A fleet of four AI-powered robots just installed 100 megawatts of solar panels at a utility-scale project in California. One panel per minute. No labor shortages. No fatigue. Maximo's robots, built with NVIDIA simulation tools and AWS infrastructure, just proved that physical AI works at energy scale.

@QuietDisclose @forallcurious But would that not also generate heat?

@forallcurious Photonics? This looks like the leap toward light-based computing we’ve been waiting for.

BREAKTHROUGH🚨: Scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a device that operates without generating heat- making computer processing speed 1000 times faster Processing of data that took 1 hour will take only 1 second with this device.

@forallcurious Someone explain the physics here

@CuriousInkCo And even with assisted living you can still have abuse or neglect … while paying them 3k/mo

We’re transitioning to retirement now, designing for maximum self-sufficiency, with accessibility a premium. (We hope to die at home.) Last night, I modified our (developing) floor plan for a charging nook for Optimus/Atlas type models. I think by the time we’ve built, the price point will be $15k. Crappy assisted living starts at $3k a month. Absolutely no contest.

Bank of America projects 3 billion humanoid robots in operation by 2060 — more than the world's 1.5 billion cars. 90,000 units ship in 2026. 1.2 million by 2030. 10 million by 2035. 62% eventually deployed inside homes. The driver is not technology. It is demographics. There will not be enough workers.

@adelbucetta And it’s a great domain to test and deploy a robot

@RoboDaily the reason most successful entrepreneurs get into robotics is that they're not just building products, they're trying to future-proof their company and avoid getting disrupted. this car ceo knew his industry was a sitting duck for automation.

A car company CEO quietly built a robotics company on his own factory floor. Now it's worth $3 billion. Rivian's RJ Scaringe spun out Mind Robotics in 2025 to automate dexterous manufacturing tasks other startups couldn't crack. Today it raised $400M led by Kleiner Perkins, bringing total funding to over $1 billion. $115M seed. $500M Series A. $400M now. All in under 12 months

@melooox3 That or I,Robot

@RoboDaily looks like a westworld scene in that basement where they store all the inactive hosts

Figure 04 just hit full design lock. Parts are already shipping. Brett Adcock calls it the company's biggest generational leap, the iPhone 1 moment for humanoids. F.04 was redesigned from scratch based on lessons from running F.03 24/7, with a focus on mass manufacturability and seventh-generation dexterous hands. F.03 production is currently estimated at 150 units per month. F.04 is already being built behind it.

@R2rule1 The only people that get predictions wrong more than the weatherman are bankers

Bankers who can't even manage to change toner in a printer predict 3 billion "humanoid robots" by 2060... Just counting to 3 billion one by one would take 95 years... without sleeping, without stopping. $400 Robotic vacuum cleaner come to market (Roomba) 24 years ago. total robotic vacuum cleaner sale all brands in 24 years is 200-250 million.. Bank of America people “projects” 24 years later there will be 3 billion $25K humanoid robots on world surface.. Okkkkkk…..

@CuriousInkCo That’d be so helpful

@RoboDaily I want a domestic and elder care bot. Think how many seniors could stay in their homes!

Humanoid robots are about to get a lot cheaper according to IDTechEx. The average unit cost falls from $114,700 in 2024 to $37,000 by 2030. That is a 68% price drop in 6 years. The market hits $25 billion by the early 2030s with 1.8 million units shipping annually by 2036. The catch: cheaper robots do not automatically mean positive ROI. Utilization rate and task continuity determine whether the math actually works

@agamemnus_dev @XH_Lee23 So what’s up with this dining room table

@XH_Lee23 Very cool. Won't be used for military applications of invading Taiwan at all

DJI's new FC200 four-drone formation: max payload of 600 kg. Unitree's new transformer mecha: 500 kg weight. This is what happens when they work together😏

@mikekalilmfg YouTube definitely isn’t the greatest venue for eyes and clicks on livestreams

i don’t think agility robotics gets enough credit for the work it’s been live-streaming for years

@dAmineKharrat @chris_j_paxton Robots imitating a real workplace

@chris_j_paxton Funny how one is working and one is watching

Humanoid robots doing work

@XueJia24682 Robocop is real

✨🇨🇳This cyber tactical police robot is from China’s Zhongqing Robotics. It’s incredibly cool.

@notgiannei Where’d you get that bad boy from?

the future of labor arrives in bubble wrap

@XH_Lee23 The journalists are finally seeing the potential

Fox News’ anchor Bret Baier is in China and just tested a humanoid robot working at a convenience store. He saw for himself how China is leading and dominating the AI race. Robots and AI have become China’s new pandas: a must-see and try for visitors from abroad!

@mikekalilmfg Oh no…

The Chinese company FIGUROBOT is selling a desktop humanoid robots that resemble anime girls. The NIA-F01 stands 56 cm (1 foot 10 inches) and weighs about 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs). It has 34-35 microservos for walking, turning its head, waving, posing, etc. It also shows facial expressions and responds to voice, touch, and visual cues. The Shanghai-based startup says the robots are fully customizable so users can change their model’s face, hair, outfit, voice, and personality. Pricing is reported around $1,400.

@adcock_brett @JBONE83 GET THOSE PACKAGES GARY!!

Day 2 is Live: Watch humanoid robots Bob, Frank, and Gary running 24/7. This is fully autonomous running Helix-02 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

PAL Robotics is about to show the world a new robotic arm, and they’re not revealing the name until ICRA. The Barcelona-based company unveils the platform June 1 in Vienna. What’s confirmed: 7 degrees of freedom, under 10kg, 3kg payload, ROS 2 architecture, and proprietary Series Elastic Actuators already proven in TIAGo Pro and Kangaroo. Built for researchers and developers. Commercial sales later in 2026.
