Humanoids Need a Pit Crew Too! 🦾🔥 At the Humanoid Robot Games, the competition doesn’t stop at the finish line. During the break, humans rush in to cool down the robots and get them ready for the next round. 🤖💨 Even the toughest humanoids need a little human help!

At the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, the 400m final saw all six competitors break the human world record. The gold medalist clocked 38.15s—nearly 5 seconds faster than any human. Humanoid robots have officially taken over the track. #WHRG2026 #WorldHumanoidRobotGames #400m #Ro

The World Humanoid Robot Games are getting intense! 🤖 During the obstacle race, one humanoid robot lost its balance and took a hard fall. But that’s exactly what makes these competitions so interesting — real-world robotics is not just about walking, but about balance, recovery, control, and res

Beijing, China – The 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games are officially underway! Right now, at the iconic "Ice Ribbon" National Speed Skating Oval, we are witnessing something truly breathtaking. A massive formation of humanoid robots is marching into the stadium in perfect synchronization.

During the WRC, this robot smashed into the wall, went down in flames and sparks, and completely kicked the bucket

See who runs faster #Pnprobotics

Robots are warming up for the track and field events at the upcoming WRC Robot Games. Teams are fine-tuning their machines for sprints and distance races, with some already clocking impressive times in practice runs.

At WAIC, one robot stopped almost everyone in their tracks. It had two robotic legs—but instead of a mechanical head, it wore a highly realistic female head and wandered through the exhibition hall. It was eye-catching, but also strangely unsettling, landing squarely in the “uncanny valley.” Yet

WAIC Highlights: Rideable Quadruped Robot Shocks the Show This year’s WAIC featured an innovative robotic startup unveiling its rideable quadruped robot. Different from traditional inspection quadruped robots, this machine carries adults steadily while walking. It easily navigates stairs, uneve

Interesting work from MIT Improbable AI Lab on DEXOP, introducing Perioperation as a new paradigm for collecting high-quality dexterous manipulation data. By combining natural human manipulation with multimodal sensing (vision, tactile, and hand motion), DEXOP offers a promising direction for sc

China’s Long March rocket program is advancing reusable launch technology with a new recovery approach, marking another important step toward lower-cost and more sustainable access to space. Instead of relying solely on traditional parachute recovery, the new method focuses on precision guidance, a

This bionic hand redefines dexterity. 🤖 22 active DOF – matching human anatomy. Fingertip force >20N, yet senses down to 0.005N. Dynamic tactile array: 1,000+ sensing pixels per finger, 180 fps, sub‑mm resolution. It peels eggs, folds paper, even plays ping‑pong. Rugged: 2.5M press cycl

Revolutionizing Dexterous Hand Control with 3D Vision Bare‑Hand Capture 🖐️🤖 What if you could control a robotic hand with nothing but your natural hand movements—no gloves, no wearables, just pure 3D vision? PNP Robotics is making this a reality. At the 2nd International Conference on Robotic

I am at the Automate Show in Chicago and have tested the teleoperation solution at the Universal Robots booth. At PNP Robotics, we believe data collection is a key pillar for physical intelligence. The industry currently adopts multiple data acquisition methods, such as VR-based control and optica

Why is Franka the go‑to robot for VLA research? VLA (Vision‑Language‑Action) models let robots perceive, understand, and act in one end‑to‑end loop. But they output end‑effector poses, not joint angles – so you need a robot with enough flexibility to execute those commands smoothly. That’s wh

Dexterous hands are becoming one of the key enabling technologies for embodied intelligence. Recently, I had the opportunity to experience the dexterous hand developed by WUJI Robotics. The system demonstrates impressive capabilities in multi-finger coordination, adaptive grasping, and fine mani

Tactile sensing dexterity hands are crucial for physical intelligence. Whether in world model simulations or real-world robotics, touch is non-negotiable. pnp robotics has developed a cutting-edge physical intelligence robot + dexterous hand solution to bridge this gap! 🤖🦾 #Robotics #AI

It looks strangely uncanny watching a bipedal robot walking around with a robotic arm mounted on top of its body. The combination feels unnatural and visually off-balance, like a mismatched hybrid prototype. #HumanoidRobot #Robotics #EmbodiedAI #RobotDesign
