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.show more

New "superman" Four months later, Shanghai-based Matrix Robotics unveiled the Matrix-3--yet another anthropomorphic humanoid robot situated on the left side of the "Uncanny Valley." Unlike Boston Dynamics' Atlas, which is designed for industrial settings, the Matrix-3 is a general-purpose humanoid robot intended initially for service-oriented environments such as supermarkets, hotels, and office buildings. Standing 1.7 meters tall and weighing 65 kilograms, the adult-sized robot features a full-body covering of biomimetic fabric integrated with tactile sensors, as well as humanoid biomimetic muscles. It employs linear joints rather than the mainstream rotary joints. Matrix claims it is capable of pulling or pushing a load of 200 kg. Optimus makes extensive use of linear joints (linear actuators). It is equipped with dexterous hands offering 27 DOF and boasts a battery life of 4 hours. The robot is powered by a model named WAVE(like an E2E World Action Model) Matrix states that it has already established a manufacturing facility in Shanghai's Zhangjiang with an annual production capacity of 10,000 units. The company plans to deliver 1,000 units this year, with the first batch scheduled for delivery by the end of June. Pricing starts at $99,000. Notably, Matrix founder Zhang Haixing previously served as a leader at Tesla China's Design and Research Center, where he was deeply involved in the early-stage R&D and design of the Optimus robot. This company seems to be delivering on the future envisioned for Optimus.

Japan Just Built a HouseBot You Control Without Speaking and It Changes Everything! Donut Robotics has officially unveiled its first bipedal humanoid, Cinnamon 1, and instead of focusing on louder voices or bigger motors, the company went in the opposite direction. Silence. Cinnamon 1 introduces what Donut Robotics calls Silent Gesture Control, a system that allows the humanoid to be guided using simple hand and finger movements rather than spoken commands. This approach feels especially well suited for real world environments where traditional voice control falls apart. Busy factory floors. Construction sites filled with constant noise. Even quiet indoor settings where voice commands feel awkward or intrusive. It also opens the door for far more accessible human robot interaction, particularly for users with impairments. While the current Cinnamon 1 hardware is built on an OEM platform, the intelligence driving it is where Donut Robotics is placing its long term bet. The team is actively developing custom Vision Language Action AI that allows the robot to interpret what it sees, understand intent, and respond with physical action. The goal is not just smarter robots, but robots that feel more natural. Even more ambitious is the company’s plan for full domestic production. Donut Robotics has stated its intention to localize both manufacturing and AI development in Japan, reinforcing the country’s reputation for precision engineering and thoughtful robotics design. If timelines hold, Cinnamon 1 units are expected to begin deployment in factories and construction environments by the end of 2026. That puts this humanoid squarely in the category of near term reality rather than distant concept. The takeaway is simple but important. As humanoid robots move out of labs and into daily work environments, the winners may not be the loudest or flashiest machines. They may be the ones that understand us without a word being spoken.

Dexterous hands are one of the biggest challenges in robotics, with even Elon Musk noting their development accounts for half of a humanoid robot's total work. A new approach from the Y-Hand M1 bionic hand may be a significant step forward. Based on an international first-of-its-kind "bionic tension-compression theory," the M1 replaces traditional rigid hinges with a 6-DoF joint system and uses self-developed magnetic artificial muscles. This design allows it to perform complex, human-like tasks, including: ► Mastering all 33 Feix dexterous grasp categories. ► Precisely twirling playing cards and threading a needle with subtle human-like adjustments. ► Smoothly twisting bottle caps and turning book pages. The team behind the M1 is already working on the next-gen Y-Hand M3, aiming for around 70 degrees of freedom, believing that robotic hands may soon reach or even exceed human-level dexterity.

Video: China firm to unveil world’s most ‘adorable’ humanoid robot for homes, schools | Christopher McFadden, Interesting Engineering Fourier’s latest humanoid robot, the GR‑3, is designed for domestic and educational environments. Fourier Robotics, the Shanghai-based robotics firm behind the GR-1 and GR-2 models, is preparing to launch its GR-3 humanoid robot on August 6. Early glimpses of the new robot, including a sneak-peek video, reveal a smaller, friendlier design, described as possibly the “most adorable humanoid robot yet.” Concrete information is scarce, but early reports suggest the robot will be smaller than its predecessors. According to some reports, the GR-3 will likely stand at around 4 feet 5 inches (134 cm). This makes it notably smaller than the earlier GR-1 (5.4 feet/165 cm) and GR-2 (5.74 feet/175 cm) models from Fourier. Most notable is its apparent “softer,” almost cuddly aesthetic.” The robot is likely intended for use in homes, schools, hospitals, and public spaces. It also features an integrated large language model (LLM) to enable natural speech engagement with users. To this end, the GR-3 will likely be marked as a companion‑style or caregiver bot (AKA a “Care‑bot”) aimed at friendly human interaction in personal or learning environments. GR-3: Fourier’s cutest robot yet “This softer aesthetic is a nice change compared to the usual designs we see with humanoid robots. The eyes are a much-needed touch,” comments a member on the Companian Robot Forums. “It’s so expressive and draws you in. Can’t wait to see what this looks like. Hopefully it is reasonably priced. Could definitely see myself owning one of these,” they added. The GR-3 is a natural progression of the company’s previous models. The first, the GR-1, was launched by Foureir in 2023 and was its first mass-targeted humanoid, featuring 44 joints and capable of walking at 3.1 mph (5 kph). Capable of carrying around 6.6. pounds (3 kg) of weight, it featured advanced perception via six RGB cameras that formed real-time 3D occupancy grids, an LLM-based emotional interaction system, and modular Fourier Smart Actuators (FSA) delivering around 230 N/m of torque. The GR-2 was debuted in 2024 and raised the bar with a taller frame (~175 cm, 63 kg), 53 degrees of freedom, enhanced 12 degrees of freedom (DoF) dexterous hands with tactile sensors, and power-dense FSA 2.0 actuators (around 380 N/m torque). Given this lineage, the GR-3 is likely to continue innovating in areas such as compact hardware design, featuring a shorter, lighter frame tailored to domestic spaces. It will also build on the company’s focus on friendly user interaction thanks to its softer aesthetic and approachable interface. The GR-3 will also likely feature use-case-specific actuation and sensing, likely simpler than the GR-2’s high-precision hands but optimized for social or light domestic tasks. Scheduled for release in August It will likely also feature an accessible software stack continuing Fourier’s support for developers via pre‑built APIs and possibly integration with LLMs and vision systems. Fourier has confirmed the robot’s official reveal is scheduled for early August, with teaser posts on X and robotics forums generating anticipation among fans and researchers. When formally revealed, the GR‑3 could represent Fourier’s first small-form social humanoid, bridging the gap between research platforms and home or classroom robots. Read more:
