One email a week: the launches, funding and research that mattered. Join the researchers, founders and technologists following the field.
XPENG has officially launched its automotive-grade assembly line for the IRON humanoid, achieving a world-first autonomous walk-off milestone
Agility Robotics' Form S-4 puts audited numbers behind the humanoid industry's first US listing: $1.78 million in 2025 sales, a $138.1 million net loss, and a going-concern warning. The headline $300 million backlog turns out to be a single contract with a related party, partly paid in warrants — and the competition section names eight rivals without mentioning a single Chinese manufacturer.
Galbot and researchers from Tsinghua University introduce RoboGesture, a streaming diffusion-based system that aligns speech with expressive, collision-free humanoid gestures.
Hot on the heels of launching its Serbian manufacturing hub, AGIBOT showcased its multi-robot lineup at IFA 2026 in Berlin, securing key safety certifications from TÜV Rheinland and partnering with distributor Tekpoint.
Humanoids Daily covers the fast-moving world of humanoid robots — from research labs to factory floors. We report on the companies, technologies, and breakthroughs shaping the next generation of intelligent machines.
When your $50,000 robotic worker blows an actuator mid-shift, who do you call? GMO AI & Robotics just unleashed Japan’s first "Humanoid Ambulance," complete with mobile triage and robot gurneys.
