🤖 Start Printing Humanoids
Good Morning, Roboticists!
The robot boom is becoming less about “can it walk?” and more about the uglier question: can it ship, sell, certify, and plug into someone’s workflow?
Factory Prints Humanoids
TL;DR: EngineAI commissioned its Honghualing Intelligent Manufacturing Base in Shenzhen’s Nanshan District, saying the line can produce one humanoid every 15 minutes. The company released factory footage of T800 and PM01 robots rolling off the line, turning humanoid ambition into a production-scale manufacturing story. Read more →
Luna Dresses for the Stage
TL;DR: LimX Dynamics launched Luna, a 160 cm full-size humanoid priced at 298,000 RMB, or about $41,000. With 27 degrees of freedom, fabric-wrapped surfaces, multimodal interaction, and LimX’s Sys 0 motion engine, Luna is aimed at public interaction and performance rather than factory-only labor.

Robots Stop Reading Floorplans
TL;DR: Researchers at Northwestern Polytechnical University developed a bio-inspired cognitive navigation framework to help robots handle changing environments. Instead of relying only on rigid geometric maps, the system draws from how animals use landmarks, memory, and hierarchical decision-making to navigate unfamiliar spaces with greater flexibility.

Service Robots Learn Manners
TL;DR: IntBot and Certis Group formed a partnership to develop socially intelligent robot applications for enterprise and public-facing environments in Singapore. The companies plan humanoid concierge, wayfinding, multilingual engagement, customer-service, and frontline support pilots across transit, hospitality, healthcare, retail, and public venues.

Moby Gets a Jetson Brain
TL;DR: ADLINK announced its COMPUTEX 2026 Physical AI showcase, including Noble Machines’ general-purpose robot Moby powered by ADLINK’s DLAP-711 edge AI platform with NVIDIA Jetson Thor. The demo ties edge computing directly to humanoid robotics, multi-sensor fusion, real-time reasoning, and whole-body control. Read more →
Surgery Robot Gets Europe
TL;DR: Cornerstone Robotics said its Sentire Endoscopic Surgical System received EU CE Mark certification under the Medical Device Regulation. The approval covers minimally invasive procedures in general surgery, gynecology, thoracic surgery, and urology, giving the Hong Kong-based surgical robotics company formal access to European markets.

Stretchers Start Driving Themselves
TL;DR: Florida startup Rovex unveiled Rovi, an autonomous in-hospital patient transport robot designed to attach to existing stretchers. The robot navigates corridors, elevators, and doors with computer vision, keeps patients informed through an onboard screen, and aims to reduce transport bottlenecks without forcing hospitals to replace equipment.

Faraday Finds Robot Buyers
TL;DR: Faraday Future said it received its largest robot sales order yet, covering 23 humanoid and bionic robots. Founder and CEO YT Jia also said FF delivered a Master humanoid robot to a medical institution in Los Angeles, framing the order as progress toward its B2C robotics push. Read more →
Robot Arms Become Infrastructure
TL;DR: Tianji Intelligent completed RMB 1 billion in Series B and B+ financing, reaching a post-money valuation near RMB 8–10 billion. The company focuses on force-controlled humanoid dual-arm systems, saying it delivered over 2,000 units in four months and had more than 10,000 orders in Q1 2026. Read more →
ROS Moves Into Browsers
TL;DR: OLO Robotics launched OLO Studio and OLO SDK, a browser-based development platform for ROS 2 robot simulation, control, and deployment. The system lets teams build and test robotics applications without complex local setup, lowering friction for developers working across robot arms, mobile platforms, and embodied AI systems.
