Foundation Robotics is pushing a bold military roadmap in Newsweek, but this crash at the magazine's NYC HQ highlights the harsh reality of deploying complex hardware.

As the difficulty of replicating the human hand remains a central challenge in robotics, Clone has posted a significant update.
A new demo shows a 27-DoF hand with human-level speed and low latency, powered by a "neural joint controller." A major public update on the Clone Alpha's core tech.

“What’s coming feels like the year 2050. This week, everything changes — it’s the week you’ve all been waiting for.”
“This is how it begins.”

Figure just dropped a teaser for its next-gen humanoid.

👀 Full reveal expected this week.

"Can you find me anybody in the world doing this?"

Figure CEO Brett Adcock issues a confident challenge while discussing their latest logistics demo at a Bloomberg event.

Watch him explain how their Helix AI autonomously handles diverse, deformable packages at human speeds

A look at the state of the art in autonomous humanoid robotics. Recent demos from Figure's F.02 and Tesla Optimus
showcase incredible progress in real-world dexterous manipulation.
Both are driven by end-to-end neural networks, moving beyond hard-coded routines to learn and adapt.

From mimicking human behavior to truly understanding it – Deep Variational Bayes Filters (DVBFs) might be the key to AI that adapts, predicts, and reasons like us. ‘It’s a bit like giving AI a sense of imagination,’ says Prof. Patrick van der Smagt from humanoid robotics startup Foundation.
