According to AI News on X, Figure AI plans to deploy humanoid robots in factories in 2026 and is targeting home assistance plus high-speed manipulation and surgical-grade hardware in future iterations, while Unitree’s G1 demonstrates coordinated swarm acrobatics and wall-climbing, and NVIDIA’s DreamDojo leverages over 44,000 hours of human video to advance robotics simulation and training (source: AI News; linked video: YouTube). As reported by AI News, these advances indicate near-term commercialization in industrial automation (Figure AI), maturing locomotion and coordination for logistics and inspection (Unitree G1), and a data-at-scale training pipeline for embodied AI policies (NVIDIA DreamDojo). According to the AI News summary, business opportunities include factory cobotics deployment, service robotics for home care, and foundation-model style pretraining for robot learning with large video corpora.
