Hands are the bridge for the emergence of intelligence. DM-Hand1, developed by Shenzhen DaimonRobotics, is a humanoid hand equipped with visual and tactile sensors, enabling robots to perceive any object and its changes and respond appropriately. This means humanoid robots equipped with this hand show strong potential in precision tasks, cluttered item sorting, and especially in service roles like elderly care.

🔥 🇨🇳 China goes on the offensive — Beijing is furious and threatens the EU China is demanding that its companies be removed from the EU’s 20th sanctions package and has already issued a strong protest. For the first time, Chinese entities have been targeted, which Europe believes are involved in supplying Russia with dual-use goods and components for the military industry. Beijing called this a breach of trust and a violation of agreements with the EU. China has already threatened countermeasures and made it clear it will not simply swallow this move⚠️

Humanoid logistics sorters are starting real shifts in both the U.S. and China 🤖 Figure is entering Catalyst Brands’ Reno logistics center, inside the retail network behind JCPenney, Aéropostale, and Brooks Brothers. RobotEra’s M7 is working at China Post’s Guangzhou logistics hub, feeding and sorting parcels on live lines. This is the right first job for humanoids: repetitive, physical, structured, high-volume, and easy to measure. Figure’s F.03 ran a 200-hour public sorting test and handled nearly 250,000 parcels. RobotEra’s system is being used for parcel feeding, package orientation, and exception handling, with peak throughput reported around 1,200 parcels per hour. The demand side is obvious. China handled nearly 199 billion express parcels in 2025. Guangzhou alone processed about 21.9 billion parcels, more than enough to turn sorting into a brutal labor and throughput problem. The U.S. has a different pressure point. Parcel volume is smaller, but warehouse labor is much more expensive, so a robot that can work long repetitive shifts has a cleaner ROI story if uptime, maintenance, and deployment cost hold up. The hard part is not the demo. It is barcode orientation, soft bags, crushed boxes, recovery after errors, battery swaps, fleet coordination, and keeping the line moving when nobody is filming. Sorting is still only one link in logistics. The bigger test is whether these robots can move from conveyor work into loading, unloading, picking, exception handling, and eventually the last mile — where the environment stops being friendly. That is the real question now. Not whether humanoids can sort packages, but whether they can earn the next job after sorting.

More and more humanoid robot kiosks are appearing in China. Yesterday, I passed by a subway entrance in Guangzhou and experienced a retail kiosk operated by a humanoid robot again, buying a bottle of water. The process was the same: select items on a screen, scan a QR code for mobile payment, and the humanoid robot retrieves the product. (However, it didn't interact with me at all.) I looked it up, and the wheeled humanoid robot is named S1, from AutoLife Robotics in Shenzhen. It uses omnidirectional wheels for movement and a lifting body. It's 1-1.6m tall, weighs 72kg, and has a 10-hour battery life. A single arm can carry 3-5kg. Furthermore, this humanoid robot is suitable for lightweight tasks in retail, convenience stores, supermarkets, and warehouse sorting.

We just discovered faster sorting algorithms! Here is a 60-second explanation of what happened: DeepMind turned the sorting problem into a puzzle, where the goal of an agent is to organize a list of instructions to find a correct and efficient algorithm. Think Tetris, but using lines of code. They used Deep Reinforcement Learning to train the agent who only wins the game if it finds an efficient algorithm. They called it "AlphaDev," and it didn't disappoint: AlphaDev found shorter and faster solutions for several sorting variants that we use trillions of times daily! This is a big deal. Conceptually, sorting is still an O(N log N) problem; Deepmind didn't change that. But practically speaking, and thanks to AlphaDev, we have code that runs faster. You should read their paper. They compared the current version of these algorithms and the new version they discovered. In some cases, they made significant improvements. Some people aren't happy with the way DeepMind is promoting this work. They argue the results aren't as breathtaking as the headlines claim. We can discuss their marketing, but this is undoubtedly a significant step with a real impact and the potential to generalize to more areas. The new algorithms that AlphaDev found seem trivial, yet no human found them before. That's the true power of Artificial Intelligence.

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.

Elon says China's an Ass-kicker-next-level Question on Q4 earnings call: "There's a surge of Chinese companies humanoids; what is Tesla's long-term competitive advantage?" Elon: "By far, the biggest competition for humanoid robots will be from China. China is good at manufacturing, and also in AI, judging from open models. To the best of my knowledge, we don't see significant competition outside of China. People outside of China underestimate China, but China's an ass-kicker next-level. We think we will be more capable than any robot under development in China. We'll be ahead in real-world intelligence and the electromechanical dexterity of the hand design. There are three hardest things for humanoid robots: - the hand - real-world AI - and scaling production Tesla is the only company that has all three of those components."

Robots from Humanoid passed real factory test at Siemens! 😮‍💨 Humanoid from the UK just completed a successful proof of concept with Siemens, deploying their HMND 01 wheeled humanoid robot in a real working factory. The task was simple but important: pick totes from a storage stack, transport them to a conveyor, and place them at the pickup point for human operators. Repeat until the stack is empty. The robot achieved 60 tote moves per hour, handled two different tote sizes, ran autonomously for more than 30 minutes at a time, stayed operational for over eight hours, and maintained over 90% success rate on pick and place tasks. This matters because it's not a demo video. It's a real deployment in Siemens' Electronics Factory in Erlangen, handling actual production work, measured against real operational metrics. The test ran in two phases. First, Humanoid built a physical twin in-house to test and optimize the system. Then they deployed on-site at Siemens for two weeks, where the robot operated in the real production environment. We can see a wheeled humanoid robot in action! So, now the ultimate question: wheels or legs? 👀 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →
