Build a simulation (MuJoCo or NVIDIA Isaac Lab) with joints motors sensors and a physics model. 2. Define the task: walk forward while keeping balance. 3. Write a reward function points for moving toward the target staying upright and matching the desired speed. Penalties for falls, wasted energy and unstable movements. 4. A neural network, the policy, reads the robot's state (joint positions, joint velocities, body orientation) and outputs target positions or torques for each joint. 5. An algorithm like PPO updates the policy over many episodes and millions of simulated time steps. 6. Close the sim-to-real gap with domain randomization, then test carefully in the real world.

Tesla says Optimus production has started on its high volume manufacturing lines in Fremont with the first production quality units coming… @techniahqrobot· Oct 21, 2026 Most people just saw a humanoid robot throwing kicks and flipping off cars. But the H2-X has some technical details worth looking at. Here’s what the footage and the available specifications tell us about Unitree’s Kung Fu Legend Guardian. ▪️ Height: approximately 170 cm, according to the H2-X booth panel. ▪️ Weight: approximately 65 kg, according to the same panel. ▪️ Degrees of freedom: 31, covering the robot’s articulated body. ▪️ Joint layout: 6 DOF per leg, 7 per arm, 3 at the waist and 2 at the head. This breakdown is reported for the H2 and has not been independently confirmed for the H2-X. ▪️ Battery endurance: Unitree advertises approximately 8 hours. The operating conditions and runtime during intense movement have not been published. ▪️ Battery design: two battery modules are visible on the robot’s back. Their capacity has not been disclosed. ▪️ Joint torque: figures of up to 360 N·m for the legs and 120 N·m for the arms are associated with the H2. They are not confirmed H2-X specifications. ▪️ Computing power: up to 2,070 TOPS is reported for a high-end H2 configuration. Its use in the H2-X remains unconfirmed. ▪️ Sensors: binocular wide-angle vision, an inertial measurement unit and joint sensors are listed for the H2. The H2-X sensor package has not been fully documented. ▪️ Speed and payload: figures below 2 m/s, 7 kg continuous payload and 21 kg short-duration payload are reported for the H2, not confirmed H2-X ratings. ▪️ Recovery: the demonstration shows the robot getting back up after a vehicle runs over it. No standardized recovery test results have been published. ▪️ Autonomy: no detailed explanation of teleoperation, preprogrammed sequences or onboard decision-making has been released. One detail deserves attention: the booth lists the H2-X at around 170 cm and 65 kg, while many reports quote 182 cm and 70 kg from the older H2. The distinction matters when comparing the hardware. Unitree has yet to publish a complete H2-X datasheet covering torque, computing hardware, payload, battery capacity and autonomous operation. Which specification would you want Unitree to publish first? #Unitree #HumanoidRobots #Robotics #PhysicalAI #AI	Humanoids

9:05 PM ET	@GoingBallistic5	Agility	@GoingBallistic59:05 PM ETAgility @GoingBallistic5 on X Called it, mostly. 👇 A couple weeks back I guessed Digit's fast charge at ~208 A and a ~1.5 kWh pack, and thought even that was aggressive. Agility now confirms: 48 V, 240 A, Nyobolt niobium cells, ~9 min top-off for 90 min of work.… @GoingBallistic5· Sep 16, 2026 Spaculation: Might Digit V5 use LFP batteries? V5 has an unusually high 10:1 run-to-charge ratio: 90 minutes of runtime and only 9 minutes to recharge. Few battery chemistries are built for that charge rate. LFP is one of them. LFP cells are heavier than most chemistries, but they tolerate 0–100% state of charge, support fast charging, and are less prone to thermal runaway and fire, making them a safer fit for a safety-conscious company. Assuming a 48 V architecture (higher voltages raise safety concerns, and Agility emphasizes safe operation) and a nominal 1 kW operating load. 90 minutes of runtime then implies a 1.5 kWh pack. Recharging that pack in 9 minutes would take about 208 A. Current at that level typically needs liquid cooling, something the robot may already have for high-end compute and sensors. Combined with LFP cells, that would also help explain the large backpack and the extra weight (285 lb). thanks to Jordan @LimitingThe for suggesting LFP as a possibility in our exchange early this morning	Energy

The results are way better than we hoped :) - Over 3 hours on a 2600 mAh battery. - Estimated average battery current dropped from ~1.13 A to ~0.82 A, roughly 28% less. - Peak CPU temperature dropped from 114°C to 60°C, with zero thermal throttling throughout the test.
