Morgan Stanley: China’s humanoid robot lead will power the next phase of global manufacturing dominance.
Same playbook as EVs.

10,000+ units shipped in 2025. Manufacturing share growing to 16.5% by 2030.

The hardware race is China’s. The data race is still wide open.

Robots learning tennis = more important than it looks

LATENT trains humanoids using small fragments of human movement instead of massive programmed motion libraries.

Tested on the Unitree G1 — enabling rallies with real humans.

This is adaptive robotics in action.

RobotPlusPlus built a humanoid that locks onto steel walls magnetically and works vertically welding, grinding, rust removal, flaw detection, spraying.

Petrochemical plants. Shipyards. Energy sites.
Some jobs shouldn’t require a human hanging off a wall. Now they don’t have to.
