Latest Humanoids
Boston Dynamics Builds Atlas a Simpler, Simulation-Ready Hand
The announced four-finger hand uses identical sealed actuators and has been tested at headquarters, but it is not yet across the Atlas fleet.
A Faster Way for Robots to Clear Clutter
A proposed planning method helps robots choose which objects to move, trading perfect answers for much shorter search times.
Workhorse Teaches a Humanoid Difficult Full-Body Tasks
RAI Institute’s system learns from human demonstrations, then performs selected behaviors on a real Unitree G1.
Two Humanoid Models Tie Prediction to Real Motion
Two arXiv papers propose different fixes for the same problem: a robot’s planned movement is not always the movement its body achieves.
HiPHI Links Human Motion to Humanoid Robot Skills
A sponsored Wiley and IEEE white paper describes a 617.5-hour dataset, including object interactions, and reports testing on a Unitree G1.
iGPC Transfers Motion Skills to Object-Aware Humanoid Control
The paper combines a pretrained motion controller with task-specific learning and onboard sensing; its key success rates come from simulation, not hardware.
Rohit Prasad to Push Boston Dynamics Toward Physical AI
The former Amazon AI executive will focus on turning robotics research into useful industrial and commercial systems.
DASH Lets Humanoids Use da Vinci Surgical Tools
A UC San Diego arXiv research paper reports tool recognition and teleoperation tests, not a clinical product.
A Biped Learns to Choose Safer Walking Commands
An IIT Mandi paper proposes a two-level controller that links route planning with gait limits, tested only in PyBullet simulation.
ARISE Helps Sophia Match Social Context With Movement
The ShanghaiTech framework links memory, visual cues, speech, facial motion, and gestures in a physical robot demo.
How TRABot Coordinates a Humanoid’s Voice, Face, and Gestures
A UAE University research system uses a prebuilt gesture catalog and state-aware replanning on a physical G1 robot.
CoFiT Teaches Humanoid Trackers to Work With Safety Filters
The proposed method lets a learned motion policy see constraints, remember corrections, and adjust before the filter must intervene.
How KungfuAthleteBot Turns Martial Arts Video Into Recoverable Robot Motion
A preprint combines motion repair, physics-aware training, and one recovery policy on a 29-degree-of-freedom Unitree G1.
RoboAssist Replans the Affected Part of Surgical Tasks
The proposed framework separates uncertain human activity from robot actions, then updates only the unfinished work that no longer fits.
How a Fruit-Fly Model Moves a Humanoid Robot
IEEE Spectrum reports a research demonstration linking stereo vision, an insect neural model, and a Unitree G1’s motor commands.
Seated Operator Guides Humanoid Through Construction Tasks
A University of California, Irvine feasibility study used headset tracking and foot pedals, but the robot worked far slower than a person.
Atlas Gets a Robot Hand Built for Service
Boston Dynamics trades a humanlike shape for simpler production, tool use, and replaceable hardware.
Custom Sensors Could Give Humanoids Better Physical Control
Vishay Precision Group plans a RoboBusiness showcase of embedded force and torque sensing; the announcement describes custom engineering, not a confirmed robot deployment.
