Build a humanoid robot yourself! 🪚 OpenArm is an open-source humanoid robot. It comes with full CAD, control code, firmware, and simulation tools, everything needed to build, modify, and operate it. The arms are designed to be compliant and backdrivable. Teleoperation is supported, with force feedback and real-time gravity... compensation so operators can guide the arm naturally. Super important, on the simulation side, OpenArm works with platforms like MuJoCo and Isaac Sim, letting developers test policies in virtual environments before running on hardware. Assemble it yourself from a kit or get it prebuilt, the goal is accessibility for research labs, small teams, and enthusiasts. The project is run by Enactic in Tokyo, Japan, and aims to lower the barrier for experimenting with dexterous manipulation. Let's put robotics in mainstream! 🔥🔥 P.S. I put the project page in the comments!show more

Another win for open-source robotics! 🔥 Hugging Face just released a fully open-source humanoid robot, and you can build one for $2,500. I'm a huge advocate of open-source in robotics space. Why? Robotics is too hard to solve alone. So lowering the entry point is crucial. Also, ROS proved open ecosystems create lasting industry standards. So let's have a look at the new member of humanoids family! LeRobot Humanoid is a 3D-printed, bipedal humanoid platform designed for real robot learning experiments. It's a complete and, buildable robot Anddddd yes, it's a full stack release: → Hardware files, bill of materials and full assembly documentation → Simulation assets and training environments → Runtime tools for calibration and real-world control → Sim-to-real identification pipeline When a part breaks, reprint it. When a design choice doesn't work, modify it and test again. The whole point is fast iteration on real hardware, not treating the robot as a fixed artefact. The timing is not a coincidence. As foundation models for robotics mature, the field desperately needs open physical platforms to train, validate and deploy them on. clem 🤗 LET'S GO!!! Build it here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

NAVIAI-I3, a more robust humanoid robot, was launched by the Zhejiang Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center. Standing 1.8 meters tall, it can run like a human and walk on various terrains. This humanoid robot appears to be primarily designed for specialized industrial tasks, such as security patrols in underground parking lots. They previously launched the lightweight bipedal NVAI-2 and a wheeled humanoid robot. The bipedal robot is used in manufacturing operations, while the wheeled humanoid robot is used for unstructured, flexible tasks such as warehouse sorting, supermarket shelving, and office cleaning. We filmed this demonstration at the World Robot Conference; you can see it in the comments section.

Humanoid robots are cool. But most of them aren’t ready for real-world work. X-Humanoid just launched Embodied Tien Kung 3.0 - a full-size humanoid robot built to actually operate in industrial and commercial environments. What makes it different? • Strong, high-torque joints for heavy tasks • Can move dynamically and stay stable • Handles complex motions (even over obstacles) • Millimeter-level precision for detailed work It runs on the Wise KaiWu AI platform, which allows the robot to see, think, and act in a continuous loop with less human control and support for multi-robot collaboration. It also supports ROS2, MQTT, and TCP/IP, and offers more open hardware + software interfaces to make development easier for teams. The goal is simple: make humanoid robots practical, easier to build on, and ready for real-world use. Visit: Check out the official launch video below to see what it can do! 👇 #Robotics #HumanoidRobot #AI

Even when humans playfully play with the humanoid robot,it patiently waits until the empty cup is actually placed before it. A test: A staff member frequently interrupts the robot to see if Astribot S1 can recognize the empty cup until it correctly selects it, picks it up, and autonomously fills it with popcorn, all in one go. A simple human action is difficult for a humanoid robot (AI). In real-world situations, with many uncertain environmental distractions, such as a crowded table, unprocessed order labels, and an empty cup, a humanoid robot must make precise decisions and actions to be truly effective. P.S. You can try Optimus next time you're at the Tesla Diner.

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.

Open-source dexterous hands with fingertip sensors! 🪬 ORCA Dexterity just released three dexterous hand models. Their mission: is to democratize robotic hand dexterity. They're sharing progress on exceptional, low-cost hardware and a software layer from low-level control to robotic hand learning. This is the open-source approach to dexterous manipulation. It has 83 taxels per finger with 0.1 N force detection which pretty is impressive for an open-source design. Tactile sensing is critical for dexterous manipulation, knowing contact forces enables gentle grasping, slip detection, and force-controlled assembly. Also 700g weight for the lite version makes it practical for mounting on robot arms without exceeding payload limits. Lower weight means faster movements and lower torque requirements. Open hardware accelerates robotics by letting researchers and builders modify designs for their specific needs without starting from scratch! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →
