Key takeaways
EngineAI Robotics announced on May 29 2026 the opening of its EngineAI Intelligent Manufacturing base in Shenzhen and the start of mass delivery for its T800 full‑size humanoid, marking a shift to a 10,000‑unit scalable production capability after earlier pilot runs of PM01 units. Around the same time, Figure reported that its BotQ facility had accelerated output of the Figure 03 humanoid from one unit per day to one per hour—a 24‑fold increase achieved in less than four months—while also rolling out fleet‑management tools such as over‑the‑air updates and diagnostics to improve reliability. In parallel, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology proposed its first standardized performance benchmark for humanoid robots since the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge, aiming to create a common metric for capabilities that have so far been demonstrated only in marketing videos. European automaker BMW confirmed that two Hexagon Robotics humanoid units will begin test deployment at its Leipzig plant this summer, citing the human‑shaped form factor as key to flexible integration on the factory floor. Finally, the Humanoids Summit in Tokyo highlighted a surge of Chinese‑origin platforms—such as Unitree‑based models performing dances, needle‑threading, and other dexterous tasks—underscoring the rapid commercial push of humanoid robotics in both industrial and consumer settings.
