Tesla’s Android app has contained Optimus renders labeled “gen3” since August 27. We compared four app builds: higher-resolution versions arrived September 5, and the latest release contains the same files. Compared with the gold variant, the “gen3” render covers the exposed mechanisms around the hips and lower legs. A glimpse of the next Optimus? Possibly. These are app assets—not confirmation of the final hardware or a working robot interface.frozen29d ago38K147774250.49%
Agility co-founder Jonathan Hurst, asked by analysts to name his competitors: "Almost none of the humanoid robots that exist compete with us. They have two legs and two arms maybe, but they aren't picking up bins... They don't have any safety." The one rival he named: Boston Dynamics.frozen16d ago28K747

We overlaid the gold and "gen3" Optimus renders from Tesla's app. Same camera and pose, so the outlines line up. "gen3": head ~12% wider, neck ~11% thicker, shins ~15% wider, shoulders sit lower. Hips and calves fully covered. Apparent widths in 2D, not real dimensions. https://t.co/vv5dB19eVLfrozen28d ago25K95751230.51%
Two new robot hands today, hours apart. Boston Dynamics built Atlas's like a machine: 4 fingers, 13 DoF, a motor inside every joint, no tendons, no pinky. Clone built its like a body: five fingers pulled by artificial muscles and tendons, laid out like human anatomy. https://t.co/P4VeNM504Mfrozen21d ago22K3904513101312.66%
Unitree casts the new H2-X as a robot superhero: confronting a knife-wielding intruder, lifting a car to free a dummy and pushing a child-sized doll out of traffic. These are, of course, staged scenes, not proof of autonomous rescue skills. But quite an action-movie pitch for a humanoid.2d ago14K789141140.85%
Figure 02 might be getting a Terminator-style sendoff. Brett Adcock said Figure was running out of room, and auctioning off the old robots was out: they needed to be destroyed to protect the company’s IP. He ran a poll. “BLOW THEM UP” won with 46.3%. Then Arnold Schwarzenegger replied: “You should melt them.” Adcock’s response? “Arnold! DM sent.” Now he’s posted an AI-generated “Goodbye F.02” teaser with distinctly Terminator 2 imagery. Apparently, an internet poll is no match for a suggestion from the Terminator.frozen24d ago12K5632190.59%
Bill Gates doesn't buy the argument that AI and humanoid robots will simply create new jobs to replace the old ones. Asked by the New York Times' Ezra Klein, he says that once white-collar AI and humanoid robots cross reliability thresholds, "you destroy jobs and you leave no high ground." His example: when Amazon warehouses replace people with robots, "people don't buy more because of that." "People who say there'll be net additional jobs, I don't understand what they're thinking."frozen18d ago12K52377280.82%
What happens when a factory robot breaks? Tokyo startup O-ID is building modular humanoids with replaceable joints, limbs and compute units. Its pitch: on-site repairs in minutes, supported by sensors that flag component wear before failure. It has raised $1.2 million in pre-seed funding led by TAWANI Ventures, targeting Japanese automotive manufacturing and logistics first. The modularity is intriguing. Measured repair times, reliability results and a customer rollout schedule are still to come.frozen28d ago11K1131195751.92%
Heavy lifting—with a moonwalk to finish. KAIST’s humanoid v0.9 pushes objects weighing up to 35 kg and lifts up to 20 kg to spell out “KAIST,” using onboard vision, reinforcement learning and learning from human demonstrations. https://t.co/5eIUWHsXo43d ago11K1722976442.42%
Tesla reportedly went from building a few dozen Optimus robots a week to several hundred. But the hands and AI remain major hurdles. The Information reports: • Hand-and-forearm assemblies require manual assembly of 100+ screws and other small components. • Touch sensors have durability problems. • Suppliers struggle to maintain quality at higher volumes. • Optimus struggles with unfamiliar tasks. Most units are used internally for testing, training and data collection. The V3 being built reportedly isn’t the final customer version. Scaling production is one challenge. Turning that output into reliable, useful robots is another.frozen26d ago10K1299152271.80%
IRON makes an entrance at XPENG’s first robotics supply-chain partner conference. Behind the demonstration is a manufacturing push: XPENG says it has signed supplier agreements and is scheduling production. It targets mass production by year-end, with market launch and deliveries in 2027. The announcement fits a wider story—from Tesla’s reported supplier audits in Ningbo to Apptronik CEO Jeff Cardenas’s warning about gaps in America’s robot-component supply base. Getting humanoids into useful work requires reliable parts, consistent manufacturing and viable costs. https://t.co/00uAqnl7XRfrozen29d ago9.4K14518113282.19%

One of the biggest challenges in robotics is combining fine motor control with the ability to generalize to unfamiliar tasks. Nature Will's @naturewill new foundation model Natura-1 aims to tackle both, combining dexterous manipulation, zero-shot generalization, and long-horizon execution. Trained on nearly 1 million hours of first-person human data, the model is designed to bring more adaptable manipulation capabilities to real-world robots.frozen10d ago7.0K1011050.24%
America’s humanoid robot ambitions face a hardware bottleneck. Apptronik CEO Jeff Cardenas says actuators—the motors, gears and electronics that act as a robot’s muscles—can account for up to 60% of its parts cost. And the U.S. supply gap goes beyond rare earths: “We have major shortages in things like gears where we don’t have the supply base that we need.” Apptronik wants to build that capacity in Texas. Scaling humanoids will require scaling the companies that make their parts, too. 🎥 Fox Businessfrozen1mo ago6.8K609103131.40%
Meet Voxel, a home robot from Tuesday Labs, founded by former Boston Dynamics roboticist Ros Shinkle. Backwards-bending legs, a face on its torso and plenty of character.

Tesla’s Android app includes two versions of this Optimus “gen3” render: a brighter full-body image and a darker one named “inactive.” Could they represent different app states—an inactive robot, or an account without an Optimus linked?Possibly, but that’s speculation. This GIF simply alternates between the extracted images. It is NOT a recording of the app, and the assets don’t confirm a working Optimus interface or the final Gen 3 design.frozen29d ago4.2K3910171.14%

“Keeping them working has to be as scalable as building them.” We asked O-ID CEO Stian Jakobsen how modular robot maintenance would actually work. The plan: detect wear in an elbow, ship a replacement, then have a trained factory worker power down the robot and swap the module. It would load its stored calibration and run readiness checks before returning to work. The old module goes back for refurbishment. No engineer flying in for every replacement. Why build in Japan? Jakobsen points to precision automotive manufacturers that could both supply the robots and use them—and relationships built by being there. This is the intended workflow, still under development.

Tesla is cutting RAM to scale Optimus. Musk says AI5’s allocation was halved to 72GB and AI6’s cut by a third to 144GB to secure enough supply and lower costs. He expects little performance impact: memory bandwidth, which he calls the bigger bottleneck, is unchanged. https://t.co/FKRR7SEyRbfrozen21d ago2.1K4054052.52%
Delta Intelligence’s new demo shows a humanoid handling records, making a bed and opening a dishwasher. But homes aren’t its first commercial target. In written answers to Humanoids Daily, founder Xiaojian Ma says the near-term focus is energy and infrastructure—underground facilities, offshore sites and other harsh environments he calls “Mars on Earth.” Delta wants to become an intelligence layer across robot brands. Its approach includes a camera-equipped head and a backpack containing compute and a battery, alongside work with partners on complete humanoids. Ma also explained why Delta built its own D1 data-capture system: learning hand movements alone isn’t enough. Robots need examples of how people balance, kneel, bend and use their whole bodies. The demo shows research progress. Reliable industrial deployment is the next test.frozen24d ago2.0K1432071.29%
