Figure 03 is now at BMW Plant Spartanburg. Handling sequencing: picking & sorting parts from bin for the assembly line. Powered by Helix 02, it nails dynamic whole-body control--precise picking + pulling heavy carts. --- (Automating scenario by scenario)

A clip With the boost from Google Gemini Robotics, the Apollo 02 is now handling transport, sorting, order fulfillment, and assembly tasks… Worth noting: the Apollo 02 is equipped with dexterous hands from Beijing INSPIRE-ROBOTS.Previously, Apptronik had been using PSYONIC's bionic hand.

Peru now has its own humanoid robot: Xpertus, developed by local company Glexco🇵🇪🤖 Billed as the country’s first advanced AI-powered humanoid, it stands about 1.1 meters tall, weighs 60kg, and delivers 4-6 hours of runtime. It features 74-language support, autonomous navigation, object and face recognition, expressive gestures, plus solid payload capacity (120kg standing, over 40kg walking), stair-climbing (20-25cm), and IP67 protection. Designed for practical applications in education, exhibitions, retail, and corporate reception, Xpertus is a truly application-focused robot. Notably, Glexco partners closely with Chinese firms like Unitree: China provides the mature hardware platform, while Peruvian engineers lead AI integration, software optimization, and local adaptation. This marks a key milestone for Peru--and for South America as a whole,shifting from merely importing and showcasing humanoid robots to genuine local development and real-world deployment. It also highlights how China’s humanoid robotics progress is actively driving development in other regions rather than remaining closed off.

A New Milestone for AGIBOT(also for humanoid robots) 3 months later, AGIBOT rolled out its 15,000th humanoid robot (AIBOT G2) and deployed it on Longcheer's tablet PC quality inspection line… With production capacity increasing by almost 5,000 units every three months, at this rate, AGIBOT will roll out its 25,000th humanoid robot by the end of this year. Morgan Stanley last week adjusted its shipment target for humanoid robots in China to 50,000 units. AGIBOT's share may exceed 50%… It can be said that mass production of hardware is not difficult in China. The challenge lies in how to quickly narrow the gap between the level of robot intelligent model and industrial applications, and in turn, drive the mass production of hardware. AGIBOT is driving this with a full-stack strategy.

Turkey has unveiled AKINCI-5, its first industrial humanoid robot🇹🇷🤖 Evolving from earlier prototypes like AKINCI-2 and AKINCI-P through years of iteration, it focuses on AI-supported walking, balance, and interaction, and is currently in testing and demonstration. Built by AKINROBOTICS under prominent Turkish software company AKINSOFT, the robot targets demanding environments such as factories, manufacturing, warehouses, and mining. Previously, AKIN introduced the ADA series of wheeled humanoids for service roles in retail, healthcare, and customer assistance. (like the Ada-7) As early as 2017, the company built what was then the world’s first humanoid robot factory in Konya Province, covering the full spectrum from parts to complete robot R&D and assembly. However, the long-term value derived from integrating hardware and software around business operations is immeasurable.

More and More Humanoid Robots Are Entering Wet Labs🧪 Beijing DeepCybo has announced that its wheeled humanoid robot, Prime, is now operating in Junjie Liu’s Lab at Tsinghua University(life sciences research) Prime is already handling experimental tasks such as pipetting, operating shakers and stirrers, as well as repetitive work like keeping lab benches tidy and organizing equipment. The ultimate aim is to free scientists from dangerous virus experiments so they can focus on genuine scientific research. Humanoid robots are poised to become skilled lab technicians. Notably, Prime is powered by DeepCybo’s PhysBrain foundational large model, the STARRY VLA model, and the Z-WM world model, with its dexterous hands provided by Wuji Hand. We are starting to collaborate with humanoid robots.

Apptronik just highlighted Apollo 2 on their site--and the standout feature is its modular mobility: you can switch between wheeled and bipedal configurations depending on the task. Honestly, the wheeled setup’s advantages really shine in high-throughput “first-mile” logistics scenarios. Stability, speed, and efficiency where volume matters most --no need to force bipedal walking everywhere when wheels deliver better real-world performance.

BMW just leveled up with Figure 03 at their Spartanburg plant. After a solid 11-month run with Figure 02 handling sheet metal in the body shop (30k+ X3s produced), the new humanoid (F.03)is moving into logistics--sorting parts from bulk containers into sequencing trolleys for just-in-sequence delivery. Humanoids are becoming part of the flexible workforce.

China is pushing hard on large-scale humanoid deployment. China just dropped a major policy push: MIIT + SASAC launched the 2026 Humanoid Robot & Embodied AI Real-Scene Training Initiative. Goal by end of 2026:100+ high-value scenarios, real-world validation & routine deployment in industry, logistics, healthcare & more.building 10,000-unit scale deployment capability. Real scenes, real data, real iteration,real-world flywheel is starting… work model->world model-> more robots at work

Huawei-backed GigaAI SeeLight humanoid robots are already up and running in the Future Apartment complex in Wuhan’s Optics Valley. It’s handling basic household chores like heating food in the microwave, operating the washing machine, and folding clothes… The company says it will deploy 100 units to real user homes for trials in Q3. This is classic “imperfect product deployment”--putting the robots into actual family environments to gather real-world data and train their models (GigaBrain+GigaWorld), letting them evolve through everyday life.

Approaching Human-Level Dexterity Beijing-based DeepCybo’s Prime humanoid robot has achieved smooth and precise tool manipulation for household tasks, such as chopping vegetables, cutting cake, stirring eggs, and peeling cucumbers. It is driven by their Z-WM (World Model) and executed by the Wuji Hand dexterous hand. Interestingly, DeepCybo mentions that they train the World Model using human data. The effectiveness and reliability of humanoid robots ultimately come from the full-stack synergy of data, models, and hardware (including dexterous hands).

China is entering an era in which everyone is a data collector launched China’s first Embodied AI Data Collection Community in Suqian,Jiangsu(the hometown of founder Liu Qiangdong) They plan to mobilize over 100,000 local citizens(especially stay-at-home moms )to wear a lightweight JoyEgoCam while doing daily chores. From wiping tables and folding clothes at home, to fruit picking, factory work, logistics, and elderly care… covering more than 100 real-life scenarios. These devices precisely capture key biomechanical data--such as upper-limb trajectories, force distribution, and hand-eye coordination,and feed it back to JD's data centers to train robotic models. OFC,Participants earn money while helping collect real-world data. The goal?Over 10 million hours in two years to solve robotics’ biggest problem--the severe shortage of authentic physical world data. Really interesting way to get everyday people involved in advancing AI humanoid robots.
