On the 6th of last month, local time, at the booth of German robotics company Neura during the European largest electronics show, IFA 2025, in Berlin, Germany, a humanoid robot standing 180 cm tall was positioned in front of a desk.

A video of ALLEX (top) shows a camera- and sensor-laden head, and astonishingly versatile hands with fast-moving fingers and human-like motion. Those rapid, spidery movements may send a shiver down your spine, but it’s an astonishing piece of technology that you can imagine one day being used in precision manufacturing or even prosthetics.

By integrating its depth-sensing AI cameras with Nvidia’s robotics platforms, developers will be able to enhance the perception performance of their robots.

Human-robot interaction suggests there’ll likely be many contexts where robots don’t displace workers but rather make the role of humans even more valuable.

According to reports from Lüliang Rapid Low Altitude Economic Development Co., Ltd., on September 2, the company completed the delivery of the "Tiangong Walker Wujie" humanoid robot at the Taiyuan Digital Business Building.

Elon Musk previously said Optimus will be central to Tesla’s future as it expands from cars to AI and robotics.

NVIDIA (NVDA) recently announced a series of partnerships and product launches that enhance its AI and robotics technology, including the release of the Jetson AGX Thor, which boosts AI computation capabilities.

The robot is also described as a general-purpose humanoid platform with advanced autonomy features intended for embodied AI research, developer integration, and complex, real-world robot applications.
