Harper Adams University Tests Humanoid Robots for General Farm Labor
Harper Adams University in Shropshire, England, is researching the use of humanoid robots in agriculture to address persistent seasonal labor shortages. Led by Professor Fernando Auat Cheein, the project argues that general-purpose humanoids, with degrees of freedom matching the human body, can perform multiple tasks like harvesting, planting, and weeding, unlike today's single-task farm robots. The research aims for collaboration with the human workforce, leveraging software economics where a perfected task can be replicated across thousands of robots.
Google DeepMind Launches Gemini Robotics 2 for Whole-Body Humanoid Control
Google DeepMind has launched the Gemini Robotics 2 family, a suite of three foundation models designed to bring whole-body control and advanced reasoning to humanoid robots. The release includes a vision-language-action (VLA) model capable of controlling 22-degree-of-freedom multifingered hands, an embodied reasoning (ER) model for multi-robot coordination, and an on-device variant that adapts to new hardware in hours. Demonstrated on platforms from Apptronik, Franka, and others, the models show significant progress in intricate manipulation tasks, though published benchmarks reveal the persistent difficulty of fine motor skills like screwing in a light bulb. The ER 2 model is now available in public preview via Google AI Studio, signaling a shift toward broader developer access in the robotics foundation model space.
Tesollo Kickstarts IPO: Inside Korea's First Dexterous Hand Public Listing
South Korean dexterous hand manufacturer Tesollo has selected KB Securities as its lead underwriter, kicking off the process for a technology-special KOSDAQ listing targeted for 2027. The move marks Korea's first pure-play dexterous hand public listing attempt. This article examines Tesollo's position within the Korean robotics ecosystem, its chaebol research client base, and how its high-degree-of-freedom technology compares to the volume-driven Chinese component market.
Tesla Optimus V3: Production Ramp and the Hardware Scaling Race
Tesla is aggressively accelerating its Optimus humanoid robot program, transitioning from prototype testing to a massive manufacturing ramp. With the Fremont factory converting Model S and X lines for Optimus production and a dedicated 10 million unit capacity factory rising in Texas, Tesla is betting heavily on its next generation hardware, including the newly taped out AI5 chip and the 22 degree of freedom Gen 3 hands.
Current Robotics' Curr-0: The Single Policy That Lets Humanoid Robots Walk and Work at the Same Time
Current Robotics has released Curr-0, a full-body dexterous manipulation model that uses a Single Policy to unify locomotion, whole body coordination, and dexterous hand control on a 70+ degree of freedom humanoid robot. Trained on 21,000 hours of real human behaviour data, Curr-0 represents a meaningful step toward humanoid robots that can operate continuously in unstructured environments.
Atlas Drops a Pinky to Make a Factory Hand
Boston Dynamics put a 13-joint, four-finger hand on Atlas. Korean business press carried the disclosure on 2 October, a day after the local reveal.

Degrees of Freedom in Robotics: What Robot Axes Mean and Whether More Is Better
Six is not a design choice. A rigid body in three-dimensional space has exactly six degrees of freedom — three positions, three rotations. That is arithmetic, not engineering preference. A seven-axis robot cannot reach anywhere a six-axis robot cannot. It reaches the same places by different routes. Most buyers paying for the seventh axis think they are buying reach.
A Humanoid Was Asked to Change a Light Bulb. NVIDIA's Flagship AI Tied a Robot Doing Nothing At All.
A new open benchmark called Fiatlux puts a Unitree G1 humanoid through climbing a ladder and replacing an overhead light bulb in one continuous episode. NVIDIA's flagship GR00T N1.7 model scored statistically the same as a policy that does nothing, and even expert human teleoperation could not complete the climbing subtasks, pointing to whole-body control, not AI reasoning, as the real bottleneck.
Open Source Is Becoming Robotics' Default Infrastructure
Intrinsic open-sourced its industrial robotics platform and Qualcomm agreed to acquire MoveIt maker PickNik while pledging to keep it open, a one-two punch at ROSCon 2026 that shifts the vendor lock-in math every robotics buyer runs.
China Shipped 23,000 Humanoid Robots. Only 5 Percent Can Hold a Shift.
China shipped roughly 23,000 humanoid robots in the first half of 2026, but only about 5 percent operate stably on real production lines, industry data shows.
How Much Does a Servo Motor and Drive Cost? A 2026 Pricing Guide
Official procurement records show servo motor-and-drive hardware from about US$238 to US$10,431 per pair, while scope and integration can push effective axis costs much higher.
Enovis and Jungheinrich Show Where European Robotics Capital Is Really Going
A €155 million surgical-robotics acquisition by Enovis and a €100 million VC fund from Jungheinrich, announced a day apart, show European industrials choosing to control robotics capability directly rather than wait on outside capital.
