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

🚨 THIS IS HOW IT STARTS — HUMANOID ROBOT... SUDDENLY LUNGES AT A MAN — EXACTLY THE MOMENT PEOPLE FEARED A humanoid robot was casually kicking a soccer ball around during a public demonstration. Then the ball rolled toward a man in the audience. He tried to kick it back. That’s when the robot suddenly charged toward him and raised its arm like it was about to swing. Within seconds, a handler rushed in and grabbed the robot before the moment escalated. People in the room laugh nervously… but the clip is making the rounds online for one reason: The movement looks almost human. The way it runs. The stance. The arm coming up. Even the comments are losing it: • “Tf was it going to HIT for???” • “Why did it need to be held back?” • “DON’T TOUCH MY BALL” • “How do they get pissed off if they supposedly don’t have emotions?” The strangest part? The robot seemed to react the instant the human interfered with the ball. Are we just watching a glitch during a demo… or the exact moment people warned about?show more

Don't you have a haptic chair for VR gaming?... Don't worry, your friendly humanoid robot can help you with that! In a recent research paper from the University of Colorado, researchers experimented with using a humanoid robot to literally grab your chair and move it during VR racing sessions to make the game more realistic. And from the users' feedback, it seemed to work. I guess they took inspiration from those viral videos, where in some low-budget arcades, the owner literally moved the station with his own hands. I can't wait for the fail videos caused by this technology... Full video is available here: #VirtualReality #VR #technologyshow more

A Chinese humanoid robot just did something no human... has ever done, sprinting 100 meters in a blistering 9.39 seconds. The robot's time beats Usain Bolt's longstanding 9.58-second world record, offering a striking glimpse at how quickly humanoid robotics are advancing. After smashing into the wall, the robots were placed on a stretcher, unlike Bolt, who was able to jog a lap to celebrate human achievement in 2009.show 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

TESLA HALTED MODEL S AND MODEL X PRODUCTION TO... BUILD AN ARMY OF OPTIMUS ROBOTS The Fremont assembly line was torn down in 46 days. In its place, Tesla is building a line for humanoid production, aiming for a million units a year A humanoid robot is a body shaped like a human. Physical AI is the intelligence that controls that body Walking and making coffee is often just imitation learning from a scripted routine. But once the environment shifts, the learned trick stops working Language models had the entire internet to train on. Robotics has nothing close to that scale of data, which is why one giant brain hasn't worked for anyone yet The industry is moving toward modularity instead - separate models for vision, movement, and planning, each improved on its own The real question is no longer whether a robot can move impressively. It's whether it can pull its sensors into one picture of the world and adapt to whatever wasn't scripted for itshow more
