Physical AI Company Announces Expansion in Global Markets with Platform - Automation World
Analytics # Physical AI Company Announces Expansion in Global Markets with Platform Customers can scale humanoids and robots up or down as production demands shift—turning factory automation from a heavy capital expenditure into an elastic operational service.
Key takeaways
Boston Dynamics unveiled new footage on May 20 2026 showing its electric Atlas humanoid lifting a mini‑fridge and, in a later test, a fully loaded refrigerator weighing over 100 lb, highlighting a shift from locomotion toward robust, whole‑body manipulation for real‑world industrial tasks. The same week, Figure AI streamed a marathon‑style package‑sorting test in which its humanoid trio logged more than 30,000 sorted parcels over 24 hours, demonstrating continuous‑shift capability and drawing millions of online views. In Europe, the startup Humanoid announced a binding, phased agreement with Schaeffler and a partnership with Bosch to integrate its HMND platform into live manufacturing lines in Germany, with the first deployments slated for late 2026 and a robot‑as‑a‑service model that includes fleet management and 24/7 support. Singapore‑based Doozy Robotics expanded its global footprint on May 21 2026, rolling out its physical‑AI platform—combining a forthcoming industrial super‑humanoid, autonomous mobile robots and the Eywa‑OS orchestration layer—across the United States, the GCC and Asia to address persistent labor shortages. Meanwhile, Forbes reported that Shanghai’s Agibot now commands roughly 39 % of the global humanoid market, having shipped over 10,000 units and offering robots‑as‑a‑service in more than 17 countries, signaling a transition from prototype to early commercial deployment. In China, government‑backed learning centers are training humanoids for workforce integration, and the country is scaling production with pilot component platforms in Shanghai, positioning 2025 as the first year of mass production. Finally, a May 19 2026 analysis from Robotics & Automation News noted that humanoid robots are moving from validation to early commercial use, with automotive manufacturing and logistics projected to drive shipments toward 1.8 million units by 2036 and payback periods shrinking to roughly six months under high‑utilization scenarios.

Doozy Robotics—a Singapore-based physical AI robotics company—announced an expansion across the United States, GCC and Asia, marking its next phase of growth as it expands its physical AI platform and orchestration technology.
Through its vertically integrated ecosystem, Doozy combines an industrial super humanoid, autonomous mobile robots and autonomous forklifts. all coordinated by the company's proprietary orchestration layer, Eywa-OS. The platform is designed to function as a super-intelligent factory manager and governs the entire operation, interpreting production goals, allocating humanoids and robots on the floor and adapting to disruptions. The industrial super humanoid is scheduled to launch later this year, with first deployments beginning soon after.
"The global labor shortage is a structural shift, not a temporary imbalance," said Suresh Chandrasekar, CEO & co-founder of Doozy Robotics. "We are building the Physical AI workforce that will power the next era of manufacturing. By combining humanoids, autonomous systems, and Eywa-OS orchestration, we are enabling facilities to operate with intelligence at scale. This expansion into the U.S. marks a critical step towards that vision."
