Humanoid robots just entered a new phase of realism. In Shanghai, DroidUp revealed Moya, the world’s first fully biomimetic embodied intelligent robot, built to move, react, and socially interact in ways that feel human on a subtle level. While Moya focuses on humanlike expressions and presence, Unitree’s G1 proved robots can survive brutal real-world environments by trekking across extreme subzero terrain. Xpeng’s IRON humanoid showed both the promise and limits of public-facing robots after a viral stage fall. At the same time, researchers at Harvard are redesigning robotic joints based on the human knee, and Westwood Robotics is teaching humanoids to work while walking, pushing machines closer to real-world usefulness.
