Humanoid Daily #10: BYD's humanoid robot, India's robot, UK goes farming, and Unitree's $7.4 billion
Humanoid DailyShow Notes
Humanoid robots are moving from demonstrations toward real production, and the global race is becoming increasingly geopolitical.
In Humanoid Daily #10, John Koetsier covers BYD’s upcoming Xiao Di humanoid, Ati Robotics’ push to build robots in India with fewer Chinese components, and a reported 100,000-unit order for dexterous-hand joint modules.
We also look at Reimagine Robotics, a startup founded by former Google DeepMind researchers that wants workers to train robots simply by demonstrating tasks, plus Britain’s new £20 million competition to bring more robots onto farms.
And the number of the day is $7.4 billion: the estimated lower end of Unitree Robotics’ potential valuation following its planned public listing.
