Seeing XPENG’s new IRON again,it remains truly stunning. It would be absolutely fantastic if it could actually walk around the venue lol -- During today’s interview session, founder Mr. He Xiaopeng told me that this anthropomorphic humanoid robot will initially be deployed in XPENG’s flagship stores to serve as a sales consultant and guide... (To be honest, this particular application scenario demonstrates strong backward compatibility.) Furthermore, some updates are scheduled for Q3 of this year. (I haven't finished transcribing his interview yet, but I will share more details later.) Essentially, auto companies worldwide are venturing into the field of humanoid robots to varying degrees,whether through application, R&D, or investment. However, few are like XPENG:a "Physical AI" company that covers the entire vertical stack,from software to hardware, from foundational infrastructure (AI chips, foundation models, etc.) to manufacturing, and finally to the closed-loop application of real-world scenarios. So, the branches are diverging,the ultimate forms that these various humanoid robot ecosystems take will be distinct from one another. The future is wild.

My eyes can't keep up with its hand gestures. Xynova's new dexterous hand--Prima1, uses direct drive. 22 degrees of freedom, tactile sensing, high-precision force control... it seems designed more for industrial manufacturing scenarios. They will be showcasing a physical hand at the WRC in Beijing. it must be said, when people discuss which is better, Xynova has already covered tendon-driven, hybrid-driven, and direct-drive hands.

US Army is field-evaluating humanoid robots for high-risk missions At Marine Corps Base Quantico (Sept 9–10), the Army ran xTechHumanoid finals. Nine teams demonstrated tech; five winners were picked. The only full platform among them is Alex from IHMC. In the footage, Alex walked through wooded and rough grassy terrain and was shown handling a shovel for digging... basic outdoor mobility and tool use under field conditions. Alex--179 cm, ~85 kg, 29 joints, custom high-power backdrivable quasi-direct-drive actuators. Specs--1.5+ m/s, 2+ hr battery, 15+ kg continuous payload. Impact-resilient actuators + some ballistic protection, hybrid AI + human supervision. The Army’s goal is reduce soldier exposure to dangerous, high-physical-demand tasks-- not field robot soldiers. They’re also looking at power systems, tactile sensors, and command software that turns commander intent into robot actions. Power and control still look like bigger bottlenecks than walking. --- Even so, I’d rather see platforms like this used for field exploration and extreme-environment scientific work --so researchers don’t have to be on site themselves.

Sharp Robotics of Singapore has officially unveiled SharpaWave, an impressively dexterous hand. The 1:1 life-size model boasts 22 degrees of freedom, with over 1,000 tactile sensors per fingertip. It can crack eggs, play the piano, or use scissors, combining strength, speed, and dexterity once thought impossible.

Looks like XPENG is getting IRON ready to work as a Car stores sales assistant. XPENG is testing its potential for real-time interaction with multiple customers asking about buying a car. IRON can follow the person it’s talking to in real time, take human-like steps and turn naturally(not pacing), while remembering each customer’s needs and switching between languages on its own. (If it serves customers over the long term, its sales capacity grows exponentially.)

Pretty hand👋 just like a real human hand. Hangzhou Xynova unveils the Flex 2 Hybrid-Drive Dexterous Hand (Cable-Driven + Direct-Driven). Tactile Perception, and the camera is positioned at the wrist joint rather than in the center of the palm. They will showcase the physical hand at ICRA 2026 in Vienna. (Humans have continuously replicated the hand that evolved two million years ago, while attempting to coordinate hand and brain.)

IRON walks like a human. XPENG has just held a supplier conference, bringing together major suppliers across actuators, dexterous hands, sensors, AI chips and other key components. It has completed supplier audits and finalized key component suppliers. Around 85% of its suppliers overlap with XPENG’s automotive supply chain, and production scheduling is now underway. IRON’s production line started operating on September 8,Guangzhou, with more than 80% of core processes automated.

Remember the humanoid robot used for hotel cleaning? Customers are already using it. Zerith Robotics, a startup from Hefei, has deployed multiple Zerith H1 robots in shopping malls, office buildings, and supermarkets in cities like Hefei Airport, Hefei Gas Building, and Shenzhen MixC, acting as cleaners and sales assistants. The Zerith H1 can autonomously perform cleaning tasks such as cleaning toilets, mopping floors, and wiping sinks. In supermarkets, it carries a shopping basket, autonomously picks up snacks, and automatically processes orders. From experimentation to trial use and real-world deployment, Zerith has built it into a commercial humanoid robot service solution, already used in over 20 landmark locations, and plans to expand to more cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai. From a commercial service reliability perspective, wheeled humanoid robots are being prioritized by customers. It is worth mentioning that Zerith was officially established in January of this year by a young team from the Tsinghua AI Robotics Laboratory. Last year, they successively launched Zerith Z1 (bipedal) and Zerith H1 (wheeled).

So cool...a humanoid just drove a go-kart for real. A Unitree G1 lowers itself into the tight cockpit, hands on the wheel, feet on the pedals, then runs the track， even drifts. It shows constrained whole-body loco-manipulation, mobile pick-and-place, and hand-eye-foot coordination in one sequence. This comes from China’s Symbiosis Robotics and their Direct Perception Control (DPC) model. It skips the usual high-level goals + tracker stack, mapping vision, language, body state and feedback straight to joint and hand targets. The focus is whole-body coordination for loco-manipulation. Interestingly, data diversity...Training used 15,010 hours of joint-aligned data-- 6,781h human egocentric, 4,024h armed robots, 3,660h wheeled humanoids, 545h bipedal. Teleop, head-mounted and egocentric sources were all converted into time-aligned joint trajectories across embodiments. A clean test that packs perception, balance and continuous whole-body control into one task chain ,and leaves room for other real-world scenarios.

Just saw something that actually feels like a real leap in robotics hardware.👋 Allonic built a robot hand using 3D Tissue Braiding,basically weaving high-strength fibers around a minimal rigid skeleton the way human connective tissue wraps around bone. No hundreds of screws, bearings, cables or fiddly joints. Instead,a continuous automated process that creates the tendons, soft tissue & compliant structure all at once. The outcome is wild: »strong yet naturally soft & safe for close human interaction »surprisingly dexterous »produced from digital design→physical part in minutes »cost drops so much that you could eventually swap end-effectors like disposable gloves This is starting to feel like the moment robotic bodies get their own “3D printing revolution”. Hardware iteration speed finally approaching software speed. If this scales, it could be one of the missing pieces that lets dexterous humanoid robots move from lab → factories → homes. (Oh, and the company just raised $7.2M Pre-Seed,largest ever in Hungary. Budapest-based with US HQ. Led by Visionaries Club + angels from OpenAI, Hugging Face, ETH Zurich, Northwestern etc.) Prototype hand looks insane,the woven fiber texture is unreal.

LimX TRON 2 can easily walk while carrying a 30kg tire. Don't be surprised if, in the future, it is used for rescue operations or outdoor transport tasks… This is a modular robot platform capable of transforming into a biped, a quadruped, or a centaur humanoid robot.

Like living in 2050 A Shanghai car owner bought two Unitree G1s and turned them into car washers. While they washed their cars, he sat next to them and drank tea. It was a wonderful atmosphere. But the cars weren't clean enough, so the owner had to do it himself. 🤣

Holy…S😳 This isn’t fabric. It’s electronic skin,woven with dense fiber and textile sensors that can detect pressure, touch, deformation, and subtle contact changes in real time. Now imagine humanoid robots covered in it,especially on dexterous hands. humanoids could truly touch and understand the physical world and even humans. (from Shanghai JQ INDUSTRIES )

Boston Dynamics just had a brutal C-suite shakeup CEO Robert Playter retired in February, the COO and CSO bounced right after, CTO Aaron Saunders jumped ship to Google DeepMind… and a ton of senior engineers and researchers are gone too. This is happening right as the company gears up for IPO and tries to scale Atlas from flashy lab prototypes into real mass production. Hyundai (the parent company) is cracking the whip: they want tens of thousands of these humanoids in their factories ASAP. Basically going from “cool robot video dreamers” to “actual factory workforce suppliers” overnight. Board is in full panic mode. With Optimus, Figure,Unitree and the rest breathing down their necks, losing this much talent at crunch time… oof.
