Meta and Shanghai-based Fourier reportedly built an internal humanoid prototype called Max in three months and started work on Max 2 in September. Max is reported at about 1.5 meters tall and 48 kilograms, using NVIDIA Jetson Thor and interaction-focused features including five-fingered hands, voice and gesture recognition targets, eye contact, and a state-displaying face. Meta says the Fourier collaboration is for internal research and experimentation, with no plans to sell the units and no product launch date identified.
At the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, Chinese companies are showcasing humanoid and quadruped robots for aviation, security, and military operations. AVIC's Fengxing-001 humanoid robot can assist with aircraft maintenance and missile loading, while various firms displayed security robots including a robotic dog with an electromagnetic net launcher for suspect restraint.
The 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing showcased over 2,000 humanoid robot exhibits from more than 300 companies, with Chinese firms demonstrating machines for logistics, manufacturing, and household use. Unitree's IPO was massively oversubscribed, signaling strong investor interest in the sector as companies like Leju, Deep Robotics, and Lumos pursue stock market listings.
