Physical AI: Hardware, Economy, and the Humanoid Race

The article examines the state of physical AI and humanoid robots in 2026, covering hardware challenges (actuators, hands, batteries), economic viability, and real-world deployments in warehouses and factories. It highlights that most commercial applications remain in semi-structured environments, while home robots are still distant due to unstructured environments and safety concerns. China plays a key role with lower-cost robots, exemplified by Unitree and UBTech.

Why humanoids struggle to grasp moving objects: developing VLA for dynamic environments

Modern VLA models work well in static scenes but fail when objects move, like on a conveyor. The main issues are latency, outdated action chunks, and lack of temporal context. Researchers are now developing whole-body dynamic VLA to handle moving objects and maintain balance.
