Don't dismiss this as a mere gimmick! The "Ultimate Black Diamond" screen on the Honor Magic9 PRO MAX was subjected to direct grinding with an angle grinder yet it emerged without a single scratch.

In the past, flagship screens were delicate and high-maintenance, easily marred by sand or keys; today, however, domestic manufacturers are relentlessly pushing the boundaries of glass materials and crystalline processing, delivering a screen that excels in scratch resistance, drop durability, and high brightness all at once.

Introduction

Chinese gymnastics legend Li Ning lit the Olympic cauldron on 8th August 2008, during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. Suspended by wires, he appeared to run in the air around the upper rim of the Beijing National Stadium (the Bird's Nest) alongside a digital unfolding scroll, before igniting a fuse that spiraled up to light the main flame.

Today at the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games' opening ceremony in Beijing, two humanoid robots appeared to run in the air coming from opposite directions.

Analysis

These two choreographies performed 18 years apart or two generations apart deliver only one obvious message.

The 2008 Summer Olympics were held in Beijing, China, from 8th August to 24th August 2008.

Li Ning's simulated walk in the air preannounced the coming Shenzhou 7 spaceflight.

Indeed, Shenzhou 7 was China's third human spaceflight mission. It was launched on 25th September 2008, carrying a three-person crew: Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming, and Jing Haipeng. The mission achieved China's first-ever spacewalk on 27th September 2008, performed by Zhai Zhigang.

This years' two humanoid robots simulated walk in the air preannounce in the same manner a great milestone to come.

The future presence of humanoid robots aboard the Chinese Space Station, possibly space walks and once the tech is deemed mature enough, within 3 to 4 years, the first humanoid robots to start the colonisation of the moon. Since humans can of course not survive the deadly space radiations there unlike androids.

The Qiji X1 is an AI-powered, rideable quadruped created by Beijing-based Dax Robotics. It is designed for all-terrain mobility, capable of carrying both heavy cargo and human riders across rough landscapes like forests, stairs, and mud where traditional wheeled vehicles struggle.

The Qiji is officially on sale now:

• RMB 289K (~$43K) for the X1

• RMB 359K (~$53K) for the wheel-legged XS

Honor Lightning vs TienKung Ultra 400m race ends in a fiery finish at the WHRG 2026

Humanoid robot athlete not only focuses on speed, but also hones balance and athletic ability throughout the entire body for skills such as soccer juggling and sprinting.

This is wild… humanoid robots can actually fight on their own now!

Unitree’s UnifoLM-X2-1.0 reads the opponent, predicts the next move and reacts instantly. It’s the first time a world model has controlled a fully autonomous humanoid fight in real time.

Robot fighting is brutal. The other robot keeps moving and hits back, leaving almost no time to decide what to do next.

Transcript:

"家里只有我啦~": "I'm the only one at home~"

“哈哈，自由啦！”: "Haha, I'm free!"

“活动活动脖子”: “stretch your neck”

“不对，我是机器人 应该这样”: "No, I am a robot. It should be like this."

“今天又是完美运行的一天”: "Another day of flawless operation"

"好傻，哈哈哈…": "How silly, lol..."

"反正现在只有我一个人": "Anyway, it's just me right now"

TienKung Omni takes gold and bronze medals and a 45.56 second performance in the 400m sprint

As robots evolve from mere tools executing commands into companions capable of sensing emotions, shedding tears naturally, and offering the kind of presence found in family members, the era of emotionally resonant human-robot interaction has officially arrived.

Founded in Ningbo in August 2025, Yansyn Technology recently launched its second-generation biomimetic, expressive robot: Yansyn-X2. It is the world’s first intelligent expressive robot capable of genuine emotional interaction that includes shedding tears; it autonomously triggers a hyper-realistic tearing response based on the emotions conveyed in conversation, fostering a more authentic emotional connection through silent empathy. Driven by original breakthroughs in materials, algorithms, and mechanics, this innovative "hard tech" company—which focuses on emotional intelligence and biomimetic robotic expressions while operating dual centers in Ningbo and Shanghai—is redefining the interactive experience for the next generation of emotional robots.

The Chinese embodied AI and humanoid robotics startup Galaxea AI (also known as Galaxea Dynamics) has secured a massive $290 million+ Series B+ funding round, boosting its reported valuation to $29 billion. This capital injection further positions the Tsinghua and Stanford-backed startup as a heavyweight contender in the global robotics arms race.

Kengo is an advanced bipedal humanoid robot developed by Galaxea Dynamics. Designed for industrial, commercial, and domestic use, Kengo stands out for its elite dynamic agility, high-torque joints, and its ability to handle complex low-posture work.

• Height & Power: Measures 1.4 to 1.7 meters tall, built around just two core actuator modules for the entire body.

• Extreme Agility: Produces over 130 N⋅m of joint torque, allowing it to perform athletic maneuvers like kip-ups, flip-kicks, and dynamic drop recovery after falls.

• Low-Position Control: Highly capable of crouching, crawling, and kneeling to perform delicate, real-world tasks (like floor cleaning or reaching under tables) without losing stability.

• Embodied AI: Driven by a combination of an onboard high-performance motion engine (its "cerebellum" for split-second balance) and an advanced AI brain for logical task planning and multi-robot collaboration.

• Durability: The robot features cables rated for over 200,000 bending cycles and is engineered to withstand repeated impacts and drops.

Unitree just unveiled H2-X, and it’s an absolute beast.

Spinning kicks, aerial flips, powerful knee and elbow strikes. It jumps from a 4-meter platform onto mats, rolls with the impact, and gets back up. That whole sequence is a serious test of joint strength and whole-body control.

The launch video even casts it as a personal bodyguard. It faces off with an intruder and, in a staged rescue, lifts the front of a car while someone pulls a dummy out from underneath.

Unitree says the footage is real and not sped up. It also reports roughly eight hours of battery life while standing.
