11/ As a result, in 2023, we co-authored and defended a research paper on robotic economic autonomy with a researcher from MIT Media Lab.

@EnsRationis
12/ Another experiment in robotic arm programming—we launched a robotic café in Saint Petersburg, where the only human worker was the barista, while a robotic manipulator took on the role of an assistant, responsible for baking waffles.
3/11
@EnsRationis
13/ One of the most interesting challenges was getting the wooden stick to pierce exactly through the center of the waffle. To solve this, we had to machine a custom cone-shaped guide, using an orbital docking principle to ensure perfect alignment.
It was a fun and challenging experience!

14/ A telescope may not seem like an obvious robot, but it’s an incredible example of autonomy and Web3 integration!
The best place in the world for stargazing is in Chile, but for most people, that’s just too far. Astronomy enthusiasts often save for years just to spend a week under the Atacama Desert sky.
We built a service that transformed real astronomical photos into NFT postcards.
Between 2021 and 2022, anyone in the world could visit our dApp, where the telescope displayed a list of notable celestial objects currently visible. By sending a transaction, the system automatically processed the request—without any human involvement.
Within five minutes, you could find your $20 astrophotography NFT in your crypto wallet—captured and minted just for you by a robot!
5/11
@EnsRationis
15/ And finally, one last experiment worth discussing in the context of robotic autonomy.
We purchased one of the first Boston Dynamics robot dogs and developed an educational course that provided remote access to the robot for hands-on learning.

@EnsRationis
16/ Today, we want to apply this experience to working with humanoid robots, but our main focus as a team is to explore the possibilities of developing user applications for economically autonomous humanoid robots.

17/ And with that in mind, let’s move on to the second part of the lecture - an overview of the 2025 robot market!
8/11
@EnsRationis
18/ Back in 2017, not a single roboticist would have believed this! I traveled to top universities across Europe and Asia, and almost every researcher I spoke with was extremely skeptical about any form of robot autonomy beyond conveyor lines.
And now - just look at the slide! In 2025, we already have an entire lineup of real-world cases to discuss!
9/11
@EnsRationis
19/ I've selected the three most recognizable humanoid robots that the wider audience will likely get familiar with in 2025. But I want to draw your attention to a few details that most casual viewers would probably overlook.
10/11
@EnsRationis
20/ The most affordable humanoid robot in the world today is the Unitree G1. We know this for sure - because we received one in December 2024!
You’ve probably already seen several posts from @vitl2907 and me about our first experiences working with Unitree: The First Two Weeks of Working with the Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot / Robonomics Network
11/11
@EnsRationis
21/ Let's watch the Unitree G1 presentation video. Here are a few key details to pay attention to:
Watch the first 10 seconds carefully - see how the robot stands up. This will be important when we later compare it to the Atlas humanoid.
A humanoid robot is not a human! Despite its form, the manufacturer immediately shows that it moves in ways that are completely unnatural for human anatomy. Keep this in mind - traditional human body limitations don’t necessarily apply to humanoid robots.
The impact test & grass test - these check the robot’s stability while walking. Until the 2020s, only Boston Dynamics robots could remain standing in such conditions.
The "egg test" got a Unitree-style twist - instead of demonstrating tactile sensitivity, they jokingly replaced it with a walnut-cracking test. It’s a fun detail, but keep in mind that tactile hands cost extra. By default, most humanoids will have grippers without precise pressure control - but at least they can take a hit with a hammer and keep working! That’s exactly what the manufacturer is hinting at.
And yes, the assembly looks sleek and chill, but don’t be fooled - it’s still heavy! Right now, the team transports it to events in a wheelchair - and they say it’s actually pretty convenient!

Figure AI Unveils Helix: A Step Toward Smarter Home Robots
Figure AI has introduced Helix, an advanced AI system enabling humanoid robots to execute complex tasks via voice commands. The system features:
A 7B-parameter multimodal language model processing speech & vision at 7-9 Hz
An 80M-parameter AI translating commands into precise movements at 200 Hz
35 degrees of freedom for fine motor control, allowing robots to grasp objects accurately
A standout demo showcased two robots collaborating in a kitchen, placing food into a fridge without prior object training. Helix required only 500 training hours, far less than competitors, and runs on embedded GPUs, making household robot deployment more feasible.
Despite ending its OpenAI partnership, Figure AI is doubling down on in-house real-world robotics AI development. While promising, practical applications remain unproven.

This is wild.
This is NOT CGI or sped up
China's EngineAI humanoid robot just nailed the "Axe Gang" dance from Kung Fu Hustle.

When I watched it, I knew they didn't dance to music and the dancers were trained to dance at the robots pace. Much cooler when the robot is doing it to a beat purposefully. I don't know how much training it took to get to this point, so its not that impressive with current tech.

So this is totally AI generated after all
In the raw footage there are artifacts on one of the left dancers left arm around 14 sec in and some brick like column thing that appears and vanishes on the stairs behind the robots left leg.
Playback 13-15 secs in you will clearly see it you focus on the the yellow circles. It's AI

Do you know if the robot is replaying motion capture data from human dancer, or is the movement result of AI decisions only?

Now put skin on the robot. Make it look human. Will you be able to tell it is even a robot?

SAN JOSE, California, March 19 (Reuters) - Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab CEO Jensen Huang believes humanoid robots are less than five years away from seeing wide use in manufacturing facilities.
Huang on Tuesday gave a keynote address in front of a packed hockey stadium during the nearly $3 trillion company's annual developer conference in San Jose, California.

Huang unveiled software tools that he said would help humanoid robots navigate the world more easily.
Speaking to a group of journalists after the speech, Huang was asked what signs would show that AI had become ubiquitous.
Among other answers, Huang said it may be "when, literally, humanoid robots are wandering around, which is not five years away. This is not five-years-away problem, this is a few-years-away problem."
The manufacturing industry would likely adopt humanoid robots first because that industry has well-defined tasks that robots can handle in a controlled environment, he said.
"I think it ought to go to factories first. And the reason for that is because the domain is much more guard-railed, and the use case is much more specific," Huang said.
"The value of it is very, very easy to determine. The going rate for renting a human robot is probably $100,000 and I think it's pretty good economics."

STOCKHOLM, March 19 (Reuters) - A Swedish AI startup company has created a robot dog named Luna that has a functional digital nervous system capable of learning and adapting like humans and many animals, the company, IntuiCell, said on Wednesday.
In one of the first-use cases of physical agentic AI, which can make decisions and take actions towards specific goals rather than just perform narrow tasks or generate content, the robot dog would be able to learn like a real dog.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
IntuiCell will hire a dog trainer - instead of integrating a generative AI model and vast datasets - to teach Luna to walk, based on how neurons interact and process information, it said.
"What we have built is the first software that allows any machine to learn like humans and animals do," CEO and co-founder Viktor Luthman said in an interview.
"There's no pre training, no offline simulations and no billion-dollar data centre in the background, but there's a nervous system that allows the machine to learn."
Indeed, the robot dog's potential would lead to advances in human-like robots' capabilities in different environments, he said.
"The next step is exploring humanoid robotics, exploring autonomous robotics in unpredictable environments such as space exploration, deep sea exploration, or disaster response," Luthman said.
Intelligent machines could be sent to Mars, for example, to build future habitats for people, an environment where the robots cannot be pre-trained and would need to be able to solve problems as they arise, he said.
While Luna can currently stand up on its feet, the robot dog would perceive, process and improve through direct interactions with the world.
Formed as a spin-out from Lund University in Sweden in 2020, IntuiCell is funded by Sweden's Navigare Ventures, Norway's SNÖ Ventures and the European Union.
