China's robots are already working. The West's are still posing. Filmed at CIIF Shanghai: FAIRINO's FR5 launched at ¥23,800, about a fifth of a UR5e at US dealer prices. Chinese makers now hold 57% of China's robot market. EV déjà vu? #robotics #China #automation

Real kung fu robot, or the best robot ad of the year? AgiBot shipped 5,168 humanoids in 2025 (Omdia). The kicks are real. So is the script. Which part convinced you? #robotics #humanoids #China
A humanoid trading kicks with kung fu stars. Real robot, real jumps, and a scripted movie. What AgiBot's A3 really shows, and what it doesn't. Footage: AGIBOT (official) Breakthrough or best robot ad of the year? @AGIBOTofficial @TheHumanoidHub #robotics #humanoids #China

Tesla just made a Roadster fly. Not CGI — cold gas thrusters from SpaceX tech. 10 nozzles · ~10k PSI · 0–60 ≈ 0.81s · 2028 target · not road-approved. #Tesla #Roadster #robotics

No cab. No driver. Still only a few hundred of them. China's Honghu: maker says 135 70-hp units + 95 T200s built. Deere: driverless tillage on ~100 farms. Monarch claimed 500+, then folded. Who scales? @lukas_m_ziegler @DJIGlobal @FAO #robotics #agtech #China #autonomous

A robot rang the Nasdaq bell. The stocks didn't follow. $BOT is a fund, not a robot maker: down 31% since day one. Unitree down 48%. Geek+ down 63%. We tracked 7 listed robot stocks. All 7 sit below their first-day close (Oct 13 close). #robotics #humanoids #IPO #stocks
