SoftBank Stops Making Pepper Robots, Will Cut 165 Robotics Jobs in France - IEEE Spectrum
[Reuters is reporting](https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-softbank-shrinks-robotics-business-stops-pepper-production-sources-2021-06-28/) that [SoftBank](https://spectrum.ieee.org/tag/softbank) stopped manufacturing Pepper robots at some point last year due to low demand, and by September, will cut about half of the 330 positions at [SoftBank Robotics](https://spectrum.ieee.org/tag/softbank-robotics) Europe in France. Most of the positions will be in Q&A, sales, and service, which hopefully leaves SoftBank Robotics’ research and development group mostly intact. But the cuts reflect poor long-term sales, with SoftBank [Robotics](https://spectrum.ieee.org/topic/robotics/) Europe having lost over 100 million Euros in the past three years, according to French business news site [JDN](https://www.journaldunet.com/solutions/dsi/1502645-plan-social-chez-l-ex-aldebaran-robotics-createur-des-robots-pepper-et-nao/). [Speaking with Nikkei](https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/SoftBank-stops-making-Pepper-robot-but-says-it-isn-t-dead), SoftBank said that this doesn’t actually mean a permanent end for Pepper, and that they “plan to resume production if demand recovers.”But things aren’t looking good.
LimX Dynamics demonstrates latest humanoid robot motions - The Robot Report
Other robotics organizations that have experimented with combining wheels and legs include ANYbotics, ETH Zurich, Unitree, and Swiss-Mile. In July 2024, Chinese organizations issued draft guidelines for the development of robots including humanoids, seen as a priority for economic development. In August 2024, LimX demonstrated its CL-1 humanoid robot loading heavy objects continuously. It said this demonstrated its real-time, perceptive locomotion plus manipulation plus whole-body control. The CL-1 was able to adopt multiple postures, lift and unload objects, and adjust in response to external disturbances. [...] Reply 2. M says Very Cool. One of the hardest things for robots to do is to get themselves up after falling. Lets not fool ourselves, there will be times when a robot will trip & he will need to get himself up. ATLAS is the only bot I know of that can. Can ASIMO ? One curiosity on this bot>>> What are the 2 actuators below the knee for? Notice how large the knee actuator is. Very Cool. !
