Love this small and adorable humanoid robot And quite agile… Chery's AiMOGA's new humanoid robot dances at the WRC Its head, equipped with a display, can change expressions and engage in social interaction. Perhaps this low-cost humanoid robot is easier to expand, whether for commercial service applications or personal use.

In the future, it might just be humanoid robots doing the refueling!🤖⛽️ Sinopec plans to introduce humanoid robot workers across its gas stations. They will handle tasks like fueling, picking up items, restocking, and inspections,working alongside human staff, especially during peak holiday periods in China to ease service pressure. With more than 30,000 gas stations across the country (most of them equipped with convenience stores), this implies a deployment of at least 30,000 humanoid robots. The robot is a wheeled humanoid developed by Beijing-based company FIVEAGES.

There are currently 61 humanoid companies spanning 13 countries with a total of 88 humanoids Spent my free time creating an extensive display of humanoid companies to learn the current landscape Opinions: - Super saturated, every developed country fund and build humanoid robots, even developing countries like Vietnam has their own humanoid. - Software is the moat. Breakthrough in software will explode adaptation of robots in both consumer and industry. Observation: - Naming: Robots tends to be named in the following formula: Name + Generation (i.e. MagicBot Gen 1, Vanar Gen 1) or Name + Random Letter + Number (i.e. Jaka K1, Kinisi 01, Unitree G1). - Two diversion in use case: One side focus on utility (Figure, X1, etc.), the other focus on companionship (Enchanted Tools, Andromeda, etc.) Category imo: - Unique Design: Fourier, Enchanted Tools, Slightly Overdone Robotics, Pollen Robotics. - Unique Actuator: Clone Robotics - Best Capabilities: too soon to tell, too much online cherry picked demos instead of real life demonstration. - Most Natural Motion: Cartwheel Robotics, Pollen Robotics. - Highest Cost: Tesla. Hmu or comment below if you want the list.

Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics(X-Humanoid) just closed a massive 700M RMB ($97M) funding round. 💰🤖 They’re also teasing the "TienKung" 3.0, coming off the back of some wild performance milestones from their current fleet. ➤ The Funding: Backed by big names like Baidu and Beijing’s AI Industry Fund, this round shifts the center from R&D into serious commercial scaling. ➤ Proven Track Record: Their "TienKung Ultra" already bagged the first-ever humanoid half-marathon and holds a 21.5s 100m sprint record. ➤ Industry Ready: Their TianYi 2.0 platform is already hitting the floor in factories and warehouses through partnerships with companies like Cummins and Bayer. ➤ What’s Next: This cash is going straight into making their "TienKung" and "HuiSi" platforms fully autonomous and ready for real-world labor. It’s clear they aren't just building lab projects anymore—these bots are headed for the assembly line.

Robots from China are ready to become your soul companion. 🤖 Today (June 30), Chinese robotics company UBTech officially launched the U1 Series — a full-size ultra-bionic humanoid robot. Equipped with a nurturing emotional AI model, it features soft synthetic skin, incredibly realistic facial features and appearance. I touched its “skin” — it’s soft, glossy, and elastic, but cold to the touch, lacking the warmth of a real human body. How much would you pay to take one home? #UBTech #U1Robot #HumanoidRobot #AICompanion

Genesis AI just unveiled Eno. It's humanoid robot that challenges everything the industry assumed about what robots should look like. Forbes just called it 'the iPhone moment for humanoid robots'. No head. No face. No exposed motors or cables. 22 degrees of freedom per hand with different finger lengths (like actual human hands). Back-drivable for safety. Onboard cameras and tactile sensors. In demos: bundling wires with tape (genuinely hard, tape is sticky and unpredictable), performing lab automation with millimeter precision on unmodified equipment. Optional chest screen shows the robot's reasoning before it acts, a visual window into its mind to build trust. Powered by Genesis AI GENE foundation model. Payload 3-5kg per arm, 4-6 hours battery. Industrial deployments late 2026, homes much later. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

teleoperator kicking himself over not programming Asimov's Laws of Robotics... Worth considering if we should base today's reality on the science fiction musings from the past. Testing with humanoid robots is a very interesting new challenge. Historically robots have been confined to keep out zones with rigid walls and laser barriers, lock-out/tag-out, etc. This is the easy way to ensure people don't get hurt by very capable machines. But the more we integrate humanoid robotics into collaborative roles with humans the more we need to remove those barriers by nature of the work.

The next manipulation tool may not live on your screen. It may stand in front of you look into your eyes and convince you that it understands. Would you rather face a humanoid robot strong enough to hurt you or one designed well enough to make you trust it? This robot copies blinking, eye contact, head movement and facial expressions to create the illusion of human presence. That may look impressive but it also opens a darker question. When a machine can look concerned appear friendly and imitate emotion people may start trusting signals that contain no real feeling no empathy and no moral responsibility. So which is more dangerous a robot with physical power or a robot that can manufacture trust? #HumanoidRobot #Robotics #AI

Even Bloomberg and Reuters—two of the most relentlessly anti-China media outlets—could not avoid revealing the truth in their own question: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced a ban on imports of humanoid robots without naming any country. Yet China is currently the dominant supplier. What is China’s response? The funniest part is this: China holds six of the world’s ten most innovative humanoid-robotics start-ups, including a clean sweep of the top five, while the United States is falling behind. So competition was renamed “national security.” China’s response was unusually direct: Protectionism will not make the United States more competitive. It will only hurt American companies and consumers. The message is simple. If American robotics were genuinely competitive, Washington would not need to remove Chinese firms from the market by decree. A ban may keep Chinese robots out of America. It will not stop Chinese companies from dominating the rest of the world. You can close your market. You cannot legislate away an industrial trend. America is not banning Chinese robots because they failed. It is banning them because American robots did.

The most dangerous part of a humanoid robot may be the face. UBTECH’s Walker shows how a machine can use gaze stillness and humanlike expression to create trust before proving judgment reliability or accountability. Should robots be allowed to look this human in public spaces? Putting the debate aside this is clearly a work of art. Congratulations to UBTECH for this achievement. Walker looks so refined that I may need to buy one fast before the stock runs out lol. Credit : UBTECH Robotics

Hong Kong’s humanoid movers may be arriving soon. Hong Kong-based NineRay has just released its third humanoid robot, RayNexg3. Built for heavy-load handling and material transfer, especially in high-risk settings like radiation or toxic environments. At 1.73 m and under 60 kg,roughly adult size--It can deadlift over 100 kg, hold 60 kg with both arms, and in the demo steadily carried and placed a 50 kg barbell while responding to voice commands. Hong Kong faces severe aging and a shortage of young workers. Robots like this are necessary.

I spent a month in Shenzhen visiting factories and robotics companies, and the contrast with the U.S. was striking. While Figure and Boston Dynamics hide their humanoids behind closed doors, Chinese companies have massive showrooms open to the public. But what really stood out wasn't just the transparency, it was how good they are at selling. Take UBTech: they've already sold 1,200 humanoid units at $200k each to factories. And here's the kicker, these robots aren't even that useful yet. They can only pick up and drop boxes at 1/10th the speed of a human, and factories still need to hire system integrators to train them for specific tasks. My theory is that these factories are terrified of getting left behind in the robotics/AI wave. They're investing in new tech not because it's ready, but because they can't afford to wait. The second surprise was the breadth of their robotics portfolio. These companies aren't just building humanoids, they're deploying service robots everywhere: restaurants, hotels, apartments. Consumer robots are cleaning houses, pools, pet waste, dishes. They're covering the entire spectrum. But the education piece shocked me most. I picked up what I thought was a high school or college robotics textbook, it was for primary school. The government mandated AI and robotics education starting in elementary school. Almost every single school in China now has AI and robotics curriculum, complete with education robots so kids can learn by building. They're creating a generation that grows up fluent in robotics and AI. China owns the supply chain and the hardware stack. But here's what I think people are missing: the race isn't just about who can build robots faster or cheaper. The U.S. advantage has always been in the layer between hardware and human, the interaction design, the software intelligence, the intuitive interfaces that make complex technology feel natural. China is building the physical infrastructure, but they're also learning fast. Every deployed service robot, every classroom full of kids building with education kits, every factory running humanoids, that's all data collection at scale. The window for the U.S. to establish its wedge is narrowing. It's not enough to be better at AI or software anymore. We need to be building the integration layer, the intelligence that makes physical AI actually useful, not just impressive in a showroom. Because right now, China isn't just manufacturing robots. They're manufacturing a robotics-native culture, and that might be the most defensible moat of all.
