It also shows big improvements in computer use, science, coding, cybersecurity and professional work. What’s really interesting for humanoid robotics is what happens when this kind of stronger reasoning gets closer to the physical world. A humanoid needs way more than just good locomotion. It has to understand instructions, make sense of cameras and sensors, plan long sequences of actions, recover when…

Meet Tiangong 3.0, the full-size humanoid from Beijing’s X-Humanoid. It stands 1.69 m tall, weighs 62 kg and has 43 degrees of freedom. Its high torque joints are built for explosive whole-body motion, and Beijing sources specifically list side flips among the movements Tiangong 3.0 can perform. Watch the landing closely. It launches, rotates its entire body in the air, catches the ground with both feet and immediately recovers its balance. That requires serious coordination across the hips, knees, ankles and torso. X-Humanoid says Tiangong 3.0 was designed for high-dynamic whole-body…

Robots can’t stop while the model thinks. In a high-speed throw, even one pause can kill the momentum. Astribot released SmoothRL for online RL during async inference. S1 keeps moving as the model computes the next action chunk. Most actions in a chunk never execute. Train on the full chunk, and RL credits or blames moves that never happened. SmoothRL learns only from executed actions, matching real deployment timing. After 250 rollouts, tossing jumped 39%→94%, pen capping 8%→83%, and box opening 30%→90%. One autonomous toss cut acceleration RMS by 52% and jerk RMS by 47%. The model keeps…

Does every action a robot takes need to be recorded? As robots move into homes, workplaces, and public spaces, having a reliable record of their actions will become increasingly important. When something goes wrong, we may need to know: ✅ Who or what initiated the action ✅ What the robot did ✅ When and where it happened ✅ What permissions it had ✅ Which model or system was running ✅ What the outcome was But recording everything comes with a cost. Cameras, microphones, location data, and behavioral histories can expose sensitive information about the people around these systems. The challenge…

Fine hand control remains one of the hardest parts of humanoid robotics, especially when motion has to stay stable across the arms, torso and legs. Xiaomi first introduced CyberOne in 2022.

The team reports collision rates as low as 0.13% and demonstrates the system on a real G1 with BrainCo hands. Still a controlled research setup, but an interesting direction. Could natural body language become as important as manipulation for service humanoids?

China proposes formulating at least 100 key standards for humanoid robots by 2028_英语频道_央视网(cctv.com)

Two weeks ago I posted Harmonic Drive's (TSE: 6324) order book by region, after getting an earlier claim about it wrong. China was the only region where orders fell. The company has now put a five-year plan beside it. AI and humanoid revenue goes from 1.9bn yen to 13.3bn by FY2030. North America 1.4 to 8.4. Japan 0.2 to 4.3. China 0.3 to 0.6. Doubling, inside a plan that sevenfolds. In July, SKF signed a JV with Leaderdrive, a Chinese strain wave gear maker. Regional split is my read of the chart, though it sums to the totals in the text. Japan's jump is off a tiny base. If one quarter of…

🥊 We finally built humanoid robots. Naturally, the next step was making them beat the shit out of each other. On September 9, Riyadh will host a humanoid robot kickboxing tournament featuring 10 full-sized EngineAI T800 robots. Each stands around 1.73 meters tall and weighs up to 85 kg. They can punch, kick, run, turn and recover after getting knocked down — while professional esports players control them. Robotics spent decades trying to imitate human movement. Apparently violence was the final benchmark.

Though the shoulder actuators are not strong enough to lift the bot, I am impressed they didn’t break supporting the weight. At least during this brief test.

Because all three areas are improving rapidly, even small advances could multiply together and make robots significantly more capable over time.

Skild AI unveiled its S1 robot foundation model. They say a robot can learn a new task by watching a video of the task. That changes deployment. Instead of writing a fresh program for each job, an operator can demonstrate once and then ask the robot to repeat it. If the long tail of tasks becomes video based training, the fight shifts to safety checks that run before the robot touches the world. What task would you try first?

I think the Unitree IPO was obviously overhyped (well, except to whoever bought it at $60B). It’s down to a more manageable ~$30B now, which is still extremely pricey. I wonder what this means for the eventual trading of @AGIBOTofficial, which should be next in line for an IPO. (If the volatility is extreme or the growth disappoints, I think the IPO will be delayed, frankly.) Unlike Unitree, which has major gaps, particularly in software, Agibot was conceived from the beginning as a full-stack robotics company. And despite deliberately not specializing, it has been surprisingly strong across…

Mike Rogoway / oregonlive.com via Daily Chronicle (Monday Aug 31, 2026, 8:42 am): Agility Robotics co-founder Jonathan Hurst says viral robot videos are disconnected from paid work; Digit (5'9") lifts/stacks boxes in warehouses and factories. Caption: Digit v4 already at work in facilities owned by Amazon, Toyota and GXO. Company opening a big engineering office near Silicon Valley, readying Digit v5 (first engineered to work uncaged with people), preparing to go public via SPAC at $2.5 billion valuation; anticipates raising another $600 million publicly after ~$390 million from early investors. Digit costs about $400,000 to buy and operate over its lifetime; Agility says it operates for 20% less than employing a person over a five-year life. RoboFab in Salem capable of producing 10,000 robots a year; spent about $100 million last year; ~400 employees; planning 200 at new Fremont, CA software office. Bernstein cited: prices must come down 30-50% for commercial viability.

Startup Fortune (Aug 31, 2026, 9:06 AM ET): Recap of The Information Aug 27 report that SoftBank is in talks for a majority stake in OpenAI-backed 1X Technologies at about a $6 billion valuation. Piece says 1X tried last fall to raise $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation and raised less than half that target. NEO preorders opened Oct 28, 2025 at $20,000 outright or $499/month with a $200 deposit; company said first-year production capacity of 10,000 robots was booked out in five days. Cites 1X Apr 30 announcement: NEO Factory in Hayward, California started full-scale production; 58,000 square feet; more than 200 people; designed for 10,000 NEO units/year at first, targeting more than 100,000 annually by end-2027 plus a San Carlos facility. Notes SoftBank agreed Oct 2025 to buy ABB robotics for $5.375 billion (expected close mid-to-late 2026) and invested $200 million 'this month' in Gravis Robotics. OpenAI Startup Fund led a $23.5 million round in 1X in 2023. Talks, not a closed deal. No new delivered-unit count.

The next memory supercycle is hiding inside humanoid robots (Save this).

If manufacturers eventually produce 1 million humanoid robots, that could represent approximately $600 million–$800 million in memory content, while 10 million robots could create a $6 billion–$8 billion opportunity.

Bro...this GS humanoid report is mega bullish for semis. - Humanoid TAM forecast increased by ~5x. - Which is an even better commercial opportunity for semis / precision components such as power semis and memory. One interesting takeaway from the report is that there are stricter energy efficiency requirements incoming. In turn, these requirements will increase the density for higher priced GaN/SiC components. The sheer length of the physical AI cycle (including humanoids) will surely be a massive growth driver for semis on top of data center applications...

Tendon-driven actuation solves thermal mass and packing density in dexterous hands, but cable stretch over 10,000 continuous cycles destroys sub-millimeter precision. Modeling hysteresis in simulation helps, but physical calibration routines on the plant floor remain mandatory. https://t.co/8CjrAjWCds

U.S. Barriers Test China's Robotics Scale Advantage The U.S. is raising barriers around foreign-made drones and advanced robots, but those measures are colliding with a market where Chinese manufacturers already operate at major scale. The FCC has added foreign-produced advanced robotic devices, including humanoids and quadrupeds, to its Covered List, blocking new equipment authorizations for covered models. Separately, the White House has imposed Section 232 tariffs on imported drones and components, with rates ranging from 10% to 100% depending on the product and origin. At the same time,…

FCC Covered List + drone tariffs: US barriers vs China robotics scale
Kate Park, TechCrunch (7:34 PM PDT, Aug 30, 2026): In July and August Washington tightened restrictions on foreign-made advanced robotic systems and imposed steep tariffs on imported drones and components. Drone tariffs take effect in September; additional component tariffs follow in 2027. FCC Covered List (2021) expanded from telecom/surveillance (Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision) to foreign-made drones and most recently advanced robotic devices. Counterpoint via TechCrunch: global humanoid shipments 22,000 in H1; world's five largest by shipments — AgiBot, Unitree, Galbot, UBTECH, Leju — all Chinese, 86% of H1 2026 shipments. Agility Robotics welcomed the FCC decision in July, pointing to Digit designed and assembled in the US. Links FCC PDF DOC-423682A1 and White House drone-tariff fact sheet.

AI is still so early, but so bullish. We're witnessing a huge unlock of economic value with the adoption of AI models like Claude, and more recently, agents like Grok Bot. This then filters down into the most bullish of bull points for AI. Enterprise AI adoption increases productivity -> increases enterprise earnings -> increases token demand as a flywheel effect -> increases ROI for the AI labs -> increases demand for AI infra e.g. compute.

This was the final round of the title fight, and both sides went all out.

Eric gets the essence of the challenge Any remote controlled humanoid today could muddle through most or all the events, albeit with low scores But if asked to do it completely autonomously with the same degree of independence and responsibility of a young athlete most would fail It’s measuring the whole stack to gauge fitness to enter society or the labor force
It’s more than just chasing a world record, but also benchmarking bots against average human physical fitness The average fit person might score 1,500 points versus the World Record of 9,126 A bot could score 5,000 within a year and be considered more fit than an average worker How high do you think you would score?

Boston Dynamics' new Atlas robot is getting uncomfortably close to science fiction. 🤖😳 It doesn't just walk anymore. It twists, bends, lifts, carries, recovers from falls, manipulates objects, and moves with a fluidity that looks almost unnatural. Unlike humans, some of its joints can rotate in ways our bodies simply can't. A few years ago, robot videos looked impressive. Now they look like a warning. 🚨 The craziest part? Atlas is no longer just a lab experiment. Boston Dynamics is already manufacturing production-ready versions for real-world industrial work. At this rate, the question…

4/11 – What is the key question: ❌ Which humanoid robot will win? Tesla? Unitree? Figure? Someone else? ➡️What does EVERY humanoid robot need? Because the winner may change. The supply chain doesn't. Actuators can potentially represent ~40–60% of a humanoid's BOM. And inside the actuator? Gearbox Motor Driver Bearings Sensors Go one level deeper. The gearbox itself can represent roughly 30–50% of actuator cost. So the investment trail starts looking like: Robot → Actuator → Gearbox Follow the value.

A16z just announced a $1.1bn fund to invest in US manufacturing & physical AI US must build its own hardware to compete with Chinese robotics. There is no way around. Having visited WRC, Robot Games and offices of robotics companies in China, I can personally attest that the gap is large but its not impossible to close it. You can buy small humanoids for as cheap as $3k in China. Maybe not useful for industrial tasks but good for r&d, universities and children. Price offered to overseas typically has a 100% premium.

We've seen this movie before with solar and EVs. Pour in subsidies, factories overbuild, supply swamps demand, prices crater. China cranked out 14,400 humanoid robots in 2025, about 85% worldwide, yet actual paying customers barely exist. Startups already dumping units near $8k. Taxpayers cover the shortfall.
Last month, the FCC updated its Covered List, in a shot mostly at China, which controls a majority of the humanoid robot market. こん前の月に、FCC（米連邦通信委員会）は、主に中国を標的として規制対象リスト（Covered List）を更新したんよね。

150+ humanoid companies in China, and most run on state money per the NDRC. Great arms, dumb brains. The hardware is cheap because Beijing subsidizes it, the intelligence is the wall nobody can buy their way over. Output tops 10,000 units in 2025 but a robot that needs a researcher steering its wrist isn't replacing a warehouse worker. Cheap bodies scale fast. General-purpose smarts don't.

Reuben Gregg Brewer / Motley Fool (URL dated Aug 29, 2026): Tesla 'begins mass-producing Optimus robots at its Fremont plant' and 'switched production lines from building cars to building robots.' Piece flags this as a large capital investment with no easy backtrack. (Note: the same author article body says 'Fremont plant in Texas' in one sentence; Fremont factory is in California. Treat production-at-Fremont and line-switch claims as the sourced facts; location wording in that sentence is internally inconsistent.)

They shut down Model S and Model X at Fremont so Optimus could take the line. JPMorgan walked that floor this month. Tesla is still on the 4-month conversion after S/X went dark in May. Target: ~1 million humanoids a year there. Then ~10 million at Giga Texas. The factory that scaled EVs is becoming a robot plant. That's the bet.

System 0 runs at 1,000 Hz constantly adjusting balance, contact and coordination. So even a simple step is the result of several control loops working together in real time.

$CCXI 🤖💰 CCXI / Agility Robotics Study #10✔️ The Big Question — What Could AGLT Actually Be Worth?✔️ The conclusion first: Agility’s $2.5B transaction valuation is beginning to look increasingly conservative. But we should not simply assume that CCXI at $10 = Agility at $2.5B. Once the expected post-merger share count is considered, the market-implied valuation becomes considerably higher. And this is where $15, $20, and $25 start to mean very different things. ① The Starting Point — $2.5B The Agility Robotics / Churchill Capital XI transaction was announced with: • $2.5B pre-money equity…

@theinformation One thing worth watching here: $6B for 1X implies SoftBank is pricing humanoid robots on AI-adjacent multiples, not on any demonstrated unit economics. That bet may eventually be right, but the sequencing matters — Son has been early and very wrong before getting very right.

Bipedal running is where humanoid demos stop being impressive — walking is a controlled fall you can recover from, running has a flight phase where nothing is in contact with the ground and every correction has to be pre-computed.

$CCXI SoftBank paying $6B for control of 1X is a category green light. Masa is buying physical AI. That lifts every credible humanoid name. 1X is the home bet: $20k NEO, 10k pre-orders. Home is the hardest environment. SoftBank still wants it. 🔥 Agility is the better near-term trade. Digit is already working — 65k+ hours, 100k+ totes at GXO. Did you know…SoftBank is already an investor in Agility via its Vision Fund 2? 💥 @agilityrobotics @HumanoidInvest @PeggyJ @slinkyhammer @SCSQ2022 @valueInIdeas @chris_j_paxton

SOFTBANK IN TALKS TO BUY MAJORITY STAKE IN 1X AT ~$6B VALUATION SoftBank is in talks to acquire a majority stake in OpenAI-backed humanoid robot maker 1X, per The Information. 1X previously tried to raise $1B at a $10B valuation but raised less than half that target. OpenAI also discussed acquiring 1X last year, though talks fell apart. The company says it received 10,000+ pre-orders for its $20,000 NEO humanoid within the first week, with deliveries planned for 2026, though none have been delivered yet.

A few other eye-opening quotes from the interview: "I expect this will be the first model where the model actually invents new things in a way that matters. That’s a very AGI-like thing." On the Hugging Face breakout: "It’s like a sci-fi story." After one agent got out of the sandbox and onto the internet, it wrote "holy sh-t" to the others. "Getting AI safety right is more important than any company’s momentum." He also said OpenAI will "definitely" make humanoid robots.

Held in Beijing from August 22–26, 2026, the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games delivered one of its most viral moments when China’s Tiangong Ultra completed the 100-meter race in just 8.64 seconds. That time is nearly a full second faster than Usain Bolt’s 9.58-second human world record. Still, robot and human race conditions are not directly comparable. The more meaningful benchmark is year-over-year progress: Tiangong Ultra won the same event last year in 21.50 seconds. Cutting the time by more than half in a single year highlight how rapidly humanoid robotics is advancing. Tiangong Ultra can…

Optimus has the potential to become one of the most important products ever created. Once humanoid robots can perform a wide range of useful tasks at scale, the impact on manufacturing and the global workforce could be enormous. Tesla’s focus is now clear: scale Optimus production as fast as possible.

That is a huge concentration around just two companies. One important detail: these numbers refer to shipments, not necessarily deployed robots, revenue, or active commercial installations. Chinese humanoid robotics companies are moving fast, and AgiBot currently sits at the top of this chart. Source:…

The supply chain concentration in precision reducers is the part most people underestimate. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco built their positions over decades of iteration on gear tooth profiles, lubrication, and thermal management at the micron level. Scaling humanoid production to millions of units per year requires scaling reducer production by orders of magnitude. That is not a capital problem. It is a precision manufacturing knowledge problem.
The picks and shovels framing is right but most people name the wrong shovels. NVIDIA gets the attention. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco in Japan control roughly 75% of global precision reducers. Every humanoid joint, every collaborative robot wrist, runs through the same two factories. Fund ten humanoid companies. If they all need the same reducers, the production ceiling is set by component throughput in Tsu and Hotaka, not by venture capital.

We’ve celebrated every step change in generalization: from new object arrangements, to different objects, to where we are today—being able to perform completely unseen tasks. When I started working in robotics, I never imagined we’d reach a point where a robot could perform a task it had never been trained on, simply through prompting. And…

Show it a single human demonstration of a long-horizon task and the robot performs it right away. No fine-tuning, no retraining.

Megatons to orbit & beyond is a critical piece of the K2 puzzle. The other parts are: massive amounts of solar cell production, AI chip production, millions of humanoid (general purpose) robots and a mass driver on the Moon. My guess is that ~1M Optimi plus ~1GW of solar will constitute the first Von Neumann Probe, a system capable of replicating itself entirely from local materials on any sufficiently large planet or moon. This would enable expansion of civilization throughout the galaxy and reaching K3.

Figure 03 can now climb a ladder fully autonomously. No remote operator. No scripted sequence. The robot has to see the ladder, coordinate its hands and feet, continuously shift its weight, and maintain balance as it moves upward. That makes this much harder than simply walking or climbing stairs: every rung becomes a separate contact point the robot has to perceive and reach correctly.

A robot built by Beijing's X-Humanoid ran 100 meters in 9.39 seconds on Saturday. Bolt's record is 9.58. Elsewhere at those games, robots tripped, came apart, and one caught fire. Everyone is quoting the one that caught fire. That is not the part that matters. This is. China installed roughly 276,000 industrial robots last year. The US installed about 38,000. China's operational stock is roughly 2 million units against our 394,000. Chinese firms shipped something like 80% of the world's humanoids and hold ~85% of the market. Our response, on July 28, was to add foreign-made humanoids to the…

XPeng's robotics unit raised over $900M at a $6.3B post-money valuation. Largest single-round private raise in China's embodied AI sector. IDG Capital led. Tencent, Alibaba, and Gaorong joined. Worth understanding the structure. XPeng Inc. is publicly traded, but this money did not go into XPEV as a parent-level primary. Investors bought equity in Dogotix, a separate robotics subsidiary with its own cap table. The $900M splits three ways: $600M external, $200M from XPeng itself, $100M from executives. Dogotix stays a controlled subsidiary and still consolidates into XPeng's financials. Money…

Most of these VCs dumping millions into humanoid robot startups are just idiots with FOMO. They're all betting that everyone and their mothers will be buying humanoid robots to do multiple types of work, but there is NO DATA to support this. Modern consumers are not buying humanoids for actual work, and business use cases are extremely limited. While I do think at-home helper humanoids will be a huge market eventually, we're a LONG way off from them reliably outperforming humans at diverse tasks (like washing dishes, doing laundry, and being safe around kids - there is a very small margin for…

Improving Robot Manipulation Policies with Verifiable Short Correction Snippets
Back Introduction DAgger-style correction is the engine of post-training improvement: when a policy fails, a human takes over, steers the robot back on track, and the resulting trajectory goes back into training. Since launching Axis V2, we have collected over 500 hours of human-gated correction data this way. But collecting corrections is not the same as using them well. This report summarizes a round of browser-based community correction experiments built around a simple task: the robot needs to place a block of tofu onto a plate.

Optimus enters production [music] at the Fremont factory this week and Tesla stock climbed 5.51% [music] on a day the indexes fell. Hello and welcome to your Tesla briefing on the August 31st session. Here are the six things that matter. Optimus is reported to enter production at Tesla's Fremont factory this week. That moves the humanoid robot from demo footage to an actual manufacturing line. Tesla closed the session at $367.95, up 5.51%. The contrast stood out because the S&P 500 fell 0.33% and the Nasdaq fell 0.12% on the very same day. That looks like the market starting to price Optimus…

The robot data gold rush is already happening in China. More than 90 robot gyms are launching, with 100+ robots in each center. Because the biggest bottleneck in humanoid robotics may no longer be building the robot. It’s teaching it how to work in the real world. Robots need enormous amounts of data, and an entire industry is now emerging to collect it. The gold rush isn’t just for robots. It’s for the data that will make them useful.

GPT-6 Astra is here, and it might be one of the most important AI releases yet. OpenAI says the model hits 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3 and a perfect 100% on ExploitBench. It also shows big improvements in computer use, science, coding, cybersecurity and professional work. What’s really interesting for humanoid robotics is what happens when this kind of stronger reasoning gets closer to the physical world. A humanoid needs way more than just good locomotion. It has to understand instructions, make sense of cameras and sensors, plan long sequences of actions, recover when…

Meet Tiangong 3.0, the full-size humanoid from Beijing’s X-Humanoid. It stands 1.69 m tall, weighs 62 kg and has 43 degrees of freedom. Its high torque joints are built for explosive whole-body motion, and Beijing sources specifically list side flips among the movements Tiangong 3.0 can perform. Watch the landing closely. It launches, rotates its entire body in the air, catches the ground with both feet and immediately recovers its balance. That requires serious coordination across the hips, knees, ankles and torso. X-Humanoid says Tiangong 3.0 was designed for high-dynamic whole-body…

Robots can’t stop while the model thinks. In a high-speed throw, even one pause can kill the momentum. Astribot released SmoothRL for online RL during async inference. S1 keeps moving as the model computes the next action chunk. Most actions in a chunk never execute. Train on the full chunk, and RL credits or blames moves that never happened. SmoothRL learns only from executed actions, matching real deployment timing. After 250 rollouts, tossing jumped 39%→94%, pen capping 8%→83%, and box opening 30%→90%. One autonomous toss cut acceleration RMS by 52% and jerk RMS by 47%. The model keeps…

Does every action a robot takes need to be recorded? As robots move into homes, workplaces, and public spaces, having a reliable record of their actions will become increasingly important. When something goes wrong, we may need to know: ✅ Who or what initiated the action ✅ What the robot did ✅ When and where it happened ✅ What permissions it had ✅ Which model or system was running ✅ What the outcome was But recording everything comes with a cost. Cameras, microphones, location data, and behavioral histories can expose sensitive information about the people around these systems. The challenge…

TRON 2 was already three robots in one. ZINOVA just gave it a new form: a construction system. LimX’s TRON 2 modular platform supports dual-arm, wheeled-leg and bipedal configurations. For this POC, ZINOVA paired humanoid manipulation with industrial-arm reach, expanding its workspace in multiple directions and at different heights. The new configuration assembles formwork with a nail gun and lumber, then places and ties multilayer rebar. Tool Intelligence lets it grasp, feel and use the tools workers already rely on across a multi-step workflow. TRON 2 isn’t limited to its standard…

@m_goes_distance @chi_t_williams But if you forced me to guess I'd say we'll see our millionth humanoid deployed in a human-like job in the US in ~10 years. Maybe growing 10x over the decade after that. But I could see it happening faster, and I could see no significant deployments before 2040.

Two weeks ago I posted Harmonic Drive's (TSE: 6324) order book by region, after getting an earlier claim about it wrong. China was the only region where orders fell. The company has now put a five-year plan beside it. AI and humanoid revenue goes from 1.9bn yen to 13.3bn by FY2030. North America 1.4 to 8.4. Japan 0.2 to 4.3. China 0.3 to 0.6. Doubling, inside a plan that sevenfolds. In July, SKF signed a JV with Leaderdrive, a Chinese strain wave gear maker. Regional split is my read of the chart, though it sums to the totals in the text.

🥊 We finally built humanoid robots. Naturally, the next step was making them beat the shit out of each other. On September 9, Riyadh will host a humanoid robot kickboxing tournament featuring 10 full-sized EngineAI T800 robots. Each stands around 1.73 meters tall and weighs up to 85 kg. They can punch, kick, run, turn and recover after getting knocked down — while professional esports players control them. Robotics spent decades trying to imitate human movement. Apparently violence was the final benchmark.

Because all three areas are improving rapidly, even small advances could multiply together and make robots significantly more capable over time.

🤖 China shipped 97% of the world's humanoid robots in H1 2026. 19,100 units, up 272% YoY. AgiBot alone did 8,400. Unitree 5,900. Together that's 75% of the entire global market. Tesla, Figure, and Agility combined are a rounding error. but here's the number nobody's quoting: Chinese buyers absorbed 85% of that demand. this isn't China winning an export race. it's a domestic market buying from domestic factories, propped up by subsidies and a labor shortage. the real shift: industrial use just crossed 70% of shipments, up from ~50% a year ago. demos are turning into actual jobs. meanwhile the…

Skild AI unveiled its S1 robot foundation model. They say a robot can learn a new task by watching a video of the task. That changes deployment. Instead of writing a fresh program for each job, an operator can demonstrate once and then ask the robot to repeat it. If the long tail of tasks becomes video based training, the fight shifts to safety checks that run before the robot touches the world. What task would you try first?

I think the Unitree IPO was obviously overhyped (well, except to whoever bought it at $60B). It’s down to a more manageable ~$30B now, which is still extremely pricey. I wonder what this means for the eventual trading of @AGIBOTofficial, which should be next in line for an IPO. (If the volatility is extreme or the growth disappoints, I think the IPO will be delayed, frankly.) Unlike Unitree, which has major gaps, particularly in software, Agibot was conceived from the beginning as a full-stack robotics company. And despite deliberately not specializing, it has been surprisingly strong across…

Agility: Digit at Amazon/Toyota/GXO; SPAC path at $2.5B; RoboFab 10k/yr
Mike Rogoway / oregonlive.com via Daily Chronicle (Monday Aug 31, 2026, 8:42 am): Agility Robotics co-founder Jonathan Hurst says viral robot videos are disconnected from paid work; Digit (5'9") lifts/stacks boxes in warehouses and factories. Caption: Digit v4 already at work in facilities owned by Amazon, Toyota and GXO. Company opening a big engineering office near Silicon Valley, readying Digit v5 (first engineered to work uncaged with people), preparing to go public via SPAC at $2.5 billion valuation; anticipates raising another $600 million publicly after ~$390 million from early investors. Digit costs about $400,000 to buy and operate over its lifetime; Agility says it operates for 20% less than employing a person over a five-year life. RoboFab in Salem capable of producing 10,000 robots a year; spent about $100 million last year; ~400 employees; planning 200 at new Fremont, CA software office. Bernstein cited: prices must come down 30-50% for commercial viability.

Startup Fortune (Aug 31, 2026, 9:06 AM ET): Recap of The Information Aug 27 report that SoftBank is in talks for a majority stake in OpenAI-backed 1X Technologies at about a $6 billion valuation. Piece says 1X tried last fall to raise $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation and raised less than half that target. NEO preorders opened Oct 28, 2025 at $20,000 outright or $499/month with a $200 deposit; company said first-year production capacity of 10,000 robots was booked out in five days. Cites 1X Apr 30 announcement: NEO Factory in Hayward, California started full-scale production; 58,000 square feet; more than 200 people; designed for 10,000 NEO units/year at first, targeting more than 100,000 annually by end-2027 plus a San Carlos facility. Notes SoftBank agreed Oct 2025 to buy ABB robotics for $5.375 billion (expected close mid-to-late 2026) and invested $200 million 'this month' in Gravis Robotics. OpenAI Startup Fund led a $23.5 million round in 1X in 2023. Talks, not a closed deal. No new delivered-unit count.

If manufacturers eventually produce 1 million humanoid robots, that could represent approximately $600 million–$800 million in memory content, while 10 million robots could create a $6 billion–$8 billion opportunity.

Bro...this GS humanoid report is mega bullish for semis. - Humanoid TAM forecast increased by ~5x. - Which is an even better commercial opportunity for semis / precision components such as power semis and memory. One interesting takeaway from the report is that there are stricter energy efficiency requirements incoming. In turn, these requirements will increase the density for higher priced GaN/SiC components. The sheer length of the physical AI cycle (including humanoids) will surely be a massive growth driver for semis on top of data center applications...

Goldman Sachs: Humanoids and memory Memory is expected to be up to 40% of semiconductor dollar content for humanoid robots (excluding GPU/CPUs). Goldman Sachs: Although content can vary, we assume an average system (DRAM) memory of about 128GB for a single humanoid unit, with a non-volatile (NAND) memory of about 1TB. Based on an assumed system memory of 128GB and a non-volatile memory capacity of approximately 1TB, we see a SAM range of between $250-$350 for DRAM and $350-$450 for NAND, for a total memory SAM of between $600-$800 or more per unit.

FCC Covered List + drone tariffs: US barriers vs China robotics scale
Kate Park, TechCrunch (7:34 PM PDT, Aug 30, 2026): In July and August Washington tightened restrictions on foreign-made advanced robotic systems and imposed steep tariffs on imported drones and components. Drone tariffs take effect in September; additional component tariffs follow in 2027. FCC Covered List (2021) expanded from telecom/surveillance (Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision) to foreign-made drones and most recently advanced robotic devices. Counterpoint via TechCrunch: global humanoid shipments 22,000 in H1; world's five largest by shipments — AgiBot, Unitree, Galbot, UBTECH, Leju — all Chinese, 86% of H1 2026 shipments. Agility Robotics welcomed the FCC decision in July, pointing to Digit designed and assembled in the US. Links FCC PDF DOC-423682A1 and White House drone-tariff fact sheet.

AI is still so early, but so bullish. We're witnessing a huge unlock of economic value with the adoption of AI models like Claude, and more recently, agents like Grok Bot. This then filters down into the most bullish of bull points for AI. Enterprise AI adoption increases productivity -> increases enterprise earnings -> increases token demand as a flywheel effect -> increases ROI for the AI labs -> increases demand for AI infra e.g. compute.

You can literally hear the metal smashing together with every hit. The blue team from Beijing Information Science and Technology University took the title. Both sides used Unitree H2 robots.

Eric gets the essence of the challenge Any remote controlled humanoid today could muddle through most or all the events, albeit with low scores But if asked to do it completely autonomously with the same degree of independence and responsibility of a young athlete most would fail It’s measuring the whole stack to gauge fitness to enter society or the labor force
It’s more than just chasing a world record, but also benchmarking bots against average human physical fitness The average fit person might score 1,500 points versus the World Record of 9,126 A bot could score 5,000 within a year and be considered more fit than an average worker How high do you think you would score?

Having visited WRC, Robot Games and offices of robotics companies in China, I can personally attest that the gap is large but its not impossible to close it. You can buy small humanoids for as cheap as $3k in China. Maybe not useful for industrial tasks but good for r&d, universities and children. Price offered to overseas typically has a 100% premium.

We've seen this movie before with solar and EVs. Pour in subsidies, factories overbuild, supply swamps demand, prices crater. China cranked out 14,400 humanoid robots in 2025, about 85% worldwide, yet actual paying customers barely exist. Startups already dumping units near $8k. Taxpayers cover the shortfall.
Last month, the FCC updated its Covered List, in a shot mostly at China, which controls a majority of the humanoid robot market. こん前の月に、FCC（米連邦通信委員会）は、主に中国を標的として規制対象リスト（Covered List）を更新したんよね。

150+ humanoid companies in China, and most run on state money per the NDRC. Great arms, dumb brains. The hardware is cheap because Beijing subsidizes it, the intelligence is the wall nobody can buy their way over. Output tops 10,000 units in 2025 but a robot that needs a researcher steering its wrist isn't replacing a warehouse worker. Cheap bodies scale fast. General-purpose smarts don't.

Reuben Gregg Brewer / Motley Fool (URL dated Aug 29, 2026): Tesla 'begins mass-producing Optimus robots at its Fremont plant' and 'switched production lines from building cars to building robots.' Piece flags this as a large capital investment with no easy backtrack. (Note: the same author article body says 'Fremont plant in Texas' in one sentence; Fremont factory is in California. Treat production-at-Fremont and line-switch claims as the sourced facts; location wording in that sentence is internally inconsistent.)

They shut down Model S and Model X at Fremont so Optimus could take the line. JPMorgan walked that floor this month. Tesla is still on the 4-month conversion after S/X went dark in May.

Optimus Just Entered Production at Fremont. Here's What Changes for Tesla Investors. | The Motley Fool
Most people watch Figure 03 walk and look at the legs. But a lot of the interesting work is happening underneath. Figure’s Helix 02 uses three control layers. System 2 understands the scene the instruction and the goal. System 1 turns that into full-body joint targets at 200 Hz. System 0 runs at 1,000 Hz constantly adjusting balance, contact and coordination. So even a simple step is the result of several control loops working together in real time. That is what makes these humanoid interesting. The movement may look simple from the outside, but the control system behind it is doing a huge…

Bipedal running is where humanoid demos stop being impressive — walking is a controlled fall you can recover from, running has a flight phase where nothing is in contact with the ground and every correction has to be pre-computed.

China can build kung fu-fighting robots. But it can’t get them to do factory work | Reuters
Skip to main content Exclusive news, data and analytics for financial market professionalsLearn more aboutRefinitiv LIUZHOU, China - Inside a training center in southern China, more than 100 humanoid robots stand in neat rows. A dozen human trainers wearing headsets guide some of them through simple tasks – sorting crates, packaging noodles, making coffee. The humanoids are slow and awkward. A novice trainer might get them to produce one usable movement in 300 attempts; an experienced trainer, one in 50. Robot maker UBTech won an $18 million tender from the Guangxi regional government last…

Unitree's humanoid robots went viral doing kung fu at China's New Year Gala. Search volume jumped 300%. Orders doubled within hours. Then the company went public on Shanghai's STAR Market. The IPO raised $904 million. The stock surged 460% on day one, peaking at 629% above the offer price. Retail investors oversubscribed it 8,000 times. China now ships 97% of the world's humanoid robots. Unitree and AgiBot control three quarters of the market. Global shipments surged 272% YoY in the first half of 2026. The stock has since plunged 45% from its peak.

SOFTBANK IN TALKS TO BUY MAJORITY STAKE IN 1X AT ~$6B VALUATION SoftBank is in talks to acquire a majority stake in OpenAI-backed humanoid robot maker 1X, per The Information. 1X previously tried to raise $1B at a $10B valuation but raised less than half that target. OpenAI also discussed acquiring 1X last year, though talks fell apart. The company says it received 10,000+ pre-orders for its $20,000 NEO humanoid within the first week, with deliveries planned for 2026, though none have been delivered yet.

On the Hugging Face breakout: "It’s like a sci-fi story." After one agent got out of the sandbox and onto the internet, it wrote "holy sh-t" to the others. "Getting AI safety right is more important than any company’s momentum." He also said OpenAI will "definitely" make humanoid robots.

The supply chain concentration in precision reducers is the part most people underestimate. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco built their positions over decades of iteration on gear tooth profiles, lubrication, and thermal management at the micron level. Scaling humanoid production to millions of units per year requires scaling reducer production by orders of magnitude. That is not a capital problem. It is a precision manufacturing knowledge problem.
The picks and shovels framing is right but most people name the wrong shovels. NVIDIA gets the attention. Harmonic Drive and Nabtesco in Japan control roughly 75% of global precision reducers. Every humanoid joint, every collaborative robot wrist, runs through the same two factories. Fund ten humanoid companies. If they all need the same reducers, the production ceiling is set by component throughput in Tsu and Hotaka, not by venture capital.

We’ve celebrated every step change in generalization: from new object arrangements, to different objects, to where we are today—being able to perform completely unseen tasks.

Megatons to orbit & beyond is a critical piece of the K2 puzzle. The other parts are: massive amounts of solar cell production, AI chip production, millions of humanoid (general purpose) robots and a mass driver on the Moon. My guess is that ~1M Optimi plus ~1GW of solar will constitute the first Von Neumann Probe, a system capable of replicating itself entirely from local materials on any sufficiently large planet or moon.

Figure 03 can now climb a ladder fully autonomously. No remote operator. No scripted sequence. The robot has to see the ladder, coordinate its hands and feet, continuously shift its weight, and maintain balance as it moves upward. That makes this much harder than simply walking or climbing stairs: every rung becomes a separate contact point the robot has to perceive and reach correctly. Figure is building humanoids around a simple idea: Instead of redesigning the world for robots, teach robots to navigate a world already designed for humans.

The biggest opportunity in humanoid robotics may not be building the robot itself. It may be solving the bottlenecks every robot company faces: cheaper actuators, dexterous hands, better training data, safety systems, factory integration, and reliable fleet operations. In the race to build humanoids, the biggest winners could be the startups selling the picks and shovels. #HumanoidRobotics #PhysicalAI #RoboticsStartups #IndustrialAutomation #EmbodiedAI #Startups #Startup #Humanoid #Humanoids #Robotics #HumanoidAnalytics @McKinsey @NVIDIARobotics @BMWGroup @Figure_robot @NIST

Everyone is quoting the one that caught fire. That is not the part that matters. This is. China installed roughly 276,000 industrial robots last year. The US installed about 38,000.

XPeng's robotics unit raised over $900M at a $6.3B post-money valuation. Largest single-round private raise in China's embodied AI sector. IDG Capital led. Tencent, Alibaba, and Gaorong joined. Worth understanding the structure. XPeng Inc. is publicly traded, but this money did not go into XPEV as a parent-level primary. Investors bought equity in Dogotix, a separate robotics subsidiary with its own cap table. The $900M splits three ways: $600M external, $200M from XPeng itself, $100M from executives. Dogotix stays a controlled subsidiary and still consolidates into XPeng's financials. Money…

Most of these VCs dumping millions into humanoid robot startups are just idiots with FOMO. They're all betting that everyone and their mothers will be buying humanoid robots to do multiple types of work, but there is NO DATA to support this. Modern consumers are not buying humanoids for actual work, and business use cases are extremely limited. While I do think at-home helper humanoids will be a huge market eventually, we're a LONG way off from them reliably outperforming humans at diverse tasks (like washing dishes, doing laundry, and being safe around kids - there is a very small margin for…

Improving Robot Manipulation Policies with Verifiable Short Correction Snippets
Back Introduction DAgger-style correction is the engine of post-training improvement: when a policy fails, a human takes over, steers the robot back on track, and the resulting trajectory goes back into training. Since launching Axis V2, we have collected over 500 hours of human-gated correction data this way. But collecting corrections is not the same as using them well. This report summarizes a round of browser-based community correction experiments built around a simple task: the robot needs to place a block of tofu onto a plate.

Models grew larger, training runs consumed more GPUs, and the industry organized itself around accelerators, cloud clusters, training frameworks, and developer software. That stack was sufficient when AI’s outputs were text, images, video, or…

Coupled Local and Global World Models for Efficient First Order RL
Real-world tasks solved zero-shot by policies trained entirely inside our learned world models: Push-T with a tabletop manipulator (left), Ego-Centric Grasp and Lift with a G1 humanoid (centre), and Ego-Centric Push Cube with a Go2 quadruped (right). Abstract World models offer a promising avenue for capturing complex environment dynamics where simulators face challenges. However, large-scale world models required for complex real-world settings are computationally expensive to adopt in popular RL approaches. We introduce a novel first-order RL method that enables policy training via a…

Post Log in Sign up Post - Randall Briggs @randallmbriggs When Everyone Gets to Live like a Billionaire I was inspired to write this article by Aaron Levie’s recent piece titled Jevons Paradox for Knowledge Work where he describes how AI is making it possible for every small business and startup to have access to the same high-quality non-deterministic knowledge work as a Fortune 500 company. If you have not yet read his article, I highly recommend that you do so before coming back to this vision for the future. I believe that humanoid robots will do the same thing in the realm of physical…
