ELON: THANKS TO HUMANOID ROBOTS, NO ONE WILL WANT FOR ANYTHING “Once you have humanoid robots, the actual economic output potential is tremendous. It's really unlimited. Potentially, we could have an economy 10 times the size of the current global economy where no one wants for anything. Sometimes in AI they talk about universal basic income. I think it's actually going to be universal high income where anyone can have any goods or services that they want.” Source: Interview US-Saudi Forum, May 2025

Someone paid $6,000 (!) to get OpenClaw setup. So I built a free, open-source alternative: > OpenClaw Operator It's an agent skill + AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md file that gives Codex/Claude Code the playbooks + validation flow needed to configure your local OpenClaw install. You open your OpenClaw repo/workspace in your coding agent and say things like: - “set up a cron job” - “create a custom skill” - “fix my provider config” - “troubleshoot this install and validate it” Nothing magical. Uses context from the OpenClaw open-source repo + docs to provide an effective skill. Includes: - SKILL.md - AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md - validation checklist - task playbooks Free and open source. Contributions welcome. Demo below. Repo in reply.

🇨🇳CHINA WANTS ROBOTS THAT LOOK LIKE US China is pouring money into humanoid robots. Nearly 900,000 companies are working on them, and they are already showing up in car factories, tech expos, and even student competitions. The big advantage is flexibility. Unlike machines built for one task, humanoids can adapt to different jobs in human-designed spaces, from assembly lines to dangerous tunnels. Analysts expect China’s humanoid robot market to hit $1 billion this year, almost half of the global total. With an aging population, robots could become essential helpers. Source: CGTN

X-Humanoid unveiled TG-VLA, which it calls the world's first whole-body VLA framework for full-size humanoid robots. The goal: move humanoids past "mobile dual-arm systems" to human-like, whole-body coordinated operation. Built on three technologies: - HEX: an open-source full-size humanoid VLA that learns across embodiments and coordinates the whole body. Claimed SOTA on real-world whole-body manipulation - HAF-VLA: hierarchical action flow that decomposes whole-body motion into subtasks. Best or joint-best on 6 benchmarks - DSRL-DCT: online RL for high-DoF humanoids in a compressed latent space. 100% success on mobile manipulation HEX is open-source.

Meet Sprout: The NYC-Built Humanoid Designed to Live Among Us 🤖🫶 New York-based Fauna Robotics just pulled the curtain back on Sprout, a humanoid platform built specifically for the spaces we actually live in—homes, schools, and offices. Standing 3.5 feet tall (approx. 107 cm), Sprout isn't a shrunk-down factory machine; it’s a lightweight, soft-touch robot designed with zero pinch points or sharp edges. ➤ Built for Builders: This is a "canvas" for developers. Fauna provides movement, perception, and navigation right out of the box, allowing researchers to skip the basics and focus on high-level apps like manipulation and voice interfaces without worrying about the robot falling over. ➤ Socially Approachable: Sprout features an expressive face to communicate intent and moves quietly to blend into social settings. Instead of keeping humans behind safety cages, the team designed Sprout to be something people actually want to lean in and say hello to. ➤ A Trustworthy Foundation: With 80% of the workforce in services, Fauna is targeting urgent needs in healthcare and eldercare. By keeping engineering and manufacturing in NYC, veterans from Meta, DeepMind, and Amazon are building a durable, affordable foundation for the future of human-robot interaction.

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?

Markdown was doomed from the start. It's just a format with low information density. HTML is better for humans, and agents can now consume and produce it without issues. But nobody wants to type HTML, so here is an alternative: This is an open-source tool for generating dashboards from data without writing a single HTML tag. You define your dashboard in YAML or TSK, and the tool will serve the HTML file for you. It comes with skills for Claude Code and Codex, so they know how to build these dashboards. And you can connect this to Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, and many other databases. Repo link below.

Another headless wheeled humanoid Shenzhen VLAI Robotics just released a pretty pragmatic humanoid robot called L1. I checked the price, starting at RMB 28,800($4,188). wheeled base + height-adjustable dual arms.Anyone can be built into a household assistant:fetching water, tidying up the kitchen and living room, doing laundry, and more. >Dual arms with 16 DOF, bionic-style structure, capable of relatively fine tasks like grasping and plug-in operations >Adjustable arm height (~70–160 cm), covering both tabletop and standing work >Differential-drive wheeled base, 100 kg payload, simple but well-suited for indoor use, supports working while moving >Open interfaces + teleoperation/data collection. L1 feels more like a development platform than a finished product Beyond household humanoids, developers can build specialized humanoid robots tailored to a wide range of scenarios,from scientific research and manufacturing to warehousing, retail, and caregiving... We’re already seeing quite a few robots in this form factor. While some are pushing toward full humanoids, this “less-human” approach might actually reach real-world deployment sooner. --- (Shenzhen truly is a home for humanoid robots,it seems as though a new humanoid robot company could spring into existence at any moment.）

Chandrayaan-3 Mission: In-situ Scientific Experiments Another instrument onboard the Rover confirms the presence of Sulphur (S) in the region, through another technique. The Alpha Particle X-ray Spectroscope (APXS) has detected S, as well as other minor elements. This finding by Ch-3 compels scientists to develop fresh explanations for the source of Sulphur (S) in the area: intrinsic?, volcanic?, meteoritic?,......?. The video shows an automated hinge mechanism rotating the 18 cm tall APXS, aligning the detector head to be approximately 5 cm in proximity to the lunar surface. PRL, Ahmedabad has developed APXS with support from PRL, Ahmedabad. URSC, Bengaluru has developed the deployment mechanism.

He said robotics will not just replace jobs, it will create entirely new ones, from technicians to designers: “I’m super excited about the robots Elon’s working on. It’s still a few years away, but when it happens, there’s a whole new industry of technicians and people who have to manufacture the robots. That job never existed before. You know, all the mechanics and people who built things for cars, that didn’t exist before cars. Now we’re going to have robots. You’re going to have robot apparel. A whole industry.
