Show Notes

You can now book a humanoid robot cleaner for just $30 ... but there is a catch.

In this episode of Humanoid Daily, we look at Tau Robotics’ new cleaning service and why supervised robot visits could become a valuable source of real-world household training data.

We also break down Shanghai Electric’s surprising new family of humanoids, industrial robots, components and 51 AI models ... and what its vertically integrated strategy says about the speed of China’s robotics industry.

Finally, we take another look at the FCC’s sweeping new restrictions on foreign-made robots. The policy reaches far beyond humanoids and quadrupeds, potentially covering connected robot vacuums, lawnmowers, delivery robots and other machines weighing more than 4.4 pounds.

Today’s stories:

• Tau Robotics launches humanoid cleaning • Shanghai Electric unveils a robot family • The FCC robot ban expands far beyond humanoids • Number of the day: 4.4 pounds
