San Francisco startup Tau Robotics has launched an invite-only humanoid cleaning service at a flat $30 for a one-hour visit. CEO and co-founder Alexander Koch announced it on X, stating that all footage was shown at 1x speed and that "each humanoid is jointly controlled by a human operator and AI." The robots handle house cleaning, deep cleaning and office cleaning — wiping counters, vacuuming hardwood and rugs, taking out trash and clearing floor clutter. #TauRobotics #HumanoidRobot #Robotics #Teleoperation #AI

In the future, many people's life companions will be humanoid robots. Zeroth, a robotics startup from Suzhou, has released a home humanoid robot that caters to everything from household chores to companionship, from functional needs to emotional fulfillment. Named Jupiter, it resembles an astronaut with a warm white exterior that exudes tranquility and comfort. It can be remotely controlled and operates autonomously, powered by Zeroth's Soul emotional model, enabling it to understand human emotions and immediate needs.

Humanoid Long Jump. The G1 humanoid from Unitree Robotics has completed a long jump of 1.4 meters - possibly the longest jump ever achieved by a humanoid robot of its size in the world, standing only 1.32 meters tall. The G1 has up to 43 joint motors and a dexterous three-fingered hand, designed for precise manipulation and AI research. Priced from $16,000, it features robust Sim2Real capabilities, making it a compelling choice for robotics developers.

Humanoid robots are being born in China every day. Blue Worm Robotics, a startup from Xi’an, has officially unveiled its first humanoid robot. It moves on omnidirectional wheels, features a lifting torso, and has a look that’s almost like a Transformer. It runs in a hybrid mode of human teleoperation plus AI autonomy, and with its gripper design, it shows strong potential for use in electronics manufacturing and warehouse logistics. It made its debut at this year's World Humanoid Robotics Games in Beijing, winning third place in the warehouse sorting category.

Amazon makes a big move in the humanoid game. Amazon has acquired Fauna Robotics, a New York-based humanoid robot startup. The transaction closed last week. Fauna Robotics developed Sprout, a compact and approachable humanoid robot designed for safe, everyday interaction in shared human spaces such as homes, offices, and schools. Standing about 3.5 feet tall, Sprout can walk, grasp objects, interact with people, and even dance. The robot was launched in January this year as a humanoid platform for developers, priced at $50,000. Following the acquisition, Fauna’s roughly 50 employees will join Amazon. The company will continue deploying Sprout to outside researchers, and the startup will retain its name while operating as “Fauna, an Amazon company.” $AMZN

More and more humanoid robot kiosks are appearing in China. Yesterday, I passed by a subway entrance in Guangzhou and experienced a retail kiosk operated by a humanoid robot again, buying a bottle of water. The process was the same: select items on a screen, scan a QR code for mobile payment, and the humanoid robot retrieves the product. (However, it didn't interact with me at all.) I looked it up, and the wheeled humanoid robot is named S1, from AutoLife Robotics in Shenzhen. It uses omnidirectional wheels for movement and a lifting body. It's 1-1.6m tall, weighs 72kg, and has a 10-hour battery life. A single arm can carry 3-5kg. Furthermore, this humanoid robot is suitable for lightweight tasks in retail, convenience stores, supermarkets, and warehouse sorting.

Remember the humanoid robot used for hotel cleaning? Customers are already using it. Zerith Robotics, a startup from Hefei, has deployed multiple Zerith H1 robots in shopping malls, office buildings, and supermarkets in cities like Hefei Airport, Hefei Gas Building, and Shenzhen MixC, acting as cleaners and sales assistants. The Zerith H1 can autonomously perform cleaning tasks such as cleaning toilets, mopping floors, and wiping sinks. In supermarkets, it carries a shopping basket, autonomously picks up snacks, and automatically processes orders. From experimentation to trial use and real-world deployment, Zerith has built it into a commercial humanoid robot service solution, already used in over 20 landmark locations, and plans to expand to more cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai. From a commercial service reliability perspective, wheeled humanoid robots are being prioritized by customers. It is worth mentioning that Zerith was officially established in January of this year by a young team from the Tsinghua AI Robotics Laboratory. Last year, they successively launched Zerith Z1 (bipedal) and Zerith H1 (wheeled).

A startup company in San Francisco created robots that will come clean your home The company doesn’t want you to know that AI is not fully controlling these robots. A remote human operator will be looking through the robot’s cameras to handle the more complicated tasks like clearing clutter and taking out the trash For $30 an hour robots will come do things like vacuuming floors, picking items up off the floor, wiping surfaces, clearing clutter, and taking out trash $30 an hour is extremely expensive, for that price why not just pay a human $30 an hour….

🚨 Amazon has acquired Fauna Robotics, marking its second robotics acquisition in under a month. The move extends Amazon’s robotics strategy beyond fulfillment and further into the home, where safety, adaptability, and human interaction are central. Fauna’s soft-bodied humanoids are built for shared environments, a clear contrast to industrial systems and a better fit for consumer use cases. Taken together, these moves point to a more coordinated strategy across the humanoid stack, from hardware to deployment. The pace of consolidation is increasing, with strategic buyers moving earlier into the market.
