If you know who this guy is, you’re either too old to be on social media or we should meet and talk about robots.

In reality, current robot fighting is boring unless something malfunctions or breaks. It lacks what makes sport compelling, i.e. training, skill, rivalry, sportsmanship, and someone to root for. Prerecorded moves make for forgettable demos, not memorable moments or champions

Ladies and gentlemen, the start of the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games. In China 🇨🇳 In a different timeline US gov kept funding DARPA Robotics Challenge and we'd already be doing the Robot Olympics (aqua edition). But, I guess now China will be the one leading us to singularity.

The difference between humanoid robots walking up stairs in 2026 vs 2015. Not enough credit given to Brett Adcock and team for that video. Left - Figure AI Robot (2026) Right - KAIST DRC HUBO Robot (2015) Both state-of-the-art robots of their time. Realtime playback speed.

I’m in China, at UBTech’s launch event of the U1 android series and it’s insane!! These are full-size bionic humanoid robots they plan to ship end of 2026. I like that a lot of their models have western fantasy style and some of them look like they belong in Legend of Zelda.

Made the mandatory humanoid robotics pilgrimage to Waseda University, Tokyo 🇯🇵 Can anyone guess why this place is special? It’s the birthplace of humanoid robotics - WABOT, the first humanoid was born here. Alongside are his two brothers, WHL-11 and WABOT-2. We’ll discuss soon.

タチコマ（タチコマ）は、アメリカでもよく知られている象徴的なロボットで、私が特に好きなロボットの一つです。日本とアメリカのロボティクスの大きな違いの一つは、日本のロボットにはいつもはっきりとした個性やキャラクター性があることだと思います。これは、実際のロボットでもデザイン上のロボットでも同じです。 例えば、アメリカのヒューマノイドロボットの多くは、白やシルバーを基調とした無機質な見た目で、顔もありません。 一方で日本では、美しさやデザイン、フォルムがとても大切にされていて、それが人とロボットの距離を近づけている一部なのだと感じます。 「ロボットまつり」でたくさんのロボットを見て、そのことをあらためて強く実感しました。
