🤖 A new milestone for humanoid AI?
X-Humanoid has unveiled TG-VLA, claiming it's the first Vision-Language-Action (VLA) framework designed for full-body humanoid control.
Instead of coordinating just the arms, TG-VLA plans and executes movements across the robot's entire body. Better yet, its core model, HEX, is open source.
JUST IN: Weave Robotics has unveiled Isaac 1, its first mobile home robot designed to handle a wide range of household chores—including tidying, laundry, cleaning, and organizing. The robot is expected to begin shipping in fall 2026, marking a major step toward practical home automation
China has officially taken the #1 spot in supercomputing with LineShine, the world's fastest publicly verified supercomputer.
Delivering an incredible 2.198 exaflops—over 2 quintillion calculations per second—it achieved this milestone without using GPUs, relying entirely on CPUs. The system is designed to power breakthroughs in AI, climate modeling, drug discovery, and advanced scientific research.
The next frontier? Zettascale computing—machines that could be 1,000× more powerful than today's exascale supercomputers.

One last wave from #Automate2026. 👋
Now it's time for a Chicago deep dish. 🍕
🤖 @AGIBOTofficial
DeepRobotics has unveiled a new firefighting robot dog that uses pulse-based fire suppression technology to extinguish fires without direct human contact. The quadruped robot can be remotely operated, accurately identify fire sources, and work in hazardous environments that are too dangerous for firefighters. Its design aims to improve firefighter safety while enabling faster and more precise response in high-risk fire zones.

🚨 BREAKING: Hyundai Motor Company is buying SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics for $325 million.
Reported by Reuters. A board meeting is expected on June 22nd to approve the purchase.
@BostonDynamics has had one of the most extraordinary journeys of any company in the industry:
→ Founded in 1992 as a spin-off from MIT
→ Acquired by Google in 2013
→ Sold to SoftBank in 2017
→ Majority stake acquired by Hyundai in 2021
→ Now becoming a 100% Hyundai company in 2026
Hyundai is not a passive financial investor. It is one of the world's largest manufacturers: cars, ships, industrial equipment.
Boston Dynamics inside a fully committed Hyundai gives Spot and Atlas access to real manufacturing environments, real supply chains and real deployment at scale.
This could be the moment Boston Dynamics stops being the world's most impressive robotics demo company and starts becoming a genuine industrial force.
The robots are coming. And they now have a very serious parent.

JUST IN: Tesla has filed a trademark application for “MEGAPOD,” described as modular data center hardware for AI computing.
Hyundai has unveiled a self-driving robot designed to navigate diverse terrains while automatically adapting to different load weights. The autonomous system is built to maintain stability and performance across changing environments and carrying conditions.
Genesis AI has unveiled Eno, its first general-purpose humanoid robot. Rather than aiming for a human-like appearance, Eno is designed to feel capable, approachable, and practical, with a planned launch in Q4 this year.
Humanoid retail stores in China are becoming full-service hubs, offering maintenance, custom upgrades, training, and robot rentals.
Supported by local manufacturing clusters that can supply parts on demand, these stores are part of a government-backed effort to strengthen humanoid robot supply chains, boost public awareness, and accelerate adoption across industries.

During a test sparring session ahead of URKL, EngineAI’s humanoid robot fighting league, one T800 knocked the head off another T800.
The headless robot tried to keep fighting, but its balance and orientation quickly fell apart.
