Less than two months after its listing, Unitree Technology's share price fell from a high of 1,237 yuan to around 420 yuan, wiping out more than 270 billion yuan in market value, with a maximum drawdown of nearly 70%. Founder Wang Xingxing said on October 12 at the Shanghai International Industry Fair that his biggest mistake over the past decade-plus was not believing in AI enough, and gave a forecast that the robotics era could reach an inflection point in as soon as one to two years. Unitree is building a physical AI self-evolution system. The stock closed up 3.64% the day after his remarks.

Dyna Robotics reviews 10 months of production deployment, discusses robotics bubble and three paths
Based on a review of nearly 10 months of real customer deployments, Dyna Robotics believes the timeline for converting robotics capabilities into commercial value is longer than current funding assumptions suggest, and that much of the market is a bubble. The article presents three judgments: hardware is not the same as a channel, pretraining data scale is not the same as downstream capability, and building deployment systems is underestimated. It says Dyna-1, released in April 2025, ran autonomously for more than 24 hours on tasks such as napkin folding with a success rate above 99%, but deployments did not self-accelerate, and no one in the industry has yet validated at scale that a second deployment is faster than the first.

Interview with Tashi Intelligence's Chen Yilun: No VLA, no simulation—an embodied AI company's contrarian bets
Linear Capital reposted LatePost's interview with Tashi Intelligence founder Chen Yilun, who laid out a technical path that differs from the mainstream: he rejects the VLA architecture that grows an action head on top of a VLM, and instead develops its own AWE (AI World Engine), aiming to represent physical quantities such as time, space, and force; it has also abandoned teleoperation data collection in favor of a self-developed collection device combining a wearable glove and a first-person-view camera.
