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

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

It's been incredible to see neural networks working so... well on our humanoid robots Humanoids are crazy complex - an individual motor can rotate 360 degrees and you have 40+ joints. If you do the math, that means more possible robot states than atoms in the universe Figure has our own AI model called Helix that we've designed in-house. A single Helix neural network now outputs both manipulation and navigation, end-to-end from language and pixel input Every leap in machine learning has come from massive, diverse datasets. At Figure, we’re currently building the largest pretraining dataset for humanoids in history - excited to see what this unlocksshow more

🚨BREAKING Unitree's IPO application on the Science and Technology... Innovation Board has been formally accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with a planned fundraising of 4.202 billion yuan. Of this, the intelligent robot model R&D project accounts for the majority, amounting to 2 billion yuan. In other words: For Unitree, hardware is no longer the problem,the real bottleneck that urgently needs to be overcome is the development of intelligent robot models. Notably, Unitree reports that it has sold over 5,500 humanoid robots,ranking first globally,making them the growth engine of its robotics business.show more

Memo is a robot that uses AI to perform... household tasks effectively. Today Sunday announced its Series B, and we’re proud to be investors. Training robots for the home is hard — the environment is messy, dynamic, and full of edge cases. So Sunday is training robots directly on real households. Founders Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi built a glove-based system that lets hundreds of contributors record everyday tasks in their own homes, creating high-fidelity demonstrations that feed directly into robot learning. Home robotics will be defined by the companies that learn fastest from real homes. Sunday is building that loop. More here: Aaref Hilaly Amanda Huangshow more

AI-Powered weed control! 🌱 The LaserWeeder machine from Carbon... Robotics has captured the imagination of American farmers. This technology uses AI system to identify weeds in crops and zap them with precision thermal bursts from lasers. Bit of facts about the cool robot: → The machine can remove weeds from over 40 crops and can also be used for thinning crops. → It can operate in virtually all weather conditions, with millimeter accuracy at all times, and can work through the night thanks to its built-in lighting system. → High-resolution cameras and computer machine learning enable it to distinguish weeds from crops in milliseconds. → The LaserWeeder can replace about 70 workers on farms where manual weeding is used, and can weed up to four acres per hour. What other applications can we expect to see in the future in farming applications? Btw. I believe farming robots are A HUGE THING in robotics! 🔥 ~~ ♻ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →show more
