A Swiss humanoid robot displaying the faces of world leaders debuted at the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, with its maker saying the tech aims to make human-machine interaction more natural
This microsurgery assistance robot enhances surgical precision by filtering hand tremors and translating a surgeon's movements into ultra-fine instrument control. The technology is designed for delicate procedures where even the smallest movements can affect surgical outcomes.

Optimus V3’s hand is getting scary good.
Hands are one of robotics’ nastiest little problems. Gripping is easy.
Knowing how hard to squeeze an egg, turn a tiny screw, fold fabric, or pick up something fragile without launching it across the room?
Different game.
Tesla engineers say V3 is approaching human-level dexterity:
“It won’t even look like a robot. It will look like a human in a superhero suit.”
Gen-3 Optimus is going to make people stare twice.

Meet Astribot T1, a humanoid robot designed to assist with a wide range of everyday tasks.
Its advanced arms and hands can lift up to 5 kilograms each, making it useful in homes, businesses, and industrial settings.
Standing 1.55 meters tall, it moves on wheels and can operate for around 4 to 6 hours on a single charge.
Chinese hospitals transport medicine using a highly automated infrastructure, relying on autonomous delivery robots and automated track-guided vehicles to move supplies internally.
"The new hand is an incredible piece of engineering. We'll have a production intent prototype ready to show off in February or March 2026. The we're going to be building a 1 million unit production line with hopefully a production start end of 2026.”

🇨🇳🤖️Robots gathered at the IROS 2025 robot conference now being held in China's Hangzhou!
Based on my visual confirmation, most of the robots are from Chinese tech companies, with very few global competitors.
A super-cheap humanoid! 🪙
China just hit a milestone: a consumer-grade humanoid robot for only $1,400.
Beijing-based Noetix Robotics unveiled Bumi, a 94 cm tall humanoid priced at ¥9,998 ($1,400), the first high-performance humanoid in China to dip below the ¥10,000 mark.
Bumi weighs 12 kg, runs 1–2 hours on a 48 V battery, and can walk, run, and dance. It also supports drag-and-drop programming for kids and voice interaction for education and companionship.
This sub-¥10k price point could mark the shift from lab-grade demos to mass-market consumer robots in China.
So we are closer of putting humanoids in schools, homes, and research labs! 🧪
P.S. I doubt they are making any money on these robots :)
Robot is moving much better and smarter now by scanning its environment.
I feel like I'm getting closer to releasing the first public TestFlight.
