    How did REEMAN deploy a 300kg AMR at a Dongguan garment factory in half a day?

    REEMAN completed on-site deployment of the Fly Boat factory delivery robot (AMR) at a large garment factory in Dongguan in about half a day, and configured multiple pickup and drop-off points. The robot has a rated payload of 300kg and actually carries about 200–250kg per trip (including a custom rack of about 80kg). It lifts the rack with a 10cm autonomous lift, navigates via laser SLAM, travels about 150m per loaded trip, and performs 70–90 tasks per day on average. Workers trigger deliveries via a physical one-button call button. Reference price is about USD 5,780, depending on configuration.

    What Is an AMR Forklift? Navigation, Flexibility, and Factory Fit

    AMR forklifts rely on onboard LiDAR and laser SLAM for mapping and localization, enabling autonomous path planning and obstacle avoidance without ground infrastructure such as magnetic tape, guide wires, or reflectors; route changes are usually made via software. The REEMAN Ironhide 3.0 is a 1.5-ton autonomous forklift with ±5 cm pick-and-place accuracy on 1.2 × 1.2 m pallets, 6 hours of runtime at full load and 8 hours empty, and a maximum mapping area of 40,000 m².

    How does the REEMAN X-ant autonomous forklift complete 140 transport cycles per day at a Shanghai auto parts factory?

    The REEMAN X-ant autonomous forklift at a large auto parts factory in Shanghai achieves about 125–140 pallet transport cycles per day, carrying 800–1,000 kg per trip over a full cycle of about 100 meters. The narrowest point of the plant's transport route is only 1.55 meters, and the pickup and drop-off area offers about 2.8 meters of operating space. With a one-button call, the forklift automatically picks up goods, transports them under load, drops them off, and returns to its charging station to stand by. The X-ant JBOT20F is 695 mm wide, has a turning radius of 1,448 mm, and a rated load of 2,000 kg.

    Beijing Humanoid releases Hi-WBC general whole-body control model on "Huisikaiwu" platform

    Beijing Humanoid released the Hi-WBC general whole-body control model on the "Huisikaiwu" platform on November 2. The model combines human motion references with real physical constraints, enabling robots to adjust how they execute tasks as payload, external forces, and terrain change. It uses a continual skill expansion framework based on MoE and policy distillation, Contact-aware Learning that incorporates contact force prediction, and Perceptive Control that introduces terrain awareness.

    Why it matters: The original text discloses Hi-WBC's technical approach to handling payload, external force, and terrain constraints beyond motion tracking, offering insight into how whole-body control is moving from demonstrations toward real work.

    REEMAN Ironhide autonomous forklift completes wrapper and elevator integration at Shanghai chemical shipping warehouse

    REEMAN has published a deployment case at a chemical shipping company in Shanghai, where the Ironhide autonomous forklift links pallet pickup, automatic stretch wrapping, elevator floor transfer, and indoor and outdoor delivery, covering about 600 kg per trip, about 650 meters round trip, about 12 minutes per cycle, and about 50 cycles per day. The forklift exchanges station-ready and wrapping-complete status with the wrapper through an industrial interface, and coordinates requests, entry, and exit with the building elevator control system. During commissioning, the team adjusted drive-wheel downforce to resolve ramp slipping, and worked with the wrapper manufacturer to correct the pallet handover process.

    How does the REEMAN YIMA delivery robot use elevators in apartment buildings? YBOT20P explained

    The REEMAN YIMA YBOT20P outdoor delivery robot can automatically call an elevator, enter it, and deliver across floors through a compatible elevator control interface, without anyone needing to press the elevator buttons. The platform is designed for indoor and outdoor transport, has a payload of 100 kg, uses dual-lidar SLAM navigation, autonomous obstacle avoidance, and automatic charging, and can connect the delivery process from a community parcel station to a designated apartment entrance. Elevator integration requires confirming compatibility with the manufacturer's API, control module, or building system interface, and the elevator's existing safety controls must not be bypassed.

    CMU proposes Wiggle and Go: estimating physical properties of ropes by wiggling to plan manipulation

    A team at CMU's Robotics Institute has proposed the Wiggle and Go system, in which a robot first briefly wiggles a rope or cable while an overhead camera records how the waves propagate; a computer vision algorithm then tracks the motion and estimates the object's physical properties, which are used to plan subsequent actions without repeated trial and error. The model is trained entirely in simulation, and properties are then estimated from the motion of real ropes being wiggled to improve prediction accuracy on real hardware. The research has been accepted to the 2026 Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) and will be presented next month in Austin; it is partly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

    Why it matters: The method estimates a rope's physical properties from a single wiggle and then plans actions accordingly, offering a transferable approach to deformable object manipulation.

    Seerbotics demonstrates VLA model completing Tower of Hanoi task: still able to continue solving after base is pushed and discs are scrambled

    Seerbotics demonstrated its self-developed VLA model driving a robotic arm to complete the seven-move sequence of a three-disc Tower of Hanoi. When an observer slides the base to change its overall position or rearranges the discs into an arbitrary intermediate state, the robotic arm can still re-identify the current configuration, determine the next move, and continue completing the remaining task. Trained on only 60 demonstration trajectories, the model can generalize across changes in object position, color, and shape. The Seerbotics robot "brain" consists of three layers—model, cerebellum, and nerve—responsible respectively for scene understanding and decision-making, motion planning and execution, and a unified interface connecting sensors and joint actuators.
