XMAQUINA

XMAQUINA just crossed $10M raised. Our transparent auction system brought 2,000 individual contributors and top venture funds together on equal terms. As the robotics market booms, @xmaquina is opening access to one of tech’s most explosive sectors ↓ xmaquina.io/blog/10m-raise…

This isn't just about humanoids. The bill targets all unmanned ground vehicles from adversary nations. Unitree. AgiBot. Both preparing massive IPOs. Both now in Washington's crosshairs. The drone ban playbook, applied to robots. Read the full story ↓ humanoidsdaily.com/news/us-lawmak…

🚨 The US just moved to ban Chinese humanoids from federal procurement. The American Security Robotics Act would ban federal procurement of Chinese humanoid robots. citing backdoors, surveillance risks, and national security. Same week Figure 03 walked through the White House. The signal is clear.

Humanoid robotics is emerging as a new asset class. Until now, access has been limited to venture funds and institutional investors. $DEUS changes that. DAO capital is being deployed into the world’s top robotics companies. 📊 Explore the portfolio → dao.xmaquina.io

What if you could build your own humanoid robot at home? Asimov just made that possible! A broken knee joint and a 2-month wait for a single spare part later, they built their own humanoid, and launched a DIY kit. $1M in pre-orders in 30 days says they're not alone in that frustration.

Breaking: @physical_int is in talks to raise $1B at a valuation above $11B, doubling in the past four months. Investors continue to back the idea that general-purpose robot intelligence will be a winner-takes-most market. More on the robot brain layer ↓ xmaquina.io/blog/inside-th…

One Digit clocks out to charge. The other clocks in automatically. Robots managing robots. This is what 24/7 autonomous operation actually looks like.

Jeff Bezos has a track record of backing category-defining companies early. He has recently backed 7 AI and robotics startups spanning the full humanoid robotics stack. Here are the startups you should be paying attention to ↓ finance.yahoo.com/news/7-ai-star…

Inevitable.

Robotics mainstream adoption is continuing to accelerate. We haven’t even seen the tip of the iceberg yet on the biggest market mankind has ever seen, and there’s really only one place where you can get meaningful exposure to it. crypto x robotics / acc

Amazon is not acquiring a concept. It is acquiring a functioning platform. More on the deal ↓ humanoidsdaily.com/news/amazon-ac…

Fauna Robotics was founded in 2024 by former Meta and Google engineers and raised $30M from Kleiner Perkins and Lux Capital. Its humanoid, Sprout, runs on NVIDIA Jetson Orin and is already capable of voice recognition, object manipulation, and memory formation.

🚨 @amazon has acquired @faunarobotics, marking its second robotics acquisition in under a month. The move extends Amazon’s robotics strategy beyond fulfillment and further into the home, where safety, adaptability, and human interaction are central. Fauna’s soft-bodied humanoids are built for shared environments, a clear contrast to industrial systems and a better fit for consumer use cases. Taken together, these moves point to a more coordinated strategy across the humanoid stack, from hardware to deployment. The pace of consolidation is increasing, with strategic buyers moving earlier into the market.

The DAO continues to source its next set of allocations. Meet @SkildAI, building what could become the universal brain for robots. We break down the company, its technical approach, and its positioning within the humanoid stack ↓ xmaquina.io/blog/how-skild…

Latest: Amazon acquires @rivr_tech, maker of a stair-climbing delivery robot RIVR operates in the exact environment that constrained @Amazon’s Scout program in 2022. Instead of iterating internally, Amazon invested, observed real-world performance, and acquired once the technology was validated. This is the tech giant playbook in physical AI.

“1 robot per human” frames the future. “We need more than that” describes the present. The global economy is already operating with a labor deficit, and robotics is being pulled in as a direct input into growth, not as a distant replacement cycle. The real question is not how many robots exist, but how quickly they can become productive.

Just in! Unitree files for a ~$610M IPO after delivering 5,500+ humanoid robots, ~1.7B RMB in revenue, and gross margins above 60%, making it the only company in the category operating at scale with profitability. This IPO sets the first public market benchmark for humanoid robotics and begins to define how the sector will be valued, funded, and expanded going forward.
