GD01 robot brings manned mecha closer to reality

Unitree Robotics has introduced the GD01, a large pilotable robot that is attracting attention because it looks less like a normal machine and more like something from a futuristic movie. The robot is designed to carry a human operator inside an open cockpit and move using robotic legs instead of wheels. The GD01 is being discussed as one of the latest examples of how fast China’s robotics industry is growing. Unitree, already known for its robot dogs and humanoid machines, is now

Amazon acquires fauna robotics to expand humanoid robot ambitions

Amazon has confirmed its acquisition of Fauna Robotics, a New York-based startup focused on developing approachable humanoid robots for both consumers and businesses, marking a significant expansion of the company’s ambitions in the robotics industry. While financial details of the deal were not disclosed, the move underscores Amazon’s continued investment in automation technology and AI-driven innovation. In a statement, Amazon said it was encouraged by Fauna Robotics’ vision of creating safe, capable, and user-friendly robots. The company highlighted its own expertise in robotics, along with years of experience in consumer trust through retail and smart devices, as a foundation for developing new solutions aimed at improving everyday life. The acquisition aligns with Amazon’s broader strategy to integrate advanced robotics into both personal and commercial environments. Founded in 2024 by former engineers from major technology firms, Fauna Robotics quickly gained attention with the launch of its flagship humanoid robot, Sprout. Priced at $50,000, the compact, bipedal robot was designed to be accessible to developers while maintaining a human-friendly form factor. The company had already secured early interest from major industry players, signaling strong demand for next-generation robotics platforms. As part of the deal, Fauna’s workforce of approximately 50 employees will join Amazon in New York City. Company leadership expressed optimism about the transition, stating that operating under Amazon would accelerate innovation and expand opportunities in the rapidly evolving robotics market. Amazon has spent more than a decade building its robotics capabilities, particularly in warehouse automation. Its earlier acquisition of Kiva Systems laid the groundwork for Amazon Robotics, which has since become central to its logistics operations. More recently, the company has pursued additional acquisitions to enhance its expertise, including firms focused on last-mile delivery solutions. The acquisition of Fauna Robotics also signals Amazon’s renewed interest in consumer-facing robotics, an area it previously explored with its Astro home robot. By entering the increasingly competitive humanoid robot space, Amazon joins a growing list of technology companies developing advanced AI robots aimed at both industrial and personal use.
