Lu’s company, BeingBeyond, just released Being-H0.8, an implicit tactile world-action model trained on 500,000 hours of first-person human video, the largest such corpus among embodied models globally. Its progression tells the story: H0 at 3,000 hours in July 2025, H0.5 at 35,000 hours supporting 30 robot types in January, H0.7 at 200,000 hours in April, … Read more
What ‘model-ready’ means Jianzhi Robotics calls the data it sells ‘Model-Ready Data’, data you can feed straight to a model without rework. It needs three traits at once: high precision, multimodality and diversity. Hand-tracking error of 2-3cm, the industry norm, means the model sees a finger a full digit off, so it grabs through cup … Read more

Now Chinese makers are looking up, from the plane to the facade, and the window-cleaning robot is having its moment. Cui Haishun, who runs the window-robot business … Read more
Xiaomi has released and open-sourced Xiaomi-Robotics-U0, which it calls the first unified generative model for embodied AI, and the bottleneck it targets is the one everyone agrees on but few have solved: robot training data. Language models drank from the internet; robots have no equivalent “physical-world internet.” Useful data, vision, action and state together, mostly … Read more
The shift at WAIC 2026 was not in any single product but in the script. Past editions debated what humanoid robots were even for. This year the answer was stacked on the booths: humanoids moving totes in warehouses around the clock, picking among 3,000 pharmacy SKUs, putting a Coke in the fridge and a dirty … Read more
