Humanoid Robotics is a branch of robotics that focuses on designing, manufacturing, and controlling robotic systems that mimic human form and behavior.
German startup NEURA Robotics unveiled its Neuron AI perception-language-action model alongside the 4NE1 humanoid, but the robot costs roughly $105,000, ships end of 2026, and the headline laundry demo is still a scripted stage act.
It garnered attention through high-tech selling points such as a rapid 3.5-second transformation, switching between wheeled-humanoid and quadrupedal modes, and embodied AI interaction.
Set for release in 2026, the VIATRIX X—a seventh-generation outdoor AI exoskeleton robot from ULS Robotics—aims to break through these limitations using “human-machine collaboration” technology.
On August 20, GigaAI officially launched the Maker L01.
Vita Dynamics Vbot officially released its first humanoid embodied intelligent terminal Vbot ATOM, which is open for pre-order at the same time.
On June 1, 2026, at the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Unitree Technology passed its STAR Market IPO review, becoming the first humanoid robotics stock on A-shares.
From March 20 acceptance to June 1 approval, only 73 days. This is the second deal under the STAR Market “pre-review” mechanism, but its significance far exceeds the first (Changxin Technology)—because Unitree represents not semiconductors, but robotics, physical AI, embodied intelligence.
On May 15, 2026, Faraday Future (FF) buried a teaser in its Q1 earnings report: a “major educational robot product” launching early June.
This is not FF’s first promise. But the context is different—FF has rebranded as a “physical AI company,” with EAI robotics becoming its new revenue engine in the first delivery quarter. Q1 revenue reached $512,000, up 62% YoY, with software skill packages contributing 26%.
2026 marks a landmark moment for the humanoid robot industry. On April 23, Tesla officially announced that the third-generation Optimus humanoid robot V3 will begin mass production at the California Fremont Factory in late July to August 2026. Notably, the production line undertaking this historic mission is not newly built but converted from the lines … Read more
