One of the biggest questions we got was, can the humanoid pick up items dropped on the ground? The answer is yes.

Capable remote oversight is one of the foundations of practical robotic operations in the real world.

Here we’re demonstrating our operator teleoperating the robot from our warehouse, miles away from the customer facility, with low latency and picking up the item off the floor.

As we progress to greater autonomy and larger-scale fleets, efficient remote oversight defines the economics of deployment. The more robots one operator can control, the more efficient our business will become.

Mistakes happen. How you deal with them defines a company.

our humanoid robot is handling hundreds of packages a week for major brands at our customer's facility!

here's a sneak peek at one of the challenging tasks we're helping automate - mobile each picking for 3PLs.

When training RFMs, in the wild data has shown to be the most effective. But, collecting data for real world applications like our mobile bin-picking is still labor intensive. At @yonduai, we answered a key question, how can robot operators do the least amount of work? How can we best blend autonomy and teleoperation?

There’s a growing narrative that Chinese humanoid manufacturing is years ahead, fueled by those viral photos of massive humanoid robot armies.
So, I flew to China to see how they’re actually being built.
After touring multiple humanoid + general-purpose robot factories, here’s what I found:

The reality looks nothing like the glossy images.
Instead of futuristic, fully automated production, I saw manual assembly lines, small-batch prototyping, and heavy dependence on outsourced components across the ecosystem - all of which create real quality-control challenges.
