Optimus, Figure, Unitree and the race to build robots that walk, work and think.
Hexagon is training AEON in Schaeffler’s Humanoid Gym before a planned deployment of at least 1,000 robots. What is contracted, what remains unproven and which metrics matter.
Beijing is hosting 2,056 robots across 51 events. Sport impresses, but cable insertion, shifted packages and error recovery reveal the real state of autonomy.
Tesla's July 22 shareholder update replaced late July or August with later this year. What is confirmed, what is only announced, and what to watch.
Unitree listed in Shanghai with audited accounts: $248M revenue, $87M profit, 5,500+ humanoids shipped. The numbers rewrite what the industry claims about itself.
Unitree raised 6.1 billion yuan and its shares surged on their first trading day. Verified figures, industrial implications and risks behind 2026’s landmark robot IPO.
Beijing’s conference reports 373 exhibitors, more than 3,000 products and 311 new releases. We separate demonstrations, useful applications and missing evidence.
Gemini Robotics 2 combines VLA control, embodied reasoning and on-device AI. Here is what is available, what it can do and what remains unproven.
Three recent humanoids point to three different futures: industrial deployment, fleet learning and public-facing robot services. Here is the evidence behind the spectacle.
A smooth video is not enough. These seven checks separate measurable progress from a carefully staged robot demonstration.
GENE.01 can reportedly sense touch, proximity, force and temperature. The smart skin is promising, but industrial safety remains unproved.
What future military robots already look like: robot dogs, ground vehicles, drones, autonomous vessels and logistics systems — their missions, and the need for human control.
China, Singapore and New York are putting patrol robots, humanoids, quadrupeds and drones into public spaces. Here is what they can do, what they carry and where the limits belong.
UBTECH has launched the UWORLD U1 Lite, Pro and Ultra. Here is what is confirmed about price, capability, orders, privacy and limitations.
Ameca, Atlas, Figure 03 and Unitree G1 feel uncanny for different reasons. Here are the facts behind the reaction.
From cameras to actuators, this is the full chain that lets a humanoid perceive, decide, walk and grasp—and the points that still fail.
Atlas, Figure 03, Optimus, Unitree G1 and NEO compared by evidence, not demo hype.
The viral comparison is false: here is the official G1 starting price and what it actually includes.
Optimus connects Tesla's AI, batteries and factories—but the scale and timeline remain unproven.
BMW, GXO and the first deployments show a real but narrow market: repetitive handling, controlled zones and safety designed at system level.
