Robot news, automation trends, and practical robotics insights, without the hype. Humans first, robots close behind. Tracking technology that serves people.
If I had to line up humanoids for the FIFA World Cup this is what I would do.
NEO on the left wing because 1X is chasing the home robot role.
Optimus as striker because Tesla brings manufacturing pressure.
Figure 03 on the right because Figure is pushing the general purpose worker angle.
Phoenix in midfield because Sanctuary AI is focused on dexterous hands and labor tasks.
Walker S as the playmaker because UBTECH is strong in service and industrial demos.
GR 1 in midfield because Fourier brings the healthcare and assistive robotics angle.
Atlas in defense because Boston Dynamics still sets the standard for balance and body control.
Apollo beside it because Apptronik is built around warehouses and repetitive work.
Digit in defense because Agility Robotics has one of the clearest logistics use cases.
H1 on the right because Unitree brings speed, mobility and aggressive hardware.
G1 in goal because small humanoids may become the training ground for developers and labs.
My captain: Atlas for movement legacy.
Who would you put as captain?

The Star Wars-inspired Ringbot has received a major upgrade and is now called Ringbot Quad.
Developed by Professor Joohyung Kim and his team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the new version features four legs instead of two.
Rather than using a traditional drivetrain, it moves with four independent driving modules, each connected to a leg.
The most famous humanoid in Poland Edward Warchocki. His proprietary software and AI "brain" were programmed by Radosław Grzelaczyk and Bartosz Idzik from the Polish robotics company MERA Robotics.

🇵🇱 This is Poland’s viral humanoid robot, Edward Warchocki.
He’s been spotted chasing off wild boars and even met with Polish PM Donald Tusk.
He will not replace us… except perhaps on the dance floor.
It was just a matter of time before big players discover the market. Google joining with these 2 models. One runs on Raspberry Pi5 and the other Jetson Orion Nano, from NVIDIA. I would like to see how they can move independently.

At a humanoid half-marathon in Beijing, the Mini Pi Plus robot by High Torque Robotics stood out with its cute and steady walking style.
The 75 cm tall robot uses 22 degrees of freedom and precise servo joints for smooth movement.
Built with an open-source modular design, it is being developed for robotics research and as a companion robot.
The future has arrived!
After a long wait, we are finally ready to reveal our complete space humanoid HELIOS.
After two semesters of intense work, research and iteration, this is what we have to show.
4 arms. 4 hands. 1 vision. 1 dream.

@AIPILabs Interesting product and project. If I understand correctly this may be the missing piece of many new robotic designs. Will like to explore more.
