China unveils humanoid robot with lifelike skin and blinking eyes built for daily life | Prabhat Ranjan Mishra, Interesting Engineering Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) help process and interpret complex data from human interactions. A Shanghai-based company has developed humanoid robots that appear as real as humans. The advanced bionic humanoid robot is integrated with self-supervised AI algorithms. Named Elf V1, the robot can perceive the world, communicate, learn, and interact intelligently with its surroundings. Developed by AheadForm Technology, the robot offers up to 30 degrees of freedom, powered by a precise control system and an advanced AI learning algorithm. Robot offers expressive facial features The robot offers expressive facial features, moving eyes, and synchronized speech. It can also convey emotions and understand human non-verbal cues, making interactions more natural and engaging. The robot has highly interactive capabilities and lifelike appearances. AheadForm expects that its robots could soon seamlessly integrate into daily life, providing assistance, companionship, and support across various industries. “We believe that by developing realistic and expressive robot heads, we can bridge the gap between humans and machines, fostering a new era of interactive and intelligent robotics,” said the company in a statement. Reports revealed that to avoid the “uncanny valley” effect and be able to interact with us, they are given lifelike skin and capabilities to read our emotions and respond appropriately using dynamic expression simulation and emotion generation tech. Bionic skin and high-precision control system The Elf V1 series of humanoids features 30 facial muscles animated by brushless micro-motors and managed by a high-precision control system. Paired with an ability to detect their users’ emotions with low latency and bionic skin, their facial expressions are nearly identical to those of humans, reported CGTN. The company claims it’s pioneering the development of realistic humanoid robots designed to revolutionize human-robot interaction. It’s enhancing sophisticated humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact seamlessly with humans. By combining cutting-edge AI and advanced robotics, AheadForm aims to bring life to machines and transform how humans engage with technology. AI models boost robots’ responsiveness Seamless integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into the humanoid robots can help them process and interpret complex data from human interactions, enabling the robot to learn and adapt in real-time, achieving human-level understanding and responsiveness. AheadForm uses Brushless Motors that deliver ultra-quiet operation and high responsiveness, specifically designed for precision facial movements in humanoid robots. With its compact size, lightweight design, and energy efficiency, this motor is the ideal choice for next-generation robots that require precise, subtle facial control to create a truly human-like experience.

China-based TARS Robotics demonstrated a humanoid robot performing two-handed hand embroidery during a public showcase on December 22, marking a notable step in fine motor control for humanoid systems. The robot threaded a needle and stitched a logo using both hands with sub-millimeter accuracy, working with soft, flexible materials that are difficult for traditional industrial robots to handle due to deformation and variability. According to the company, this capability is enabled by a closed-loop "Data-Al-Physics" system that connects real-world data collection, embodied Al models, and physical execution, reducing the gap between simulation and real deployment. The models are said to be open source when released. Founded in February 2025, TARS Robotics has moved quickly from research to live demonstrations and has raised over $240 million in early funding from the Chinese government, reflecting growing interest in general-purpose humanoid robots for precision and dexterous tasks.

Caltech and TII Launch X1: The Ultimate Multirobot Response Team Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) and Abu Dhabi's Technology Innovation Institute (TII) have unveiled X1, which they dub the world's first multirobot system integrating a humanoid and a transforming drone. The core idea is simple: combine the best of walking, driving, and flying into one package to mitigate the drawbacks of each modality. The system was showcased in an emergency simulation where a modified Unitree G1 humanoid carried M4 (Caltech's multimodal fly/drive robot) like a backpack. The humanoid walked to an elevated spot, bent over, and deployed M4 in drone mode. M4 flew, transformed to drive, encountered an obstacle (a pond), switched back to flight mode to overcome it, and then reached the "emergency" site.

.travis kalanick on why specialized robots beat humanoids for real work: "I'm not anti-humanoid, I'm non-humanoid. There are tasks that are good for humanoids, low scale, high diversity, in human environments, humanoid all the way. But the minute you have a machine doing a high-scale task, we're no longer in humanoid land, we're in specialized robotics land." "There was a moment nine months ago where humanoids were the mega rage of all time. When your hairdresser says he's getting into the humanoid business, we know something's wrong." "If I had to make 1,000 pancakes an hour, I'd never have a humanoid do it, you'd need 100 humanoids going gg-gg-gg. It's like the humanoid Olympics in Beijing, they're doing the marathon and it's cool, but all I could think is, imagine if you put wheels on them. Would you ever put a humanoid in a car to drive it?" "High scale, repetitive tasks do not need to be in human form, and they won't be, because humans are meant to do lots of things at low scale."

Sub-1 hour? Chasing the human half-marathon record? That’s suddenly the conversation around Beijing’s humanoid robot race this Sunday. 🏃‍♂️🤖 A year ago, this event was mostly about finishing. Now the bar is speed, stability, and full-course autonomy. More than 100 teams and 300+ humanoid robots are expected on the line, and nearly 40% of them are entering the autonomous navigation group instead of relying on remote control. The course is not getting easier either. Same 21.0975 km, but with more urban slopes, rolling sections, and park terrain built to expose weak points in control, perception, and endurance. That is what makes this race worth watching. If some of these machines really get close to one hour, the story is no longer “robots can run.” It becomes “humanoids are starting to hold speed, balance, and navigation together over real distance.” And that matters far beyond a race course. This is one of the clearest public tests yet for where humanoid robotics actually stands in hardware, motion control, power systems, and autonomous mobility. Sunday’s headline will be the time. The bigger takeaway will be how much of that pace is still there at kilometer 15, 18, and 21. I want to see who is actually fast, who is truly autonomous, and who can finish without falling apart. That is where the real signal will be.

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.

This is one of the more unusual flying robots I have seen. Researchers at the University of Tokyo built DRAGON, a transformable aerial robot that can change its shape while flying. Instead of a rigid frame, it is made of four linked segments. Each segment has two ducted rotors mounted on gimbals, so every link can redirect thrust independently. • The robot controls its full pose in SE(3) while reshaping mid-air • It can form different geometries to stabilize itself or interact with objects • The navigation stack computes the most efficient shape for the current task • It lifts over 3 kg, which is unusually high for this class of system This effectively turns a drone into a flying manipulator. Not a gripper bolted on top, but the airframe itself becomes the manipulator. The authors also mention an interesting idea for range extension: letting the robot walk on the ground when flying is not required. Paper ——- Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free:

Humanoid Marathon Champion "TienKung" Enters the Factory At IROS 2025, the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center (BHRIC) and UBTECH officially launched the Software Development Kit (SDK) for their general-purpose embodied intelligence platform, "HuiSiKaiWu." This move signals a significant step towards an open-source embodied AI ecosystem. The HuiSiKaiWu platform is designed for ease of use and low-threshold deployment, enabling multi-agent collaboration (one brain, multiple functions/robots). The core "brain" uses a dual-model architecture: the Pelican VLM and the WoW World Model, driving autonomous learning and decision-making. The "cerebellum" includes the cross-body XR-1 VLA Model, which has shown strong performance in rapid, few-shot skill transfer across tasks. BHRIC simultaneously announced its first industrial application: since September 2025, the "TienKung 2.0" and "Tianyi 2.0" humanoids have been deployed at the Foton Cummins engine factory. They autonomously handle material bin fetching and transportation on the "unmanned production line," adapting to various goods and shelf heights. Foton Cummins highlighted the robots' high stability and generalization potential in complex industrial processes. Beyond industrial work, BHRIC showcased other applications: the high-performance "TienKung Ultra" is being used at the Li-Ning Sports Science Lab for running shoe tests, precisely simulating human gaits. The platform is expanding applications across manufacturing, logistics, and sports science. The HuiSiKaiWu SDK is now available for collaborative trials by research institutions and development teams, offering a full toolchain for skill calling and scene deployment. BHRIC plans to gradually open-source its core algorithms, including VLM and VLA models, and hosted the "X-Humanoid Young Talent Meetup" and the "2026 Re-Action Humanoid Robot Challenge" to build a comprehensive developer ecosystem.

🚨 Apple joins the robotics race! Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Apple have developed a robot collision avoidance system. They called it ARMOR and they implemented it on the Fourier GR-1 robot. What is ARMOR? 👘 ARMOR is a system that helps humanoid robots "see" their surroundings better by using small, smart depth sensors placed on their arms.

🚨 Apple joins the robotics race! Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Apple have developed a robot collision avoidance system. They called it ARMOR and they implemented it on the Fourier GR-1 robot. What is ARMOR? 👘 ARMOR is a system that helps humanoid robots "see" their surroundings better by using small, smart depth sensors placed on their arms. It solves the problem of blind spots and occlusions in traditional robot perception, making robots much safer and more efficient.

NEO robot achieves “almost human-like” hand dexterity The Norwegian-American startup 1X has demonstrated new capabilities of its humanoid robot NEO — it has learned to perform fine motor tasks at a level close to humans. The robot can assemble Lego, eat chips, play video games, screw in a light bulb, pick a grape, and carefully hold a wine glass. Previously, one of the biggest challenges for robots was handling small objects — they struggled to understand how much force was needed to grip them. NEO solves this problem with cable-driven actuators and a force-control system: each joint moves the finger while simultaneously measuring pressure. The developers believe these technologies could become an important step toward the creation of universal home robots.

Twitter boi, do you want to see a humanoid AI lab from the inside? Well I do ;) Join me to visit Flexion A world-leading lab building the AI brains for humanoids – in Zurich, one of the best hubs for Physical AI. Their goal? Build the Android of robotics. One operating system that works on any humanoid hardware. It is crazy what their robots can do. We pushed a robot on the stairs. It didn't care. They left one in a rainy forest it was never trained on. Chilled and hiked there. And because they let robots train on their own, from zero through reinforcement learning, the robots do odd inhuman things. Eg they stand up from the ground in ways no human ever would. If their humanoid brain works, this will be industry defining. This is why Flexion is one of Europe's Most Ambitious Startups. 🇪🇺🔥 0:00 Intro 0:38 Inside a Lab with 14 Humanoids 2:17 What’s Actually Inside a Humanoid? 4:43 The Robot Navigates on Its Own 6:31 Why Grasping Is So Hard 7:01 Stairs, Pushes, and Balance Tests 7:55 Training 4,000 Robots in Parallel 10:50 Teleoperation vs Reinforcement Learning 14:35 The Case for Humanoids 15:55 Why Europe Could Win Robotics Please like & RT 🙏

Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun offers a critical take on the humanoid robot boom. Speaking at MIT, LeCun claimed the "big secret" of the industry is that current companies "have no idea" how to make their robots "smart enough to be generally useful." He argues that while humanoids can be trained for narrow manufacturing tasks, a truly autonomous domestic robot is impossible without fundamental AI breakthroughs. For LeCun, this means moving beyond current generative models and toward "world model planning-type architectures"—systems that can learn to understand and predict the physical world. The future of these billion-dollar startups, he says, depends entirely on this next wave of AI research.
