When the 1X Neo humanoid robot enters homes, t'll rely on human operators to start. #1x #humanoid #humanoidrobot #robot #ai #artificialintelligence #futuretech #futuretechnology The OpenAI-backed startup says the logistics of training robots for autonomous tasks in homes is one of the biggest challenges going to market. 1X shared its plans with S3's Jason Carman, who briefly had the robot prototype stay at his apartment. 1X Technologies recently released a short clip of the pre-production model of its NEO Beta AI robot. On the Overpowered podcast, 1X founder and CEO Bernt Øyvind Børnich said the robot could be available in homes sooner than expected He said it'll initially be priced about the same as a modest vehicle. Standing 5 foot 4, the robot weighs just 66 pounds, which 1X says makes it safe for use in households. It can run 7 and a half miles per hour. At that speed, the robot would finish a 5K race in just under 25 minutes, which is well above average for human runners.
Here's how the Tesla Optimus recharges itself. #tesla #teslabot #optimus #airobot #humanoid #humanoidrobot #robot #robotics #robots #ai #artificialintelligence #computervision #industry40 #industrialautomation The AI-powered Optimus robot continuously monitors its battery levels. When it senses that a recharge is necessary, the robot autonomously decides to find the nearest available charging station. Utilizing its 2D cameras, Optimus scans its surroundings to locate the station, showcasing its self-navigation capabilities. Once located, the robot walks to the charging point on its own, ensuring precise alignment with the charger using its built-in sensors. After reaching the station, Optimus plugs itself in using its built-in connectors. The charging process takes as long as needed to fully recharge the robot's batteries. Once fully powered, the humanoid robot seamlessly resumes its tasks. Tesla has recently demonstrated these self-charging abilities in new footage, further proving Optimus’ growing autonomy. Along with recharging itself, the robot can also autonomously explore new areas and collaborate with other Optimus units to create shared maps of its surroundings—an impressive leap toward making robots fully independent. Looking forward, Tesla plans to manufacture a limited batch of Optimus robots for internal use in 2025, with broader availability expected in 2026. The price for these robots is projected to range between $20,000 and $30,000, making them a potentially affordable solution in robotics once production scales. #industry40 #teslanews #ainews #teslaoptimus #ev #elonmusk

China's top industrial humanoid robot is now equipped for 24/7 service. It just needs an occasional three-minute break to swap out its own battery. UBTECH Robotics shocked the world earlier in 2025 with footage of a large fleet of its Walker S1 humanoids performing a wide range of tasks at Zeekr's smart automotive factory. The robots work together as what UBTECH calls an intelligent swarm using the firm’s self-developed BrainNet AI System. According to UBTECH, the robots self-organize and distribute tasks without needing human involvement. With cross-field fusion perception, the robots combine vision, touch, and AI decision-making to understand their surroundings and take actions. The video also shows one of the robots recharging another member of its swarm after it runs out of power suddenly. Now, the Shenzhen-based robotics firm just shared footage of its next-generation industrial humanoid with a sleeker design and more humanlike walking gait. The second iteration of UBTECH’s flagship industrial humanoid, first introduced in fall 2024, features a novel hot-swappable power system, a major step toward around-the-clock operation. While robots like Tesla’s Optimus and Honda’s ASIMO have demonstrated the ability to self-dock to charge themselves, UBTECH’s approach virtually eliminates the required downtime. According to UBTECH, the humanoids can perform full battery exchanges in about three minutes. It remains powered on thanks to its dual battery architecture. Each battery runs for about 2.5 hours per charge. In demo footage shared by UBTECH, a Walker S2 uses its dual arms to remove a depleted battery from its torso and insert a charged module from a docking station, all without human intervention. High-precision positioning and compliance algorithms ensure the connectors align correctly. UBTECH notes that its Walker S2 humanoids use standardized batteries across units so a single station can serve multiple robots. The robotics firm likened the breakthrough to techniques employed by Chinese EV makers like NIO and Geely. According to the company, the humanoid robots can even decide whether to swap or recharge in place depending on the situation. Founded back in 2012, UBTECH initially focused on robots for education and service applications. Their first Walker humanoid debuted in 2018 with a design geared toward consumer and service applications. The company expanded into logistics as it shifted its Walker line more toward industrial tasks. UBTECH plans to ship up to a thousand of its Walker industrial humanoids by the end of 2025. They’re aiming to scale to up to 10,000 units in 2026. Companies who’ve placed preorders include BYD, Foxconn, Geely, SF Express, and Dongfeng Liuzhou. Pricing per unit is estimated at between $68K and $100K, with costs expected to go down as production is scaled. UBTECH also recently unveiled its Walker C commercial humanoid, a panda themed social robot named YouYou, and its first ultra-realistic android, Una. #airobot #humanoidrobot #robotics #ai #robot #industry40 #industrialautomation
he industrial automation leader Techman Robot is fast-tracking Taiwan's first humanoid robot it developed with NVIDIA to mass production. The new Techman TM Xplore I could help smart factories go completely lights out, automating the last bits of work needing human-level precision and adaptability. The AI-powered humanoid robot inherits Techman's vision systems and precision control from its collaborative robots, or cobots, which are especially popular in electronics manufacturing. Techman is vying for second place in the global collaborative robotics market with the Chinese company Shenzhen Dobot, which recently started mass producing its bipedal humanoid, Atom, behind the clear leader, the Danish firm Universal Robots. Among Techman's customers is its parent company, the global manufacturing giant Quanta, which uses its robots to build hardware for companies like Apple, Meta, and Tesla. The industrial juggernaut manages an advanced supply chain with semiconductors, motors, sensors, and batteries that humanoids need to enter the workforce. One of Quanta's main competitors, fellow Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn, is reportedly developing its own industrial humanoid with NVIDIA. According to Techman, the TM Xplore I wheeled humanoid robot is designed to collaborate safely with real people in places like factories, warehouses, and logistics hubs. It runs on NVIDIA's Jetson Orin platform for real-time onboard AI processing. #airobot #robot #robotics #industrialautomation #nvidia #humanoid #humanoidrobot #airobots

The South Korean robotics firm WiRobotics is generating buzz with its new humanoid robot named ALLEX. WiRobotics was launched by former Samsung engineers in Cheonan back in 2021. Its name stands for We Innovate Robotics. The startup initially focused on exoskeleton and wearable robotics to help workers, senior citizens, and physical rehab patients reduce strain and improve mobility. They’re the latest exoskeleton maker to slide into humanoid robotics. Another buzzy startup, Paris-based Wandercraft, introduced its headless Calvin-40 humanoid robot it developed with the European automotive giant Renault Group earlier this year. According to WiRobotics, the new humanoid is built as a modular platform so different parts like arms and hands can be swapped our purchased separately. For now, ALLEX lacks legs or a mobility platform, so its focus is on dexterous manipulation. The ALLEX platform integrates with WiRobot’s highly dexterous hands, which boast 15 degrees of freedom (DoF) across its fingers and wrist. It’s intended for work across household, industrial, and healthcare settings. The name ALLEX stands for All Experience. The humanoid is notable for its reported ability to feel touch and pressure without tactile sensors. Most robots need special sensors that simulate the senses of touch to know when they’re bumping into something. ALLEX’s developers say the robot’s joints and mechanics are so finely tuned and back-drivable that the robot can sense tiny forces through its own structure. They say the mechanics make Alex over 10 times more responsive than typical collaborative robots, also known as cobots. It can reportedly react to taps from objects as light as 100 grams or about the weight of a smartphone. Despite its gentle side, ALLEX is strong enough to push with 40 Newtons of force at its fingertip, which is enough to hold tools and lift a 3 kg object with one hand. WiRobotics says the mix of extreme sensitivity and useful strength makes Alex safer and more natural to work alongside humans. The company says it’s in active discussions with companies like Best Buy, OttoBock, and various healthcare providers as they push into international markets including the US, Europe, and Japan. By 2030, WiRobotics aims to deliver a general-purpose humanoid for everyday life that combines precision, safety, and adaptability. #ai #robot #robotics #humanoidrobot #technology #startup #robothand #robothands

Atlas the humanoid is now learning to assemble other robots autonomousy. The leading Massachusetts-based robotics firm Boston Dynamics just shared new demo footage to show the process its world-famous humanoid robot, Atlas, is making learning tasks autonomously. In the video, Atlas handles and sorts parts for the leading Massachusetts robotics firm’s other famous robot, the quadruped Spot, despite an engineer’s incessant trolling. It hints at a future where AI-powered robots like Atlas assemble other robots without human oversight. Boston Dynamics says the autonomous behavior in the demo is thanks to an end-to-end neural network it’s developing with the Toyota Research Institute (TRI). They’re building on the work TRI began back in 2023, integrating its so-called Large Behavior Model (LBM) so Atlas can respond to natural language prompts with autonomous robotic actions. According to Boston Dynamics, Atlas learns through human teleoperation data. Instead of learning one task at a time, the robot trains on many of them together. The company says this allows for generalization, meaning the robot can handle new situations without extra programming. Atlas practices in the real world and within high-fidelity simulations powered by NVIDIA’s digital twin technology. In simulation, Boston Dynamics says it can double or triple the speed it takes to learn tasks vs. real life. However, the transfer of the skills learned in simulation, a process called Sim2Real (Simulation to Reality), is never seamless. Boston Dynamics has built a hybrid training loop to make transitions from sim to real as painless as possible. The robot’s AI brain is anchored in real-world physics since human demonstrations serve as the foundation of the LBM. Digital twins replicate all 78 DoF of Atlas and simulate how each of its joints and motors work, down to tiny forces and micro movements. Within NVIDIA’s Omniverse, thousands of training iterations are done simultaneously. After simulation training, the physical robot runs through real-world evaluation tasks. Failures are logged, corrections are made via teleoperation, and those adjustments get back into the larger dataset. This creates what’s known as a data flywheel, where each failure teaches the AI model to make the next deployment smoother. Atlas, which began as a DARPA project in 2012, is getting its learn on as it prepares for its first real job for its parent company, Hyundai. According to reports, Atlas robots have spent much of 2025 training for imminent deployment at the South Korean automaker’s US manufacturing facilities. LG Innotek has developed next generation camera and vision components for superior perception on the factory floor. Boston Dynamics and Hyundai also announced a deeper collaboration to produce more robots. Boston Dynamics says it’s scaling up training, with more data, more tasks, and more diverse environments. #ai #bostondynamics #atlasrobot #robotdog #robot #robotics #nvidia #airobot #humanoidrobot #technology
