Most companies are taking a break for the holiday season. That hasn’t stopped ENGINEAI from announcing its latest humanoid robot. The ENGINEAI PM01 is a 1.38m humanoid robot with a dual-chip architecture (Intel N97 + NVIDIA Jetson Orin). It has 24DoF and walking speed of 2m/s. It weighs only 40kg. The below video how this robot can walk naturally:
We have already seen Boston Dynamics’ robots pull of plenty of impressive moves. The electric Atlas is pretty agile too. The company has shared a new video of Atlas dressed up as Santa doing backflips. Other humanoid robots have done backflips but Atlas nails the move.
This is the TORA-ONE: a wheeled humanoid robot with dexterous hands and 47 degrees of freedom. It can move in all directions. It has 0.05mm positioning accuracy. This robot has 1956 tactile sensors. Its height is adjustable from 1.46 to 1.86m.
This is the PUDU D9: a full-sized bipedal humanoid robot that stands 170cm tall, weighing 65kg. It has 42 degrees of freedom across its joints. It has the PUDU DH11 dexterous hand, so it is ready for dual band operation. This robot can walk at speeds comparable to adult humans (up to 2 m/s). It can also handle stairs and slopes.

There is no better way to master robotics than building your own robots. Stella is an educational robot that you can make with 3D printed components. It can carry a robot arm and other comparable payloads. As you can see in the below video, Stella can move on ice and other challenging surfaces.
Here is a whole body tracking framework that enables humanoid robots to mimic motion based any reference motion input. The model is trained in simulation with RL and then transferred into real work. With this approach, humanoid robots can maintain stability while performing human-like motion.
This is the RB-WATCHER: a smart security robot that can complete surveillance tasks autonomously. It can patrol certain areas and locate people. It also has temperature anomaly detection. This robot has max payload of 50kg. It is IP54 rated. It uses 4 x 500W motors and can overcome up to 80% slopes.
This is the Onyx NAUT: a modular amphibious system that can be used on quadruped robots for more challenging missions. It has an autonomous propulsion system for pre-programmed mission plans. It weighs 2lbs and has a speed of 3 knots. The below video shows it integrated with the Ghost Robotics V60.
Here’s the next evolution of Onyx’s systems—NAUT amphibious capabilities with SENTRY kinetic and ISR payloads. This integration with the Ghost Robotics V60 is just one example of the available options.

Here is an exoskeleton controller that makes it easy to teleoperate all kinds of robots. The myController S570 is a Python compatible controller with open source features. It has a portable design and offers precise motion capture. Its 2-inch display gives you data and status feedback. You get Bluetooth, USB, and wireless connection methods with this.
