It’s hard to describe the sound of thousands of robots and researchers sharing the same space – the hum of motors mixing with laughter, sensors blinking like city lights. The International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) has once again become the beating heart of the global robotics community. This year, Humanoid.guide is represented…
Today, we’re launching the Hand Tracker – a living index of “plug‑in” humanoid hands with specs, availability, videos and vendor links. It helps teams pick the right end‑effector fast and compare DOF, actuation, weight, sensing and quick‑change wrists in one place. Why now? Manipulation and dexterity is the gate to real work. Our 2026 Humanoid…
“Hands are the hardest part of the hardest challenge – a game you can never fully complete.” Rob Knight Rob Knight has spent two decades obsessing over robots, humanoids and robot hands. In this wide‑ranging video call with Humanoid.guide he explains why dexterous manipulation is the bottleneck for humanoids, how tendons still beat tiny gearboxes,…
Physical work is roughly half of the world’s economy, and the built world is, as Jensen Huang likes to say, a “brownfield” made for people, not for bespoke machines. That single observation explains why the next general-purpose computer may not sit on a desk. It will walk into a factory, open a door, turn a…

Morgan Stanley’s new “Global Humanoid Model” puts a $4.7 trillion annual revenue target on humanoid-robot hardware by 2050—roughly twice the 2024 sales of the top twenty carmakers. Add software, data and services and the addressable market reaches $5 trillion. The bank also foresees more than one billion humanoids on duty worldwide, creating a labour force…
Technology observers believe that this half-marathon may accelerate innovation in robotics more than any lab trial ever could. Chinese humanoid robots showcased both impressive strength and critical weaknesses: Tiangong Ultra reached a world-leading top speed of around 12 km/h, while smaller robots exposed their struggles with overheating and balance. Described as a “technological stress test”…
