Could humanoid robots replace people on the battlefield? Compared with risking human lives — and with all the political backlash and risks of stress-induced war crimes and trauma — humanoid soldiers offer a more resilient, restrained, and precise alternative. Robots do not suffer from fatigue or fear and can...

Ukraine has received two humanoid robots, Phantom MK-1, for testing on the front lines. According to Time, the machines are currently being used for reconnaissance, but their creators claim that these robots will eventually be able to use any weapon accessible to humans and could perform combat tasks in the future. The developers believe that deploying humanoid machines on the battlefield could reduce soldier casualties and increase operational accuracy, as robots do not experience fear or fatigue and can operate in extreme conditions.

ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL OUTNUMBER OTHER ROBOTS BY FAR “Something that's going to be very important in the future is combining deep AI in the data center or supercluster with robotics, like the Optimus humanoid robot. Optimus is awesome. There's going to be so many humanoid robots and robots of all sizes and shapes. But my prediction is that there will be more humanoid robots by far than all other robots combined by maybe an order of magnitude, like a big difference.” Source: Interview at Y Combinator, June 2025

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.

Trump understands what’s coming. The United States is going to lead the world in AI and robotics, especially humanoid robots, bc of Elon. Whoever leads humanoid robots and AI will define the next industrial era, and America has the pole position with Tesla. “Get somebody to start those robots and you’re going to have to improve the robots. But we’re going to have robotic factories plus manpower. So we’re going to have enough. We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, I guess you could say, employment. We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things. But the beauty is we’re going to have more jobs than we’ve ever had.” - Donald Trump

Don't sleep on humanoid robots. Humanoid robots are going to play a profound role in our lives, and it will likely be sooner than most expect. I discuss some pivotal questions with jimmah in my effort to gain insight and clarity: - How do you evaluate Tesla's (and other companies') progress with humanoid robots? - Who will be the winner? Or will there be multiple big winners? - How long will it take until we see millions of humanoid robots produced annually? - What's harder for humanoid robots - the hardware of software? - How can we track progress across humanoid robot companies? - What's the next big milestones or demonstrations Tesla can show? If you're going to spend an hour listening/watching anything online this week, I highly recommend this!

Turning video into humanoid robot motion! 🤳🏼 Training humanoid robots needs huge amounts of motion data, but real-world capture doesn’t scale. Mocap is expensive, dangerous edge cases are rare, and you can’t ask humans to repeatedly fall or crash. Video2Robot tackles this by converting videos into physics-grounded humanoid simulations. Motion is generated to respect balance, inertia, ground contact, and joint limits, then directly retargeted to robot simulators. One prompt can generate a full humanoid motion sequence, including multi-agent interactions and failure cases like falls or collisions, scenarios that are hard or impossible to capture safely in the real world. The pipeline is model-agnostic and works with existing video generators, making it a practical way to scale data for robots. If robots are going to operate in the real world, they need to be trained on the failures too, not just the perfect demos.

China unveils humanoid robot with lifelike skin and blinking eyes built for daily life | Prabhat Ranjan Mishra, Interesting Engineering Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) help process and interpret complex data from human interactions. A Shanghai-based company has developed humanoid robots that appear as real as humans. The advanced bionic humanoid robot is integrated with self-supervised AI algorithms. Named Elf V1, the robot can perceive the world, communicate, learn, and interact intelligently with its surroundings. Developed by AheadForm Technology, the robot offers up to 30 degrees of freedom, powered by a precise control system and an advanced AI learning algorithm. Robot offers expressive facial features The robot offers expressive facial features, moving eyes, and synchronized speech. It can also convey emotions and understand human non-verbal cues, making interactions more natural and engaging. The robot has highly interactive capabilities and lifelike appearances. AheadForm expects that its robots could soon seamlessly integrate into daily life, providing assistance, companionship, and support across various industries. “We believe that by developing realistic and expressive robot heads, we can bridge the gap between humans and machines, fostering a new era of interactive and intelligent robotics,” said the company in a statement. Reports revealed that to avoid the “uncanny valley” effect and be able to interact with us, they are given lifelike skin and capabilities to read our emotions and respond appropriately using dynamic expression simulation and emotion generation tech. Bionic skin and high-precision control system The Elf V1 series of humanoids features 30 facial muscles animated by brushless micro-motors and managed by a high-precision control system. Paired with an ability to detect their users’ emotions with low latency and bionic skin, their facial expressions are nearly identical to those of humans, reported CGTN. The company claims it’s pioneering the development of realistic humanoid robots designed to revolutionize human-robot interaction. It’s enhancing sophisticated humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact seamlessly with humans. By combining cutting-edge AI and advanced robotics, AheadForm aims to bring life to machines and transform how humans engage with technology. AI models boost robots’ responsiveness Seamless integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into the humanoid robots can help them process and interpret complex data from human interactions, enabling the robot to learn and adapt in real-time, achieving human-level understanding and responsiveness. AheadForm uses Brushless Motors that deliver ultra-quiet operation and high responsiveness, specifically designed for precision facial movements in humanoid robots. With its compact size, lightweight design, and energy efficiency, this motor is the ideal choice for next-generation robots that require precise, subtle facial control to create a truly human-like experience. Previously, the company unveiled the Lan Series that features realistic humanoid robots with soft skin and 10 degrees of freedom, offering a lifelike appearance and intuitive movements. This series is designed for cost-efficiency, for applications prioritizing mobility and manipulation.

ELON: AI AND ROBOTS WILL CREATE AN AGE OF ABUNDANCE "I think that there's no actual limit to the size of the economy once you have general purpose humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles. You can build anything. The economy is really just the average productivity per person times number of people. That's the economy, and if you've got humanoid robots where there's no real limit on the number of humanoid robots and they can operate very intelligently, then there's no meaningful limit to the economy. The good future of AI is one of immense prosperity, where there is an age of abundance, no shortage of goods and services. Everyone can have whatever they want, anything that is a manufactured good or provided service. With the advent of AI plus robotics, the cost of goods and services will trend to zero."

Figure founder Brett Adcock: “We look at the distribution of what humans do that is useful, and we [designed our humanoid] to do as much of that as possible.” “These things where we run marathons, or we do backflips, or we do karate moves—they’re not in the main part of the distribution. They don’t matter. And if you really want to size for those, you’re going to build a really expensive and unsafe robot that’s hard to manufacture.” “People want the $10,000 humanoid that can do general-purpose work. We want it to do laundry and dishes and be a companion. I want to ship robots at scale into the workforce to do logistics and healthcare, and build buildings and data centers.” "I don't need [our humanoid] to do backflips to do any of that work. I want robots building other robots."

Again, people should really pay attention to the Chinese company Unitree making these robots (and selling them - by the thousands - to consumers for a rather low $1,300): The founder is on the record saying that he ultimately wants to create "general-purpose household robots that can assist homeowners in various tasks such as washing dishes, cleaning floors, making beds and cooking". In short the humanoid helper robots that we've been seeing in sci-fi movies for decades. At this stage, if any company in the world has a shot of getting there first, it's probably them.

A McDonald's in Shanghai has begun deploying humanoid robots (from KEENON Robotics) to serve customers. > These humanoid robots provide information, greet guests, and help enliven the atmosphere. > Food delivery robots serve meals to customers and collect used trays. in the future, fully automated, staff-less McDonald's locations may soon become a reality. A single store might require very few human employees, with even the kitchen operations entrusted to intelligent robotic systems. (Of course, the success of this initiative relies heavily on the seamless synergy between AI and digital systems.)

Brain-controlled exoskeletons to train humanoid robots! 🧠 Fourier just presented human tele-operators using brain control interfaces and exoskeletal arms to train humanoid robots on home tasks. The brain control interface is the interesting part. Instead of using a controller or joystick to teleoperate, the operator's movements and intentions are captured more naturally through the exoskeleton and BCI. This means the demonstrations are more fluid, more human-like, and better suited for training robots to perform delicate home tasks. Multiple tele-operators are simultaneously generating training data across multiple robots. This is how you build the dataset needed for eventual full autonomy, without waiting years for it to arrive. This might be the bridge between "robots that work in controlled environments" and "robots that work in homes." Not full autonomy right away, but trusted human intelligence operating through a robot body, getting better with every task completed. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Elon Musk: Goods and services will be available to everyone. It's going to be a very different world. “Once you have humanoid robots and deep intelligence, you basically have quasi-infinite products and services available. With Tesla building the most advanced humanoid robot, then those humanoid robots can be directed by deep intelligence at the data center level. You can produce any product or provide any service. There's really no limit to the economy at that point. At that point, will money even be meaningful? It might not be. Because the economic output is productivity per capita times capita. And if you have no meaningful limit on the number of robots and the robots can basically do anything, then you'll have a universal high-income situation. Anyone will be able to have as many products and services as they want, except for things that have artificial scarcity, like a particular piece of art. But for any goods and services, they'll be available to everyone. It's going to be a very different world.” Dubai World Government Summit, February 13, 2025
