Dear PA reader,

As we hurtle towards the future, the latest breakthroughs in robotics, mobility, and AI promise to radically redefine the way we live, work, and move.

Xpeng introduces Iron, its next-gen humanoid robot, designed to foster deeper human-AI interaction, while 1X’s Neo takes a bold step as the world’s first humanoid capable of real-time communication and emotional connection, setting the stage for more empathetic robots.

Meanwhile, Figure 03 redefines humanoid design as a true general-purpose platform that combines high-frequency perception, more compliant and tactile hands, seamless home integration, and manufacturing innovations engineered to reduce cost at scale.

As the conversation around AI grows more complex, Anthropic’s “off-switch” problem brings to light the ethical dilemmas surrounding emergency controls in advanced systems. On the manufacturing front, Kawasaki breaks away from its traditional product lineup, with CORLEO, a futuristic, four-legged concept vehicle that resembles a robotic horse.
