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

Meet Sprout: The NYC-Built Humanoid Designed to Live Among Us 🤖🫶 New York-based Fauna Robotics just pulled the curtain back on Sprout, a humanoid platform built specifically for the spaces we actually live in—homes, schools, and offices. Standing 3.5 feet tall (approx. 107 cm), Sprout isn't a shrunk-down factory machine; it’s a lightweight, soft-touch robot designed with zero pinch points or sharp edges. ➤ Built for Builders: This is a "canvas" for developers. Fauna provides movement, perception, and navigation right out of the box, allowing researchers to skip the basics and focus on high-level apps like manipulation and voice interfaces without worrying about the robot falling over. ➤ Socially Approachable: Sprout features an expressive face to communicate intent and moves quietly to blend into social settings. Instead of keeping humans behind safety cages, the team designed Sprout to be something people actually want to lean in and say hello to. ➤ A Trustworthy Foundation: With 80% of the workforce in services, Fauna is targeting urgent needs in healthcare and eldercare. By keeping engineering and manufacturing in NYC, veterans from Meta, DeepMind, and Amazon are building a durable, affordable foundation for the future of human-robot interaction.

Japanese Experts: China’s Robotics Capabilities Are Highly Advanced; Japan Unlikely to Catch Up Soon On July 23, the Nikkei xTECH website released a video showing Japanese technicians dismantling the G1 humanoid robot made by the Chinese company Unitree Robotics, in an effort to examine its internal structure and technological sophistication. Throughout the process, the Japanese technicians and reporters marveled at the high level of technology embodied in the Chinese humanoid robot. They ultimately concluded that Chinese robotics development has clearly moved beyond the stage of mere demonstrations; regarding humanoid robotics, it is "likely unrealistic" for Japan to narrow the gap with China in the near term. Japan was once a global pioneer in the robotics industry, holding a dominant position—particularly in industrial robotics. Today, however, China has achieved a world-leading status in the field of humanoid robotics, driven by mature, refined manufacturing processes and technological innovation.

China's humanoid robotics market is on fire. With orders expected to top 30,000 units this year—a tenfold jump from 2024's total of less than 3,000—2025 is officially shaping up to be the "Year of Mass Production." This surge, driven by an expansion into new sectors like industrial manufacturing, logistics, and elder care, is reflected in a wave of new deals across the industry. Here's a look at some of the key commercial progress: Astribot: A 1,000-unit order for industrial and logistics deployment over two years. TianTai Robotics: Signed a major 10,000-unit order for caregiving robots. Noetix Robotics : Received over 2,000 intent orders in one month, valued at over 100 million yuan, with a focus on education and commercial performances. AgiBot: Expects to ship thousands of units this year and tens of thousands in 2026. Unitree Robotics: Has orders for thousands of units and is one of the most visible products in the industry. UBTech: Aims to deliver 500 industrial humanoids in 2025, with educational robot orders already exceeding 300 units. Robot Era: Delivered over 300 units by July 2025 with 500 more on hand. TLIBOT: Has around 1,000 intent orders. Galbot: Secured orders for its supermarket security robot, Galbot, in 100 stores. AI² Robotics: Has nearly 500 orders for its general-purpose robots for industrial and public service scenarios. But here’s the crucial reality check. While the order boom is exciting, it doesn't automatically translate to fulfilled deliveries. Many companies lack the production capacity to keep up. A significant portion of these are "intent orders" or framework agreements, not guaranteed sales. Furthermore, the market is heavily B2B-focused, with consumer demand representing only about 5% of sales. Some orders are even symbolic, for public relations or strategic purposes. This “order frenzy” is a starting point, not the finish line. The true test for China's humanoid robot industry isn't who can secure the biggest order, but who can consistently deliver on it and build a stable market for the future.

🚨 BREAKING: Hyundai Worldwide to deploy tens of thousands of robots! Hyundai is scaling up its robotics strategy with a major investment in Boston Dynamics ' robotic platforms. The company plans to deploy tens of thousands of units — including the Atlas humanoid, Spot quadruped, and Stretch trailer-unloading robots—across its manufacturing and logistics operations in the coming years. Spot is already in use at Hyundai’s facilities, performing industrial inspection and predictive maintenance tasks. Atlas, Boston Dynamics’ bipedal robot, is next in line for factory deployment, aimed at addressing physically demanding and repetitive jobs. Beyond deployment, Hyundai will support Boston Dynamics’ growth by integrating the automaker’s manufacturing capabilities to boost robot production. The move is part of Hyundai’s broader ambition to lead in robotics and “physical AI”. That's so cool to see the scale-up phase with humanoids. Looking forward to seeing Atlas live in Boston this month. 🔥

We’re at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The show floor makes one thing crystal clear: robotics is accelerating, and these machines are heading into our lives fast. With dozens of humanoids and quadrupeds on display, the industry is converging on a need for a shared network and operating system. OpenMind’s software-first, hardware-agnostic approach is designed for this inevitability.

Japan Just Built a HouseBot You Control Without Speaking and It Changes Everything! Donut Robotics has officially unveiled its first bipedal humanoid, Cinnamon 1, and instead of focusing on louder voices or bigger motors, the company went in the opposite direction. Silence. Cinnamon 1 introduces what Donut Robotics calls Silent Gesture Control, a system that allows the humanoid to be guided using simple hand and finger movements rather than spoken commands. This approach feels especially well suited for real world environments where traditional voice control falls apart. Busy factory floors. Construction sites filled with constant noise. Even quiet indoor settings where voice commands feel awkward or intrusive. It also opens the door for far more accessible human robot interaction, particularly for users with impairments. While the current Cinnamon 1 hardware is built on an OEM platform, the intelligence driving it is where Donut Robotics is placing its long term bet. The team is actively developing custom Vision Language Action AI that allows the robot to interpret what it sees, understand intent, and respond with physical action. The goal is not just smarter robots, but robots that feel more natural. Even more ambitious is the company’s plan for full domestic production. Donut Robotics has stated its intention to localize both manufacturing and AI development in Japan, reinforcing the country’s reputation for precision engineering and thoughtful robotics design. If timelines hold, Cinnamon 1 units are expected to begin deployment in factories and construction environments by the end of 2026. That puts this humanoid squarely in the category of near term reality rather than distant concept. The takeaway is simple but important. As humanoid robots move out of labs and into daily work environments, the winners may not be the loudest or flashiest machines. They may be the ones that understand us without a word being spoken.

Last night, China Central Television (CCTV) aired its 2026 Chinese New Year Gala celebrating the Year of the Horse. The show featured a wide range of performances, including Unitree Robotics humanoid robots performing martial arts in sync with human dancers. Just a year ago, Unitree’s robots appeared at the same gala, but their movements looked stiff and mechanical. This year, they were noticeably more fluid and coordinated — a remarkable improvement, even if they’re still likely operating under some level of remote supervision. When it comes to humanoid robotics, most of the visible momentum today seems to be coming from the U.S. and China. Companies like Tesla (with Optimus) and Boston Dynamics in the U.S., alongside rapidly advancing Chinese firms, dominate the headlines. So what happened to Europe and Japan? Japan was once seen as the global leader, especially with Honda’s ASIMO and SoftBank Robotics’ humanoid projects. However, ASIMO was retired, and much of Japan’s robotics focus shifted toward industrial automation and service robots rather than full-scale general-purpose humanoids. Europe, meanwhile, remains strong in industrial robotics, research, and precision engineering — with players like ABB and KUKA — but hasn’t pushed aggressively into commercial humanoid platforms at the same scale or speed as the U.S. and China. In short, it’s less that Europe and Japan disappeared, and more that the center of gravity in humanoid robotics — especially AI-driven, general-purpose humanoids — has shifted toward U.S.–China competition. Whether that gap widens or narrows will depend on breakthroughs in embodied AI, cost reduction, and real-world deployment over the next few years.

Sam Altman says he’s excited about a future where signing up for ChatGPT’s highest tier gets you a free humanoid robot. ⦿ The mechanical engineering and AI for humanoids are quite hard but feel within grasp. ⦿ Making a billion humanoid robots will take a while; maybe the first million humanoid robots, built the old-fashioned way, will automate the entire robotics supply chain to enable faster scale. ⦿ The demand for humanoids will be far more than what we can handle with current supply chains. ⦿ Things we've tried to bring manufacturing back to the US have failed. AI & robotics is a potential solution.
