Xiaomi’s robot just got handed two harder jobs at its EV factory. 🤖 It already hits 98% on self-tapping nut loading. Now it’s sorting large, flexible center-console panels and folding totes — both at 90%. The bigger step isn’t the numbers. It’s the control stack: whole-body reach, bimanual regrasping, active compliance, precise fingertip control, and multi-robot coordination. From one station to several. From doing a task to coordinating with other robots. That’s the real shift.

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 →

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.

Its 3-DOF waist allows for human-like bending and lateral body movement. A key feature is the G2's globally first-of-its-kind cross-shaped wrist force-control arm, which uses precision joint torque sensors and joint impedance control to delicately perceive external forces and respond smoothly. For continuous operation, the G2 supports autonomous charging and features a dual-battery hot-swapping system, meeting the 24-hour cycle demands of factory production lines. During the launch event, AgiBot demonstrated the G2’s ultra-low latency remote operation (teleoperation) capabilities. Operators successfully demonstrated precision shots (like hitting a floating balloon in Shanghai while operating from Beijing), showcasing the robot's high accuracy and low latency in both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight scenarios. The G2 is already being deployed across four key real-world scenarios: In automotive parts production, it assists humans with tasks like safety belt lock core pressing and material handling. In precision operations, it used reinforcement learning to master delicate tasks like inserting memory sticks in just one hour. In logistics, the G2, enhanced by AgiBot's OmniHand dexterous hand, efficiently handles various package types for sorting and loading. Its strong mobility allows it to adapt to over 95% of factory floors. AgiBot is also commencing the first batch of commercial deliveries under an over 100 million RMB procurement contract with Joyson Electronic, formally landing the G2 in the automotive parts manufacturing sector.

For continuous operation, the G2 supports autonomous charging and features a dual-battery hot-swapping system, meeting the 24-hour cycle demands of factory production lines. During the launch event, AgiBot demonstrated the G2’s ultra-low latency remote operation (teleoperation) capabilities. Operators successfully demonstrated precision shots (like hitting a floating balloon in Shanghai while operating from Beijing), showcasing the robot's high accuracy and low latency in both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight scenarios. The G2 is already being deployed across four key real-world scenarios: In automotive parts production, it assists humans with tasks like safety belt lock core pressing and material handling. In precision operations, it used reinforcement learning to master delicate tasks like inserting memory sticks in just one hour. In logistics, the G2, enhanced by AgiBot's OmniHand dexterous hand, efficiently handles various package types for sorting and loading. Its strong mobility allows it to adapt to over 95% of factory floors. AgiBot is also commencing the first batch of commercial deliveries under an over 100 million RMB procurement contract with Joyson Electronic, formally landing the G2 in the automotive parts manufacturing sector.

Figure AI, a 🇺🇸US humanoid robot startup, has ignited debate over robot commercialisation on industrial sites by livestreaming on YouTube a humanoid robot deployed at a logistics warehouse sorting packages non-stop for more than 81 hours, while it processed more than 100,000 packages. “Jim” visually recognizes boxes, identifies the orientation of labels, and moves them to designated locations—making all judgments using only its internal computer. It works autonomously without remote control. Expert opinions are divided. One expert described the demonstration as "closer to a science project than a fully commercial service." She cited accuracy as the biggest challenge, noting that scenes throughout the video showed the robot failing to place parcels in precise locations. Some point out that in actual logistics environments, precision matters more than speed, and areas such as handling exceptions or communication between workers remain difficult for robots at this stage. While the robot's sustainability in simple, repetitive tasks has been confirmed, additional verification remains before broad commercialization, observers said. When commercialised, Figure AI robots are expected to cost from $30,000 per unit.
