Apptronik is in advanced talks to secure a new funding round of at least $400 million, led by existing investor B Capital, potentially reaching a $5 billion pre-money valuation. This follows a previous Series A round in February 2025 where the Austin-based humanoid robotics company raised $350 million, co-led by B Capital and Capital Factory, with participation from Google. Apptronik is also in a strategic partnership with Google DeepMind to integrate advanced AI models. Here’s Apptronik’s Apollo robot showcasing Gemini Robotics 1.5’s agentic capabilities.

Gemini Robotics 2 by Google DeepMind uses sim-only post-training on a mixed-data base model to handle automotive kitting. Contact-rich tasks like these have long been considered one of the hardest challenges in Sim2Real. Gemini Robotics 2 shows simulation can work even here. General robot intelligence needs much more data than real-robot collection alone can provide. Simulation has proven to be an effective way to fill that gap.

1/ The data parsing market for robotics is just emerging, and it’s already valued in the tens of billions. Data parsing to build data models and software for Robotics is a $20B market in 2024 and is expected to reach $150B+ by 2034 Cherry AI Robotics has built a data parsing tool for robotics, which goes live next week, and will effectively make this project one of the pioneers in data parsing for robotics.

Most robotics AI models suffer from the "stop-and-think" problem. They take a static picture, pause to reason, execute an action, and repeat. In the real world, that latency causes spills, collisions, and failed tasks. Google DeepMind just launched Gemini Robotics ER 2: an embodied reasoning model that thinks and acts at the speed of the physical world. Here's why this is a step-change for physical AI engineering: Traditional robotics models rely on static snapshots. But knowing *when* a task is done, such as when to stop pouring coffee into a cup or when a trash bag is securely tied, requires continuous temporal awareness. Gemini Robotics ER 2 integrates directly with the bidirectional streaming Gemini Live API to reason about what comes next while simultaneously executing motor actions. What makes Gemini Robotics ER 2 different: 🎯 91.3% accuracy on live video moment-finding (0.96s mean absolute distance) at 4x the execution speed of frontier models 📈 Continuous progress tracking across 5 completion stages (57.4% accuracy) to self-correct mid-task without restarting 🛠️ Native agentic tool orchestration that commands lower-level VLA models, navigation APIs, and Google Search 🤝 Multi-robot collaboration allowing physically diverse machines (like Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid and Franka's FR3 Duo arm) to hand off tasks in shared spaces 🛡️ Built-in physical safety that autonomously halts robots when humans enter a workspace and resumes once clear

The 120kg, wheeled Torobo humanoid robot Has a bipedal sibling. 東京ロボティクス株式会社 is testing this bipedal humanoid robot to enable it to walk in a human-like manner. As is evident, it is significantly lighter than its wheeled counterpart. Torobo is primarily designed for industrial applications,such as lifting and grasping heavy objects. The bipedal Torobo will offer enhanced versatility. In the future, Tokyo Robotics plans to integrate AI capabilities, enabling the robot to make autonomous decisions and take independent action.

Schaeffler is bringing UK's humanoid robots from concept to factory reality. Within the next 5 years, hundreds of humanoid robots will be deployed in Schaeffler's global factories, with beta versions first implemented in 2026–2027. Schaeffler is also becoming the preferred supplier of joint actuators for the humanoid wheeled platform and is jointly exploring next-generation actuator architectures with its partner. More importantly, the two companies will collaborate deeply on data and skills: continuously accumulating real-world manufacturing data through teleoperation, synthetic data, and peripheral data acquisition robots to train AI models, enabling humanoid robots to learn faster and perform more reliably in the factory.

As robotics teams scale, collecting real-world data can quickly become slow and expensive. 📉 Lightwheel is changing that with a simulation-first platform built on our technology, helping customers generate a 100:1 simulated-to-real data ratio for training autonomous systems. Together, we’re turning synthetic and real data into more capable, more reliable robots. Read the full success story 🔗

Sundar Pichai on the robotics opportunity: ⦿ He's impressed by recent humanoid progress - so much so that he sometimes has to look closely to tell if a robot video is real or fake. ⦿ Google initially moved too early into the application layer, but now sees the combination of AI and robotics as the “sweet spot.” ⦿ He believes we’re 2–3 years away from a “magical moment” in robotics. ⦿ Google is working on playing a role similar to Android in robotics - one of its internal bets is already focused on supporting robotics manufacturers. ⦿ Gemini robotics models will work very well - how to productize them is still an open question at the company.

Gemini Robotics 2 on Apollo, whole body generalization in 3D, World Cup edition :) These motions are entirely unscripted and no data was collected for this particular task. All reactive full body behaviors - when to step back or step forward, whether to retry, where to look and step - are emergent whole body generalization from the action model.
