Finally, someone automating the boring infrastructure stuff! 🫟 Road markings is tough. Nobody cares about them until they're gone. Then suddenly everyone's mad. But someone has to paint those lines, in traffic, in bad weather, repetitively. So 10LINES built a robot that just... does it. Workers don't have to...

China is crazy. 🤯 Forget a classical grippers, and welcome to era of humanoid acting as EOATs. Someone thinking about the gripper, actually said: you know what, let's just stick half a humanoid in there and that'll solve the problem. Humanoid torso from LimX Dynamics mounted on a 6-axis industrial robot arm wasn't on my 2026 bingo, but I'll take it. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Six arms instead of two! 🤯 Midea Group humanoid robot has six arms instead of two. It handles heavy components with lower limbs and performs fine assembly work with upper limbs. Full 360-degree rotation, stable vertical lifting, rapid tool-swapping. The robot handles workstation transitions that would typically require multiple human workers or separate machines. So no idle-time between stations. Pretty cool. But I'm really curious about the cost, and how this 6-arms robot compares to a regular robot arm, and then to a regular humanoid What do yo think? Overcomplicated? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This is what open robotics actually looks like! 🔓 I was in Bordeaux, sitting inside Pollen Robotics, and had a chance to play around with their humanoid robot Reachy 2. It’s expressive, modular, and can even bring you coffee, and of course runs Python or Rust. I was talking with Reachy in 3 different languages, tele-operating it and manipulating kitchen stuff, and make it even mimic my gestures. The best part is that there are no locked APIs, or hidden stuff, just an open platform that you can build upon. The connection with Hugging Face makes it super easy to start, as the open source approach allows everyone to contribute, experiment and add their own things. I already ordered his little brother Reachy Mini, let's see what a robotics rookie can do with that robot! 👀 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This robot is playing Tetris! 🧊 AGILOX dropped something exciting at LogiMAT. One of the most requested robot use cases finally automated: Manual truck loading. What I'm really impressed of is the high precision positioning of pallets directly next to the truck or container wall. It's 2026 and I love that fact that AMR companies are not just moving goods from A to B anymore, but they innovate and look for more value-adding tasks across logistics sites and manufacturing plants! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

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 →

A versatile robot helping out airports! 🛩️ Meet a two-wheeled robot from Fraunhofer IML! 🦿 This balancing robot with gripping arms successfully completed its initial practical tests at the cargo terminal of Munich Airport a while ago. It transported goods, supported loading and unloading, and assisted with physically demanding logistics tasks. This robot can carry loads of up to 100 kg and reach speeds of around 60 km/h. That’s far beyond what most AMRs can handle, yet it still has arms and a form of mobility that lets it work in spaces designed for people. P.S. What other applications would you use this robot for?! 🦾 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

A 40-year-old patent has finally been brought to life. That's the Y-zipper. A 3D-printed three-sided fastener that transitions any object from flexible to rigid and back again. The robotics application is the one that caught my attention. A quadruped robot that adjusts its leg stiffness depending on terrain, switching between rigid and flexible in real time without additional motors or complex mechanical systems. But this goes way beyond robotics. A wrist cast that loosens during the day and stiffens at night. A tent that pops into shape in 90 seconds instead of six minutes. The idea sat in a patent filing for four decades. It took 3D printing to finally make it real. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This robot explores the world like a mouse! 🐁 That's an OG project, guess the year ;) A mouse-inspired bot called WhiskEye travels the world with 24 artificial whiskers and spiking neurons that mimic a nervous system. Recognizing familiar places is essential for engineering applications like robot navigation, where interactions with the real world are key. Combining information from multiple senses helps to make better accuracy and robustness, but challenges like mismatched data and sensor errors complicate this process. Inspired by how animals navigate seamlessly, researchers developed predictive coding, a self-supervised learning method based on the brain's visual cortex model. It combines visual and tactile cues from a robot, outperforming existing methods in recognizing places, even when some sensors fail. What a great project from BristolRoboticsLab and Sheffield Robotics! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

A humanoidal welder! 👨🏼‍🏭 Persona AI deployed their humanoid to a real welding facility in Houston and executed an actual weld. All of that in a hot-work industrial environment with arc flash, smoke, and uneven flooring. The robot squats down, executes the weld with a steady arc, stands back up. Functional welding requires multi-joint precision, spatial awareness, and real-time path correction. The robot had to hold a lit torch, maintain arc stability, and lay down a valid weld path. The motion is choppy. They're honest about that. But they proved the robot can handle the full sequence that actual industrial work demands. Get low, do precision work, stand up, move to the next spot. That's the rhythm of real welding jobs. Teleoperation is their training method. VR headset interface captures expert demonstrations. Those become the data to train neural networks toward eventual autonomy. This is what deploying into real facilities means. That's a nice one gents Nicolaus Radford!

Robotics is entering the mainstream! 👀 Let's accept this fact. Consumptionism – stonks. Possibilities (HW + SW) – stonks. Demographics - not stonks. Modern robots are often designed to interact with our legacy world, whether it's a household, a factory, or a shipyard. That means they often need to work with existing machines, tools, and spaces. In short: retrofitting. Improving old machines with new technologies without major interference in their operation. Modern way of integrating things. You don't have to change the entire environment to deploy a robot. The robot will adapt, just as human would when freshly hired. The promise is to have an army of robots to help with the world designed for us. I also believe that general purpose robots, are not a direct competition for single purpose machines (like a highly efficient specialized packaging machine, for example). It's like adding a robot to this carriage. Specialized machine could be a car ;) ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Feeling what a robot feels is becoming real! 🫰 Fluid Reality just ran its first full end-to-end touch teleoperation system, and the demo shows why high-resolution haptics might be the missing piece in robot control. A 22 mm fingertip display with 32 independently actuated “bubbles” was mapped directly to tactile sensors on a robot hand. 🫧 Three fingers streamed real-time touch data robot → human, giving the operator actual contact feedback instead of waving their hands blind, like most teleop systems today. It’s still early, but this is a real step toward dexterous ops and high-quality data for training Physical AI systems. Companies involved: Samsung Electronics, Alt-Bionics, Inc. (the robot hand), MANUS™ (hand tracking), and Sensible Robotics (fingertip sensors) Touch isn’t a nice-to-have in robotics. It’s the difference between manipulation that works in the real world P.S. Guess how many touch receptors we humans, have in our hand! :) ~~ ♻ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Unloading trucks with robots! 📦 Bastian Solutions has developed a mobile robot system that automates high-volume, floor-level unloading of trailers. Let's have a closer look at how it actually works! The robot seamlessly drives itself in and out of trailers and docks without any fixed infrastructure. This system picks up cases via an extendable conveyor, lifts them using a retractable mast, and accurately places them inside the trailer using a dedicated gripper. In the video you can see the reversed process, unloading of a truck. 🚛 It's guided by LiDAR-based navigation and an omnidirectional base, enabling fast, precise, and infrastructure-free operation. Integrates smoothly with existing systems like conveyors, scanners, sorters, and depalletizers. Every time I see a robot loading and unloading a truck, I'm like: we are getting there :) ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Awesome Robotics! 💾 Building your own robot just got a lot easier. MathWorks have released an open-source GitHub repository packed with robotics resources for anyone interested in getting hands-on. The repo includes examples for robot arms, ground vehicles, and drones, with projects that show how to connect with ROS and ROS2 or even deploy Simulink models directly as ROS nodes. There are also more advanced demos, like modeling off-road environments and testing navigation algorithms in photorealistic simulations. Everything is well-documented, with tutorials and links that make it easy to go from concept to prototype. 📑 Whether you’re a student, researcher, or just curious, there’s material here for every level. And since it’s an open community project, you can not only explore but also share your own contributions. For anyone looking to learn robotics by doing, this is a solid place to start!

Smart mapping for robots exploring huge areas! 🗺️ This is called Rolling-Bonxai. When a drone or ground robot maps a massive area, say a whole city or massive warehouse, storing the entire map in memory gets expensive fast. You run out of RAM. This solution is simple, only keep the nearby map in memory. As the robot moves, old chunks save to disk and new chunks load. Like how video games only render what's close to the player. The system divides the map into chunks (imagine a 3D grid of boxes). As the robot explores, it keeps chunks around it loaded in memory. Chunks it's moving away from get saved to disk. When it comes back, they load again. Check the GH repo here 👉🏼 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

China’s traffic-robot isn’t the point. The point is this: Robots in China are evolving the way smartphones did: quietly, rapidly, and everywhere at once. While the West is still debating “AI ethics” like it’s a philosophy seminar, China is already turning robots into: • street officers • delivery workers • cleaners • inspectors • hospital assistants • public-service infrastructure Not because it’s “cool,” but because the cost, governance, and scale actually make deployment possible. Meanwhile in America, the country that should be using robots in law enforcement, even the idea is taboo. And let’s be honest: A robot wouldn’t shoot someone because of their skin color. A robot wouldn’t choke a man over a broken taillight. A robot wouldn’t fire 30 rounds because it “felt threatened.” A robot doesn’t vote, doesn’t join a party, and doesn’t turn policing into a frontline of political tribalism. For all the Western talk about “AI ethics,” it’s China where robots enter public service, and the US where humans with guns still behave like malfunctioning algorithms. The future won’t belong to the countries that talk the most about technology, but to those that can actually use it to make society safer instead of bloodier. Robots won’t replace humans, they’ll just replace the parts of humanity that should’ve been retired long ago.

Stairs, ramps, uneven terrain, navigated zero-shot, trained entirely in simulation, deployed directly to hardware with no real-world fine-tuning. Brett Adcock has been clear about the plan: every robot that rolls off the line is a data-collection engine. The bigger the fleet, the faster the AI improves. The faster the AI improves, the more deployable the robot becomes. This is the flywheel. And it is now spinning. The humanoid robot race just got very serious. VERY INTERESTING.
