🦿Xpeng showed a humanoid robot called IRON whose movement... looked so human that the team literally cut it open on stage to prove it is a machine. IRON uses a bionic body with a flexible spine, synthetic muscles, and soft skin so joints and torso can twist smoothly like a person. The system has 82 degrees of freedom in total with 22 in each hand for fine finger control. Compute runs on 3 custom AI chips rated at 2,250 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), which is far above typical laptop neural accelerators, so it can handle vision and motion planning on the robot. The AI stack focuses on turning camera input directly into body movement without routing through text, which reduces lag and makes the gait look natural. Xpeng staged the cut-open demo at AI Day in Guangzhou this week, addressing rumors that a performer was inside by exposing internal actuators, wiring, and cooling. Company materials also mention a large physical-world model and a multi-brain control setup for dialogue, perception, and locomotion, hinting at a path from stage demos to service work. Production is targeted for 2026, so near-term tasks will be limited, but the hardware shows a serious step toward human-scale manipulation.show more

WATCH THE TONGUE, NOT THE SKIN 2026 AI Robot... Exhibition floor. Guy peels protective wrap off a female humanoid - realistic skin, styled hair, standing still. He touches her chin. Her mouth opens. Her tongue extends, slightly. He turns to the camera and tells you the skin texture is indistinguishable from human. He's pointing at the wrong part. - Every previous humanoid demo hides the mouth Closed lips. Controlled smiles. Interview shots that cut before the mouth has to do anything complicated. There's a reason. Mouth interior is where the uncanny valley kills the illusion faster than anywhere else on a humanoid - wet surfaces, muscle deformation, teeth showing at wrong angles, a tongue that reads as rubber. The safe move for every manufacturer up to now has been to keep it shut. - Extending a tongue means the interior is solved What this demo is actually flexing: jaw and tongue actuators independent of the smile mechanism. A soft-tissue tongue with texture that reads correctly at close range. Cheek deformation responding to his chin-touch as a tactile input - that's a sensor layer under the silicone, not just a scripted animation. This is three separate hardware systems working together on a live floor with cameras inches away. - Skin texture is a commodity now. Mouth mechanics aren't. Every manufacturer shipping humanoids in 2026 has convincing skin - platinum-cure silicone with subcutaneous tinting is a known process at this point. That's not the differentiator anymore. The differentiator is what happens when you touch the unit. The one that opens its mouth on demand, on a public floor, in front of cameras, is the one that isn't hiding from close inspection. - Why the trade show matters The 2026 AI Robot Exhibition is China's biggest humanoid showcase - where enterprise buyers from hospitality, retail, healthcare and elder-care come to sign purchase orders. Willingness to demo interior mouth mechanics in that room is a confidence signal directly aimed at those buyers. "Our unit can talk to your customers with visible tongue and teeth motion and not look wrong doing it." - What this actually unlocks Humanoid receptionists that hold a conversation without the customer noticing something's off around the mouth. Retail units that can smile with teeth showing. Healthcare aides that speak to patients at bedside range. The close-inspection barrier - the two-foot distance where the illusion has always broken - just dropped a floor. Which is the distance almost every commercial humanoid deployment actually operates at.show more

two weeks in Shenzhen and it’s an been eye-opening... experience im here for a month with MIT SCALE and the speed of hardware production is easily 10× faster than sf. from product concept to production, everything is streamlined within a single building. Nearly every component you could need is available immediately thru Taobao(e bay of China) or HQB and there are 24/7 makerspaces equipped to build anything from micrometer-scale PCBs to full assembly-line robots. What’s striking is that Shenzhen already has much of the hardware and robotics that startups in sf are still trying to build except these systems have been deployed and operating for years. The manufacturing capability, supply chain depth, and technical execution here are world-class. That said, one gap keeps surfacing: brand design, storytelling, and cohesive user experience. Software polish, UX consistency, and attention to detail often feel secondary. Take this with a grain of salt, but it increasingly feels like the company that pairs Shenzhen-level hardware velocity with strong design sensibility and UX-first thinking will dominate the market.show more

AgiBOT’s humanoid robot A2 just achieved a Guinness World... Record. It walked 106KM from Suzhou’s Jinji Lake all the way to the Shanghai Bund, earning the title of “Longest Distance Walked by a Humanoid Robot.” A2 ran non-stop for 3 days and 3 nights, powered by hot-swappable batteries that kept it going without interruption. With dual GPS modules, a LiDAR sensor, and an infrared depth camera, A2 navigated reliably through city streets, highways, tourist areas, bridges, slopes, tactile paving, and even low-light nighttime environments. After more than 100 km, the robot was still in great condition,only the rubber on the soles showed some wear. Beyond marathon walking, effectively testing the overall performance and component stress, it can provide customers with a reliable standard for procurement. The company plans to deploy over 1,000 units in 2025 for tasks like reception, guiding visitors, delivery, and sorting.show more

You probably need a bigger showroom door when nearly... a full year of sales gets beaten in six months. Tesla just opened its new western Japan flagship at GranFront Osaka, right next to one of the country’s busiest retail and transit hubs. After selling roughly 10,600 cars in Japan in 2025, Tesla reached about 12,000 in just the first half of 2026. More visibility, easier test drives and a much bigger physical presence exactly when Japanese demand is picking up. That test-drive queue is going to get interesting.

We’ve seen humanoid robots walk around for a while,... but when will they actually help with useful tasks in daily life? The challenge here is the diversity and complexity of real-world scenes. Our new work tackles this problem via 3D visuomotor policy learning. Using data from only 1 scene, our Improved 3D Diffusion Policy (iDP3) enables a full-sized humanoid robot to autonomously pick&place objects, pour water, and wipe tables, in the wild open world. (and all these skills are useful, right?) Web: Fully open-sourced code:show more

Watching this changes how you see the night sky.... The Moon never changes its face. It is always half lit by the Sun. What changes is our position as it moves around Earth. From full Moon when we see the entire lit side, to new Moon when the lit side turns away and it vanishes from our sky, every phase is just geometry and perspective. A slight tilt in its orbit is why eclipses are rare, not monthly. Nothing mystical, just cosmic alignment repeating with precision.show more

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

The situation in the Middle East right now is... serious, and many people in the region are going through uncertain times. Dubai and the entire Gulf region have always been incredibly important for our films and for our boss.

For a film of this scale, the experience is meant to be shared together by fans across the world at the same time. When such a large section of our audience is facing tension and uncertainty, it only makes sense to wait for the right moment so everyone can celebrate the film together in theatres. This decision shows responsibility and respect for fans everywhere. Cinema is about bringing people together, and the goal is for every fan, whether in India, Dubai, or anywhere in the world, to enjoy the experience without worry. Real fans understand this. The celebration will be bigger when the time is right. 🔥show more

Update on LAT Aerospace Our first uSTOL technology demonstrator... is ready. Today, we have a fully-electric, fixed-wing UAV, built from scratch and almost ready for flight. To make this possible in just a few months, we built our entire flight lab from scratch. Every bench, every tool, every fixture designed to push the aircraft closer to flight every single day. This aircraft is designed to takeoff in 40 meters (thanks to a massive CL of 5 which is more than 2x of what you see on most aircraft). Endurance of 60 minutes. With a range of being able to cruise autonomously from Mumbai to Pune. Ground rolls done. As I type this, we are pushing hard to get the bird in the air. Hopefully it doesn't blow up. Either way, I promise videos of our attempt sometime over the next few weeks. We have learnt so much over the last few months, and I am sure that there are a lot of hard learnings yet in store for us. Our research on hybrid-electric propulsion is already in full swing, and we’ve also started building a team to begin development on our own gas turbine engines. This is one of the hardest engineering challenges possible. Our team is relentlessly at it to make this a reality before the turn of this decade.

⚠️ THE WEIRDEST PART OF THIS ROBOT DEMO? NOBODY... SEEMS SURPRISED ANYMORE! Humanoid robots are moving through a crowded public space while people walk around them like they're just another part of the environment. There’s no empty laboratory, no isolated testing area and no perfect path marked on the floor — just machines and humans sharing the same space. That makes this feel less like a robot demonstration and more like a preview of everyday life. Getting one humanoid to walk is one problem. Getting several machines to move safely around unpredictable people is another, because humans constantly stop, turn, cross paths and change direction without warning. Every movement requires the robots to perceive what is happening around them, maintain balance and continuously adjust their path. That's the shift worth paying attention to. The milestone isn't simply that robots can walk among humans — it's that we're starting to see environments where they can actually belong. Once that becomes reliable enough for shopping centers, airports, factories and offices, the question stops being whether humanoids can enter our world. It becomes what we're going to ask them to do once they're here.show more

This isn’t a 3D model thrown in a box.... This is pure code. No Blender, no Maya, no shortcuts. Every voxel, every jump, every movement scripted from scratch. Generative art at this level means thinking like a designer, a coder, and an artist all at once. It’s not about placing pixels. It’s about writing the rules of how a frog should exist in the Bitcoin chain. BLOCKFROGS isn’t just generative. It’s engineered.
