  1. Tue, Nov 36 itemsAgility Robotics cleared a shareholder vote on its $2.5 billion SPAC deal, while a new ISO standard targets coordination across mobile robot fleets. Research also showed humanoids combining walking and manipulation skills without demonstrations of complete task sequences.
  2. Mon, Nov 23 itemsJR East is putting a chainsaw-equipped humanoid to work trimming trees, while Iron is receiving a solid-state battery. A mountain-climbing competition also provided a concrete test of robot mobility and endurance.
  3. Sun, Nov 12 itemsNew reports add details to Meta’s humanoid effort, including a three-month prototype build and second-generation development. Matrix Robotics also plans to establish an R&D center in Korea next year.
  4. Sat, Oct 314 itemsMeta reportedly built a humanoid prototype with Fourier, while Figure AI reportedly froze its Figure 04 design alongside a $3.5 billion compute commitment. Musk denied reports that Optimus orders would open in December.
  5. Fri, Oct 308 itemsAgility Robotics lowered its expected SPAC proceeds to $465 million, while a U.S. investigation concluded that dependence on imported robotics poses a national security risk. Atlas component production plans and new robot capability demonstrations rounded out the edition.
  6. Thu, Oct 295 itemsCommercial scale-up led this edition: Bedrock Robotics secured $600 million, GXO plans Digit deployments at two more sites, and North American robot orders rose 24.8%. Research updates included touch-sensing electronic skin and biomimetic underwater locomotion.
  7. Wed, Oct 287 itemsUnitree reported strong quarterly revenue growth, while Agility added customers and Neura opened a major robotics facility with TUM. Audi’s humanoid logistics tests and new soft-robot and mobility research rounded out the edition.
  8. Tue, Oct 278 itemsBoston Dynamics’ Atlas supply chain is reportedly shifting entirely to Korean suppliers, while Hyundai moves closer to full ownership of the company. Other developments include a planned hospital humanoid deployment, a research robot unveiled with NVIDIA, and artificial skin demonstrated handling fragile objects.
  9. Mon, Oct 266 itemsGXO and Agility announced an expansion of Digit deployments in U.S. operations, while Tesla reportedly plans a 20,000-robot training cluster. Other developments included a reported public-demo failure for Unitree’s H2-X and humanoid mobility research with a quantified simulation result.
  10. Sun, Oct 253 itemsTesla cut its capital-spending forecast as Optimus production began at Fremont, while Toyota entered the humanoid robot race. A synchronized demonstration involving 110 humanoids in China provided a concrete, if limited, coordination milestone.
  11. Sat, Oct 241 itemA wearable system offers a way to capture human activity data for robot training, addressing the coordination needed for everyday manual tasks.
  12. Fri, Oct 233 itemsUnitree reportedly reached cumulative G1 production of 10,000–20,000 units, while Boston Dynamics faces employee opposition over a proposed ICE sale. New research also addresses a control challenge for flexible robot arms.
  13. Thu, Oct 224 itemsTesla has started Optimus production at Fremont, but deliveries are reportedly pushed to late 2027 as hand development remains a problem. Agility is expanding its NVIDIA collaboration for Digit 5, while Unitree unveiled a humanoid with demonstrated rescue and defensive capabilities.
