11 years of humanoid robotics in one video. 🤖 In 2015, humanoid robots were still struggling with basic tasks like walking, climbing stairs and recovering from falls during the DARPA Robotics Challenge. Fast-forward to 2026, and humanoids are running, jumping, boxing, playing football, handling industrial tasks and operating in real-world environments. The World Humanoid Robot Games featured 2,056 robots across 51 events, including practical tasks in factories, hotels and homes. The progress is obvious. But the real question is not how impressive they look in a demo. What will humanoid robots be capable of in 2036? 👀 🎥 Media: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) / Unitree Robotics ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

Can you solve this @Meta robotics challenge? 🧠🤖 What if a robot could understand your intended hand gesture just by reading the muscle signals in your wrist? This demo uses Meta’s Neural Band and sEMG signals to classify hand gestures and translate them into robotic control. The interesting part is cross-user generalization the system is designed to recognize gestures across different people rather than relying on a model trained for just one user. Meta’s research has shown that this is one of the key challenges in sEMG interfaces. But there’s a twist. 👀 Watch until the end and choose the correct answer: A, B, C or D ?

Figure did something absolutely wild with its retired humanoid robots. 🤯🔥 Instead of dismantling its F.02 fleet, Figure trained the robots to autonomously jump into a 75-ton electric arc furnace filled with molten steel in Imatra, Finland. And yes this was real. Figure says the robots were: 🤖 Trained to jump in simulation 🦘 Practiced with airbags at its San Jose campus 🏭 Sent to a foundry the team had never visited 🔥 Given only six furnace melts across 24 hours ⚡ Operating despite extreme heat and electromagnetic interference The reason? Figure wanted to decommission the F.02 fleet while protecting proprietary hardware and freeing engineering resources for its next-generation robots. The resulting metal bars are being turned into a limited series of F.02 commemorative artifacts. And there is a serious robotics story behind the crazy video: Figure had to train a jump policy that could transfer from simulation to a completely unfamiliar real-world environment and accurately land the robot in the furnace. Arnold Schwarzenegger was also involved after suggesting the robots should be melted an obvious nod to Terminator 2. This may be the most brutal robot retirement ever. 😅 Would you call this engineering genius or the most extreme robot disposal method ever? 👀 🏢 Company: @Figure_robot , @adcock_brett ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

Two robots. One giant aerospace structure. 🤖 한국생산기술연구원 KITECH researchers are exploring coordinated multi-robot Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for large-scale aerospace structures. In this demonstration, two robots work together to manufacture a 1-meter-class ESPA-ring-type aerospace structure, coordinating toolpaths, task allocation, synchronized deposition and collision avoidance. And the interesting part? The platform is now being extended toward simultaneous operation of three robots and more intelligent multi-robot toolpath planning. Instead of one robot doing everything, multiple robots become one coordinated manufacturing system. KITECH also lists ongoing work on multi-robot cooperative intelligent WAAM systems for large components, including targets of 3 m-class parts and deposition rates above 10 kg/h. Could multi-robot WAAM change how large metal aerospace structures are manufactured? 👀 🏢 Research: Korea Institute of Industrial Technology ( 한국생산기술연구원 KITECH ) 🎥 Media: Hyub Lee ( Linkedln ) ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

Figure just gave its retired humanoid robots a very different final mission. 🔥🤖 Figure decommissioned its F.02 fleet by having the robots autonomously jump into a 75-ton electric arc furnace in Imatra, Finland. The reason? Figure says maintaining the F.02 fleet no longer made sense as its F.03 fleet grows, while dismantling the robots would consume engineering time and expose proprietary hardware. And yes the footage is real. Figure trained the robots specifically for the final jump, turning robot decommissioning into one last robotics experiment. F.02 helped Figure reach major milestones, including BMW deployment, household tasks and logistics. Now, its successor takes the stage. Would you let your robot choose its own final mission? 👀 🏢 Company: @Figure_robot , @adcock_brett ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.
