Show Notes
DeepSeek is investing about $21 million in Unitree, but the bigger story is the strategic partnership behind the deal. To oversimplify: DeepSeek will be the brains; Unitree will be the brawn.
Welcome to Humanoid Daily #11!
In this episode, we break down what the two companies have actually agreed to, why Unitree could benefit from DeepSeek’s reasoning and AI expertise, and why it is still too early to say DeepSeek has become ALL of the “brains” inside Unitree’s robots.

The future of humanoid robots might not look human at all. In fact, the "humanoid robots" of the future could have wheels instead of legs, four arms instead of two, or even look more like spiders than people.
Schaeffler plans to put at least 1,000 of Hexagon's Aeon humanoids to work across its global factory network by 2032. In an industry where most deployments are still counted in single digits, that's a very big number.
What if deploying a new robot didn't take weeks or months ... but hours?
Boston Dynamics just unveiled new hands for its Atlas humanoid robot: four fingers, 13 degrees of freedom, and no pinky.
