Many cities in China are developing humanoid robots. Here’s a list of about 50 companies working on humanoids that we selected. With so many robotics companies, we’ll inevitably miss quite a few, but this gives a full picture of how fast and large the industry is growing here.

Come hail or high water, Zipline delivers

Today, we present a step-change in robotic AI @sundayrobotics. Introducing ACT-1: A frontier robot foundation model trained on zero robot data. - Ultra long-horizon tasks - Zero-shot generalization - Advanced dexterity 🧵->

You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro.  It’s SOTA for image generation + editing with more advanced world knowledge, text rendering, precision + controls. Built on Gemini 3, it’s really good at complex infographics - much like how engineers see the world:)

Long full shot. 2x, teleoperated. en-route to autonomy, It was fun putting Eggie in a messy, cluttered scene. Clean rooms be boring.

November 20, 1996: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace: R2-D2’s first appearance is in the queen’s starship. Doug Chiang created concepts for the popular little astromech droid, based on it being like an unfolding Swiss Army knife. #StarWarsArchives19992005 https://t.co/M907YH008U

We now have humanoid robot maps for China’s four major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou. It might feel overwhelming to see so many humanoids, but it’s exciting to see these robotics companies working hard to push humanity forward.

Journée @IMA_Innovation : Démo de @SharkRobotics à la Tour @EDFofficiel 90 personnes à La Rochelle. 1er client : 40 Robots chez les pompiers Ukrainiens #Ukraine ❤️ 10 ingénieurs travaillent sur le logiciel et briques d’IA embarquée pour un robot 100% autonome pour le privé.

Figure has shared numbers on its 11-month humanoid deployment at BMW's Spartanburg factory. - Contributed to the production of 30,000+ cars (X3 vehicles). - 90,000+ parts loaded. - Ran 10-hour shifts, Monday to Friday. - Estimated 200+ miles of walking. - A single Figure 02

Our robots have a new cheerleader :) We’ve been quietly deploying our robots to more businesses across the Bay Area. Drop by @seabreezesf in Noe Valley and see for yourself!

⚡️ Zelenskyy thanked French fishermen for supplying anti-drone nets that help save lives in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and eastern Ukraine.

Mindblowing demo indeed! Can't wait to see your AI software and UI...

Rise of the robots: the promise of physical AI. Tech firms are pouring massive sums into physical AI, and Morgan Stanley predicts the world could have more than a billion humanoid robots by 2050 https://t.co/PprwpXo576

I spent the past year building AI for robots at Tesla Optimus and Dyna Now I'm introducing ANDROID DREAMS: an essay of my predictions for the next 20 years of robotics, inspired by Situational Awareness and AI2027. I predict EGI by 2031 and more robots than humans by 2045👇🏼
