Real-time full-body mirroring is the sport, not a shortcut around it, the same way F1 isn't diminished by a driver being in the car

BERLIN, IFA 2026, THIS WEEK: TWO UNITREE HUMANOIDS JUST BOXED EACH OTHER LIVE ON THE SHOW FLOOR, AND NEITHER ONE THREW A SINGLE PUNCH ON ITS OWN

BFM Tech confirmed it right after the match: every jab, hook, and kick was being puppeteered in real time by a human operator standing just off camera, not run by onboard AI.

The robots themselves are still the real engineering story, standing about 130cm tall, built to absorb hits and rebalance instantly after getting rocked, which is why they can take a punch without face-planting mid-fight.

IFA Next this year is the largest humanoid robot showcase in the event's history, with G1s dancing in formation right next to the boxing ring, some of them visibly out of sync with each other mid-routine.

Crowds cheer the fight like it's autonomous combat. It's closer to a puppet show with very expensive puppets.

L’industrie de la robotique humanoïde se bat entre deux approches

Et il est extrêmement important de les connaître

1. Main à tendons (tendon-driven)

Les moteurs sont dans l'avant-bras. Des câbles tirent les doigts, comme nos tendons.

+ Doigts légers, très dextres, souplesse proche de l'humain
- Fabrication et calibration complexes. Pour réparer, il faut souvent démonter le poignet.

Exemples : Tesla Optimus V3, 1X NEO, Agibot Omnihand Pro.

2. Actionneurs dans les doigts (in-finger)

Chaque moteur est dans la paume ou la phalange qu'il bouge

+ Contrôle simple, assemblage simple, maintenance facile
- Doigts plus lourds, moins de dextérité, chaleur difficile à évacuer

Exemples : Figure 03, Unitree Dex5-1, Sharpa Wave, Robotis HX5

Aucune des deux n'a vraiment gagné

C'est la question ouverte du hardware humanoïde en 2026

[ARC @ARC_Katena]

🤣 those failures might be the most interesting part from the World Humanoid Robot Games

Months of prep. One robot. One kickball game. Then came the rain... 🌧️

Our robot kickball game at Wrigley Field with @ARCL_Katena was rained out during the InspereX Diamond RIA Conference.

But we still had fun putting our robot skills to the test in the batting cage, and as KraneShares Head of Marketing Joe Dube put it:

“We did something more important. We made new friends.”

We’ll call that a win :)

This is where the market is heading towards

[Reuters @Reuters]

Humanoid robots are not quite ready to take over factories, but they’re getting closer and fast. The potential is huge as analysts estimate the humanoid market could reach $5 trillion by 2050, with more than one billion in use. Adam Patti from VistaShares spoke to Reuters on this

[ARC @ARC_Katena]

@EHuanglu So quick that the camera man was not able to catch up with the speed😂

[el.cine @EHuanglu]

the craziest moment from China’s AI robot race

[KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat]

Chinese robots play soccer autonomously at the World Humanoid Robot Games

They’ve got a long way to go, but that penalty kick was pretty damn good

[Reuters @Reuters]

Humanoid robots compete in 51 events at the World Robot Games in Beijing, including sports and scenario-based challenges in factories, restaurants and emergency-response settings https://t.co/psGhXnR5Cb

[RoboHub🤖 @XRoboHub]

The humanoid Olympics are back: 2,056 robots, five days of racing, fighting, football—and actual work. 🤖🏅

The 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games just opened in Beijing: 666 teams from 16 countries, competing across 51 events. Last year had just 26.

The speed jump is already ridiculous. Robots are now running the 100 m in the low-9-second range, while Tien Kung Ultra reached 2.88 m in the standing high jump.

But the viral sports clips aren’t what I’m watching most.

This year, autonomy matters a lot more. The 400 m, 1,500 m and relays are fully autonomous, while the 21 scenario events test robots on factory work, rescue, household tasks and dexterous manipulation. Teleoperated runs only get 0.5× scoring weight.

That’s the part that makes this year much more interesting than 2025. Fast running gets attention. Staying autonomous through long, messy, real-world tasks tells us much more about which robots are actually getting closer to real deployment.

[CyberRobo @CyberRobooo]

9.3s…Humanoid robots have proven they can run faster than humans.

The first to cross the finish line was X-humanoid's Tienkung. Honor's Lightning has a fast start, but lacks explosive power in the later stages.

Here's what happened in robotics this week 👇

[ARC @ARC_Katena]

5/ US-based Serve Robotics expanded its autonomous delivery fleet with Grubhub this week, live at 100+ merchants in Chicago and nearly 200 in LA.

Real robots, real deliveries, real scale.

Serve Robotics CEO Ali Kashani says that delivery robots won't fully replace human couriers, but they will bring delivery costs down.
