Robot Xiaoliu clocked in at #WAIC# 2026, and the job today? Giving massages.🤖😜 This year, embodied AI and real-world agents have taken over the show. Today we're launching our full-stack embodied AI solution, moving from disembodied to embodied, from fragmented modules to one closed loop, across four layers: → Models. The Hy-Embodied matrix: RxBrain-1.0 pairs text reasoning with visual imagination, VLM-1.0 hits flagship perception at 1/10 the compute, VLA-0.5 unifies vision, language, and action. → Agent framework. TairosAgent and Apexio integrate the brain, cerebellum, and body into one system, on the upgraded Tairos platform. → Cloud infrastructure. From GPU/HCC compute and Astral Network to TI-ONE, TokenHub, and TRTC/TRRO, covering training, serving, and real-time interaction. → Industry applications. The industry's first cloud-based EaaS, Embodied-AI-as-a-Service, taking embodied AI from breakthrough to scale.

[[Robot no.01]] Idk what I'm gonna call these yet, so feel free to shoot an idea for names. But I'm working on making some robot designs. I'm also cooking up some lore for them and stuff. Stay tuned for that.

Matic Robot co-founder @mehul on why Roomba was priced at $199: it's the price where you don't need to ask your partner for permission "The first robot vacuum ever built wasn't Roomba. It was Electrolux Trilobite. It had LIDAR in it. It was $1,500 and failed. Then Roomba came out priced at $199." "We asked the iRobot founders, why did they price it at $199? It's the price at which you don't have to ask permission of your partner to make a purchase. Below $200. It's a gadget-friendly price point." "We extrapolated. Is there a ubiquitous consumer electronics device priced higher than $2,000? Not really. Beyond that, we spend money on cars, or things that are prosumer for our work. Cars, after 100 years of utility, still remain a considered purchase." "If you're building something costing $20,000, $30,000, $40,000, what's the kind of trust we have to build? What infrastructure do we need? Cars have amazing financial infrastructure to enable these purchases. So if you're going to have humanoids costing that much, we will need the same thing." @maticrobots
