A flying robot that moves like a snake in the air. 🐍🤖

This multi-jointed aerial robot can bend its body mid-flight and grasp objects with precision.

A new generation of drones is going beyond flying they’re learning how to interact with the world.

Human hands are remarkable partly because they maintain themselves: skin renews, minor damage heals, and biological tissue continuously adapts to repeated use.

Robot dexterous hands don’t.

Today’s commercial dex hands typically cost $5k–15k and many advertise a lifespan of roughly 1 million manipulation cycles.

That implies a theoretical hardware depreciation alone of around 0.5–1.5 cents per manipulation—before accounting for maintenance, recalibration, downtime, or replacing worn components.

My hypothesis: for high-frequency, low-value work, the real bottleneck may not be AI—it may be cost per manipulation. If the wear cost of each successful grasp approaches the value created by that task—or even the hourly cost of human labor in lower-wage markets—the business case starts to break down.

The companies that win won’t just build more dexterous hands.

They’ll build hands where wear is predictable, modular, and inexpensive enough that every grasp still makes economic sense.

This robot doesn’t work on the factory floor.

It works on the wall.

Built by RobotPlusPlus, it uses magnets to move across steel surfaces.

Its dual arms can weld, grind and inspect hazardous structures.

Operators control it remotely through VR.

robotics is the future.

not content.
not another SaaS wrapper around an LLM.

robots.

• machines that sense, think, and act in the physical world.
• machines that move energy, matter, goods, people.
• machines that collapse labor, expand productivity, and rebuild entire industries.

the future isn’t digital-first anymore. it’s physical-first with intelligence.

manufacturing → robotics
logistics → robotics
agriculture → robotics
construction → robotics
defense → robotics
healthcare → robotics
homes → robotics

every sector that still depends on human hands becomes a robotics problem.

and the demand is bigger than the talent pool by orders of magnitude.

learn perception.
learn control.
learn actuation.
learn embedded.
learn kinematics.
learn systems engineering.
learn how to make machines move.

the next trillion-dollar companies will be built out of metal, motors, sensors, and code.

don’t stay stuck in 2D screens.

the future is 3D, autonomous, and mechanical.

Godfather of AI Yann LeCun reveals the humanoid robot industry's secret: the companies building the robots have no idea how to make them smart enough to be useful.

"There is a lot of expectations that robotics is going to be a revolution, essentially, in a big market, eventually."

"But the secret of the industry is that none of the companies at the moment that are building robots, like humanoid robots, none of those companies has any idea how to make those robots smart enough to be useful."

"There's a big push for AI to make progress towards... understanding the physical world. That's what is prompting this investment."

"There's nothing wrong with investing in LLMs. LLMs are useful. They're just addressing a completely different set of applications, really."

LeCun is not describing someone else's problem. He has spent 15 years on world models, raised more than $1 billion for AMI Labs to build that missing intelligence layer, and in the same interview he calls 2026 the year of the world model and puts consumer robots 3 to 5 years out.

Every humanoid robot demo you have seen is a body waiting for a brain. The winner in robotics will not be the company that shipped the body; it will be the one that ships the intelligence.

Researchers at the RAI Institute have developed the Ultra Mobile Vehicle, a two-wheeled robot that can perform bunny hops, jump onto tables, make sharp turns, and balance on two wheels using reinforcement learning.

Its AI-powered control system continuously improves driving, landing, balancing, and track stands through trial and error.

The RAI Institute unveiled the Ultra Mobile Vehicle in February 2025.

🇨🇳China’s Run Robotics unveiled a hybrid "Centaur" robot featuring a humanoid upper body and a wheeled-legged lower body. Designed for heavy-duty and dangerous environments like nuclear plants and mining, the platform combines the speed of wheeled locomotion with the obstacle-traversal capabilities of legs.

Prices for enterprise / industrial clients are expected to start from $150,000 per unit.

It’s happening: a humanoid robot has left the ground.

iRonCub3 uses four jet engines mounted on its arms and back.

The 70 kg prototype produced more than 1,000 N of thrust and climbed roughly 50 cm during testing.

Still tethered. Still experimental. But it flew.

Across cotton fields in Shawan City, in China's Xinjiang region, intelligent agricultural robots equipped with cameras, sensors, and autonomous driving technology are managing over 100,000 hectares of cotton — collecting real-time crop data, calculating precise pesticide and fertilizer doses, and spraying autonomously. One robot covers more than 6.7 hectares per hour, and a single technician can operate up to five at once. Meanwhile, a laser-topping robot developed by Xinjiang University and EAVision uses lidar, machine vision, and a high-powered blue laser to vaporize each plant's terminal bud — detecting buds with 98.9% accuracy and working about 10 times faster than manual labor. With over 90% of Xinjiang's cotton already machine-picked, cotton farming is edging toward full automation.

Sabanto is attempting to scale a different model for agricultural autonomy.

Instead of building ever-larger machines, it retrofits existing tractors so one person can supervise several smaller vehicles working at once.

Sabanto says three to five autonomous 100-horsepower tractors can outperform one 500-horsepower machine at 50–70% of the cost.

One of its largest customers operates 25 autonomous tractors simultaneously. In an earlier deployment, a single autonomous 60-horsepower tractor planted more than 750 acres of corn and soybeans in one season.

They raised an oversubscribed $17 million Series A in 2022 and today announced an undisclosed, oversubscribed Series B to increase production and expand across hundreds of additional farms over the next 12 months.

Terrafirma CEO @noah_schochet and his co-founder started by building homemade robots out of Tupperware containers from their lunchboxes.

Today, the company announced a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins.

Terrafirma's first paying customer was their landlord, who asked if their robots could demolish a building.

"We went around asking, 'Who is willing to let us make some money with these robots?' Our landlord said, 'Hey, I got a building for you to demolish. You think you guys can do it?'"

"We literally operated the robots ourselves and knocked down a couple buildings and got paid our first check."

"We were like, 'Whoa, you can just become a robotic construction company.'"

This robot does not choose between two legs and four. It switches between both depending on the terrain and the task.

The Qiyuan T1 lowers its body for stability around furniture and uneven ground. It can also rise to interact closer to human height.

One robot. Two locomotion modes. A very different approach to personal robotics.

Robotics essentials: POWER

A humanoid can walk, lift, and reason.
It just can't do it for a full shift.
Energy is the quiet ceiling on the whole field.

A humanoid carries under 2 kWh of battery, a fraction of a small EV's pack, because every extra cell adds weight the actuators then have to carry.
Tesla's Optimus holds about 2.3 kWh and draws 250 to 500 watts, more when lifting. That buys roughly 2 to 4 hours of real work per charge.
A human does similar movement on about 80 watts.

Lithium-ion tops out near 280 to 300 Wh/kg today, and you can't just add cells without making the robot heavier and hungrier. So the two ways out are both about the shift, not the charge: hot-swap the pack in seconds and run near 24/7 (Agility's Digit, Apptronik's Apollo), or wait for solid-state cells to raise the ceiling.

The robot that works an eight-hour shift without a cord wins the factory.
Right now, none of them can.
