Cosmos 3 Super Text2Image is a 64B open omnimodal model tuned for physically plausible images. Here is how Diffusers, vLLM-Omni, and agentic upsampling fit into a real synthetic-data pipeline.
Digit V5 is built to work shoulder-to-shoulder with people without safety caging, with 20+ hour battery shifts and first customer shipments in December 2026. I mapped what fenceless humanoids change for factory ops and pilot ROI math.
Honor's Robot Phone ships in China with a titanium 4DoF camera arm, dual 200MP lenses, and YOYO Robot Mode. I broke down what a shipping embodied-AI phone means for perception stacks and third-party dev APIs.
Mitsubishi Motors partnered with University of Tokyo spinout Highlanders to mass-produce HL Human humanoids at a former Kyoto ICE engine plant, targeting up to 1,000 units per month from early 2027. I broke down the builder-plus-buyer model automakers use to skip endless pilots.
Northrop Grumman's Mission Robotic Vehicle will attach modular propulsion pods to the Optus satellite in 2027, adding roughly six more years of life. I explained how MRV plus MEP pods change satellite servicing economics versus parking whole servicers behind one customer.
Figure AI, Weave, Sunday Robotics, and LG are all folding clothes on stage. I broke down why deformable-object manipulation is the real test and what teleop means for buyers.
