Unitree's IPO will be a defining moment for humanoid robotics. For us, it is a moment to reflect on why Virtuals began building in robotics early, and why we’ve doubled down since. Here’s how far we’ve come since day one.

Sundar Pichai on the robotics opportunity: ⦿ He's impressed by recent humanoid progress - so much so that he sometimes has to look closely to tell if a robot video is real or fake. ⦿ Google initially moved too early into the application layer, but now sees the combination of AI and robotics as the “sweet spot.” ⦿ He believes we’re 2–3 years away from a “magical moment” in robotics. ⦿ Google is working on playing a role similar to Android in robotics - one of its internal bets is already focused on supporting robotics manufacturers. ⦿ Gemini robotics models will work very well - how to productize them is still an open question at the company.

I will NEVER get over baby Taylor Swift’s reaction to her first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. 🥹 That moment is pure perfection. We’ve been here since day one!

Just in! Unitree files for a ~$610M IPO after delivering 5,500+ humanoid robots, ~1.7B RMB in revenue, and gross margins above 60%, making it the only company in the category operating at scale with profitability. This IPO sets the first public market benchmark for humanoid robotics and begins to define how the sector will be valued, funded, and expanded going forward.

Smarter than us. Stronger than us. Cheaper to run. That's the species we're building. I sat down with Andrew Kang of Robo Strategies to explore what that means for investors, for society, and why he thinks humanoid robotics looks a lot like Bitcoin in 2014. As ever, please enjoy!

Andrew Kang turned a few early stage robotics investments into a $500 Million publicly traded empire RoboStrategy He is widely considered THE leading investor in robotics Andrew Kang believes the ChatGPT moment for Robotics is happening RIGHT NOW and it will be BIGGER THAN BITCOIN This interview is a masterclass on Robotics investing in 2026 1:18 – Why robotics today feels like crypto in 2015 4:23 – Is robotics a bigger opportunity than Bitcoin? 10:30 – Robotics 101: players, problems & bottlenecks 16:40 – Who's leading the race: Tesla vs Figure 23:10 – China's 100+ robotics companies & the real investment risk 25:28 – US vs China: who's actually ahead? 33:40 – How many human jobs will be replaced? 38:00 – The "ChatGPT moment" for robotics 43:55 – UBI & the new social contract 46:30 – Why Andrew built Robo Strategy 51:20 – Lessons from Bitmine, MicroStrategy & Saylor 1:07:50 – The Boston Dynamics question 1:12:09 – His most contrarian bet: avoid model-only companies 1:19:55 – Tesla or Figure? 1:23:26 – Figure's valuation in 5 years: bear, base & bull 1:29:20 – Final words of wisdom

Find out what went down with EtherMage when I visited the newly launched Eastworlds Robotics Lab by Virtuals Protocol The Base Batches 003 finalists for the Robotics Track will be doing a month long residency at Eastworlds Robotics Lab before their demo day at NS on May 7th. Don't miss the opportunity to catch live robots in action!

3 months ago, my friends and I quit our jobs, packed our car, and drove from Toronto to SF to build a robotics startup. Since then, we’ve built an MVP, signed pilot agreements, demo’d in 8 luxury high-rises, and got backed by Founders Inc. Here’s how it’s come along

Robotics Agentic dev.. in the browser?? We just shipped our biggest feature push yet on OORB Studio. The vision is to make it the Replit for robotics, to prompt → plan → apply → run sim → collaborate in real-time with your team. If you’ve ever lost a day to ROS setup, come break it with us ⬇️ We will be LIVE tomorrow on ProductHunt! OORB Open Organic Robotics

“If you’re going to solve a hard problem and make something meaningful, you have to be relentlessly resourceful.” I spoke with Mehul from Matic Robots on how AI is unlocking Robotics 2.0 and why the timing couldn’t be better. “We are reimagining robots from scratch… and something that we’ve all dreamed about which is the Wall Es and the R2 D2s.” “We thought it was time for robotics 2.0. That is what Matic is bringing.”

Thank you, Secretary Kennedy. We’ve been waiting and praying for this moment since the day you took office. This is leadership grounded in courage, truth, and real public health.

A few months ago we set out to understand exactly how our models can be used to accelerate progress in robotics and other AI systems that don’t just represent the world, but are actually able to interact with it. We’ve been collaborating with leading companies in the space and we’ve developed an initial approach that we're now opening up to accelerate development across the industry. Our fifth announcement is GWM Robotics. GWM Robotics is a learned simulator that generates synthetic data for scalable robot training and policy evaluation, removing the bottlenecks of physical hardware.
