Hong Kong has opened its first convenience stores operated by humanoid robots, giving Chinese robotics company Galbot a commercial base
Serbia has started production at a new humanoid robot factory built with Chinese companies Minth Group and AgiBot. The Šabac facility is described as Europe’s first Chinese-backed mass-production base for humanoid robots. The project could eventually produce up to 20,000 humanoid robots and robotic dogs each year as Serbia expands its role in advanced manufacturing.
L3Harris Technologies and ARX Robotics UK have tested a remotely controlled ground robot carrying a counter-drone sensing system during a
GALBOT humanoid robots have completed 100+ consecutive rallies in a live autonomous tennis match against human athletes. The robots tracked fast-moving balls, positioned themselves on the court, selected shots and adapted to changing game situations without following a fixed script. The demonstration highlights how AI-powered humanoid robots are beginning to combine perception, decision-making and physical movement in real-world settings.
China’s Tien Kung Omni humanoid robot has gone viral for its unusual 400-meter running style, with its hands held near its face. Developers at X-Humanoid say the posture was not directly programmed. Instead, the robot developed it through simulated learning to reduce shoulder stress, manage energy use and maintain speed during the race.
Hundreds of robotics companies gathered in Beijing on Wednesday for the opening of the World Robot Conference, showcasing machines designed
DefendEye has raised a new investment round led by NovaCapital to scale production of its Overwatch Drone. The autonomous AI drone is designed for first responders and can launch within seconds without a trained pilot. Its base station connects the drone to the cloud, allowing emergency teams and remote commanders to access live video and gain situational awareness during incidents.
China’s NORINCO Group is preparing to unveil its Fuxi humanoid robot at the 2026 World Robot Conference. The full-size robot is designed to copy human movements through a remote teleoperation system. NORINCO says Fuxi could support reconnaissance, patrols and specialized tasks in hazardous areas, allowing people to remain at a safer location while controlling the robot remotely.
China’s Shenzhou-23 crew has completed a busy week aboard the space station, carrying out health studies, VR experiments and microgravity research. The astronauts also tested Xiaohang, a station robot designed to improve its movement planning through interaction with the crew. The work could help develop more capable robots for future long-duration space missions.
China’s Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences has developed an AI pig vaccination robot that can track a pig’s tail base and deliver a needle-free vaccine. The system achieved 93.3% accuracy in tests involving 12 pigs. Researchers say the technology could reduce manual work and support more automated vaccination on large pig farms
