A fleet of four AI-powered robots just installed 100 megawatts of solar panels at a utility-scale project in California.

One panel per minute. No labor shortages. No fatigue.

Maximo's robots, built with NVIDIA simulation tools and AWS infrastructure, just proved that physical AI works at energy scale.

OpenAI is back in physical robotics, with 11 hardware roles now open in San Francisco at $210K to $310K base: actuators, electrical, simulation, even 3D printing.

The stated near-term goal is robots that help build data centers and power grids. Hiring its way in, again.

@AIExplainedHQ @BostonDynamics Insane how much balance and movement has improved

[Robotics Daily @RoboDaily]

.@BostonDynamics' electric Atlas just landed a ghost rabona, a behind-the-leg trick kick that takes full-body balance most people never learn.

It is the newest drill in the Hyundai football series teaching Atlas athletic movement.

How long before a humanoid out-dribbles a pro?

@NVIDIARobotics So adorable

UBTECH's Walker C1 performed Swan Lake ballet alongside human dancers at Chain Expo 2026, demonstrating synchronized choreography and precise balance control.

Walker S2 already has 500+ units deployed. UBTECH is targeting 10,000 annual units by year end."

Boston Dynamics' Atlas just learned soccer by watching World Cup footage.

The humanoid studied game film, mirrored the moves, and ran football drills to improve balance and whole-body control.

The 2026 World Cup starts in two weeks. Atlas is ready.

Unitree just reported a 52% plunge in adjusted Q1 profit days before its June 1 IPO hearing.

Revenue surged 68% to $ 58.3M. Profit collapsed from $ 11.7M to $ 5.6M as R&D costs spiked and a price war took hold.

Seeking to raise $ 619M. The timing could not be worse.

Energy giants are buying their way into robotics.

$GEV just acquired Robotech Automation to deploy custom robotics across its wind turbine manufacturing facilities in New York and Pennsylvania.

The two companies are already collaborating on active supply chain projects. Deal closes Q3 2026

GigaAI just deployed 100 SeeLight S1 robots into Wuhan apartments for free home testing. It cooks, does laundry, cleans toilets, then washes its own grippers in the sink.

$440M raised. Price: $28,000. Target: below $14,000.

Would you let a robot clean your home?

China just assigned every humanoid robot a national ID. 29 characters. Manufacturer, hardware specs, AI level, serial number — tracked from production to recycling.

China controls 84.7% of global humanoid robot production. Now it's writing the traceability standards too.

AGIBOT just released BFM-2, its second-generation Behavioral Foundation Model. The company calls it robot muscle memory.

Knocked flat? It recovers autonomously. New task? One demonstration is enough.

The gap between watching and doing is closing fast.

New wheeled-humanoid from Elite Robots

https://t.co/9gXYc6xAyW

[Robotics Daily @RoboDaily]

BREAKING: ELITE Robots just launched the Centaur-G1, a wheeled humanoid targeting sub-millimeter precision manufacturing for optical module assembly and AI infrastructure.

7 DOF dual arms. ±0.1mm repeatability. Powered by a self-developed VLA model called Yuanqi Primo.

Most wheeled humanoids target logistics. This one is going after the hardest precision tasks in electronics manufacturing.
