1HMX introduces Nexus NX1 for full-body motion capture, teleoperation - The Robot Report

The most recent humanoid‑robot news highlights a surge in both commercial production and advanced research. UBTech Robotics announced the start of mass production for its Walker S2 model, featuring a dual‑battery system that lets the robot replace its own depleted pack and operate continuously; the company has already secured orders worth 112 million yuan and a 22 million‑yuan data‑centre contract. In parallel, OpenMInd unveiled a new hardware‑plus‑software platform designed to give robots and humanoids “real‑world intelligence,” aiming to improve perception and decision‑making in unstructured environments. Agile Robots introduced its first industrial humanoid, Agile ONE, which will be manufactured in Germany and is positioned for safe, collaborative work on factory floors. Meanwhile, a robotics expert’s recent ranking reaffirmed Boston Dynamics’ Atlas as the world’s most dynamic humanoid, while other contenders such as Optimus GEN 2 and Foundation’s military‑focused android continue to push capabilities in speed, payload and autonomy. Collectively, these developments indicate rapid progress toward continuous operation, smarter perception, and broader industrial and defense deployments for humanoid robots.
