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.
Hot on the heels of Unitree’s UnifoLM release, AGIBOT has open-sourced GE-Act 2.0, a native World-Action Model pretrained from scratch across 30,000 hours of manipulation data to eliminate the "validity gap."
Founded by Apple Special Projects Group veterans, Maven Robotics lands $100 million in Series A funding led by RoboStrategy to scale wheeled, dual-arm mobile manipulators across real-world logistics facilities.
Ten months after its first commercial rollout, Skild AI has scaled to $100 million in annual recurring revenue across more than 60 customers, using its deployment milestone to issue a sharp critique of cherry-picked robotics demonstrations.
Unitree Robotics has open-sourced UnifoLM-WLA-1.0, a 6-billion-parameter foundation model that combines an embodied reasoner, dynamic optical-flow world modeling, and an MMDiT action expert to drive whole-body manipulation.
