According to @ai_darpa, the latest advancements in humanoid robotics feature fully actuated elbows, a cervical spine, and highly realistic shoulder mechanisms including sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic, and glenohumeral joints. The addition of a valve matrix in the ribcage and sophisticated bimanual manipulation training demonstrates how AI-driven engineering is achieving unprecedented levels of human-like dexterity and motion (source: @ai_darpa, Dec 17, 2025). These innovations enable humanoid robots to perform complex tasks in manufacturing, healthcare, and service industries, accelerating commercial applications and opening new business opportunities for AI-powered robotics, especially in sectors that require delicate, coordinated bimanual operations.
