabtesco and Harmonic Drive control 75% of that market globally. At 100,000 units per year you are competing with every industrial robot OEM on Earth for the same components.

The supply chain concentration in precision reducers is the part most people underestimate. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco built their positions over decades of iteration on gear tooth profiles, lubrication, and thermal management at the micron level. Scaling humanoid production to millions of units per year requires scaling reducer production by orders of magnitude. That is not a capital problem. It is a precision manufacturing knowledge problem.

The picks and shovels framing is right but most people name the wrong shovels. NVIDIA gets the attention. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco in Japan control roughly 75% of global precision reducers. Every humanoid joint, every collaborative robot wrist, runs through the same two factories. Fund ten humanoid companies. If they all need the same reducers, the production ceiling is set by component throughput in Tsu and Hotaka, not by venture capital.

Figure 03 can now climb a ladder fully autonomously. No remote operator. No scripted sequence. The robot has to see the ladder, coordinate its hands and feet, continuously shift its weight, and maintain balance as it moves upward. That makes this much harder than simply walking or climbing stairs: every rung becomes a separate contact point the robot has to perceive and reach correctly. Figure is building humanoids around a simple idea: Instead of redesigning the world for robots, teach robots to navigate a world already designed for humans.

Post Log in Sign up Post - Theo Gage @realtheogg 3 Billion Humanoid Robots Could Exist. The Question Nobody Is Asking Is Where They’ll Live. Bank of America thinks the world will have 3 billion humanoid robots by 2060 Read that again. Not 3 million. Not 30 million. Three billion — more than the roughly 1.5 billion cars currently on Earth, on a per-capita basis. The obvious reaction: why would humanity ever need that many? Here's why the forecast isn't as crazy as it sounds. BofA's analysts don't frame this as science fiction. They frame it as a demographics problem — aging populations in…

5 Physical AI infrastructure platforms shaping robotics in 2026 - The Robot Report
Facebook X LinkedIn Reddit Pinterest Share From accelerated computing and simulation to data operations, open-source tooling, validation engineering, and continuous learning, these five platforms represent distinct control points in the emerging physical AI stack. For most of the modern AI boom, infrastructure had a single center of gravity: compute. Models grew larger, training runs consumed more GPUs, and the industry organized itself around accelerators, cloud clusters, training frameworks, and developer software. That stack was sufficient when AI’s outputs were text, images, video, or…

Boston Dynamics Atlas just entered its electric era. 🤖 Boston Dynamics introduced the fully electric version of Atlas, replacing the hydraulic platform and marking the beginning of its commercial humanoid journey. The new Atlas was designed to be stronger, more agile and more dexterous, with the long-term goal of performing useful work in real industrial environments. And this was only the beginning. Atlas has since evolved into an industrial humanoid designed for autonomous material handling and real-world factory applications. How far do you think Atlas can go in industrial automation? 👀…

The hardest problem in physical AI may be the magnet, not the model

Europe has a 2030 cap on single country supply under the Critical Raw Materials Act, and one company, Schaeffler, building the actuators at volume. The hardest problem in physical AI is not the AI.

Aug 28, 2026•4:09pm America/New\York Inside Agility's bet on factory-first humanoids Humanoid robots continue to capture the imagination of humans, and the recent AI revolution has only accelerated the momentum. But despite demonstrations of robotics tidying up homes or awkwardly dancing on stages, there may be a better place to start: Factory floors, Pras Velagapudi, CTO of Agility Robotics, told The Deep View. With a massive labor shortage and many repetitive, dangerous tasks, manufacturing may be the perfect proving ground for humanoid robots. It's why Agility has focused on this niche,…

Demos are easy. Deployment is hard. Lumos put MOS 2 on Mitsubishi Electric's PLC production lines. Cart carrying, quality inspection, box handling, screwdriving and coordination across multiple robots. The robot is built for industrial scenarios that need wheeled mobility and up to 50kg of dual-arm payload.

Robots Doing Stuff #64 | Delicate Object Handling Will you find crackers and grapes on the production floor? Probably not. But what you will find are tasks that require the manipulation of delicate, irregular, and easily damaged objects. Brittle crackers and soft grapes provide a simple way to put those capabilities to the test. Handling objects like these requires precise force control and continuous adjustment. The hand must maintain a secure grasp without crushing, cracking, or dropping each object as it transfers it to the plate. It makes for a great demo… and a great snack. #Dexterity…

Then we realized there is more. A fully folded napkin is not a finished job. It has to land in a bin, stacked, ready for staff to carry out so they can serve their guests. For months our napkins were folded well, but the bins were disorganized and ruined output quality drastically. The robot was placing each napkin wherever it happened to land, so staff had to square up the stacks before carrying them out. Ten positions in one small bin look nearly identical to the robot. Nothing in the scene tells it what comes next, only the instruction does. Precise language following in Dyna-2 is what…

Let’s dive into the facts. The small details we obsessed about and actually closed the gaps. To keep one Din Tai Fung dining room supplied, a robot has to produce 1,500 table-ready napkins in a day’s shift. A year ago, ours managed 480 with Dyna-1. Today with Dyna-2, we clear well over 1,500 napkins, 2.7x faster and at higher quality. None of it came from one-off solutions engineering. And the performance gains didn’t come from the pre-training alone, but the extensive systems around it.

The supply chain concentration in precision reducers is the part most people underestimate. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco built their positions over decades of iteration on gear tooth profiles, lubrication, and thermal management at the micron level. Scaling humanoid production to millions of units per year requires scaling reducer production by orders of magnitude. That is not a capital problem. It is a precision manufacturing knowledge problem.

The picks and shovels framing is right but most people name the wrong shovels. NVIDIA gets the attention. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco in Japan control roughly 75% of global precision reducers. Every humanoid joint, every collaborative robot wrist, runs through the same two factories. Fund ten humanoid companies. If they all need the same reducers, the production ceiling is set by component throughput in Tsu and Hotaka, not by venture capital.

Figure 03 can now climb a ladder fully autonomously. No remote operator. No scripted sequence. The robot has to see the ladder, coordinate its hands and feet, continuously shift its weight, and maintain balance as it moves upward. That makes this much harder than simply walking or climbing stairs: every rung becomes a separate contact point the robot has to perceive and reach correctly. Figure is building humanoids around a simple idea: Instead of redesigning the world for robots, teach robots to navigate a world already designed for humans.

The biggest opportunity in humanoid robotics may not be building the robot itself. It may be solving the bottlenecks every robot company faces: cheaper actuators, dexterous hands, better training data, safety systems, factory integration, and reliable fleet operations. In the race to build humanoids, the biggest winners could be the startups selling the picks and shovels. #HumanoidRobotics #PhysicalAI #RoboticsStartups #IndustrialAutomation #EmbodiedAI #Startups #Startup #Humanoid #Humanoids #Robotics #HumanoidAnalytics @McKinsey @NVIDIARobotics @BMWGroup @Figure_robot @NIST

A robot built by Beijing's X-Humanoid ran 100 meters in 9.39 seconds on Saturday. Bolt's record is 9.58. Elsewhere at those games, robots tripped, came apart, and one caught fire. Everyone is quoting the one that caught fire. That is not the part that matters. This is. China installed roughly 276,000 industrial robots last year. The US installed about 38,000. China's operational stock is roughly 2 million units against our 394,000. Chinese firms shipped something like 80% of the world's humanoids and hold ~85% of the market. Our response, on July 28, was to add foreign-made humanoids to the…

Improving Robot Manipulation Policies with Verifiable Short Correction Snippets
Back Introduction DAgger-style correction is the engine of post-training improvement: when a policy fails, a human takes over, steers the robot back on track, and the resulting trajectory goes back into training. Since launching Axis V2, we have collected over 500 hours of human-gated correction data this way. But collecting corrections is not the same as using them well. This report summarizes a round of browser-based community correction experiments built around a simple task: the robot needs to place a block of tofu onto a plate. The existing policy already completes a portion of attempts…

5 Physical AI infrastructure platforms shaping robotics in 2026 - The Robot Report
Facebook X LinkedIn Reddit Pinterest Share From accelerated computing and simulation to data operations, open-source tooling, validation engineering, and continuous learning, these five platforms represent distinct control points in the emerging physical AI stack. For most of the modern AI boom, infrastructure had a single center of gravity: compute. Models grew larger, training runs consumed more GPUs, and the industry organized itself around accelerators, cloud clusters, training frameworks, and developer software. That stack was sufficient when AI’s outputs were text, images, video, or…
