- The stronger Astra gets, the more one question matters: Is a Chinese robot's "body" an asset or a peripheral?
SenseTime's Astra reaches 100% on LIBERO-Long++ and 81.9% on RoboDojo; the stronger the general-purpose brain, the more easily a robot body that conforms to standard interfaces can be swapped out as a "peripheral." Using Unitree's real-machine data flywheel, Zhiyuan's 3/4 R&D investment in the large and small brains, and Galaxy General's AstraBrain-WBC 0.5 trained on 2 billion frames of motion-capture data (92.58% zero-shot motion-tracking success rate, 0.39 ms inference latency) as examples, the article proposes three criteria: depth of in-house development at the execution layer, data return rate, and scenario replacement cost.

- Humanoid Robots Accelerate Into Factories Across China: What Else Must They Learn to Do the Work?
Shanghai has proposed deploying 8,000 humanoid robots into factories by 2028, while Jiangsu, Shenzhen and other regions are also advancing real-scenario training and production-line deployment; companies including SAIC and CATL have disclosed application progress. Most deployed cases are concentrated in decomposable processes such as cell grabbing and loading, test loading and unloading, and material handling and sorting. For example, AgiBot's "Nengzai No. 1" works at about one unit every 2 seconds on Buick's battery mass-production line, and Galbot S1 has entered CATL's production line to handle material handling and sorting. The article notes that entering factories still requires passing hurdles in stability, battery life and cost accounting, and cross-factory replication also requires reducing technology adaptation and system integration costs.

- From KAIST robot beetles to Harvard robot bees: the practical value of biomimetic robotic animals
KAIST and other institutions are developing biomimetic robotic animals such as robot beetles and robot ants to solve practical problems including rescue and detection. A cyborg cockroach at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore carries a microcomputer, gas sensors, and an infrared thermal camera, and is remote-controlled via electrode pulses; a single roach can survey about 100 square meters of rubble, but a full survey of a building would require about 500 roaches and 500 operators. A robot ant at Stanford University can carry a payload 2,000 times its own mass, grips using a gecko-inspired foot design, and requires wired power in industrial settings due to its high energy consumption.
