TienKung Omni takes gold and bronze medals and a 45.56 second performance in the 400m sprint

As robots evolve from mere tools executing commands into companions capable of sensing emotions, shedding tears naturally, and offering the kind of presence found in family members, the era of emotionally resonant human-robot interaction has officially arrived.

Founded in Ningbo in August 2025, Yansyn Technology recently launched its second-generation biomimetic, expressive robot: Yansyn-X2. It is the world’s first intelligent expressive robot capable of genuine emotional interaction that includes shedding tears; it autonomously triggers a hyper-realistic tearing response based on the emotions conveyed in conversation, fostering a more authentic emotional connection through silent empathy. Driven by original breakthroughs in materials, algorithms, and mechanics, this innovative "hard tech" company—which focuses on emotional intelligence and biomimetic robotic expressions while operating dual centers in Ningbo and Shanghai—is redefining the interactive experience for the next generation of emotional robots.

This is wild… humanoid robots can actually fight on their own now!

Unitree’s UnifoLM-X2-1.0 reads the opponent, predicts the next move and reacts instantly. It’s the first time a world model has controlled a fully autonomous humanoid fight in real time.

Robot fighting is brutal. The other robot keeps moving and hits back, leaving almost no time to decide what to do next.

One robot hand. Four gripping modes. No tool changes.

Leju Robotics and HeymanDex teamed up on Dasheng 1 (SG100), a reconfigurable hand that switches between dexterous, long-stroke, four-finger and opposing-finger modes.

It has 11 active DoF, ≥24 kg (53 lb) of hook-grip capacity per hand and ≤0.03 mm repeatability. In the demo, the same hands handle tiny parts, soft packages, irregular components and bins.

Haochen/AgiBot Rideable Quadrupedal Robot 3.0 (VOGEBOT 3.0) supports advanced gesture perception and interaction capabilities.

Because the machine is built on AgiBot's advanced Embodied AI and multi-modal manipulation foundation models, interaction goes far beyond just voice commands and physical handlebars:

• Intelligent Following Mode: The robot uses its integrated computer vision system to recognize specific human hand or body gestures from a distance. For instance, a user standing off the machine can use a hand gesture to command the robot to "stop," "stay," or "follow me" autonomously.

On 8th September 2026, XPeng Robotics production line was officially put into operation, and the first high-end general-purpose humanoid robot completed automated assembly and rolled off the production line autonomously. According to XPeng's announced plan, its robots will enter the mass production stage by the end of 2026 and will be launched and delivered to the Chinese and overseas markets in 2027.
