A new behind-the-scenes documentary from UK startup Humanoid details the company’s aggressive development cycle, its "Capability Factory" AI strategy, and a commercial pipeline that has already secured 30,000 pre-orders.

Following the reveal of its GENE.01 concept at CES 2026, Italian startup Generative Bionics has signed a four-year industrial partnership with shipbuilding giant Fincantieri to deploy autonomous welding robots in heavy manufacturing.

Budapest-based Allonic is ditching traditional mechanical assembly for "3D Tissue Braiding," an automated process that can manufacture complex, tendon-driven robotic bodies in minutes.

Humanoid has unveiled KinetIQ, a multi-layered AI architecture designed to orchestrate entire robot fleets across retail, industrial, and home environments using a cross-timescale approach.

With a flurry of partnerships involving NVIDIA, Siemens, Ford, and Schaeffler, the UK startup is living up to its reputation as the fastest-moving player in the western humanoid race.
