Sunday Robotics CEO Tony Zhao believes home robots only need to master a handful of chores before they become indispensable. "What is the minimum number of tasks that a robot needs to do to justify its own existence so that people love having it in their homes? I actually think the list is pretty short. The tasks are pretty repetitive. You just need to learn it and just keep doing that over and over again, like folding shirts or loading dishwashers."

Leju Robotics has launched the upgraded KUAVO 5/5-W humanoid and wheeled robots, designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial automation. The robots feature a modular design that is key to flexibility: the legs are quickly replaceable with bipedal configurations (for complex terrain) or wheeled setups (for long-distance stability). The hands are also modular, supporting dexterous hands, grippers, or claws. This adaptability, combined with a rotatable and height-adjustable body, allows the robot to handle a vast range of factory tasks. Built for industrial stamina, the KUAVO series supports a 20kg maximum payload and an upper-body dual-arm payload of 10kg. It is engineered for continuous operation, boasting a battery life of over 8 hours. The control system achieves "silky-smooth" precision via doubled joint communication frequency. To drive high generalizability, Leju relies on a data-driven model. It established China's largest data acquisition center in Beijing (referred to as the "largest humanoid robot skill school") to collect over 6 million data points annually from 1:1 replications of real industrial scenes. This data feeds a universal multi-modal dataset, enabling the robot's "intelligent brain" to continuously learn complex tasks through closed-loop feedback in client factory environments.

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 →

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.

China's humanoid robotics market is on fire. With orders expected to top 30,000 units this year—a tenfold jump from 2024's total of less than 3,000—2025 is officially shaping up to be the "Year of Mass Production." This surge, driven by an expansion into new sectors like industrial manufacturing, logistics, and elder care, is reflected in a wave of new deals across the industry. Here's a look at some of the key commercial progress: Astribot: A 1,000-unit order for industrial and logistics deployment over two years. TianTai Robotics: Signed a major 10,000-unit order for caregiving robots. Noetix Robotics : Received over 2,000 intent orders in one month, valued at over 100 million yuan, with a focus on education and commercial performances. AgiBot: Expects to ship thousands of units this year and tens of thousands in 2026. Unitree Robotics: Has orders for thousands of units and is one of the most visible products in the industry. UBTech: Aims to deliver 500 industrial humanoids in 2025, with educational robot orders already exceeding 300 units. Robot Era: Delivered over 300 units by July 2025 with 500 more on hand. TLIBOT: Has around 1,000 intent orders. Galbot: Secured orders for its supermarket security robot, Galbot, in 100 stores. AI² Robotics: Has nearly 500 orders for its general-purpose robots for industrial and public service scenarios. But here’s the crucial reality check. While the order boom is exciting, it doesn't automatically translate to fulfilled deliveries. Many companies lack the production capacity to keep up. A significant portion of these are "intent orders" or framework agreements, not guaranteed sales. Furthermore, the market is heavily B2B-focused, with consumer demand representing only about 5% of sales. Some orders are even symbolic, for public relations or strategic purposes. This “order frenzy” is a starting point, not the finish line. The true test for China's humanoid robot industry isn't who can secure the biggest order, but who can consistently deliver on it and build a stable market for the future.

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.

Introducing: The Bitcoin Battery. - - - This is a new Bitcoin price oscillator, envisioned as a battery. When in accumulation zones, the battery is full of potential energy. When the battery gets drained to near 0%, this is when the energy has been largely 'discharged', pushing the price near its peak for this cycle. After a cycle peak, time for the battery to fully charge again, so us HODLers can go back to stacking. Today we breached $108,000 - - - this puts the Bitcoin Battery at a 59.7% charge; PLENTY of charge to drain - electrons, Coulombs, amp-hours, watt-hours, etc. - to bring us to the cycle peak. Today that peak would be ~$188,000, but later this year >$200,000 is the target. - - - Follow along if you like this concept and would like to see its updates!

A truly staggering number of AI-powered humanoid robots are emerging from Shenzhen, the booming Chinese tech hub. Shenzhen Dobot, which rose from a Kickstarter campaign to become an industrial automation leader, says its first humanoid robot, Atom, has entered mass production. Atom is positioned as a general-purpose cross-industry worker. Priced around $27,000, Atom boasts fine motor control that’s precise enough to pick up a cherry by the stem. Another major player is Pudu Robotics, which recently shipped its 100,000th service robot. Pudu is commercializing its wheeled and bipedal humanoids using its sizable customer base. Its flagship is the PUDU D9, a full-sized biped built to serve in places like warehouses, stores, and hotels. It sells for between $20,000 and $30,000. A newer firm, AI Squared, recently closed a funding round worth hundreds of millions of yuan to rush its Alpha Bot 2 general-purpose humanoid to market. The startup, founded in 2023, says its AI combines slow reasoning and fast motion planning so its robots can plan, talk, and move simultaneously. An even newer firm, Lumos Robotics, has reportedly raised nearly $28 million in angel funding to develop a full-stack humanoid robotics platform. The second-generation iteration of its flagship robot, the LUS 2, recently demonstrated the ability to get up from the ground in just a second. According to Lumos, the next-gen bot features upgraded actuators and sensors for athletic-level dexterity. LimX Dynamics, known for its agile quadrupeds and bipeds, just shared footage showcasing its CL-3 humanoid’s lifelike walking gait and gestures. LimX says its flagship humanoid can watch human movement videos and replicate them via motion conversion, with no hand coding required. Just a year after its establishment, the startup DIGIT has unveiled multiple lines of sci-fi-inspired humanoids. Its Starwalker robots switch between legged and wheeled locomotion to cover more than 10,000 square meters across multiple floors. They’re available in five different colors. DIGIT also has a robot named Xia Lan with a humanlike face that can show a range of expressions and emotions. The leading Chinese robotics firm UBTECH also recently introduced its first hyper-realistic humanoid robot, Una, intended for applications like customer service and event marketing. UBTECH says it’s begun mass-producing its Walker S humanoid robots that are reportedly helping assemble iPhones for Foxconn. Footage of a so-called intelligent swarm of these humanoids at a Zeekr factory shocked the world. Another EV maker, Xpeng, plans to start mass-producing its Iron humanoids in 2026. The robot reportedly stole the show during the 2025 Shanghai Auto Week. The Shenzhen firm that’s gotten the most attention outside the usual tech echo chambers is Engine AI, which is planning the world’s first full-sized humanoid robot boxing tournament.

The robots are coming . . . for your chores. San Francisco startup Tau Robotics launched last week a commercial cleaning service of semiautonomous humanoid robots, priced at $30 an hour for customers invited to join the initial launch. Sporting a branded suit and head-mounted router, the robots can vacuum the floor, take out the trash and wipe down countertops. They can even wash their own “hands” with soap and water—although at this stage in the tech, it looks like at least that task is much quicker to do with human hands. If Tau figures out how to automate doing dishes or laundry, then we’re really cooking.
