## Ranked

1. [Messinator: 140 years of soccer self-play onto a real humanoid](https://x.com/SkildAI/status/2102807730331492500) — @SkildAI. Still the contact tape: policy trained in a virtual World Cup, then transferred. Dribble, shield, tackle on a body. The number to audit is sim-to-real contact, not the nickname. Heat 28149. 2029 likes, 1056 bookmarks, 1751680 views.
2. [Unitree Dex5-S: 22-DoF backdrivable hand from $6.5k](https://x.com/UnitreeRobotics/status/2101996861259395234) — @UnitreeRobotics. Official SKU is still compounding: 1:1 hand size, every joint backdrivable with impact-torque limits. Views crossed a million. Two hands still cost almost a G1. Watch whether 22-DoF is usable data or an action-space tax. Heat 19219. 2322 likes, 532 bookmarks, 1181537 views.
3. [HomeBody: GPT Astra on a humanoid in an unseen kitchen](https://x.com/giohuh_/status/2103671433679224912) — @giohuh_. Still climbing. Long-horizon tidy and retrieve from ambiguous speech, no env-specific training. Watch latency, resets, and whether the body is a real controller or a puppet for a language model. Heat 14863. 2413 likes, 1061 bookmarks, 656496 views.
4. [Eidon shuts down and open-sources glove, tracker, 1.2k hours](https://x.com/theSamPadilla/status/2102533979291443495) — @theSamPadilla. Post-mortem with BOMs: IMU arm kits, Hall-effect 19-DoF Homunculus glove, $60/h sold data. Hardware people should grab the glove repo and the logistics failure mode, not the vibe. Heat 10960. 1516 likes, 1629 bookmarks, 234259 views.
5. [FLUX 3 Action: open 7B world-action model into LeRobot](https://x.com/bfl_ai/status/2102816874782241174) — @bfl_ai. Open weights that predict video and actions together, RoboLab first place, Jetson path with NVIDIA. Fine-tune recipe ships. This is a policy you can put on an arm, not a closed VLA card. Heat 7659. 1815 likes, 918 bookmarks, 173762 views.
6. [Opus 5.5 designs, prints, and pulls a part off the bed](https://x.com/dimentary/status/2104094838035820607) — @dimentary. Closed loop on a Seeed reBot B601-RS: model CAD, send to printer, open the lid, extract the part. The hard bit he named is lid + grasp, not the render. Real arm, real printer, real failure surface. Heat 5168. 1511 likes, 520 bookmarks, 126145 views.
7. [XGO-Duck: open desktop bird you can build this weekend](https://x.com/luwu_dynamics/status/2103112122851103051) — @luwu_dynamics. Luwu ships a fully open Microduck-class body now instead of waiting on the year-end SKU. Parts list, weekend DIY. Desktop open hardware, not a closed G1 you cannot print. Heat 3244. 679 likes, 479 bookmarks, 51943 views.
8. [Reality Check: 14.4k real FR3 Duo rollouts, public board](https://x.com/Nicolas_Keller/status/2104832660791308542) — @Nicolas_Keller. Jumped overnight. Independent Munich farm, object placements down to screws, confidence intervals. First card: pi0.5, MolmoAct2, GR00T N1.7, DiT-Flow. This is the eval a hardware person can actually argue with. Heat 2949. 559 likes, 366 bookmarks, 74102 views.
9. [Asimov 1 walk policy + Isaac Lab recipe, BSD-3](https://x.com/asimovinc/status/2103323417198182531) — @asimovinc. Checkpoint plus training code: rewards, hardware-tuned actuators, domain randomization. Follow-up shows a non-engineer training fall recovery on one 4090. This is the open humanoid stack you can fork, not a teaser. Heat 1733. 311 likes, 178 bookmarks, 56838 views.
10. [Seeed reBot B601 lands in LeRobot: 2.5 kg, ACT on 200 folds](https://x.com/LeRobotHF/status/2104519372333048112) — @LeRobotHF. Official stack: DM and RS arms, 6-DoF plus gripper, towel fold from 200 demos. Same body as the Opus printer clip. This is the buyable desktop arm path next to SO-101. Heat 1172. 371 likes, 129 bookmarks, 22801 views.
11. [Atlas on a real production line, first parts to final assemble](https://x.com/BostonDynamics/status/2105001090072609148) — @BostonDynamics. Not a parkour clip. Factory footage of Atlas being built: fixtures, harnesses, assembly sequence. Hardware question is whether this is a pilot cell or a rate the BOM can hold. Heat 1171. 490 likes, 85 bookmarks, 27284 views.
12. [Adafruit flags a fully open humanoid arm for physical AI](https://x.com/adafruit/status/2104666356633489862) — @adafruit. Pointer post to an open 7-DoF research arm (QDD joints, bilateral force, in-hand camera). High bookmark density for a hardware link. Read the BOM and teleop loop, not the headline. Heat 982. 237 likes, 142 bookmarks, 14192 views.
