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.

Humanoid progress is often measured in a few awkward steps.
This prototype begins inside a safety frame. Seconds later it walks forward without visible support. The gait remains slow and tilted but the robot is managing balance and weight transfer.

Seven years ago, Agility,then still a subsidiary of Ford,conducted tests using Digit to deliver packages to customers' homes.
Boston Dynamics is testing a last-mile delivery solution, helping get packages from van to doorstep with less strain and greater efficiency. Learn how and why we're taking on one of the biggest supply chain challenges: bosdyn.co/4w2by8J

Xiaomiが、自社の人型ロボットが自動車工場で働く様子を公開しました
公開された内容によると、
・自動ナット取り付けの成功率：90.2％ → 98％
・センターコンソール側面パネルの取り付け成功率：90％
・部品箱の折りたたみ成功率：90％
さらに、柔らかい部品を長時間扱う作業にも初めて成功したとのこと
今後は、高精度なロボットハンドや、複数のロボットによる協調作業の実証も進めていくそうです
EVだけでなく、人型ロボットまで自社で開発・実用化を進めるXiaomi
Xiaomiはもう完全に中国のTeslaですね

U.S. based humanoid robotics company @1x_tech has just unveiled their new tendon-driven robot hands with 25 degrees of freedom (DOF).
• Made in USA
• Tendon Drive Ratio: 5:1–15:1
• Wrist Dexterity: 3 DOF
• Backdrivability: Fully backdrivable
• Tactile Sensing: Pressure + location + slip
• Finger Force: Up to 45 N
• Wrist Torque: 17.75 Nm
• Position Accuracy: ±0.2 mm
• Waterproof Rating: IP68
• Reliability: >2 million cycles
"These hands are designed to do something fundamental: remove the hardware ceiling on what humanoid robots can actually do, and make data the only barrier to capabilities. By matching or surpassing human hands across the dimensions that matter, they ensure our AI models are no longer limited by dexterity. NEO can now perform virtually any task a human can do with their hands– with the precision, adaptability, and gentleness required for real-world environments."

Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robot just stole the show at the World Cup
During halftime of the Brazil vs Norway Round of 16 match, Atlas handed the match ball to the referee and nailed Erling Haaland’s signature goal celebration.
Hyundai Motor Group completed its 100% acquisition of Boston Dynamics last month.
---
Mass production is already underway this year with a full order book. The company plans to scale to 30,000 units by 2028, with the first batch of Atlas robots deployed at Hyundai’s Metaplant in Georgia for material handling, component installation, and order fulfillment.

Unitree Robotics introduced Anti-Gravity mode for its G1 humanoid robot last year, improving its balance and stability.
With this update, the G1 can walk, turn, perform complex movements, and quickly recover after stumbling or falling.
The upgrade marked another step toward making the G1 more resilient for dynamic real-world environments.

🤖 TESLA'S OPTIMUS HAND IS GETTING CLOSE TO HUMAN-LIKE MOVEMENT
Leaked footage shows the next-generation Optimus V3 hand performing precise human-like finger movements.
Engineers say the Gen 3 robot is approaching human form and function, "It won't even look like a robot. It will look like a human in a superhero suit."

Unitree Robotics A2 Stellar Explorer is a rugged quadruped robot designed to tackle challenging environments.
It can traverse difficult terrain, carry payloads of up to 25 kg while walking, and operate for more than five hours or around 20 km on a single charge without a load.
It can also climb steep slopes, making it physically capable of accompanying users on demanding hiking adventures.

A drone that flies through the air... and swims underwater. 🌊
Built by student engineer Andrei Copaci, this hybrid drone transitions between two completely different environments using variable-pitch propellers, custom software, and a 3D-printed design.
And it works. What's remarkable isn't just the technology.
It's that a single student was able to design, build, and program a system that would have required an entire research team not long ago.
Today, access to AI, advanced design software, rapid prototyping, and affordable electronics allows individuals to build technologies that once belonged only to large corporations and government labs.
The future may not be shaped by the companies with the biggest budgets. It may be shaped by the people with the best ideas.
What happens when one person can build what once required an entire organization?

Unitree has demonstrated the voice-to-action capabilities of its humanoid robot G1.
The robot can understand natural language voice commands in real time using automatic speech recognition.
It can then autonomously generate and perform a wide range of actions based on those instructions.

Shanghai-based robotics company AGIBOT has updated its Lingxi X2 humanoid robot with smarter motion capabilities.
The robot can detect moving objects around it, predict their path, and quickly move out of the way.
Lingxi X2 can also climb stairs, keep its balance on uneven surfaces, and move more smoothly.

This is the NUDT mosquito drone, a spy UAV built by China's National University of Defense Technology for covert surveillance you can't see coming.
Under 0.3 grams. Wings that flap 500 times a second.
Sensors built for covert surveillance, all packed into a body you'd swat without thinking.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is likely AI-generated. CCTV’s official report shows China’s “mosquito robot” as a different device, not the insect-like object in this clip.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed ANYmal, a quadruped robot that can play badminton with humans.
The robot tracks the shuttlecock, predicts its path, and moves into position to return shots.
Its control system coordinates vision, movement, and racket swings to play the game effectively.
