Unitree just introduced the H2-X, a kung fu humanoid bodyguard. Will Smith’s Detective Del Spooner spent all of I, Robot warning us about this.
Marty McFly and Doc Brown landed in Hill Valley on October 21, 2015, expecting flying cars and hoverboards. Eleven years past that date, we almost got both, if you count the Roadster as a flying car and those old "hoverboards" from 2017
Chapter 11 for Getty Images: 477 million+ images, and I simply screenshot the watermarked preview of every single one I ever needed. Adobe would’ve charged me a fee just for looking
$80.7 BILLION?!? That's so many zeros that I need to use my extra fingers that come with my AI retouched self portrait
Anthropic reported an $80.7 billion net loss in the first half of 2026 as it prepares for an IPO.
The number is misleading at first glance, though. About $72 billion came from noncash accounting charges tied to convertible notes, while the company still spent nearly $9 billion on computing and infrastructure.
Unitree’s new kung fu robot spends half its teaser video kneeing and punching cars in a scrapyard. Somebody at Unitree has clearly tailgated at the Linc. with Charlie Kelly
Slow start to our weekly Speedify Live Tech Q&A, so I asked @bhanagrover about it and she said its probably because the whole world was watching the 76ers game last night
Tesla’s AI5 chip is going to their robots before their new cars, and the new Roadster doesn’t even drive itself. Rough week to be a Tesla car
Figure just sent its F.02 humanoid robots into a foundry, T-800 style and Seoul National University recently built a liquid robot that slips through bars like the T-1000. Right now robotics is Terminator 2 but, out of order
Nucleus’s humanoid robot is 40% remote-controlled. That’s a lot of trust in one internet connection. We’d give it ATLEAST two
Amazon’s Bee Frontier clips to your shirt and listens so you don’t forget anything. Cool, so now my watch, my earbuds, my car, and my shirt are all listening, and my Wi-Fi is still the only one that drops out of the conversation.
Didn’t Megatron try this in Age of Extinction? Any AI worm that tries spreading through my smart home will spend most of its time waiting for the Wi-Fi to reconnect.
Can we get a robotic Phillie Phanatic to walk around the office next?
43 actuators, and almost none of them are there for lifting! 🧸
@dynamicreatures introduced Hugo, their first character robot.
I covered the company when it came out of stealth. This is the first machine.
The actuator count is where I’d start, because it tells you what Hugo is for.
An industrial humanoid spends its degrees of freedom on strength, reach and payload. A character robot spends them on legibility.
The small secondary motions, the weight shifts, the head turn that lands a beat late.
Hugo is designed to move freely through guest environments: theme parks, resorts, casinos, and retail.
Crowds are the worst case in mobile robotics. Dense, unpredictable, full of people with no intention of getting out of the way. A warehouse AMR can assume humans avoid it.
A character robot can’t, because being approached is the entire product. Children will run straight at it.
It runs on their own platform, SnowJay, coordinating movement, perception and behaviour.
@theermann congrats, Hugo looks awesome! 💜
