Japan's Yugo proved semi-humanoids are the pragmatic factory path: at Tokyo's Physical AI Summit Sept 16, its Yugo Nova bot autonomously tightened a screw—no flashy biped, just repeatable dexterity. #Yugo #PhysicalAI #IndustrialRobot

Figure's $39B valuation proves humanoids are now a VC asset class, not a science project. Its Sept 13 Series C raised over $1B led by Parkway, with Nvidia, Intel Capital and Brookfield joining. #FigureAI #HumanoidRobot #VentureCapital

Europe is finally industrializing humanoids. NEURA and Italy's SECO will mass-produce compute modules for the 4NE-1 with Qualcomm Dragonwing chips. A $7B bet with a $1B order book now has hardware muscle. #NEURA #Europe #HumanoidRobot

IFA Berlin 2026 became the largest humanoid showcase ever. 100+ firms filled the embodied AI zone Sept 4-8—Unitree boxed, AgiBot did tai chi. When a consumer show becomes a robot expo, the category has arrived. #IFA2026 #HumanoidRobot #EmbodiedAI

Altman finally said it out loud: OpenAI will build humanoid robots. On Sept 2 podcast he confirmed in-house hardware plus data center form factors. OpenAI Robotics launched June—sim-to-real is the moat. #OpenAI #HumanoidRobot #AI

Musk procurement ultimatum tells you everything: Optimus is no longer a side project. Tesla targets 1,000 units/week this month, 2,000-2,500 by year-end. Fremont Model S/X line is now an Optimus factory. The volume game begins. #Tesla #Optimus #HumanoidRobot

HONOR x ARRI collab is the dragon that rules them all. Cinema-grade camera tech in a smartphone. Other collabs are cute but this one's epic.

Magic V6 camera setup looks solid from what I'm seeing at MWC. Can't wait for full reviews but early impressions are strong. #HONOR #HONORMWC2026 #HONORMWCLaunch #HONORMagicV6

Show skeptics the V6 zipline test. Know someone who thinks foldables fragile? This changes the durability conversation. Mainstream ready. #HONOR #HONORMWC2026 #V6Zipline #HONORMagicV6
