built the ๐ค @huggingface@LeRobotHF SO-101 arm on a mobile vehicle, running pi0.5 VLA policy. with 1 picking-and-dropping task success rate is 96%๐, but it doesnโt seem to listen to me yet.
Humanoid robots are starting to build humanoid robots.
UBTECH just put a 14,000ใก humanoid robot factory into operation in Liuzhou, China, with a designed takt time of one humanoid every 10 minutes and planned annual capacity in the tens of thousands.
Whatโs interesting is that humanoid robots are already part of the production process.
Cruzr Y1 and Y2 handle depalletizing, palletizing, material feeding and transport, using 3D vision to adapt to shifted boxes and changing pallet patterns. On the assembly side, Walker S2 and Cruzr are produced on the same line alongside cobots, autonomous logistics vehicles and assistive manipulators.
The factory also has a 65ใก automated warehouse capable of storing 112 humanoids, with AGVs, industrial robots and stacker cranes coordinated as one system. Before production, the factory was modeled 1:1 in Siemens Plant Simulation, covering workstations, racks and AGVs. Each robot gets its own SN, with components, batches, assembly parameters and inspection data tracked all the way to delivery.
Humanoid robots are now entering automated manufacturing at the 10,000-unit scale.
The next milestone may be when they can take part in enough of the assembly, testing and production process to truly build robots themselves.
The hand looks finished. The overlay is the tell: warped marker field, 320ร240 matrix, 100 Hz back to the host, 0.1 N on a paperclip, 20 N on a spray can.
We keep seeing this pitch in Shenzhen meetings. Founders want โskin.โ Vendors bring a heatmap.
Two different BOMs. Piezoresistive film is what is already moving in tens of thousands of sets. A camera-in-gel fingertip is a different stack: elastomer, printed dots, tiny module, calibration jig, spare tips.
If you are speccing a hand this quarter, ask which contact layer ships with the unit you can actually buy โ and what fails first, the motor or the pad.

The robot in this video is amazing.
I feel this even more clearly because I participated in this competition last year and watched it in person.
The difficulty of the obstacles has increased.
The required movements are much more diverse.
Last year, it took almost twice as long as the speed I am seeing now.
Few robots managed to pass through properly.
Many teams used Unitree robots.
Through this competition, they are naturally showcasing the advancements of Chinese products.
1. At the robot exhibition, they presented products that are leading the way in the robotics field.
They are emphasizing the volume of production and the fact that these products can be deployed immediately in the field.
2. In fact, you cannot fully trust their claims just by looking at the exhibition.
We usually don't believe salespeople 100%.
However, they are demonstrating it with our own eyes through the robot sports day.
The result is as follows:
At this level, I should buy one and test it out.
Until now, humanoid robots have actually only been utilized in the field of research and development.
However, I believe that in the future, purchases by companies that can be considered end-users, or by firms engaged in B2B business targeting other companies, will increase.
How should Korean companies respond?
We must take the lead in the very tasks mentioned above.
Now that robots of this caliber have emerged, there should be an increase in attempts to deploy them within our own companies or client firms for pilot testing.
This is because data is ultimately accumulated during that process.
After actual deployment, we may find that field application is still difficult.
Nevertheless, it is highly significant that we have begun to secure the data essential for field deployment within the next few years.
If companies in China, Japan, or other countries do this first, we will not be able to get ahead of others.
The crossroads of choice have now arrived.

Announcing EGO1GS โ the world's first smart egocentric capture device.
Global-shutter stereo, stereo audio, 400 Hz IMU. And EgoHand: an on-device model that knows whose hands it's seeing, in real time. ๐งต
The most viral home robot on the internet doesn't exist.
This one is AI-generated - the perfect chrome body, the soft bathroom light, the washing machine loaded with care. Rendered, not built. Millions of views anyway.
The caption is Indonesian: "POV: single, but not alone."
Laugh, then look at the numbers. Videos of fake home robots pull more views than real ones. People tag partners, write "I need this," share it to 5 group chats.
That's not entertainment. That's demand - measured in views, for a product nobody's shipped.
Every share is a preorder from the future. Loneliness plus laundry is a trillion-dollar market wearing a joke as a mask.
People don't share the robot. They share the wish.
Unfortunately Frank, Rose, Bob and Gary the humanoids all just lost their jobs to a pair of faster, lower cost, more reliable robot arms.
Superhuman robots will beat humanoids for every industrial application with scale.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo developed Lunavity, a drone backpack designed to help people jump higher.
Its rotors provide upward thrust, allowing users to jump two to three times higher than normal.
It also helps them float down slowly, creating a feeling of reduced gravity.
Booster T2 is now available.
Smart. Powerful. Built to Perform.
