XPENG's next-gen IRON robot effectively crossed the uncanny valley, leading many to believe it was a human in a suit. In a follow-up event to prove it was a robot, He Xiaopeng had its leg skin cut open in front of a live audience. The robot then walked off the stage.

Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's AI lead, during a GTC discussion, highlighting the fundamental similarity in AI approaches for self-driving cars and humanoid robots: - Hierarchical decision making is useful, but it has to be done as part of the same decision-making process as lower-level controls. - We haven't seen the long tail of humanoid robotics, but Tesla has seen the long tail of self-driving, where high and low-level decisions have to be jointly made at a pretty high framerate. - Optimus's architecture is designed in a similar way, where there's a hierarchy but it's all running as part of the same model and the latencies involved in decision making are well modeled. - This architecture will scale quite well with humanoid robots. - The distinction of the decision-making levels is only in the developer's mind. For the model, it's a continuous space of decision making, where there are dials available to make them more fine or coarse. - Humanoids have more sensor modalities and higher degrees of freedom compared to self-driving, but the fundamental constraints remain the same: you need to make real-time decisions. There's obviously a hierarchy to these control signal outputs, but the lowest frequency cannot be too low, because the safety of the robot cannot depend upon things running at very low frequencies.

The contrast is striking. Tesla is inviting people to watch Optimus cheer from the sidelines at the Boston Marathon. Meanwhile, 300 humanoids from 26 Chinese OEMs actually participated in the Beijing Half Marathon. Multiple robots finished faster than the human winner, 40% navigated autonomously.

The Beijing Humanoid Half Marathon (21.1 km) just concluded! The humanoid winner was significantly faster than the top human finisher. - 1st place: Monkey King Team – Honor Lightning robot, 50 min 26 seconds - 2nd place: Mixue Ice City Team – same Honor Lightning robot, 50m 56s - 3rd place: Spark Team – same Honor Lightning robot, 53m 01s Another Honor Lightning robot finished the fastest, in 48m 19s, but was penalized (1.2x the finish time) for being teleoperated and missed the podium. The human winner finished in 1h 07m 47s.

Yikes! The operator picked the exact wrong moment to hand off the controller.

CMU researchers, in collaboration with NVIDIA, present ASAP, a two-stage framework for humanoid robot agility. It pre-trains motion policies on human data, then refines them with real-world corrections using a delta action model, which adjusts for simulation mismatches.
