Check out the new interactive humanoid robot, Yogi, introduced... by Cartwheel Robotics. Yogi is designed as a companion for everyday life, offering help and companionship in settings from hospitals to living rooms. It features soft silicone skin for safe touch, precision actuators for predictable movement, and simple, natural interaction. The robot continuously learns new abilities for greater utility. Cartwheel's founder, Scott LaValley, has a deep background, having developed over four humanoid systems. His expertise includes nearly a decade developing the Atlas robot at Boston Dynamics, followed by five years at Disney leading the team that created the Groot robot. This extensive, hands-on experience is key to Cartwheel Robotics' innovations.show more

Mondo is the most adorable companion robot. It’s safe... around kids, can track and follow a person, and capture high-resolution action videos. Mondo is also doing frontier research in humanoid Video-Action models built on a world model backbone: I have no doubt we’ll be hearing this name a lot in consumer robotics. Thanks Mondo Robotics Shuo Yang for the tour.show more

They are here our successors. While the whole world... is focused on the Brazil vs Morocco match they are quietly being mass produced inside factories. By 2030, the credible number to watch is not 10,000 humanoid robots. It is at least 1 million humanoids produced worldwide between 2026 and 2030. Factories are not waiting for the public to notice. Automotive suppliers AI labs actuator companies and robotics startups are already preparing the production chain. #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #BrazilMorocco #BrazilVsMorocco #BRA #MAR #Morocco #Brazil #AtlasLions #Selecao #HumanoidRobots #Robotics #AI #PhysicalAIshow more

Follow us KABClub to learn more about young entrepreneurs.... At a power substation in southern China’s Guangzhou, humanoid robots are taking over inspection duties. The robot was developed by a local robot maker, but the tech subsidiary of China Southern Power Grid has made modifications by itself, adding more sensors, enhanced hands, and greater AI computing power. While these humanoid robots and robot dogs are still in trial, automated and AI-powered inspection tools have already been widely deployed.show more

BaBot: A Ball-Balancing Robotics Kit BaBot is a do-it-yourself... ball-balancing robot kit designed as a hands-on platform for learning robotics and control systems. It enables users to explore concepts such as PID control, sensors, actuators, and software integration through practical experimentation. The kit is intended for students, makers, and others interested in applied robotics without requiring a formal engineering background.

This is getting unreal. "A huge humanoid robotics wave... is about to arrive 👀" Chinese robotics company AheadForm just unveiled one of the world's most lifelike humanoid robots at WAIC 2026 in Shanghai. This AI-powered humanoid can hold natural conversations, maintain eye contact, blink, display realistic facial expressions and synchronize its speech with lifelike head and facial movements.show more

What was in the movies is now happening in... the real world. The robot squadron. Actually, they are rehearsing the opening ceremony of the 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games to be held this weekend. Welcome to the future!show more

Midea has just introduced a six-armed super-humanoid robot designed... for complex task handling and multi-step operations,essentially functioning as a self-contained workstation. The new humanoid is an upgraded version of the earlier Miro wheeled humanoid robot. In August, Miro was deployed at Midea’s Jingzhou factory in Hubei, working alongside AMRs, single-arm four-wheel robots, KUKA robots, and human workers. The six-arm Miro will soon join this lineup as well, further boosting the factory’s intelligent automation and operational efficiency.show more

A humanoid robot suffered an awkward crash during a... training session ahead of the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, China. The robot reportedly lost control after completing a sprint and slammed into a safety cushion, damaging its waist in the process. The incident quickly amused social media users, with some joking that the robot had “broken its HDMI.” Video Credit : Arise Newsshow more

Something big is happening in robotics - and it’s... hiding in plain sight. This post is not about dancing robots but in the data that powers them. Open robotics datasets have exploded this year, turning the field into a more scalable and collaborative ecosystem. In just two years, Hugging Face datasets grew from 11k to over 600k - and robotics is by far the fastest-growing segment. We went from 1k robotics datasets in 2024 to 27k in 2025! For comparison, text generation, the second-largest category, has only around 5k datasets in 2025. That gap is massive. Open datasets are important because robotics lives and dies by real-world robot data - video, actions, sensors, failures. By making this data easy to upload, reuse, and benchmark, researchers, startups, and large players are now releasing real-robot datasets that would have stayed locked inside labs just a few years ago. Major contributors include NVIDIA, LeRobot initiative, and a rapidly growing maker community. This surge is also enabled by cheaper video storage, better tooling, and an open-source AI culture now spilling into the physical world. And it really matters: open robotics data dramatically lowers entry barriers, accelerates learning-by-doing, and speeds up progress toward generalist and humanoid robots. Robotics won’t scale through hardware alone - but to a large extent through shared data. Viz below from AI World - link to the story and more viz/filters in comment.show more

There are currently 61 humanoid companies spanning 13 countries... with a total of 88 humanoids Spent my free time creating an extensive display of humanoid companies to learn the current landscape Opinions: - Super saturated, every developed country fund and build humanoid robots, even developing countries like Vietnam has their own humanoid. - Software is the moat. Breakthrough in software will explode adaptation of robots in both consumer and industry. Observation: - Naming: Robots tends to be named in the following formula: Name + Generation (i.e. MagicBot Gen 1, Vanar Gen 1) or Name + Random Letter + Number (i.e. Jaka K1, Kinisi 01, Unitree G1). - Two diversion in use case: One side focus on utility (Figure, X1, etc.), the other focus on companionship (Enchanted Tools, Andromeda, etc.) Category imo: - Unique Design: Fourier, Enchanted Tools, Slightly Overdone Robotics, Pollen Robotics. - Unique Actuator: Clone Robotics - Best Capabilities: too soon to tell, too much online cherry picked demos instead of real life demonstration. - Most Natural Motion: Cartwheel Robotics, Pollen Robotics. - Highest Cost: Tesla.

BOOM! Humanoid Robots Just Performed Surgery for the First... Time! REAL VIDEO! In a groundbreaking preclinical breakthrough, researchers at UC San Diego have achieved what many thought was years away: teleoperated humanoid robots successfully completing live surgeries. Published in Nature, the study marks the world’s first use of humanoid robots for in-vivo laparoscopic procedures on large animals (pigs). Two separate surgeries were completed: Key Details •. Procedure: Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) •. Team 1: Human surgeon + one humanoid robot (the robot performed core tasks while the human assisted) •. Team 2: Two humanoid robots working together with no human at the operating table •. Robots: Custom “Surgie” humanoids (~5 ft tall, ~60 lbs) using standard surgical tools •. Control: Fully teleoperated by surgeons (remote human control, not autonomous) •. Significance: First demonstration of humanoid robots handling real surgical workflows in a live setting, proving compatibility with existing OR tools and spaces This proof shows humanoid robots could one day help address surgeon shortages, enable remote procedures in rural areas, battlefields, or even space all at a fraction of the cost and space of traditional surgical robots like da Vinci. Read the full publication here: Project page with video: The future of surgery just got a whole lot more interesting. And medical cost for the first time in decades will be scheduled to go down, much further down.show more

Elon Musk today on Optimus robot: "You’ve probably seen... a lot of impressive demos of robots on the internet, but those demonstrations are pre-programmed or remote-controlled. There is no humanoid robot that can actually do generalized tasks. Optimus will be the first one that will be capable of doing that, in just a demo, it’s generally useful in day-to-day life."show more
