Google DeepMind trains Apollo humanoid using Gemini 4 Argon
Google DeepMind reported a demonstration in which Gemini 4 Argon analyzed video of a cornhole throw, generated simulation code and transferred the resulting behavior to Apptronik's Apollo humanoid. According to the company, Apollo made seven consecutive successful throws. The report also describes the model's embodied reasoning benchmark result.
IEEE Humanoids 2026 conference will focus on factory labor
The IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots has closed submissions for its 25th edition. The event will take place December 6-9 in Santa Clara. The topic is “Humanoid Robots and the Future of Work,” reports Tech Times. This choice is not an accident. For many years the conference focused on walking, balance, manipulation and control of the whole body.
Humanoid AI puts HMND 01 on wheels for industry
Humanoid AI has focused almost 90% of its engineering efforts on the wheeled humanoid HMND 01, although the British company also has a bipedal prototype. Forbes visited the London office and spoke with Chief Product Officer Sotirios Stasinopoulos. The choice of wheeled platform is pragmatic.

Forbes has compiled a map of 18 companies creating humanoid robots
Forbes interviewed experts and named 18 companies that are now setting the pace in the race for humanoid robots. The list includes startups like Agility Robotics and Apptronik, aimed at factories, and giants like Tesla, BYD, Samsung and Toyota. The main thing in this collection is not a single leader.
US accelerates humanoid robot supply chains as dependence on China faces scrutiny
American developers of humanoid robots, including 1X and Figure AI, are trying to reduce dependence on Chinese supplies. They are transferring more and more production stages to their own factories, writes Forbes. The report challenges the position of the New York Times, which argued that assembling a humanoid without China was "nearly impossible." Forbes objects: several American companies are taking a different route - they are not trying to duplicate Chinese suppliers one-to-one.
About
Apptronik develops the Apollo humanoid platform for material handling, kitting, equipment tending and other industrial tasks. The current Apollo 2 has a modular design: its bipedal configuration targets spaces built for people, while a wheeled base serves structured work areas. The platform separates three layers: Apollo 2 hardware, Artemis for perception, planning and motion control, and Fleet Connect for fleet monitoring and task orchestration. A chest display shows robot status, battery information and task progress.
