“I’ve never seen any technology advance faster than this.” The chip shortage may be behind us, but AI and EVs are expanding at such a rapacious rate that the world will face supply crunches in electricity and transformers next year, says Elon Musk.Cont… Continue reading Elon Musk: AI will run out of electricity and transformers in 2025
You’ve seen a ton of videos of humanoid robots – but this one feels different. It’s Sanctuary’s Phoenix bot, with “the world’s best robot hands,” working totally autonomously at near-human speeds – much faster than Tesla’s or Figure’s robots.Continue R… Continue reading High-speed humanoid feels like a step change in robotics
Most humanoid robots pick things up with their hands – but that’s not how we humans do it, particularly when we’re carrying something bulky. We use our chests, hips and arms as well – and that’s the idea behind Toyota’s new soft robot.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Toyota’s new soft humanoid picks things up with its whole body
It seems the Figure 01 won’t just be making coffee when it shows up to work at BMW. New video shows the humanoid getting its shiny metal butt to work, doing exactly the sort of “pick this up and put it over there” tasks it’ll be doing in factories.Cont… Continue reading March of the humanoids: Figure shows off autonomous warehouse work
“The video contains no teleoperation,” says Norwegian humanoid robot maker 1X. “No computer graphics, no cuts, no video speedups, no scripted trajectory playback. It’s all controlled via neural networks, all autonomous, all 1X speed.”Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading OpenAI’s Eve humanoids make impressive progress in autonomous work
It’s a shock video because Atlas is unboxing and racking shocks – sorry about that. But it’s also a shock because Atlas has always been a humanoid robotics research platform, not a commercial product – and this new video has us wondering.Continue Readi… Continue reading Shock video shows Atlas robot training for automotive work
Figure has signed its first commercial deal, and is sending its general-purpose humanoid robots off to start real-world work at BMW’s manufacturing plant in South Carolina. Founder and CEO Brett Adcock talks us through this rubber-meets-road moment.Con… Continue reading Figure’s humanoid robots are about to enter the workforce at BMW
Elon Musk has Xeeted out a video of Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot folding a t-shirt – which would be great, but then followed up with a second Xeet clarifying that the video is far less impressive than it looks – after being called out by observers.Co… Continue reading Busted: Elon Musk admits new Optimus video isn’t what it seems
When we last heard from LimX Dynamics, the Chinese robotics firm was showing off a quadruped robot that could walk on legs or roll on wheels. The company has now released a video of its new humanoid robot, which can autonomously climb stairs.Continue R… Continue reading Video: LimX humanoid robot climbs stairs that it scopes out in real time
