Germany Built a Humanoid Bench, Not a Champion
Europe is not late to humanoids because it lacks a national champion. It is late because factories had nowhere to fail a robot in public. Fraunhofer’s three-site lab is that missing bench.

One Robot Vulnerability Got a Patch. The Other Got an IPO.
Universal Robots patched a critical, unauthenticated remote-code-execution flaw in its PolyScope 5 controller within a normal coordinated-disclosure cycle. A wormable Bluetooth exploit affecting Unitree's G1, H1, Go2, and B2 robots has gone unpatched for over a year, surviving the company's IPO and a return appearance at IFA Berlin.

Nobody Banned JAKA's Robots From Europe. Teradyne's Lawyers Did It Instead.
Teradyne's patent suits against JAKA and Elite Robots aren't really a China-versus-West story.
