NAO6 is a 58 cm tall, 25-DoF humanoid robot from Maxtronics designed for human interaction in education, research, healthcare, and elderly care.

Last month, the Trump administration banned Chinese imports of power inverters and new humanoid and four-legged robots. In a news release, Faraday Future said it would seize the opportunity created by the new policy and accelerate its “Built in USA” and “Assembled in USA” programs. The company will still import parts from China in compliance with the latest Federal Trade Commission rules. workers move delivery robotup a ramp Business For Subscribers ### Delivery robots have his old job — and now they’ve created a new one for him AI-powered delivery robots from companies like Serve Robotics are replacing human drivers across the nation — but they can’t do it without help. ### China’s robot dogs and humanoids dazzle Beijing crowd amid U.S. security fears FILE - A Realbotix humanoid robot, center, speaks with attendees at a Realbotix booth during the CES tech show Jan. 8, 2025, in Las Vegas.

More than 10 years later, the brand has moved its headquarters to El Segundo and is still searching for its identity. The company also has a 1.1 million square foot 1.1-million-square-foot factory in Hanford, Calif., where it invested nearly $4 billion to produce its EVs. It now plans to produce the robots there with parts imported from China. Faraday Future now has five robots for sale, with two more coming soon. A full-sized humanoid bot called the All-New Futurist starts at $89,900, and a miniature humanoid robot called Master starts at $37,990. The FX Navi, a four-legged bot built for young students learning how to code, costs $1,990. Students watch their programmed robot travel through an obstacle course during a robotics summer camp at Faraday Future.

## Agibot A3 Man talking to a robot José Adorno/BGR Recently introduced, Agibot continues to make the headlines by developing cutting edge robots on a large scale. With the latest A3 model, this robot is also 173 centimeters tall, weighs 55 kilograms, but its far from being scary. Even though the company also highlights how it could fight, Agibot showcased a more interesting approach at the trade show — the robot's writing capabilities. With a modular OmniHand, it features up to 12 active degrees of freedom, tactile force arrays, and sub-millimeter positioning repeatability to let the robot grip a pen or stylus and write in traditional Chinese calligraphy. IFA 2026 has three big focuses: wearables, AI, and robotics. While these have been hot topics for the past few trade shows, it's interesting to see a general growth in the amount of humanoid robots being promoted. More interestingly, while a few years ago, these products were just a glimpse of the future, most of the robots exhibited are already real-life devices that, if they haven't been out for a while, are just around the corner of being introduced in the Chinese, European, and/or American markets. Among the several brands exhibiting at IFA, BGR got excited about PrimeBOT's Q1 robot, a mini humanoid-like option that's made for AI research, classrooms, and home companionship, Zero's W1, which resembles Disney's Wall-E, and even the scary EngineAI T800 — the robot known for kicking its Agibot's A3 robot features a 360-degree multi-array microphone system, dual-module 5G connectivity, and shoulder touch sensors for responsive physical engagement. At the trade show, BGR attendees focused on talking to the robot and understanding its latest advancements in comprehension, speech, and more. ## Zero W1 Robot with open arms at IFA 2026 José Adorno/BGR Last but not least, BGR saw the Zero W1, which is also known as the Zeroth W1. Available in the U.S. and China, it costs $7,999 and resembles Disney's Wall-E. In a bipedal form factor, this robot can navigate through any terrain for everyday physical chores, like carrying things or monitoring your home, and also entertain families by playing games, offering a video display, and more.

October 07, 2026 3:00 PM UTC 1 hour Sponsored by Already registered? Click here to login now! The next trillion-dollar industry is emerging: Physical AI. As intelligence moves beyond the cloud and into the physical world, humanoid robots must not only perceive and reason, but also move with agility, precision, and safety. At the heart of this challenge lies motor control, where actuators represent one of the largest cost, performance, and reliability drivers within humanoid robotic systems. ### Infineon Technologies Martin Schiestl joined 2023 Infineon as a System Application Engineer, where he is currently leading the engineering team responsible for humanoid motor drive system. Mr. Schiestl completed his Master's degree in Mechatronics and Smart Technologies in 2017. Prior to his graduation, he commenced his employment at the same institute in April 2016, where he concentrated on the development of GaN applications. In addition to his technical responsibilities, he held lectures on Communication Technologies, High-Frequency Technologies, and Power Electronics. ## Sponsored by: Webinars"},"section\_hierarchy":[{"id":66194,"name":"Resources","alias":"resources"},{"id":66209,"name":"Webinars","alias":"resources/webinars"}],"taxonomy":[],"authors":[]}" name="BlueConic"> Electronic Design logo # Semiconductors as the Foundation of Humanoid Robots: Enabling Advanced Motor Control for Physical AI As Physical AI moves from concept to reality, humanoid robots demand smarter, more efficient motor control.

The state of the art in robot generalization is rapidly advancing. On August 20, Generalist announced that its latest model was capable of completing a new task from just one human demonstration. Last week, the startup Skild AI said that its model S1 could also complete a new task from a single video demonstration — on tasks up to ten minutes long. A couple of companies have also publicly announced they will start deploying robots into homes — which are extremely diverse — by the end of 2026. But I expect that these deployments will be quite limited. And some of them are likely to rely heavily on teleoperation. # Legged robots are dangerous for now Then in February 2026, the Chinese company Unitree staged a stunning martial arts performance at the Spring Festival Gala in Beijing. A mixed cast of humans and humanoid robots carried out a perfectly synchronized, fluid dance routine. Robots performed spins, jumps, and even backflips. Unitree robots moving in sync at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. It was a big improvement over the 2025 show, which featured robots walking stiffly across the stage while waving handkerchiefs. Just last week, at the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, a robot ran 100 meters in 8.86 seconds, crushing Usain Bolt’s human world record of 9.59 seconds. At last year’s competition, the fastest robot took more than 20 seconds to run 100 meters. # Understanding AI # Why humanoid robots won’t catch up to human workers any time soon ### A deep dive into the current state of humanoid robotics. Kai Williams Today’s Robot Week article is sponsored by 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that helps early-career professionals make the most of their careers. If you’ve been paying any attention to the robotics world in the last couple of years, you’ve probably noticed that humanoid robots are getting better at an impressive pace. In October 2024, Elon Musk had several of Tesla’s Optimus robots serving drinks at an event unveiling Tesla’s new Cybercab. “Optimus is not a canned video. It’s not walled off. The Optimus robots will walk among you,” Musk said at the event.
