"A new way of actuating the humanoids π¦Ώ This is Phybot C1 a humanoid from Beijing (128 m XX kg XX DoF). What really stands out Its one of the first small humanoids to use cycloidal actuators. β Cycloidal gear drives unlike standard gearboxes spread loads across multiple contact points. That makes them compact tough and capable of handling high torque with minimal backlash. Most humanoid robots still use harmonic or planetary drives. Cycloidals bring advantages in strength durability and size. Thoughts Can it help humanoids become stronger or that's not the issue"

Here engineers partners and customers prototype concepts that connect perception cognition and movement into a single real-world environment. Once you have a robotics idea you can use all of their resources and build cool stuff. Mobile robots learn factory layouts on their own. Fleets of AGVs navigate autonomously assign tasks dynamically optimize routes and adjust speed in real time. At the core is an ecosystem of industrial AI agents. They dont just"

"Robots working arm in arm in labs π§ͺ I know that nowadays (all the humanoids quadrupeds and fancy mobile manipualtors) such applications no longer generate as much excitement as they used to. However they are still great applications in a very demanding market where they serve as a SUPER VALUABLE tool for people from the first day of installation. From chemical plants to biotech labs much of todays research still depends on manual labor often with staff working long hours around hazardous substances. LabBotics and @FlexivRobotics are working to change that with new lab automation platforms."
