Push a human off balance and they react instantly. Now try building that into a robot… During a recent visit to Hangzhou, hosted by the Zhejiang Provincial Government, we saw a live balance test from Unitree robotics G1 robot. This is where control, perception, and hardware have to move... show more

Researchers developed Hitter, a humanoid robot that can play table tennis in real-world settings. It was trained on the Unitree G1 robot to predict the ball’s path, choose the right shot, and react in less than a second. In tests, it achieved 106 consecutive shots with a human and even rallied with another humanoid robot.

Humanoid robotics is the next great labor shift — and the real opportunity is not in the hardware. Strike Robot is now live on Virtuals Protocol — we’re building SR Agentic, a plug-and-play agentic framework for robotics, starting with Unitree G1, enabling autonomous anomaly detection, safety monitoring, and continuous operation in complex environments. AI makes robots intelligent. $SR makes them investable. Every robot. Its own right. Our journey starts today.

People still say humanoid robots cannot handle creativity, rhythm, or coordinated motion. Meanwhile, a Unitree humanoid is already playing drums with timing, arm synchronization, balance control, and real time motion planning. Here is why this matters: Goldman Sachs projects the humanoid robot market could reach $38 billion by 2035, with shipments around 1.4 million units. Unitree’s R1 started around $5,600, while its earlier G1 was around $16,000, showing how fast humanoid hardware costs are falling. A drum performance may look like entertainment, but it tests the same foundations robotics needs everywhere: motion control latency balance precision spatial awareness task repetition A robot does not need to become human to start replacing human tasks. It only needs to become good enough. And that line is getting closer every year.

Excited to announce Tau Robotics (Tau Robotics). We are building a general AI for robots. We start by building millions of robot arms that learn in the real world. In the video, two robot arms are fully autonomous and controlled by a single neural network conditioned on different language instructions (four axes and five axes robot arms). The other two arms are teleoperated. The entire hardware cost in the video is about $1400. The video is at 1.5x speed.

Not a preplanned motion sequence. A robot deciding mid-jump what to do next. [📍 paper + demo] Researchers just showed a humanoid doing real parkour using only onboard perception. No motion script, no fixed obstacle layout. The system is called Perceptive Humanoid Parkour (PHP). Instead of memorizing a path, the robot reads depth from its cameras and continuously chooses actions. Step, vault, climb, or roll depending on what geometry appears in front of it. To make that possible, they combine three ideas: First, they stitch together human motion clips into long movement references so the robot learns fluid transitions instead of isolated tricks. Second, they train tracking policies with reinforcement learning so contacts land at the right time and the robot keeps balance during dynamic moves. Finally, everything is distilled into one perception policy that runs directly from depth input to action selection. The result on a Unitree G1: about 3 m/s vaults wall climbs up to 1.25 m nearly one minute continuous obstacle traversal adapting when obstacles move What matters is not the tricks. It is the shift in capability. Earlier humanoids executed motions. This one navigates situations. Once robots react to geometry instead of replaying trajectories, environments stop needing to be predictable. Warehouses, homes, and outdoors suddenly become the same problem.

A good latte is part art, part science. So can a robot achieve that delicate balance? It can if it’s powered by Intel Robotics, Intel Core Ultra Series 3, and the Robotics AI Suite. Through a combination of real-time control and AI acceleration on a single chip, Ella, a robot inside an autonomous store experience, has the accuracy and deterministic control to serve up the perfect cup every time. See Ella for yourself at the Sensory AI coffee stand at the Taipei World Trade Center Entrance Hall during COMPUTEX 2026.

A robot withstood −47°C cold and walked 130,000 steps The company Unitree tested its humanoid robot G1 in a high-altitude area of China’s Xinjiang region. At temperatures as low as −47.5°C, the robot walked across snow a distance equivalent to 130,000 steps. During the experiment, the robot trampled the Olympic rings into the snow — an emblem roughly 186 × 100 meters in size, visible from above. To prevent equipment failure, G1 was dressed in an insulated jacket and gloves.

A Switzerland-based startup Flexion has created a robotic brain that helps the Unitree G1 move smoothly and work on its own. It uses reinforcement learning, where the robot trains in simulations to learn walking, balancing, and picking objects. In tests, it cleaned a space by finding and placing items in a basket without human help.

Can a dexterous hand still function after being run over by a 2-ton car? The dexterous hand is the most expensive component of a humanoid robot, and if it breaks, the task is interrupted. Hangzhou BrainCo conducted a rigorous test on its latest dexterous hand, Revo2: it was run over by a nearly 2-ton Volvo car, dropped from a height of 5m, dropped 30m, and subjected to forceful impacts from a Unitree G1 robot. It still managed to maintain a stable grip and continue operating. Revo2 is BrainCo's next-generation dexterous/bionic hand, released last year. yes, a human-robot hybrid hand. It's very light, only 383g, 20kg payload,capable of precision manipulation down to 0.1mm (such as threading a needle), and possesses multi-dimensional tactile perception (hardness, texture, direction, proximity, etc.). This test also demonstrates that after achieving breakthroughs in performance, a dexterous hand also needs to be extremely durable and able to function under extreme environmental pressures.

NAVIAI-I3, a more robust humanoid robot, was launched by the Zhejiang Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center. Standing 1.8 meters tall, it can run like a human and walk on various terrains. This humanoid robot appears to be primarily designed for specialized industrial tasks, such as security patrols in underground parking lots. They previously launched the lightweight bipedal NVAI-2 and a wheeled humanoid robot. The bipedal robot is used in manufacturing operations, while the wheeled humanoid robot is used for unstructured, flexible tasks such as warehouse sorting, supermarket shelving, and office cleaning. We filmed this demonstration at the World Robot Conference; you can see it in the comments section.

Introducing Open-TeleVision: with Fully Autonomous policy video👇. We can conduct a long-horizon task with inserting 12 cans nonstop without any interruptions. We offer: 🤖 Highly precise and smooth bimanual manipulation. 📺 Active egocentric vision (with a moving neck) feedback. It is achieved by imitation learning from teleoperation: We propose a VR-based REAL-TIME teleoperation that streams the stereo video observation from the robot camera to the VR device. The robot neck moves as the human head moves, the robot hands move as the human hands move, offering the operator an intuitive experience as the human herself becomes the robot. The devils are all in the details, and how to implement things right: ✅How to perform IK/retargeting for smooth and precise control. ✅How to do all these and also stream stereo video without no latency, all in real time. We released our code here: Active head hardware design: 1/n
