@kscalelabs @ycombinator Yeah me also. Silicon Valley started in a garage nearby. To have a half dozen 3D printers is pretty cool. Still takes a few days to print a robot.

@kscalelabs @ycombinator The robot doesn't move at all in the video which isn't a great choice imo.

Just a little taste of the Robohacks hackathon happening now at Y Combinator in San Francisco. This is only two of the teams. The first is a team building a robot for an AirBnb on Mars. The second built a system that 3D prints new tools for the robot to do new work on Mars. Both demonstrate why I love builders so much. Dreaming of a new world and learning together how to build for a new robot none of them have used before.

First look at Persona AI's Gen1 humanoid robot and a sneak peek at their tendon-driven hand. In 2025, the company closed $42M in pre-seed funding and signed an agreement with HD Hyundai subsidiaries to develop and deploy humanoids for shipyard welding tasks. The startup was founded by Jerry Pratt, former CTO of Figure AI, and Nic Radford, former NASA roboticist and entrepreneur. The company is headquartered in Houston, TX, and has a office in Pensacola, FL.

This is not for people who build World Models. I get an exclusive look inside one of the best AI labs in the world in Silicon Valley, Institute of Foundation Models, and talk with Hector Liu, Hector Liu, who leads World Model research there. These will be the “brains” of humanoid robots, and the key tech for all sorts of other things. I met with him to try to figure out how far away a truly generalized robot is. More on this lab and what they do at:

The first-ever demo of paying a humanoid robot with $XRT. On January 8, anyone strolling down the main street of Las Vegas had the chance to meet the humanoid robot R.Turbo, shake its hand, and experience something we all dream of seeing in our cities: paying for a service, not to a person, but to a robot that looks remarkably human. Day two of #CES2025 has come to a close, and our humanoid is now recharging and undergoing maintenance ahead of tomorrow's stage performance. Stay tuned for updates! And for those in Las Vegas, join us at the evening event featuring Robonomics:

$RKLB Neutron will be the largest carbon fiber structure to ever fly once it's completed. Some critics say it's not realistic because it would be the first carbon fiber structure of that size to fly, but I'd argue Rocket Lab is pretty good at firsts: "We were the first to 3D print a rocket engine and put it into orbit. We were the first to do an all carbon composite rocket and put it into orbit. We were the first to do all fiber optically networked avionics suite on a launch vehicle and put it into orbit." — Sir Peter Beck, Rocket Lab CEO

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.

Godfather of AI Yann LeCun reveals the humanoid robot industry's secret: the companies building the robots have no idea how to make them smart enough to be useful. "There is a lot of expectations that robotics is going to be a revolution, essentially, in a big market, eventually." "But the secret of the industry is that none of the companies at the moment that are building robots, like humanoid robots, none of those companies has any idea how to make those robots smart enough to be useful." "There's a big push for AI to make progress towards... understanding the physical world. That's what is prompting this investment." "There's nothing wrong with investing in LLMs. LLMs are useful. They're just addressing a completely different set of applications, really." LeCun is not describing someone else's problem. He has spent 15 years on world models, raised more than $1 billion for AMI Labs to build that missing intelligence layer, and in the same interview he calls 2026 the year of the world model and puts consumer robots 3 to 5 years out. Every humanoid robot demo you have seen is a body waiting for a brain. The winner in robotics will not be the company that shipped the body; it will be the one that ships the intelligence. - Yann LeCun (Yann LeCun), Turing Award winner and founder of AMI Labs, on Bloomberg Television.

In France, construction has been completed of the largest 3D-printed residential building in Europe The project includes 12 social housing apartments across three floors. The company Plurial Novilia built it in 34 days instead of the planned 50. The entire process was supervised by only three operators. This is the first case in France where 3D printing was used not only for walls but also for the building’s load-bearing structures. Next to it stands a similar building constructed using traditional methods — it took about three months longer to build. In the future, the developer plans to scale up the project and further speed up construction.

Q: I’m 19 today and want to have a big impact on the world. Should I start a company? Even though Mark Zuckerberg was 19 when he started Facebook, he advises not turning your idea into a company until it’s working: “I always think the most important thing entrepreneurs should do is pick something they care about and work on it, but don’t actually commit to turning it into a company until it’s working. If you look at the data of the very best companies, I think a tremendous percentage of them have been built that way and not from people who decided upfront that they wanted to start a company because you just get locked into a local maxima a lot of the time.” Sam Altman agrees. Facebook didn’t become a formal company until 6 months in when Peter Thiel invested. In fact, Mark and Dustin Moskovitz even told Peter that they were still planning on going back to school for their Fall semester. Paul Graham gives similar advice in his essay “Want to start a startup?”: “So if you want to start a startup one day, what should you do in college? There are only two things you need initially: an idea and cofounders… [and] the way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas… if you make a conscious effort to think of startup ideas, the ideas you come up with will not merely be bad, but bad and plausible-sounding, meaning you'll waste a lot of time on them before realizing they're bad. The way to come up with good startup ideas is to take a step back. Instead of making a conscious effort to think of startup ideas, turn your mind into the type that startup ideas form in without any conscious effort. In fact, so unconsciously that you don't even realize at first that they're startup ideas. This is not only possible, it's how Apple, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook all got started. None of these companies were even meant to be companies at first. They were all just side projects. The best startups almost have to start as side projects, because great ideas tend to be such outliers that your conscious mind would reject them as ideas for companies.”

🎙️ I talked with Benjamin Bolte, founder of K-Scale Labs, who left Meta to build something he actually believes in: an open-source humanoid robot! After working on Autopilot at Tesla, he saw the inside of Optimus and decided the big players were getting it wrong. Benjamin walks me through how he built the first robot with Alibaba parts and 3D-printed parts in his apartment, why raising too much money too early is a trap, and how soldering wires all night helped him remember why he’s doing this in the first place. He’s not chasing prestige or funding rounds. He’s trying to ship a $9K robot that can do your laundry. We talk about his time at Tesla and Meta, how he thinks about mortality, the power of conviction, why open-source matters, and what it really takes to build hardware that people want to own.

JUST IN: Unitree Robotics just unveiled the GD01, a manned "mecha" robot that transforms between two legs and four legs in real time. This is not a concept. This is a product. Starting price: $574,000. This robot weighs 500kg, is built from high-strength alloy, and has a torso-mounted cockpit. The demo video shows it walking upright, knocking down a brick wall with its hand, then reconfiguring into a four-legged crawl. Unitree calls it the world's first mass-produced transformable mecha. But the real story here is the bigger picture. Chinese companies accounted for nearly 90% of global humanoid robot sales in 2025. Unitree alone shipped 5,500+ humanoid robots last year. In the same period, Tesla, Figure AI and Agility Robotics each shipped around 150. And Unitree is now filing for an IPO on Shanghai's Star Market, targeting 4.2 billion yuan, 85% of which goes straight into R&D. The West is building incredible humanoid robots. China is building them faster, cheaper and at a scale nobody else is close to matching. Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

20 years ago, every founder feared one tech company: Google. Even when Patrick Collison (CEO of Stripe) was building a startup back then, he got the same question in every meeting: "What if Google does this ?" But the truth is, Google still didn't build most of what people expected. Because no company can chase 100 priorities at once. Cause the teams get in each other's way, and everything slows down. Today the same question is aimed at the AI labs. Patrick is honest that better models will wipe out some products. That part is real. But the fear is far bigger than the record deserves. — Patrick Collison (.Patrick Collison), founder of Stripe, at Y Combinator's startup school

11 m/s? Bolt, why didn’t you run the Beijing humanoid robot marathon? 🤖🏃‍♂️ MirrorMe just posted a new video of its full-size humanoid robot Bolt hitting 11 m/s indoors. In outdoor 100-meter testing, Bolt has also pushed to 10 m/s. That number says everything. Back in February, MirrorMe introduced Bolt as a speed-first humanoid: 177 cm tall, 75 kg, built around a 10 m/s peak-speed target. For a humanoid robot, this is not fast walking. This is sprint territory. MirrorMe has been chasing robot speed since 2016. From Black Panther II to Bolt, the direction is clear: push robotic locomotion closer to elite human athletic performance. Now Bolt has moved from a 10 m/s debut to an indoor 11 m/s run. So I only have one question: Why wasn’t this robot on the Beijing humanoid robot marathon track?

.travis kalanick on why specialized robots beat humanoids for real work: "I'm not anti-humanoid, I'm non-humanoid. There are tasks that are good for humanoids, low scale, high diversity, in human environments, humanoid all the way. But the minute you have a machine doing a high-scale task, we're no longer in humanoid land, we're in specialized robotics land." "There was a moment nine months ago where humanoids were the mega rage of all time. When your hairdresser says he's getting into the humanoid business, we know something's wrong." "If I had to make 1,000 pancakes an hour, I'd never have a humanoid do it, you'd need 100 humanoids going gg-gg-gg. It's like the humanoid Olympics in Beijing, they're doing the marathon and it's cool, but all I could think is, imagine if you put wheels on them. Would you ever put a humanoid in a car to drive it?" "High scale, repetitive tasks do not need to be in human form, and they won't be, because humans are meant to do lots of things at low scale."
