Japan’s Tsubame Industries built ARCHAX:a 4.5 m piloted humanoid robot that’s designed for real-world heavy-duty work, not just Gundam cosplay.

Thanks for all the replies. This is the US humanoid map. The San Francisco Bay Area dominates, with a growing cluster in Texas.

Then there is one in Oregon, Detroit, Boston, and New York. I know I definitely missed some. It is just the beginning and many more will emerge. https://t.co/BU3gro7Ktk pic.twitter.com/zX3j9dGFHi
Beijing Phybot launched the PHYBOT M1, a 172 cm, 60 kg humanoid that performs a full backflip using 10 kW bursts of power. It has 32 DoF, dual 9Ah batteries (2 hr runtime), 72 V system, 530 N·m torque, and NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX + Intel i7 with 3D LiDARpic.twitter.com/vAik8hVYJP

China’s robots don’t play games……they’re designed for war
Watch the clips and tell me you’re not scared 👇pic.twitter.com/tA1rTWck3n
First Law: A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.At least they beat Robocop's prime directives.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

The AlphaDog Proto is a lab prototype for the Legged Squad Support System, a robot being developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA and the US Marine Corps. When fully developed the system will carry 400 lbs of payload on 20-mile missions in rough terrain. The first version of the complete robot will be completed in 2012. This video shows early results from the control development process. In this video the robot is powered remotely. AlphaDog is designed to be over 10x quieter than BigDog.
Here is an article about the Raytheon Sarcos robot exoskeleton. The article states that they are just 5 years from production. I posted a blog post about two years ago on their work. So this means that they have come pretty far in terms of progress. Raytheon's second-generation exoskeleton (XOS 2), essentially a wearable robotics suit, was unveiled for the first time recently during an event at the company's Salt Lake City research facility. XOS 2 is lighter, stronger and faster than its predecessor, yet it uses 50 percent less power, and its new design makes it more resistant to the environment.
The wearable robotics suit is being designed to help with the many logistics challenges faced by the military both in and out of theater. Repetitive heavy lifting can lead to injuries, orthopedic injuries in particular. The XOS 2 does the lifting for its operator, reducing both strain and exertion. It also does the work faster. One operator in an exoskeleton suit can do the work of two to three soldiers. Deploying exoskeletons would allow military personnel to be reassigned to more strategic tasks. The suit is built from a combination of structures, sensors, actuators and controllers, and it is powered by high pressure hydraulics.
Representatives from Paramount Home Entertainment, including the actor Clark Gregg (aka Agent Phil Coulson of the Marvel® Movie franchise) were in attendance to capture footage of XOS 2 to include in a video that's being produced to support the release of Iron Man® 2 on DVD and Blu ray.
