- First CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition qualifier kicks off, legged robots challenge 3.8 km of stone steps in the rain
On October 26, the qualifier of the first CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition started on the trail from Tai Shan's Red Gate to the Mid-Heaven Gate, with multiple domestic teams fielding legged and wheel-legged hybrid robots. The course runs about 3.8 km and includes more than 3,100 steps. Rain fell during the competition, and the slippery stone steps tested the robots' balance control, perception and decision-making, and endurance. The event also features a legged-robot load-carrying race and an all-terrain mobility pathfinding challenge. Zhishen Technology's "Tongchui M1" has a maximum payload of 30 kg and can clear obstacles 80 cm high; Dongtai Technology's robot finished the speed race in about 58 minutes with roughly 80% battery remaining.

- AgiBot releases embodied Agent framework Genie Master; Genie G2 works and evolves in a convenience store
AgiBot has released its embodied Agent framework Genie Master. A Genie G2 running the framework, when deployed in a real convenience store, does not rely on human demonstrations or debugging; it can identify the causes of failures on its own, adjust strategies, and accumulate experience, improving continuously on tasks such as packaged-food packing, picking, and restocking. AgiBot says this is the industry's first validation of Physical RSI (embodied recursive self-improvement) outside simulation in a real business scenario, and it plans to arrange 6 Genie G2 units on November 2 for a continuous 24-hour livestreamed convenience-store operation test.

- Tsinghua Professor Deng Zhidong: Physical AI Has Not Yet Had Its ChatGPT Moment; World Models Are Key
Tsinghua University professor Deng Zhidong believes physical AI as a whole is still in an early exploratory stage and has not yet had its own ChatGPT moment; robots being able to run and dance does not mean they can enter homes to care for the elderly. He proposes that the key to a breakthrough lies in world models: letting AI rehearse consequences and costs before executing actions, combined with tasks and human intent, with evaluation criteria being generality, task success rate, and generalization ability. He also suggests connecting cloud, edge, and devices through mobile communications and deploying shared computing power at the edge to ease cost and power consumption pressures on device-side computing.

- In conversation with Zhipu, Galbot, Guanglun Intelligence, and Deepexi: Will large language models eventually eat embodied models?
At the "Qinghe Night Talk" roundtable, Zhipu CEO Zhang Peng, Galbot CFO Sun Dengke, Guanglun Intelligence's Yang Haibo, and Deepexi Technology's Zhao Jiehui discussed whether large language models will eat embodied models. Sun Dengke drew an analogy to fast and slow systems, arguing that embodied models handle S1/S0-level manipulation, planning, and environmental understanding, and may require a smaller S2 parameter scale than language models; Zhang Peng argued that intelligence will ultimately converge. Guanglun Intelligence positions itself as simulation-based physical AI data and evaluation infrastructure, while Deepexi Technology has launched DeepWorks, which can be tried for free.

- Robocensus launches directory of 74 walking robots, opens CC BY dataset
Nick created the Robocensus directory, cataloging 74 walking robots across humanoid, quadruped, and biped types, recording specs, prices, and availability status, and releasing machine-readable JSON data under a CC BY license. The directory annotates context for each spec, such as distinguishing walking, running, and rolling for speed, marking interval values as maximum or minimum, and attaching date and currency to prices; fields not disclosed by manufacturers are left blank rather than estimated. Updates are handled by a scheduled agent that scrapes each robot's official page, compares snapshots, and submits pull requests, which go live only after author review and merging.

- University of Bristol uses ordinary electric motors to replicate muscle coordination, potentially improving robots
A University of Bristol team built a tabletop physical model simulating muscle contraction using a row of ordinary electric motors coupled to each other through a shared mechanical skeleton, with results published in the Royal Society journal Interface. In the experiments, the motors made intermittent contact with the skeleton to transmit force, and without direct communication, muscle-like behaviors spontaneously emerged, including a load-velocity relationship, more units participating as load increased, and coordination waves. The researchers believe this approach, in which coordination is handled by the structure itself, could help improve how robots are actuated.

- How to Choose Capacitors for Robot Joint Motors: Yongming LKZ Liquid Aluminum Capacitor Solution for Space-Constrained, High Instantaneous Current Conditions
To address the selection challenges of space constraints and high instantaneous current in robot joint motor controllers, the Yongming LKZ series liquid aluminum electrolytic capacitors use a single high-capacitance unit to reduce the number of parallel connections. Taking LKZ 100V 150μF 8×25 as an example, a single unit provides 150μF, typical ripple 900mA, and ESR of about 0.20Ω; an example configuration of 4 in parallel reaches 600μF, which can reduce layout pressure. The solution also offers vibration resistance, wide temperature range, and low ESR; whether it applies must be verified against the BOM, operating conditions, and full-machine testing, and the manufacturer offers free samples and Demo board testing.
