A new member joins the European humanoid robot team. German company Agile Robotics has launched its first industrial humanoid robot, Agile One, featuring intuitive human-robot interaction, dexterous hands (for grasping small screws and touching the screen), and AI-driven operation trained in the real world. It performs tasks such as material collection, handling, picking and placing, loading and unloading machine tools, tool handling, and precision operations. The emergence of humanoid robots by industrial robot companies is a natural progression; they are designed for areas inaccessible to traditional robotic arms and industrial robots, extending operational systems and enhancing business collaboration capabilities. Agile One will be manufactured in Germany in early 2026 and deployed for on-site training at customers to enhance its AI model capabilities. Soon, Europe will enter its second wave of automation driven by intelligent technology.

AGIBOT has unveiled AGILE (AgiBot Generative Intelligent Locomotion Engine), a perception-control foundation model for whole-body humanoid locomotion. - It fuses visual perception, balance, and motion planning end-to-end, replacing the traditional split between "seeing" and "moving." - The robot reads terrain and obstacles in real time and adjusts its gait with no preset trajectories. - It runs on local compute with millisecond-level response and works across AGIBOT's lineup (A1/A2/A3, X2). AGILE is the locomotion "cerebellum" that complements AGIBOT's Genie Operator "brain."

Video: World’s first humanoid robot labor that swaps its own batteries to work endlessly | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Walker S2 uses dual-battery balancing and standardized modules to boost efficiency and ensure uninterrupted, optimized performance. In a leap for robotics, China’s UBTech has unveiled the Walker S2, the world’s first humanoid robot capable of fully autonomous battery swapping. Designed for non-stop industrial operations, the Walker S2 can replace its own power pack in just three minutes—no human intervention required. Equipped with advanced anthropomorphic bipedal locomotion and a hot-swappable battery system, Walker S2 is built to operate 24/7 across dynamic industrial environments. According to UBTech, the next-generation humanoid robot marks a major milestone in automation, bringing continuous, hands-free performance to the factory floor. In May 2025, UBTech Robotics and Huawei Technologies inked a significant partnership to accelerate the adoption of humanoid robots across China’s factories and households. Uninterrupted robot operations A video posted by the robotics firm opens with the sleek UBTech Walker S2 humanoid robot working in an industrial setting. The highlight, however, is its autonomous battery swap. Walker S2 approaches the charging station, carefully detaches its depleted power pack, and seamlessly installs a fresh one—all within about three minutes—without any human assistance, according to CGTN. The camera captures close-ups of the robot’s articulated limbs and the intelligent battery-handling mechanism, conveying precision and reliability. As the swap completes, Walker S2 resumes its duties, reinforcing the promise of uninterrupted, 24/7 operations in dynamic factory environments. UBTech’s Walker S2 humanoid robot is equipped with advanced dual-battery power balancing technology and uses standardized battery modules to optimize performance, reports CNEVPOST. This dual-battery system allows the robot to automatically switch to a backup battery in case of a main battery failure, ensuring that critical tasks are carried out without interruption. In addition to battery swapping, the robot can intelligently choose between charging and swapping based on task urgency, allowing it to manage energy dynamically and adapt to real-time operational demands. UBTech highlights these features as a step forward in deploying humanoid robots for industrial and domestic applications, combining flexibility, reliability, and autonomy in one intelligent platform. Factory intelligence upgrade Earlier in the year, UBTech unveiled a major advancement in humanoid robot collaboration, claiming the world’s first deployment of multiple humanoids working together across varied industrial tasks. Demonstrated at Zeekr’s 5G-enabled smart factory, the breakthrough centers on UBTech’s “BrainNet” framework, which orchestrates cooperative behavior through a cloud-device intelligence system. BrainNet integrates a “super brain” for high-level decision-making with an “intelligent sub-brain” for distributed multi-robot control. The super brain, powered by a proprietary large-scale multimodal reasoning model, handles complex production-line scheduling and decision-making. Meanwhile, the sub-brain coordinates real-time tasks using cross-field perception and Transformer-based control for dynamic adaptability. Together, they enable the Walker S1 humanoid robots to move beyond isolated operations and perform coordinated tasks with high precision and speed. The system is built on DeepSeek-R1 reasoning technology and trained on real-world data from automotive factory settings. Leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the model adapts to specific job functions and improves scalability across workstations. At Zeekr’s facility, dozens of Walker S1s now collaborate on tasks like assembly, inspection, and part handling. Using semantic VSLAM and shared mapping, they coordinate seamlessly via vision-based navigation and agile manipulation. UBTech says this marks a transition to “Practical Training 2.0,” where humanoid robots operate as a swarm, maximizing efficiency and setting the stage for next-generation intelligent manufacturing.

The humanoid robot Lingxi X2 can easily dodge thrown balls… powered by AGIBOT’s newly launched AGILE perception-motion foundation model. With this motion intelligence, it can avoid interference and make real-time perceptual adjustments when working in complex environments. I’m curious whether it could dodge a human’s flying kick? (They always seem to kick humanoid robots during testing.)

China-based TARS Robotics demonstrated a humanoid robot performing two-handed hand embroidery during a public showcase on December 22, marking a notable step in fine motor control for humanoid systems. The robot threaded a needle and stitched a logo using both hands with sub-millimeter accuracy, working with soft, flexible materials that are difficult for traditional industrial robots to handle due to deformation and variability. According to the company, this capability is enabled by a closed-loop "Data-Al-Physics" system that connects real-world data collection, embodied Al models, and physical execution, reducing the gap between simulation and real deployment. The models are said to be open source when released. Founded in February 2025, TARS Robotics has moved quickly from research to live demonstrations and has raised over $240 million in early funding from the Chinese government, reflecting growing interest in general-purpose humanoid robots for precision and dexterous tasks.

Humanoid robots playing table tennis fully autonomously. The 'HITTER' system combines a model-based planner with a reinforcement learning (RL) whole-body controller. It is fully autonomous but relies on an external sensing system. A 9-camera OptiTrack motion capture setup tracks the ball, which is covered with reflective markers, to predict its precise trajectory and compute the optimal strike position, velocity, and timing. The RL controller then executes coordinated arm, leg, and waist movements, producing agile, human-like returns.
