Unitree humanoids train for shelf restocking in HIVE’s Føtex pilot
- Training began in June under a multi-year trial with Føtex, part of Salling Group.
- HIVE develops the software and trains the robots; stores would pay by the hour for the service.
- The initial target is independent restocking of some products by early 2027; operators say present performance remains slower than human workers.
HPMicro and Amlogic demonstrate eight-axis EtherCAT joint control
- Amlogic A311Y3 runs the touchscreen interface and EtherCAT master; HPMicro HPM5E3Y handles joint-level motor control.
- The demonstration shows coordinated motion, speed and direction adjustments, and live joint-position feedback.
- The architecture separates upper-level processing from real-time field-oriented control at each joint.
MindOn reports 142 garments per hour in extended Mind-1 folding demo
- The upload lasts 59 minutes and 22 seconds, with a displayed folding counter reaching 142.
- A person supplies each new garment to a fixed dual-arm station with grippers.
- The footage is labelled normal-speed autonomous folding; garment selection and fold-quality criteria are not standardized.
Synthoid demonstrates SynRobot 03 industrial assembly at CIIF
- The screw-fastening sequence combines identification, force-guided alignment, clamping, tool use and quality checks.
- During PCB insertion, the robot withdraws and replans around contact or alignment errors before closing the enclosure with both arms.
- SynRobot 03 combines a mobile base, dual arms and interchangeable end tools; performance specifications remain company-reported.
Hobbywing powers Tianmushan-9 high-rise rescue demonstration
- The six-axis aircraft was jointly developed by Beihang University’s Tianmushan Laboratory and Tianxun Innovation.
- The drill took place on 19 September 2026, before Hobbywing’s October account.
- The aircraft incorporated a personnel-carrying flight deck and a stated payload capacity up to 200 kg.
Archon Robotics shares Whole-Body Intelligence debut demonstration
- S1 handles task understanding and multimodal inputs; S0 coordinates stabilization and whole-body movement.
- The company distinguishes autonomous full demonstrations from teleoperated S0 explanations and DAgger correction segments.
- Its training pipeline combines human demonstrations, real-robot post-training and corrective demonstrations.
DexRobot validates DexGEM autonomous manipulation policies
- The demonstrated tasks ran without teleoperation or real-robot training data.
- Validated workflows included bimanual object handovers and continuous-contact manipulation.
- Human motion capture and first-person video were reconstructed in simulation before policy transfer to real hardware.
AGILINK demonstrates OmniHand 3 Ultra silk handling and embroidery
- The hand separated silk threads, threaded a needle, stretched fabric on a hoop and stitched.
- Its direct-drive architecture has 21 active joints and tactile sensing at the fingertips, finger pads and palm.
- The demonstration validates delicate manipulation; the release does not establish autonomous commercial operation.
LumiBot showcases tactile sensing, dexterous hands and manipulation models at IROS
- Lumi-Tac V2 is rated at 10 µm spatial resolution, 0.02 N force detection and 120 frames per second.
- Lumi-Dex 11 demonstrated a stamp, tray and card manipulation sequence while adapting to human disturbances.
- The company described automotive, electronics and life-sciences proofs of concept, alongside its higher-DoF Lumi-Dex 21 hand.
Bethel debuts planetary, harmonic and cycloidal robot joint modules
- Planetary modules use dual absolute encoders and a hollow structure for compact robot joints.
- Harmonic modules target upper limbs, while cycloidal modules address higher loads in lower limbs and torsos.
Unitree G1 tested for outdoor okra detection and grasping
- The configuration combined a ZED-M stereo camera, Dex1-1 hand and cutting attachment, left-arm basket and Jetson Orin 64GB computing.
- Grasping succeeded in 16 of 20 indoor trials. Outdoor detection and grasping were demonstrated, but the cutting tool remained unfinished and the trial did not complete reliable harvesting.
Unitree R1 tested with Nossa360 at a construction site
- Nossa conducted the September 24 trial with Moriya Construction and yasstyle at a construction site.
- Remote-controlled walking streamed live video; a separate programmed sequence walked, stopped and raised a camera on a selfie stick to build a Street View-style record.
Dongtu demonstrates domestic humanoid electronic architecture under fault and attack tests
- The demonstration compared platforms under single-point fault, bus attack and network attack conditions.
- The architecture combines Intewell, AUTBUS, MaVIEW and deterministic network and computing technologies.
Lingyu TA2 completes public autonomous cabinet-task sequence
- Xinshu Future supplied the embodied decision model, while Intel edge servers handled the on-site computing workload.
- The TA2 supplied perception, action execution, robot-level control and safety in the integrated demonstration.
- The TA2 developer edition exposes interfaces for partner model adaptation and on-robot validation.
TENNIIX unveils ULTRA MAX tennis robot with LimX
- The robot played against former world No. 12 Wang Qiang at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals.
- Its demonstrated shots included varied topspin, deep looping balls and directional placement.
