    Humanoid patrol robots deployed in Jiangsu residential communities: about 200 kWh of electricity per month, covering the basic patrol workload of 5 security guards

    Humanoid patrol robots are already on duty in property-managed compounds in multiple parts of Jiangsu. They use a humanoid upper body on a wheeled chassis and carry AI vision, environmental perception, and voice interaction systems. They can patrol autonomously along preset routes and perform verification of outside visitors, abnormal-behavior recognition, fire-hazard monitoring, and remote voice warnings.

    National Standard for Commercial Intelligent Cooking Machines Takes Effect, Stir-Fry Robots Enter Standardized Phase

    On November 2, the national standard for Commercial Intelligent Cooking Machines (GB/T 46718—2025) officially took effect, setting a unified technical framework for commercial cooking robots. JD's 7FRESH Xiaochu has deployed robotic kitchens in stores in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and other locations, with one person overseeing one machine, and a home-style dish ready in four to five minutes; the setup has also extended to corporate canteens and mobile food truck scenarios. In 2025, China's stir-fry robot market was valued at 3.7-3.8 billion yuan, and multiple institutions predict it will exceed 12 billion yuan by 2030.

    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.

    IDTechEx report: Which battery technology will power the next generation of humanoid robots?

    A new IDTechEx report, "Batteries for Humanoid Robots 2027-2037," predicts that demand for humanoid robot batteries will reach 10.5 GWh by 2037. Currently, NMC-based lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used in humanoid robots, as they balance high energy density, fast charging, and cycle life; the report also evaluates solid-state batteries (about 400-500+ Wh/kg, with mass production expected in the late 2020s) and lithium-sulfur batteries (commercialization expected in the early 2030s) as future options.

    Agibot Proposes Worken as a Measure of Effective Intelligent Work Hours: From Horsepower and Kilowatt-Hours to Tokens, Humanoid Robots Gain a New Ruler

    At its A.I.DAY event on October 29, Agibot proposed Worken (effective intelligent work hours) as a unit of measurement. The formula is the number of active robots × autonomous working duration × output efficiency ratio. It counts only robots that are online, able to execute tasks, and meet standards; it excludes teleoperation and charging/battery-swap periods from continuous autonomous working time; and it uses the qualified output of a standard worker per unit time as one equivalent.

    Robot Vacuum Earnings Diverge: Roborock Net Profit Jumps 40%, Ecovacs Revenue Up but Profit Down

    In the first three quarters of 2026, Roborock's revenue was 15.699 billion yuan and net profit was 1.466 billion yuan, up 41.23% year on year, with overseas revenue rising to 60% of the total; Ecovacs' revenue was 14.987 billion yuan and net profit was 1.368 billion yuan, down 3.47% year on year, mainly because higher memory chip procurement prices squeezed gross margins. Global robot vacuum shipments in the second quarter were 7.885 million units, up 22% year on year; Dreame rose to second place with a 21.2% shipment share, while Ecovacs fell to third with 16.2%.

    Report: Robot company under home appliance giant lays off nearly 100, team shrinks from nearly 100 to just over 10

    An independent robot subsidiary under a home appliance giant, which completed a brand rename in June this year, is reported to have undergone large-scale personnel adjustments. The team shrank from nearly 100 people in June-July to just over 10 employees keeping operations running, and the company gave affected employees corresponding compensation in accordance with regulations. The parent company had high hopes that the subsidiary would drive its transition from home appliance manufacturing to an intelligent equipment service provider, but prototypes and trade show buzz failed to translate into stable orders, and after commercialization fell short of expectations, it chose to pull back.

    Investors hold off on embodied AI: valuation correction amid halved financing, discounted secondary shares, and Hong Kong IPO breakouts

    Primary-market investors are collectively pausing embodied AI projects. IT Juzi data shows 33 financing deals worth 10.105 billion yuan in October 2026, down more than two-thirds from the June peak of 55 deals and 30.892 billion yuan. Secondary-share transfer quotes generally range from 65% to 80% of the previous round's valuation, and 8 of the 13 robotics-related companies that listed in Hong Kong in 2026 broke issue price. The article argues that capital is not exiting the direction of physical-world intelligence, but rather the valuations and delivery pace that demo capabilities cannot support.

    Why embodied AI funding suddenly got harder: after 322 deals worth nearly 93.5 billion yuan in H1, September funding fell 40% month-on-month

    After embodied AI funding reached 322 deals worth nearly 93.5 billion yuan in the first half of 2025, September funding fell 40% from August, and the first half of October totaled only 4.9 billion yuan. The article analyzes the cooling from three angles: technology, orders, and valuation. In the first half, 218 publicly disclosed winning bids totaled about 1.7 billion yuan, of which industrial orders accounted for only 20% and were mostly prototype testing. After Unitree's listing, its share price fell from 1,100 yuan to 404 yuan, and more than 20 robotics companies collapsed within 19 months. The author argues that capital has not left but has shifted toward early-stage rounds and up and down the industry chain, with more emphasis on real delivery and orders.
