According to The Rundown AI, Figure has placed its Figure 03 humanoid fleet on 24/7 duty, Toyota has hired seven Digit humanoids, a coordinated robot swarm has learned to fight fires, and MIT has equipped soft robots with an onboard control “brain,” alongside other quick robotics updates (as reported by The Rundown AI on X). According to The Rundown AI, these moves signal accelerating commercial deployment of humanoids into continuous operations, early enterprise adoption in automotive manufacturing, advancement of multi-robot emergency response, and smarter soft robotics via embedded computation—key trends that can cut labor bottlenecks, expand lights-out operations, and open service robotics markets.
