A grounded analysis of Apptronik’s Apollo humanoid robot, focusing on its modular design for logistics, current pilot deployment status, and the realistic barriers to entry for the Indian market.

Unitree Robotics leverages its quadruped manufacturing scale to launch the H1 and G1 humanoid robots. While the H1 offers high-speed performance for research, the G1 targets education at a fraction of the cost. This article analyzes their technical specs, verified pricing, and the realities of importing them into India.

An evidence-based assessment of Figure AI’s Figure 01 and Figure 02 humanoids, analyzing BMW and Amazon pilot deployments, technical specifications, and the lack of commercial availability in India as of 2024.

A technical audit of Tesla's humanoid robot programme from Gen 1 prototypes to Gen 2 production candidates, evaluating hardware progress, deployment status, and market availability.

An analysis of how the Wassenaar Arrangement and US EAR regulations impact the global robotics supply chain, specifically focusing on dual-use technologies, import licensing in India, and the financial friction affecting Indian integrators.

An analysis of ISO 10218, ISO 13482, and collaborative robot safety protocols, examining their application in Indian manufacturing and service sectors with reference to compliant hardware and regulatory frameworks.

An analysis of how the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act classifies robotics hardware and software, the compliance costs for manufacturers, and the implications for Indian robotics exporters entering the EU market.

A factual breakdown of the Drone (Management) Rules 2021, covering classification, licensing, the Digital Sky Platform, and compliance requirements for Indian operators.

An evidence-based review of venture capital inflows into India's robotics sector, prioritizing deployed hardware over concept announcements, with a focus on Sequoia, Accel, and Blume capital allocation.
Humanoid launches, deployments, funding and India-focused coverage - in one place.






Humanoid robotics is one of the most exciting fields in tech - and also one of the noisiest. We cover what is shipping, what it costs, and how it actually behaves in the real world. Especially in India.
