Several firms including Tesla are vying to build humanoid robots. But widespread adoption faces hurdles including safety concerns and regulatory challenges

A Chinese EV company has created a humanoid robot so eerily lifelike engineers were forced to cut it open to prove it was, in fact, a robot.

Humanoid robot training is booming around the world. Tech companies are rushing to build the robots for a market projected to reach $38 billion within the next decade.

Massachusetts robotics entrepreneurs focus on specialized machines, while West Coast companies pour billions into humanoid development despite current limitations demonstrated at MIT.

Now, researchers at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) have trained a Unitree G1 robot to pull a 1,400-kilogram car along a flat surface. The robot itself weighs just 35 kilograms and stands at 132 centimeters, so the feat does look rather remarkable. You can watch it in the clip below:

The home-robot revolution has arrived with the launch of NEO by 1X Technologies, a humanoid companion capable of folding laundry, organizing shelves and conversing with you as it learns your routines.

Unitree just dropped its latest creation, the R1 humanoid robot, and people are talking. At only $5,900, it's the most affordable bipedal robot we've seen so far. The low price has taken the tech world by surprise and kicked off a wave of excitement.
