According to @ai_darpa, the widely circulated video is not AI-generated but features the UBTECH Walkers 2 robot, a next-generation humanoid robot developed in China, leaving the factory (source: https://twitter.com/ai_darpa/status/1998704746123628562). This demonstration highlights the rapid advancement of AI-powered robotics in real-world manufacturing environments. UBTECH's Walkers 2 integrates advanced AI algorithms for autonomous navigation and human-like movement, offering significant business opportunities for logistics automation and smart factories. The deployment of such sophisticated robots underscores China's growing influence in AI-driven robotics and signals robust market potential for AI-enabled automation solutions in global industries.

According to @ai_darpa, Tesla is preparing to significantly expand its Optimus AI robot assembly line, with a much larger Generation 3 production facility planned for 2026. The company is targeting a cost of goods sold at $20,000 per robot at scale, positioning Optimus as a competitive solution in AI robotics for manufacturing and automation. This aggressive cost target and scaling plan could disrupt the industrial robotics market by making advanced AI-powered robots more affordable for businesses, opening new opportunities in logistics, warehousing, and factory automation (Source: @ai_darpa, Nov 7, 2025).
