My conversation with Sergey Levine (Sergey Levine). Sergey is the co-founder of Physical Intelligence -- a company building foundation models that can control any robot to do any task in any environment. The company's thesis is that generality is more scalable than specialization, meaning that a model trained across many different robots and tasks will ultimately outperform any system built to do one thing well (eg, just wash dishes). Sergey is a researcher by background, but I think you will appreciate how practical and commercially grounded this conversation is. We discuss: - Why changing a diaper will be the last task a robot masters - The simulation v. real-world data debate - How multimodal LLMs give robots common sense - Moravec's Paradox + Robot Olympics - Why robots can do long-horizon tasks now - A realistic timeline for robots in our homes I should note that I am an investor in Physical Intelligence -- I made the investment because I believe it is one of the most important companies tackling the problem of robotics.

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.

🚨 BREAKING: Swiss startup mimic just raised €13.8M to teach robots the one thing they still struggle with human-like dexterity. 🇨🇭 The Zurich-based company is developing physical AI systems that allow robots to learn directly from human demonstrations. Skilled operators wear custom motion-tracking gear on real factory floors, generating data that trains robots to grasp, move, and adapt with human precision. Founded in 2024 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, mimic pairs AI-driven dexterous robotic hands with standard industrial robot arms, skipping the humanoid form factor in favor of practical, deployable automation. The oversubscribed seed round was led by Elaia with participation from Speedinvest, Founderful, 1st Kind, 10x Founders, 2100 Ventures, and the Sequoia Scout Fund, bringing total funding to over $20M. Their technology is already being piloted with Fortune 500 manufacturers and logistics operators, where robots are learning complex manipulation tasks once reserved for humans. Why it matters: Europe is stepping up in the AI robotics race. By making dexterity scalable, mimic bridges the gap between lab breakthroughs and real factory deployment, where automation still meets its hardest challenges. As CEO Stefan Weirich put it: “We make dexterity deployable at scale, closing the gap between what AI can do in the lab and what factories actually need.” Let's go robotics in Europe! 🔥

China is leading in the humanoid race. 🇨🇳 UBTECH Robotics has officially shipped hundreds of its Walker S2 humanoids, not to demos or showcases, but directly into factories and logistics centers. Of course, as is often the case in our robotic world, there were doubts and accusations that it was CGI. This is one of the first large-scale industrial rollouts anywhere in the world. The robots are going to partners like BYD, Geely Auto, FAW-Volkswagen, Dongfeng Liuzhou, and Foxconn, where they’ll be used in frontline production tasks. Let's look at monehh: so UBTECH’s 2025 order book now exceeds 800M yuan (~$113M), and the company targets 500 units delivered by year-end. The Walker S2 is built for continuous operation, including an autonomous battery-swap system that lets it replace its own power pack and keep working without downtime. While Europe is still debating standards and long-term frameworks, China is already doing full production, testing, and integration at scale. 🇪🇺 In the meantime, USA claims that Chinese robots are fake, and China casually keep shipping them. 🇺🇸 The challenge is no longer whether humanoids will be used in industry, it’s who gets them deployed, reliable, and affordable first. And right now, Asia is the one shipping robots by the truckload. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

AheadForm just raised a new A1 round worth hundreds of millions of RMB (~tens of millions USD) 🤖 That matters because this is not another humanoid company chasing locomotion first. AheadForm is building around the part most robotics startups still underestimate: face, emotion, and real-time human connection. The new funding will go into multimodal embodied interaction, emotion foundation models, facial hardware and materials, standardized delivery, and global expansion. Founded in June 2024, the company is still young, but the founder’s research trail is not. Yuhang Hu, a Columbia PhD and AheadForm’s CEO/CTO, has published work spanning facial coexpression, realistic lip motion for humanoid face robots, and self-supervised robot self-modeling. That is the deeper signal here. In a market crowded with hands, arms, and walking demos, investors are now putting serious money behind embodied AI that can express, respond, and hold attention face to face. And the company is moving fast. According to public reports, AheadForm has completed five funding rounds since the second half of 2025, while its robots have already broken out of lab-only visibility through public activations like the NetEase Justice mobile game collaboration and large robot-stage appearances. If humanoid robotics is about physical labor, AheadForm is making the case that the next layer is emotional presence. That may end up being one of the more important categories in embodied AI.

Video: World’s first humanoid robot labor that swaps its own batteries to work endlessly | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Walker S2 uses dual-battery balancing and standardized modules to boost efficiency and ensure uninterrupted, optimized performance. In a leap for robotics, China’s UBTech has unveiled the Walker S2, the world’s first humanoid robot capable of fully autonomous battery swapping. Designed for non-stop industrial operations, the Walker S2 can replace its own power pack in just three minutes—no human intervention required. Equipped with advanced anthropomorphic bipedal locomotion and a hot-swappable battery system, Walker S2 is built to operate 24/7 across dynamic industrial environments. According to UBTech, the next-generation humanoid robot marks a major milestone in automation, bringing continuous, hands-free performance to the factory floor. In May 2025, UBTech Robotics and Huawei Technologies inked a significant partnership to accelerate the adoption of humanoid robots across China’s factories and households. Uninterrupted robot operations A video posted by the robotics firm opens with the sleek UBTech Walker S2 humanoid robot working in an industrial setting. The highlight, however, is its autonomous battery swap. Walker S2 approaches the charging station, carefully detaches its depleted power pack, and seamlessly installs a fresh one—all within about three minutes—without any human assistance, according to CGTN. The camera captures close-ups of the robot’s articulated limbs and the intelligent battery-handling mechanism, conveying precision and reliability. As the swap completes, Walker S2 resumes its duties, reinforcing the promise of uninterrupted, 24/7 operations in dynamic factory environments. UBTech’s Walker S2 humanoid robot is equipped with advanced dual-battery power balancing technology and uses standardized battery modules to optimize performance, reports CNEVPOST. This dual-battery system allows the robot to automatically switch to a backup battery in case of a main battery failure, ensuring that critical tasks are carried out without interruption. In addition to battery swapping, the robot can intelligently choose between charging and swapping based on task urgency, allowing it to manage energy dynamically and adapt to real-time operational demands. UBTech highlights these features as a step forward in deploying humanoid robots for industrial and domestic applications, combining flexibility, reliability, and autonomy in one intelligent platform. Factory intelligence upgrade Earlier in the year, UBTech unveiled a major advancement in humanoid robot collaboration, claiming the world’s first deployment of multiple humanoids working together across varied industrial tasks. Demonstrated at Zeekr’s 5G-enabled smart factory, the breakthrough centers on UBTech’s “BrainNet” framework, which orchestrates cooperative behavior through a cloud-device intelligence system. BrainNet integrates a “super brain” for high-level decision-making with an “intelligent sub-brain” for distributed multi-robot control. The super brain, powered by a proprietary large-scale multimodal reasoning model, handles complex production-line scheduling and decision-making. Meanwhile, the sub-brain coordinates real-time tasks using cross-field perception and Transformer-based control for dynamic adaptability. Together, they enable the Walker S1 humanoid robots to move beyond isolated operations and perform coordinated tasks with high precision and speed. The system is built on DeepSeek-R1 reasoning technology and trained on real-world data from automotive factory settings. Leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the model adapts to specific job functions and improves scalability across workstations. At Zeekr’s facility, dozens of Walker S1s now collaborate on tasks like assembly, inspection, and part handling. Using semantic VSLAM and shared mapping, they coordinate seamlessly via vision-based navigation and agile manipulation. UBTech says this marks a transition to “Practical Training 2.0,” where humanoid robots operate as a swarm, maximizing efficiency and setting the stage for next-generation intelligent manufacturing.

A new dexterous hand is here. DexcelRobotics, a startup founded by a former core member of Tencent Robotics X, has launched its first product, the Apex Hand. The company claims it's the first in the industry capable of operating a cell phone with a single hand. The Apex Hand is a well-rounded performer, with a focus on real-world application. Here are its key specs: ► Degrees of Freedom: 21, which the founder notes is enough to replicate most human hand functions. ► Strength: A single-finger force of ~2.5kg and a vertical lifting capacity of ~30kg. ► Speed & Precision: A response time near human-level, with positioning accuracy of ≤0.1mm. ► Robustness: Can withstand unexpected impacts and maintain stability. ► Tactile: Features self-developed flexible electronic skin with a sub-millisecond communication delay and >1000Hz refresh rate. The founder explains that while academic research often focuses on single-point breakthroughs, a commercial product needs hardware stability, data handling, and model capabilities. The company’s full-stack development experience and modular design are key to bringing this technology to a broader market, starting with semi-structured industrial environments before reaching homes.

🚨$UBER backed Atoms vs. NRED + EyeX: two different bets on the future of autonomous mining Atoms recently announced a $1.7 billion equity investment led by a16z, with Uber participating. Its mining division is anchored by Pronto, whose autonomous haulage technology has reportedly moved more than two million tons and is being deployed across 100+ trucks. But there may be another, much smaller physical-AI mining story developing through NovaRed Mining (CSE: NRED / OTCQB: NREDF) and On July 13, NRED announced a 30-day exclusive standstill and due-diligence process regarding the potential acquisition of an interest in EyeX technology. Importantly, there is no completed acquisition yet, and no deal is guaranteed. So how do the two strategies compare? Atoms + Pronto Atoms is currently focused on automating physical work inside operating mines: Autonomous haul trucks OEM-agnostic fleet retrofits Cameras, LiDAR and radar Commercial quarry and mining deployments Immediate productivity and labor savings Atoms is essentially building the autonomous execution layer for established industrial operations. NRED + EyeX The potential NRED–EyeX combination would approach mining from an earlier and potentially broader point in the value chain. NRED’s MetalCore platform integrates more than 4.1 million geological, geochemical, geophysical and mineral-property records to identify and prioritize exploration targets. EyeX then adds two connected capabilities: AI perception and command: cameras, drones, thermal systems, vehicles and robots detecting terrain changes, equipment, hazards, minerals and operational activity. Autonomous robotics: intelligent ground, aerial and maritime machines designed to operate in dangerous or inaccessible environments. EyeX’s public robotics portfolio includes: GroundUnit-1, an autonomous electric tracked platform for grading, clearing, mine development and hazardous terrain VHL, a hybrid heavy-lift VTOL system for remote mining operations and cargo delivery Autonomous mining drones and rovers Albatross maritime reconnaissance drones Sandpiper environmental-cleaning robots TugBot autonomous marine systems Human-carrying rescue drones Most of these systems remain protected-IP concepts or active R&D, while VHL is described as previously prototyped. That makes EyeX substantially earlier-stage than Pronto—but its intended scope is also much wider. The potential NRED architecture looks like this: MetalCore finds the target. EyeX understands the terrain. EyeX Robotics reaches it and acts. Field observations and assays make MetalCore smarter. Interestingly, this maps directly onto Atoms’ own three-step definition of physical AI: Understand the physical world Predict its future state Control the physical world For NRED: EyeX provides understanding. MetalCore provides prediction. EyeX Robotics provides physical action. The major distinction is that Atoms is already automating material movement inside producing mines and quarries. NRED and EyeX could potentially build an autonomous system spanning mineral discovery, field investigation, terrain access, mine development and eventually operations. The timeline is also interesting. NRED announced its exclusive EyeX diligence process nine days before Atoms disclosed its $1.7 billion financing with Uber. However, Atoms had already publicly launched its mining strategy and plans for Pronto in March, so the accurate conclusion is that NRED moved before the Atoms financing announcement—not before Atoms entered mining. Atoms’ financing does not prove EyeX’s technology or determine NRED’s valuation. But it is major validation of the broader thesis that specialized robotics, physical AI and autonomous mining could become one of the next large technology markets. The central question: Will the biggest opportunity belong to companies automating haulage inside existing mined

The hardest problems in AI aren't research problems anymore. They're deployment problems. It’s how we actually deliver real value, today, to build the future people want. That’s why, after 20 years in AI, my next step was inevitable: make robots do useful work for and alongside people, right now. Today, I am delighted to announce the launch of Walden Robotics to tackle just that. We started this year and are coming out of stealth today with a $300M seed round backed by some of the most serious companies and investors in the world. They have seen firsthand our general-purpose robots being useful in production on day one, and getting better every day after. You can see a glimpse of what we've been building in the video below. Physical AI has gone through a rapid phase transition, in part thanks to pioneering research from my friends and co-founders Russ Tedrake , Ben Burchfiel , Siyuan Feng, Rareș Ambruș , and many others at Walden. But from our long experience working together with co-founders Kerri Fetzer-Borelli and Dave Johnson, we learned how hard it is to deploy cutting-edge AI in a real, live, incredibly sophisticated production environment with an intricate ballet of automation and human ingenuity. That’s why we deliberately created Walden Robotics as a full-stack, human-centric, customer-focused robotics company from the start: we seeded the company with a world-class team across hardware, software, AI, deployment, operations, product, and business talent, so we could continuously optimize our whole system end-to-end, deeply and purposefully, from real-world experience with real customers. The efficacy of this strategy speaks for itself: since February, our general-purpose robots have been doing useful work in production at a Toyota plant in North America, moving from first pilot to real work in under two months. Not a lab. Not a demo. Not a future promise. Real work on a real line, today, at one of the best large-scale manufacturers in the world, with general-purpose robots that get better every day. And this is just the beginning. Two ways to find us: If you run a manufacturing or logistics business and want robots that are widely useful now, not someday, let's talk. We own “ for a reason! And if you want to build them: we're hiring across the company, from software, to hardware, AI, ops, product, business, and more. In particular, as the Chief Strategy Officer at Walden, I am recruiting for three incredibly impactful founding roles to fuel our agent-native go-to-market engine. Check out Let’s build together!
