Following days of speculation, 1X has officially announced its NEO humanoid robot is available for pre-order as a consumer product, priced at $20,000 or $499/month. The launch confirms the company's strategy to use a "human-in-the-loop" model to train its AI in real-world homes.

A custom-painted Tesla Optimus robot appeared at the world premiere of Disney's 'Tron: Ares,' performing 'kung fu' moves alongside actor Jared Leto. The appearance serves as a high-profile demonstration of the humanoid's recent progress, contextualizing its previously showcased martial arts skills.

LG Electronics and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have unveiled KAPEX, a next-generation humanoid robot designed to learn and adapt in real-world environments, marking a major push to compete in the global race for 'physical AI'.

Shenzhen-based startup LimX Dynamics has released a video of its new humanoid robot, Oli, autonomously locating, walking to, and picking up a tennis ball. The demonstration highlights a complex capability known as whole-body loco-manipulation, a skill not often seen in the current generation of humanoid robots.
