Evan Ackerman's Video Friday roundup leads with a Robotics and AI Institute demonstration of Spot's whole-body manipulation, noting that direct torso involvement is hard to discern. It also collects videos of ETH Zurich humanoid locomotion research, Reachy Mini racing Microduck, monkeyBot 2.0 pipe climbing, ANYmal X, a LimX Dynamics tennis robot, DEEPRobotics machines, MonoRace drone racing, and the amphibious SAWbot; no funding is discussed.
Unitree reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of 665 million yuan, up 69.93%, while net profit fell 17.37% and R&D spending rose 249.58%. AgiBot launched the AGIBOT G2 Max, PIA Automation completed a 1.025 billion yuan STAR Market placement, and CASBOT and MoSense closed new funding rounds. XPeng received citywide Guangzhou Level 4 robotaxi demonstration approval, while Xiaomi disclosed a 21-degree-of-freedom bionic factory hand with 26 motors and 1,500-point tactile sensing.
Noetix Robotics, the Beijing-based humanoid robot maker backed by CATL, has filed confidentially for a Hong Kong IPO that could raise several hundred million dollars as soon as next year. The company, formally known as Songyan Power Beijing Technology Co., raised 1 billion yuan ($150 million) in March from a CATL-affiliated industrial investment platform. The filing comes as several Chinese robotics firms line up for Hong Kong listings, though recent market reaction to Unitree's August Shanghai IPO has tempered enthusiasm for the sector.
