AGIBOT is streaming a live demo of six wheeled humanoid robots operating a convenience store around the clock for 24 hours.
A new generation of intimacy-focused gynoid robots is set to debut on November 3, 2026, marketed explicitly as sexbots. The announcement teases advances in AI-driven robotics for personal companionship.
Lightberry (YC F25) announced its Lumi humanoid robot became the first and only humanoid cleared by the U.S. Department of War and exempted from the FCC Covered List, enabled by U.S. manufacturing and full control of the robot's sensors and software.
Humanoid robot shipments surged 3.7x year-over-year to 19,100 units in the first half of 2026, with over 97% produced by Chinese companies, highlighting China's dominance in the robotics industry.
A discussion post asking when AI might cure baldness versus when humanoid robots could autonomously perform professional-quality haircuts, highlighting the gap between rapid software progress and much harder biological and hardware challenges.
The author argues that if humanoid robots come to produce most goods and services, the economic gains should be broadly shared rather than captured by the companies that own the robots, warning that otherwise automation will simply deepen inequality.
19 Unitree-style humanoid robots danced alongside 120 human performers at the WorldSkills opening ceremony in Shanghai, blending in with the crowd until they removed their masks.
随着人形和移动机器人进入仓储与工厂场景，基于学习模型的决策引发责任归属问题：当机器人造成损失或伤害时，责任应由制造商、模型开发者、操作员还是雇主承担？发帖者正在寻求现实中相关政策的案例。
HumanoidPose is a new framework that recovers full-body humanoid robot joint configurations from video alone by combining pretrained human-pose features with robot kinematics and self-training on unlabeled videos, reducing joint-angle error by 18-32% over baselines across three real humanoid platforms.
加州体育委员会向初创公司Rek发出停止令，要求其停止举办未经批准的人类与机器人笼斗比赛；Rek下一场活动将改为两台武装机器人对战。
MIT Technology Review's daily newsletter covers researcher skepticism that language-model AI can unlock truly general-purpose humanoid robots, highlights WaveSave's portable SlamDam for flood defense, and notes scientists in Austria and China building the first nuclear clocks.
An MIT Technology Review feature argues that AI breakthroughs in humanoid robotics, championed by figures like Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and Jensen Huang, are unlikely to transform everyday life soon, as many researchers doubt language-and-vision AI models can master the physical world's complexity.
MimicX introduces policy-in-the-loop supervision refinement for video-driven humanoid motion tracking, enabling robots to execute human motions (tennis, football juggling, dance, kung fu, parkour) captured from ordinary video demonstrations, including in collision scenes.
InterMimicGen 提出一个自我进化的运动模仿框架，通过数据飞轮将稀疏的人-物交互动作捕捉数据转化为持续扩展的、可执行的人形机器人全身 loco-manipulation 动作资源，并实现向真实机器人的迁移。
Elon Musk agrees with a post arguing that humanoid robots act as capital goods that massively expand productivity, supplying roughly 8,700 hours a year compared to a human's 2,000, enabling the economic abundance he frequently references.
A discussion questioning the steelman case from AI optimists like Nick Bostrom and Elon Musk that a leisure society awaits as AI and robots render human labor obsolete — and how people would actually pay rent, food, and healthcare without jobs or money.
Brett Adcock, founder of Figure AI, shares his strong views on Chinese robot makers during an appearance on the My First Million YouTube podcast, highlighting the growing U.S.-China competition in humanoid robotics.
Elon Musk tells China Media Group that in his 90% 'good' outcome, everyone will have personal humanoid robots like C-3PO that care for the elderly, watch children, and tutor one-on-one — with one person managing thousands of robots, effectively creating universal high income where money may no longer matter.
A commentator predicts that within ~30 years, communities rejecting AI and humanoid robotics will resemble the Amish—respected but isolated and viewed as eccentric.
Figure AI announced the decommissioning of its F.02 humanoid robot fleet as it scales the F.03 fleet, training an AI model to let the robots autonomously jump into a molten steel furnace in Finland — an act promoted with Arnold Schwarzenegger — to protect proprietary hardware IP.
