Neoclone is the next-generation humanoid android being developed by Clone Robotics, building on their Clone Alpha platform. Neoclone features a neutral human-like face and represents the evolution of Clone's biomimetic approach to humanoid robots. The robot uses water-powered artificial muscles (Myofibers), a full skeletal framework with 206 synthetic bones, over 200 degrees of freedom, 1,000+ Myofibers, and 500+ sensors. Future plans include development of tactile skin for delicate, sensitive tasks. Clone Robotics was founded in 2021 and is based in Poland and the United States.

University of Tokyo researchers combine flexible printed structures with motor-driven wires to demonstrate supported stepping, offering a different take on bio-inspired robotics from Clone.
Stockholm-based startup 120ft has emerged from stealth with €576,000 in angel funding from 22 investors to build microfactories composed of three 40-foot shipping containers—one each for component preparation, assembly, and inspection/packing. The company plans to operate humanoid robots (whose website imagery suggests Unitree G1 units) to offer small-batch assembly starting at 100 units, letting brands pay per finished product. 120ft's 'Factory OS' software coordinates AI models and automation, with the company claiming its skill-programming time dropped from seven weeks in 2025 to seven hours in 2026, targeting seven minutes in 2027.
Microagi claims to have reached a $100 million annualized revenue run rate within six months of launching Shift, its platform for collecting human activity data for robot training. CEO Bercan Kilic announced the milestone on October 9, while newly appointed chief research officer Animesh Garg reiterated the company's ambition to deploy one million robots. The article notes the figure is an annualized run rate, not audited revenue, and has not been independently verified.
