Another big week of AI and Robotics news From next-gen humanoids to groundbreaking AI models, here’s a quick rundown of the latest developments in robotics and artificial intelligence: 1. Booster Robotics’ T1 Takes a Beating China’s Booster Robotics showed off the durability of its 4ft-tall T1 humanoid, which withstood hammer, bottle, and stick blows without missing a step. Built with high-strength metal and plastic, T1 is designed for impact resilience. 2. Adobe’s Firefly Video Model Enters Beta ($9.99/mo) Now in public beta, Adobe’s AI can generate 1080p videos from text or images, featuring camera control, shot framing, and motion graphics. Trained on licensed content, it’s a direct competitor to other AI video tools. 3. OpenAI Teases GPT-4.5 & GPT-5 GPT-4.5 will be OpenAI’s last non-CoT model before merging all offerings (including o3) into an all-in-one GPT-5, which will feature tiered intelligence levels for different use cases. 4. Figure Begins Shipping Figure-02 Humanoids Figure has officially started delivering its humanoid robots to a second commercial customer. Powered by a single neural network, these bots specialize in object manipulation for real-world tasks. 5. ByteDance Unveils Goku & Goku+ AI ByteDance introduced its advanced AI models for image and video generation. Goku focuses on high-quality visuals, while Goku+ is designed for marketing, transforming product photos into ad-ready videos. 6. Google Adds Infinite Memory to Gemini Gemini Advanced now remembers past interactions and allows users to edit or delete chat history. OpenAI is working on a similar feature, but no release date yet. 7. Perplexity Launches Deep Research This free tool (with limits) generates in-depth reports in under 3 minutes, outperforming major AI models on complex reasoning tasks like Humanity’s Last Exam. 8. Apptronik Raises $350M for ‘Apollo’ Humanoid Austin-based Apptronik secured major funding (including from Google) to develop its Apollo humanoid, currently being tested by Mercedes-Benz and others for real-world deployment. 9. HoST Framework Enables Advanced Humanoid Standing Chinese researchers introduced HoST, a reinforcement learning framework helping humanoid robots stand up smoothly in real-world conditions, even under external force. 10. UK’s Humanoid Debuts Industrial Robot HMND 01 Designed for industrial applications, HMND 01 moves at 1.5 m/s, carries 15kg, and runs for 4 hours with 41 degrees of freedom. 11. Mentee Robotics’ MenteeBot v3 Arrives This Israeli startup’s new humanoid features custom actuators, replaceable batteries, 30N pinch force per finger, and a 25kg payload capacity—aimed at industrial work. 12. Unitree’s G1 Learns to Dance China’s Unitree upgraded the G1 humanoid’s algorithm, allowing it to mimic any dance move. A new clip shows the $16K robot grooving in sync with music. AI and robotics are evolving fast—stay tuned for next week’s updates!
