AIhub coffee corner: Are humanoids the future of embodied AI?

AIHub

AIhub coffee corner: Are humanoids the future of embodied AI? This month we ask whether humanoids are the future of robotics. How has the technology evolved recently, and what can we expect in the years to come? Joining the conversation this time are: Joydeep Biswas (University of Texas at Austin), Sanmay Das (Virginia Tech), Rina Dechter (University of California, Irvine), Ioannis Erripis (AIhub), Sabine Hauert (University of Bristol), Ella Scallan (AIhub), and Marija Slavkovik (University of Bergen). There have been huge advancements in humanoid robots over the past couple of years. Today's topic is particularly timely, as RoboCup 2026 recently took place. I thought it would be interesting to start with an overview of recent developments at RoboCup. This all started snowballing a couple of years ago, and we suddenly started to see this huge inflection on the capabilities. New humanoid robots were showing up at RoboCup that didn't fall down as much. Suddenly we were able to deploy robots without humans following them around. I want to highlight that this is not just one key technical innovation, it required the confluence of a wide number of things: much better hardware, significant advances in algorithms, and advances in how we train and learn. Once upon a time, humanoid robots required classical control. However, most modern humanoid robots are using learned controllers for walking.


Kim urges drone dominance as North Korea fires missiles and rockets

The Japan Times

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attends an unmanned aeronautical technology exhibition and weapons demonstration in this photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency on Friday. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for his country to seize "absolute superiority" in drone technology as he attended an exhibition and demonstration of unmanned aeronautical technology, state media KCNA reported on Friday. The firepower demonstration following the exhibition involved tactical suicide attack drones, tactical cruise missiles, multipurpose drones and a battalion of 600 mm multiple rocket launchers, KCNA said. The display highlights Kim's push to modernize North Korea's armed forces by using drones and artificial intelligence as Pyongyang draws lessons from its forces' experience in Russia's war against Ukraine and from other global conflicts. KCNA photographs showed unmanned aerial vehicles bearing the North Korean Air Force's emblem at the exhibition attended by Kim and some of his generals.

AI tool helps stranded protesters find their way home in the Indian capital

Al Jazeera

The young woman, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of further reprisals from the authorities, said she was detained on Sunday as thousands of people congregated in central New Delhi. They were demanding the resignation of India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls, which saw the removal of 133 million people from the voter lists. With no cash and her phone battery drained, the woman spent nearly an hour wandering along a dark road, trying to figure out what to do next. A car pulled up and the driver asked if she needed any help. "I was frightened and completely lost. When those volunteers finally helped me get back safely, it felt like a miracle. I had never imagined that someone I had never met would come forward to help me like that," she told Al Jazeera.
