2026 Humanoid Robot Market Report
160 pages of exclusive insight from global robotics experts – uncover funding trends, technology challenges, leading manufacturers, supply chain shifts, and surveys and forecasts on future humanoid applications.
At the core is our Hyper-VLA (Vision-Language-Action) end-to-end multimodal model. AD-01 understands natural language, perceives changing scenes in real time and autonomously generates appropriate actions—targeting ~200 ms end-to-end latency.
Each 11-DOF dexterous hand is engineered for precision and strength, from delicate assembly to robust material handling. Comprehensive force-torque feedback gives AD-01 human-like adaptability when grasping and manipulating diverse objects.
