Who makes this content

The lab that made dynamic legged robots mainstream. Atlas moved to an all-electric actuation platform in 2024 and is now being piloted with automotive partners.

Building musculoskeletal androids driven by synthetic muscle and a hydraulic power pack rather than electric motors.

California startup running the first commercial humanoid deployments, including logistics work at BMW Plant Spartanburg.

Tesla Optimus program. Vertically integrated actuators, vision-only perception, and a stated target of a sub-$30k humanoid built at automotive scale.

Chinese robotics company behind the G1 and H1 humanoids and the Go/B2 quadruped line. Ships some of the most aggressive dynamic-motion demos in the industry.

The clearest ROS 2 teaching channel in the field. Escorts you from simulation through to a real mobile robot with ros2_control.

High-volume robotics and EV news channel that covers humanoid demos and explains the algorithms behind them.

Small-scale builder publishing open actuator designs: ball-screw joints, ODrive controllers and force testing on a bench.

Former toy designer turned maker. A decade of open-source walking robots, from OpenDog to a full DIY humanoid, built in a garage and documented end to end.

Teardown specialists who tear production hardware down to the individual fastener. Their humanoid series dissects actuators, gearboxes and thermal design.

University of Texas at Austin lab working on rehabilitation robotics and the theory behind compliant actuation.

Rigorous actuator engineering with real test data. Broad survey work on brushless joints, harmonic drives and affordable torque control.
