Wheeled humanoids typically struggle with stairs and complex terrain,... but Paxini’s TORA-DOUBLE ONE appears to be solving this problem. It just demonstrated clearing a 21.5 cm (~8.5 inch) obstacle. This capability is a significant step forward, greatly enhancing the practical value of wheeled robots.show more

Humanoid cleaning #robots are coming to your hotel —... or even your home! Zerith Robotics, based in Hefei, has unveiled a wheeled robot that can clean toilets, washbasins, and more. And this is just the beginning... Kitchen and restaurant cleaning bots could be next! #MadeInHefeishow more

At Joyson Electronics' factory, a batch of AgiBOT A2... and Genie 2 humanoid robots await delivery. Earlier this year, Joyson Electronics partnered with AgiBOT, with Joyson assembling the humanoid robots for AgiBOT, while AgiBOT deployed its Genie 2 wheeled humanoid robots at its automotive parts manufacturing plant. This customer-reciprocal relationship will become the norm.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

I know six-armed humanoids could be very efficient, but... it’s still wild to see one actually built by Midea. That said, I still believe major home appliance companies will do well in the wheeled humanoid competition.show more

🇸🇪 Sweden has ordered 94 additional CAVS wheeled armored... vehicles, based on the Patria platform, worth about €140 million. The order includes multiple variants — troop carriers, command vehicles, and medical evacuation vehicles — indicating Sweden is investing in a flexible, modular force structure. The CAVS program unites several countries (currently Sweden, Finland, Latvia, and Germany) around a single standardized vehicle and a unified supply chain. With this new order included, Sweden states it will have a total of 415 CAVS armored vehicles, to be delivered between 2025 and 2030. Given Sweden’s geography, population size, and military potential, as well as the capabilities of these modern wheeled armored vehicles, this represents a significant boost to the country’s motorized forces.

One UI, including One UI 8.5, has a long-standing... issue with the back gesture: lag. My finger moves, but the animation lags and doesn't follow the finger's response. This puts it behind all other OSes. Comparing One UI 8.5 with vivo's OriginOS5 and OriginOS6 reveals that Samsung's gesture response is the slowest, and I haven't been able to resolve the issue with Home Up. Samsung needs to optimize this. Another problem is that the icons in Samsung's animation are too ugly when they are shrunk. The icons are forcibly stretched to cover the page. Samsung borrowed this from OriginOS 5 at the time, but vivo fixed the problem in OriginOS6, and Samsung One UI 8.5 still has no improvement.show more

OP1 has all the moves. It was designed to... be safe, productive, and easy to deploy. Many companies we've spoken with are concerned about legged and wheeled robots being tipped over; OP1's not getting knocked down. Many battery-powered robots need downtime to recharge or swap batteries; OP1 plugs directly into a standard power outlet and runs continuously, never needing to recharge. Many robots require difficult integrations, such as being bolted down to the floor; OP1 is on locking wheels and can be moved around easily when you need to move it. At Ultra, we're on a mission to make the world's most useful and deployable robot. OP1 is a big step (or in our case, extension) in that direction.show more

Robots struggle with strict action rules…memory and symbols help... them learn fast. [Project + Full video link ⬇️] Robots struggle when tasks require specific steps in a fixed order. What if memory helped them think symbolically and learn faster? Solving tasks like unlocking a door then opening it is hard for deep RL. But by learning constraint relationships and storing them in memory, robots can solve these tasks much faster; with fewer trials and less training. Why it works ✅ Learns symbolic rules about action constraints ✅ Uses memory to transfer what it learned across tasks ✅ Handles real-world exploration with just 30 minutes of data ✅ Needs 10x fewer episodes than deep RL approaches This memory-based method shows a promising path forward for robots learning structured, real-world tasks.
