NEWS: Figure has unveiling its 3rd generation humanoid robot. • Features a completely redesigned sensory suite and hand system. Wireless charging in feet. • Next-generation vision system engineered for high-frequency visuomotor control. Its new camera architecture delivers twice the frame rate, one-quarter the latency, and a 60% wider field... of view per camera within a more compact form factor • Soft goods, wireless charging, improved audio system for voice reasoning, and battery safety advancements • "Engineered from the ground-up for high-volume manufacturing. In order to scale, we established a new supply chain and entirely new process for manufacturing humanoid robots at BotQ." • Lower manufacturing cost • Softer, more adaptive fingertips increase surface contact area, enabling more stable grasps across objects of varied shapes and sizes. Each fingertip sensor can detect forces as small as three grams of pressure - sensitive enough to register the weight of a paperclip resting on your finger. • Multi-density foam to protect against pinch points, and is covered in soft textiles rather than hard machined parts. 9% less mass and less volume than Figure 02 • 10 Gbps mmWave data offload capability, allowing the entire fleet to upload terabytes of data • Upgraded audio hardware system for better real time speech-to-speech. Its speaker is twice the size and nearly four times more powerful, while the microphone has been repositioned for improved performance and clarity. • Charging coils in the robot’s feet allow it to simply step onto a wireless stand and charge at 2 kW Figure: "BotQ is Figure’s dedicated manufacturing facility designed to scale robot production. BotQ’s first-generation manufacturing line will initially be capable of producing up to 12,000 humanoid robots per year, with the goal of producing a total of 100,000 robots over the next four years. Instead of relying on contract manufacturers, Figure brought production of its most critical systems in-house to maintain tight control over quality, iteration, and speed."show more

Shanghai MATRIX ROBOTICS has released a video of its new generation general-purpose humanoid robot: MATRIX-3. Much more compact than the first generation, without a protruding "rear end," it features an impressive futuristic design, 27-DOF dexterous hand with tendon-driven joints, 3D soft fabric bionic skin (claimed to have tactile sensing), and incorporates a new neural network that allows for zero-shot learning, enabling it to perform tasks in complex environments. It is planned for use in general scenarios such as manufacturing plants, logistics warehouses, and retail supermarkets. However, this is currently just a video, and its actual performance remains to be seen, especially the rapid, sensitive, and free movements of the hands as shown in the video: this would truly be a huge breakthrough.

Figure announces Project Go-Big: Internet-Scale Humanoid Pretraining and Direct Human-to-Robot Transfer The company has achieved a new milestone for the Helix AI model: after training exclusively on egocentric human data, Figure robots can now navigate real-world spaces from natural language commands such as “Go water the plants.” This also enabled a unified Helix model that can output both manipulation and navigation commands to the continuous control system. This ties into the Brookfield partnership that they announced yesterday. Brookfield is a global asset manager overseeing $1 trillion in assets, including 100,000 residential units, 500M square feet of commercial office space, and 160M square feet of logistics space. Using human video capture in a variety of Brookfield environments, Figure will amass critical pretraining data at scale, allowing them to explore the full potential of internet-scale embodied datasets for locomotion and manipulation.

Can United States manufacture robots? Matic Robots says "yes." It makes the best floor cleaning robot, that has won many perfect scores from Wired to many others. We love ours. But my trip there to get a tour from AI pioneer Navneet Dalal Navneet Dalal provided some real insights into how hard it is for a hardware company to make hardware in the United States. And how deeply AI is changing consumer electronics products that are going to be in many more homes soon. In this first part (Part II coming tomorrow) we get a look at how long it took for this company to go through prototypes to a shipping product. In the second part, you'll see the scaling hell that it takes to even ship a few thousand robots and the kinds of problems that scaling up a factory brings. Matic is one of my favorite small Silicon Valley companies. It has found what we call "product market fit." I just came back from CES where I saw many of its competitors, and the Matic wins because of not just the product thinking of Mehul and Navneet Dalal but because of their AI leadership. In a way their robot took many lessons from Tesla, from where to put the batteries to its bet on computer vision, which Navneet has been a pioneer in for years, working quietly behind the scenes. It is about to move into a new location that will allow it to grow to meet the demand that now is showing up (the boxes in its lobby show that it's outgrowing its current facilities). In terms of AI, it has aspirations of making a humanoid too, but it is taking a far more measured approach to getting there. By starting on the floor it can not just build world models based on real world data (customers are given a choice whether to allow its data to be used that way. Most customers choose to keep their data on the robot only, for privacy reasons, but if you opt in you can help them improve their models). They are using that data to understand homes. Navneet told me they hit very unusual situations in people's homes already that they couldn't really predict in simulators, like full-wall mirrors that confuse computer vision systems, or pools and water features in people's homes. Having real customers brings a ton of customer feedback about how to further improve the robot, and, as Navneet demonstrates in the second video, forces them to build a manufacturing muscle memory. Getting teams to work together, figuring out how to solve supply chain problems, from Trump's tarriffs, to a new one that showed up over the past couple of weeks. A supplier for its bags (one of the cheaper parts that goes into the robot) changed the glue it used, which caused robots to fail quality tests and the manufacturing line to stop. Reminds me a lot of the hell Elon Musk faced in its Fremont factory when Tesla was first starting to manufacture its Model 3, which almost bankrupted the company. Off the record Mehul and Navneet 🇮🇳 showed me some of the prototypes and plans for its next products that will show up over the next few years. Certainly not as sexy as Tesla, Figure, 1x_tech, and all the Chinese manufacturers are showing off already, but far better thought out for the typical Western home and AI plays a huge role in its future. It is the product that speaks for itself. It's amazing, and is about to get better this year due to AI. It's the first real vision-only robot to be in my home and I bet it won't be the last from this company. Real honor that they invited me over with my Insta360 camera (another company launched in my home, just like Matic was last year). In Part II we go into the factory.

Everything Lars Moravy, Tesla's VP of Engineering, said about Optimus in the latest interview on Herbert's channel: On the transition of Fremont's Model S/X lines to Optimus: - Space has been cleared out - Our first line has landed (in Fremont) from our automation groups in the Midwest and Germany, and we've started to install it - Machines are going through the last stages of FAT (field acceptance testing) - The first line is quite modular, so bring-up can be quick - A line takes 2-3 days to install and a week to get going - After proving out the first sub-line, we have 40 more to go - Sub-lines are for different components like actuators, torso, battery, limbs, etc. - Multiple factors go into 'make-vs-buy' decisions: does a supplier know how to do it, do we keep the IP in-house, is the investment significant, is the risk of change high Do car manufacturing strengths pass to Optimus? - Tesla has learned the hard parts of scaling from cars and batteries: parts flow in/out of the factory building, multiple levels of supply chain, multi-sourcing, crisis management - Optimus benefits from that foundation. The lines are designed by the same experienced people who have learned the importance of precision and repeatability, and OEE and uptime - The BOM cost of a car is more than a robot (Optimus) - Tesla has the trifecta: scale manufacturing, electric motor design, and real-world AI - Optimus is more like a car than a consumer electronics device, because of its high functional safety and multi-axis dimensions The humanoid form factor: - The form has to feel like it belongs in our space - It's important to start with C-3PO (a humanoid from), then we'll see expansion into other forms like R2-D2

JUST IN: Figure has gone from producing 1 humanoid robot per day to 1 per hour, a 24x throughput improvement in under 120 days. This data is from their manufacturing facility BotQ update (link below) Here's what's happening inside BotQ: → Over 350 Figure 03 robots delivered and counting → End-of-line first-pass yield now above 80% and improving weekly → Battery line at 99.3% first-pass yield with 500+ battery packs shipped → Over 9,000 actuators produced across 10+ distinct SKUs → Every robot put through 80+ functional verification tests before sign-off Their Helix AI model can now SEE the environment it's moving through, not just feel it. 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.

China's humanoid robotics market is on fire. With orders expected to top 30,000 units this year—a tenfold jump from 2024's total of less than 3,000—2025 is officially shaping up to be the "Year of Mass Production." This surge, driven by an expansion into new sectors like industrial manufacturing, logistics, and elder care, is reflected in a wave of new deals across the industry. Here's a look at some of the key commercial progress: Astribot: A 1,000-unit order for industrial and logistics deployment over two years. TianTai Robotics: Signed a major 10,000-unit order for caregiving robots. Noetix Robotics : Received over 2,000 intent orders in one month, valued at over 100 million yuan, with a focus on education and commercial performances. AgiBot: Expects to ship thousands of units this year and tens of thousands in 2026. Unitree Robotics: Has orders for thousands of units and is one of the most visible products in the industry. UBTech: Aims to deliver 500 industrial humanoids in 2025, with educational robot orders already exceeding 300 units. Robot Era: Delivered over 300 units by July 2025 with 500 more on hand. TLIBOT: Has around 1,000 intent orders. Galbot: Secured orders for its supermarket security robot, Galbot, in 100 stores. AI² Robotics: Has nearly 500 orders for its general-purpose robots for industrial and public service scenarios. But here’s the crucial reality check. While the order boom is exciting, it doesn't automatically translate to fulfilled deliveries. Many companies lack the production capacity to keep up. A significant portion of these are "intent orders" or framework agreements, not guaranteed sales. Furthermore, the market is heavily B2B-focused, with consumer demand representing only about 5% of sales. Some orders are even symbolic, for public relations or strategic purposes. This “order frenzy” is a starting point, not the finish line. The true test for China's humanoid robot industry isn't who can secure the biggest order, but who can consistently deliver on it and build a stable market for the future.

The true test for China's humanoid robot industry isn't who can secure the biggest order, but who can consistently deliver on it and build a stable market for the future.

BREAKING: First-Ever Full Tour of Figure's Humanoid HQ CEO Brett Adcock Exclusive look through every department on their San Jose campus: BotQ Factory, Testing, Design, Demos & more. Brett walks us through how Figure is built: - System integration lab: where robots are stress-tested with software faults & physical pushes - Helix AI: team floor where the controls & neural network engineers train the vision-language-action model that runs onboard every Figure robot - Reinforcement learning & stability testing: where Figure demos the Vulcan project — surviving a lost knee mid-task - Home: environment where Figure 03 autonomously tidies a living room using their Helix neural network (no teleoperation) - BotQ: manufacturing facility where heads, batteries, and limbs come together on the assembly line, including the custom-built battery line & end-of-line burn-in bays - Industrial design studio: (opened publicly for the first time) housing every generation of Figure robot ever built, including: Figure 01 with its Frankenstein forearms, Figure 02, & the sleek Figure 03 that recently appeared at the White House, plus the evolution of Figure's hands & feet Brett shares why he believes humanoid robots may achieve AGI before any other form factor, why Figure pivoted entirely from hand-coded controls to neural networks, & teases that Figure 04 will be their "iPhone 1 moment." This was so much fun! Big thank you to Brett & the team at Figure for opening the doors for us!

The Cybercab is aiming to produce 2 million units per year. Let this sink in. Today, Tesla produces about ~1.7 million vehicles per year total, across its entire lineup. And now Tesla is preparing to outproduce that with one single vehicle, a fully autonomous one. This is Elon and Tesla going ALL-IN on autonomy. Production is scheduled to start April 2026 at Giga Texas, with volume ramping throughout the year. And as of early 2026, Cybercab prototypes are already being tested around the U.S. The Tesla Cybercab is built from the ground up for unsupervised autonomy. There is no steering wheel and no pedals, just cameras, AI, and Tesla’s custom inference computers. No lidar and radar like other companies, just pure vision and software. Elon put it best on the Q3 2024 earnings call: “It’s not just a revolutionary vehicle design, but a revolution in vehicle manufacturing that is also coming with the Cybercab.” That quote matters a lot bc that means the entire way a vehicle is manufactured is changing with the Cybercab. Tesla is designing what Elon calls “the machine that builds the machine.” The Cybercab uses Tesla’s unboxed manufacturing process, where major sections are built in parallel instead of one long assembly line. There are fewer parts, less steps & cost, and faster scale. That’s how you make 2 million Cybercabs per year possible. FYI, this is not going to be easy though. Elon has been brutally honest about production for many years: • “Prototypes are easy, production is hard.” • “The extreme difficulty of scaling production of new technology is poorly understood. It’s 1000% to 10,000% harder than making a few prototypes.” • “For cars, it’s maybe 100 times harder to design the manufacturing system than the car itself.” He reinforced this again in January 2026 when talking about Cybercab and Optimus on 𝕏: “Initial production is always very slow and follows an S-curve. The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportional to how many new parts and steps there are. For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production rate will be agonizingly slow - but eventually end up being insanely fast.” This is the key thing most people miss about Tesla manufacturing. Early output will be slow by design. Almost everything is new like the vehicle architecture, factory layout, AI hardware, and manufacturing flow. But once it works and clicks, it begins to scale hard. Tesla already proved they can do this. They survived Model 3 production hell. They turned Model Y into the BEST selling car in the world, of any kind. They ramped Cybertruck, which has over 30,000+ unique parts, to meaningful volume. Elon summed it up perfectly in 2024: “Compared to the insane pain of reaching high volume, positive margin production, prototypes are a piece of cake.” That’s why Tesla makes manufacturing look easy bc they already earned the scars from the last vehicle lineups. The Cybercab is aiming to be: 1/ Under $30,000 price 2/ ~$0.20 per mile operating cost 3/ 200+ mile range 4/ Up to 5x utilization vs personal cars 5/ Designed to run nearly nonstop 24/7 This is what you call manufacturing + AI + autonomy converging at scale. The competitors are still showing prototypes and demos, while Tesla is building new production lines, expanding factories, and actually building the product. I remember when Elon told me in the past that one of Tesla’s key advantage long term was going to be manufacturing technology. I get it now.
