At its Munich Physical AI event, Agile Robots founder Zhaopeng Chen laid out a multi-trillion-dollar vision for humanoids while pushing back on "magic" AI shortcuts on the factory floor.
An impromptu painting demonstration using OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra has triggered a wider industry clash over whether foundation models will commoditize physical AI or hit an unyielding hardware ceiling.
Just a month after breaking stealth with a legged Unitree platform, European robotics startup Nucleus has deployed Nucleus II on a wheeled mobile chassis, prioritizing payload, runtime, and stability.
In an unusually candid documentary-style essay following the commissioning of XPENG’s humanoid assembly line, CEO He Xiaopeng reflects on six years of failures, why the company avoids stage demos, and how EV intelligence translates to physical AI.
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.
Two weeks after emerging from stealth, Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock shared growth metrics for Index, reporting nearly 70,000 weekly active users uploading 35 minutes of human interaction video every second.
LTX-2.5 ships a raw pretrained checkpoint built for fine-tuning, and a robotics team is already using the open world model to generate the video of a task and execute what the video says.
Founded by former Boston Dynamics and Google leaders, Dynamic Creatures launches with a proprietary AI operating system, theme park partnerships, and a fresh take on character robotics.
An extensive investigation reveals China’s defense establishment is laying the operational groundwork for combat humanoids, spotlighting an asymmetric race against solitary US defense contenders like Foundation.
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.
