Chinese robotics company DroidUp has presented a humanoid robot called Moya during recent public demonstrations in China. Moya is described by its developer as a biomimetic humanoid robot. The design focuses on reproducing human proportions and movement patterns, with articulated joints, a human-scale body, and soft exterior materials. According to publicly available information, Moya is equipped with cameras and sensors that support visual perception and interaction. These systems allow the robot to track people in its surroundings and adjust its gaze and head position accordingly.

FedEx plans to deploy an autonomous robotic trailer unloading system developed through a multi-year collaboration with Berkshire Grey, expanding the use of automation in its parcel handling operations. The system, known as Scoop, is scheduled to enter operation later in 2026. The Scoop system is designed to automate the unloading of trailers containing a wide range of package types, a task that has traditionally required manual labor and has been characterized by variability in package size, weight, and placement.

AGIBOT staged a 60-minute live gala performance titled “AGIBOT NIGHT” in Shanghai, featuring humanoid robots as the primary performers across dance, music, comedy, and stage illusion segments. The event was presented as a fully robot-led live show, with humanoid systems occupying central roles throughout the program rather than serving as supporting elements.

Zaytran has introduced the XRAY-S-5800 robotic gripper, expanding its product line with a model intended for large-part automation applications that involve high accelerations, heavy loads, and elevated robot transfer speeds. The gripper is designed for use in large robotic systems where increasing payload capacity and faster cycle times place higher mechanical demands on end-of-arm tooling.

Two technology companies are exploring whether decentralized digital infrastructure could play a role in the future development of robotic and intelligent systems. In a joint announcement, AIxCrypto Inc. and Faraday Future said they have entered into a non-exclusive partnership to examine how Web3 and blockchain technologies might be applied to so-called “embodied AI”.

Researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology and the National University of Singapore, working with collaborators from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Nanyang Technological University, have developed an artificial intelligence control system designed to improve the adaptability and reliability of soft robotic arms in real-world environments.

GeoCue has added MOST Robotics GmbH to its distribution network covering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, expanding regional access to TrueView LiDAR systems and LP360 point cloud processing software. Under the arrangement, MOST Robotics will supply aerial, handheld, and mobile LiDAR solutions alongside LP360 to customers in surveying, construction, forestry, agriculture, and industrial inspection seeking integrated workflows from data capture through delivery.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. has expanded its operations into robotics with the launch of three embodied artificial intelligence robot product lines at the annual National Automobile Dealers Association Show in Las Vegas. The company showed the FF Futurist humanoid robot, the FF Master humanoid robot, and the FX Aegis quadruped robot, alongside the establishment of a new subsidiary, FF EAI-Robotics Inc., headquartered in California. The hardware of these robots is provided by Agibot, FF adds their own software.

Robot orders in North America rose in 2025, reflecting increased investment in automation across a wider range of industries beyond automotive manufacturing. Data from the Association for Advancing Automation show that companies ordered 36,766 robots during the year, with a total value of $2.25 billion. Compared with 2024, unit orders increased by 6.6 percent, while the value of orders rose by 10.1 percent.

OpenClaw, an open-source autonomous AI agent first released in late 2025, has rapidly become one of the most discussed projects in artificial intelligence. Originally launched as Clawdbot, later renamed Moltbot, and now known as OpenClaw, the software has gained widespread attention for its ability to run on personal devices and autonomously carry out user-defined tasks.
