Key takeaways
- The most recent coverage of humanoid robots shows a surge of breakthroughs and commercial launches.
- In South Korea, Holiday Robotics announced a record‑breaking 155 billion‑won Series A round to accelerate its manufacturing‑focused wheeled humanoid “FRIDAY,” a 176 cm, 115 kg platform with 64 degrees of freedom, tactile sensors and autonomous‑driving capabilities, aiming to ship roughly 1,000 units per year by 2027.
- In the United States, 1X unveiled a new hand for its Neo home robot that matches or exceeds human performance, featuring 25 actuated degrees of freedom, tendon‑driven motion, force‑transparent low‑gear ratios and IP68‑sealed tactile fingertips, allowing tasks such as pouring tea, sorting grapes and sign‑language communication.
- Apptronik opened its expanded Robot Park in Austin, a data‑collection facility for training its Apollo humanoid robots in partnership with Google DeepMind.
- AGIBOT rolled out the A3 humanoid in Europe, introduced a UK robot‑as‑a‑service model, and celebrated the production of its 15 000th unit, the G2 industrial‑grade robot.
