🤖🏋️ A humanoid #robot has lifted its way into... history! On Aug. 24, a TianGong robot developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center–Huazhong University of Science and Technology team became the first humanoid robot to win a weightlifting championship at the #WorldHumanoidRobotGames. Starting with a 15 kg weight, the robot kept pushing its limits and eventually completed a 16 kg lift to claim the title. （Video: Zhang Yiyi/GT) #WHRG #Weightliftingshow more

Pi Ventures-Backed OpenMind Opens Waitlist For Humanoid Robot Control... Pi Network (Pi Network) Ventures backed OpenMind (OpenMind) has opened the waitlist for Instabody, a platform that lets users remotely control a real humanoid robot. The company said users can see the world through the robot's eyes and directly control its movements. It believes giving people the controls will help shape how robots evolve. OpenMind previously launched a robot app store built on its OM1 operating system, allowing developers to add new skills to humanoid and quadruped robots.show more

UBTECH just released Walker C1, its next-generation full-size humanoid... robot built for “urban co-existence” 🤖 At the upcoming China International Supply Chain Expo, it will serve as the event’s first official “silicon spokesperson,” handling navigation, reception, information queries, and host-style interaction.show more

In the future, it might just be humanoid robots... doing the refueling!🤖⛽️ Sinopec plans to introduce humanoid robot workers across its gas stations. They will handle tasks like fueling, picking up items, restocking, and inspections,working alongside human staff, especially during peak holiday periods in China to ease service pressure. With more than 30,000 gas stations across the country (most of them equipped with convenience stores), this implies a deployment of at least 30,000 humanoid robots. The robot is a wheeled humanoid developed by Beijing-based company FIVEAGES.show more

Booster Robotics is gearing up to launch a new... humanoid robot, the K1! The price won't be ¥99,000 RMB (approx. $13,600 USD), nor will it be ¥39,000 RMB (approx. $5,400 USD). Its final price point is expected to be significantly lower than other robots currently on the market.show more

🚨🇺🇸 ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL BE BIGGER THAN CELL... PHONES, EVERYONE WILL WANT ONE Elon is once again thinking far beyond EVs, declaring that humanoid robots will be “the biggest industry or the biggest product ever,” even surpassing smartphones. Elon is especially referring to Tesla’s Optimus robot, which he claims will eventually be capable of doing anything humans don’t want to. Tesla is already training Optimus with real-world tasks using AI and data from its vehicle fleet, and Musk believes mass production could redefine both labor and consumer tech. Some call it hype, but Elon calls it inevitable. If he’s right, we’re not just talking about the next iPhone… we’re talking about the next industrial revolution.

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

⚠️ NO MAGIC INVOLVED. JUST THE SAME ACTUATORS FROM... HUMANOID ROBOTS, POINTED IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. What looks like sci-fi on an auto show floor runs on the same three technologies now putting robots on their feet. → Electric actuators instead of hydraulics, the same components going into today's humanoid joints → Real-time balance under dynamic load, the exact problem a humanoid solves with every step → Lightweight composite materials that were lab exotica five years ago, now standard on a showroom stand The gap between a robot that walks and a vehicle that hovers isn't physics anymore. It's just where engineers pointed the same toolkit.show more

.Xynova is one of the top rising players in... China’s dexterous hand and humanoid robot components space, based in Hangzhou • They develop not only the hands but also all core components (linear actuators, motors, etc) and algorithms fully in-house • They use a hybrid drive system, combining tendon-driven and direct-drive methods • One of the most exciting features is wrist control and finger abduction/adduction, delivering much more natural hand and arm dexterity • They prevent the hand from overheating by placing one of the actuators in the arm (below the palm) • Hands are equipped with tactile sensors and lidars, with 23 DoF (human hands have ~27 DoF) The overall design is deeply inspired by real human hand and arm muscle movements, impressive biomimicry approach The Humanoid Hub and I interviewed their tech lead so stay tuned for more technical details!show more

VIDEO: Okin Biscuits Resumes Production After 17-Year Shutdown Okin... Biscuits has taken a major step towards returning to the Nigerian market, as biscuits rolled off one of its rehabilitated production lines at its factory in Offa, Kwara State, for the first time in 17 years. The company on its official Facebook handle on Wednesday said the production line had to be rebuilt after its cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors and other electronic components were stolen. The company also announced that while further testing, calibration and rehabilitation are still required before the familiar Okin taste and quality are restored, the milestone marks significant progress towards bringing the biscuits back to the market.
