The Xialan S0 is a full-size bipedal humanoid robot developed by Digit Robotics (Shenzhen), standing 169cm tall with over 40 degrees of freedom. Built for AI research and embodied intelligence development, it uses high-torque electric servo actuators and harmonic drive systems. It is equipped with perception sensors for real-time visual and motion data processing, and its articulated arms enable complex manipulation and whole-body coordination research.

Figure AI is solving the 'data problem' for humanoid robots by launching Index, a crowdsourced data collection program that pays 'Creators' to wear cameras and record tasks, having already collected 22 million videos from 86,000 weekly active users. The article contrasts Figure's approach with Tesla's advantage of collecting real-world data from millions of FSD-equipped vehicles already on the road, noting Tesla has logged 14.59 billion autonomous miles compared to Waymo's 220.6 million.
The 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing concluded with Tiangong Ultra winning the 100-meter sprint in 8.64 seconds—breaking its own records across five days—while AGIBOT dominated the overall medal table with 46 medals. The event showcased a bifurcation in humanoid robotics between sprint performance and real-world deployment skills, with AGIBOT's wins in dexterous manipulation and scenario-based tasks signaling commercial viability for deployed robots.
DIGIT Robotics has closed a 100-million-yuan (approximately $13.9 million) Pre-A strategic financing round led by industrial investors, with existing shareholder Cowin Capital increasing its stake. The funding will support mass production of the company's bionic humanoid robot series and development of the RoboEase scenario brain platform. Founded in March 2024, the company showcased its latest Xialan R03 robot at WAIC 2026 featuring over 40 facial degrees of freedom and advanced expression capabilities.
