On 1 to 2 August, a national training programme on AI-assisted therapy, orthopaedic surgical robots, was held in Pingshan, Shenzhen. It was hosted by the National Orthopaedics Medical Centre and Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, with seventy-four orthopaedic clinicians and technical staff from across China taking part. It is the first time Jishuitan’s surgical-robot technology has reached … Read more
Roland Berger’s new report, Humanoid Robots 2026: The Convergence Moment of a New Market, reframes the debate. The question is no longer whether humanoids are a bubble. It is who claims a position first if the industry actually takes off. The trigger was not a flashy demo. It was three variables colliding: vision-language models, generative … Read more
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has put its mandatory national standard for L3 and L4 autonomous driving out for public comment. The draft, Safety Requirements for Intelligent and Connected Vehicle Automated Driving Systems, would replace the old voluntary standard and for the first time set a legally binding floor for L3 and L4. … Read more
As the first unified model in the embodied-generation space, U0 has already validated generation quality, data usefulness and engineering efficiency. In the WorldArena benchmark built by Tsinghua, Peking and others, U0 scored first in the world under an anonymous code, and policies trained on its expanded data lifted task completion by 26.3 per cent in … Read more
Alongside the delivery, Chengxin launched the industrial-focused Xun 3. Compared with Xun 1, it gains sharply on endurance, climbing and autonomy, carrying a 32-line LiDAR, climbing 25 steps, crawling stable on 35-degree slopes, running four hours instead of one, walking about 20 km, and able to intervene by pressing buttons once it spots risk. A … Read more
The inspection suite covers target detection, anomaly recognition, person and vehicle identification, personal-protective-equipment compliance checks and intrusion detection, with thermal and visual modes that flag hotspots, fluid leaks and equipment faults early. It fits manufacturing, energy, utilities, transport, logistics and critical infrastructure, enabling continuous monitoring of large, complex sites. Built for GPS-denied sites Autonomously, the … Read more
The industry has spent two years caught between hype and weak deployment, with launches refreshing motion specs while most firms stayed at hundred-unit pilots. MagicLab argues 2026 is the pivot point where competition shifts from demo effects to hard delivery. Its physical-AI-native approach pairs a self-developed general model with modular products, and this year it … Read more
