A technical review of strain-wave gearing used in industrial manipulators and humanoid platforms, covering operating principles, specification limits, supply chain realities, and landed cost estimates for the Indian market.

A technical assessment of battery architectures in humanoid robots, evaluating power density, thermal management, and runtime claims across shipping hardware, pilot deployments, and manufacturer specifications.

An evidence-based assessment of the Shadow Hand, Allegro Hand, and Inspire Hand, grading commercial dexterous manipulators by shipped hardware, pilot deployments, and technical specifications. India availability and landed cost estimates are included.

A technical assessment of quasi-direct-drive (QDD) actuators, their compliance mechanics, control requirements, and current deployment status across shipping hardware, pilot programs, and manufacturer announcements. Includes India market availability and landed cost estimates.

A grounded assessment of event camera hardware, pilot deployments, and software ecosystems for robotics, with India availability and landed cost estimates.

A grounded evaluation of simultaneous localisation and mapping pipelines, covering feature-based tracking, visual-inertial odometry, and modern map representations. Claims are graded by shipping hardware, pilot deployments, and vendor announcements, with explicit notes on India availability and approximate landed costs.

A hardware-first assessment of commercial tactile skin technologies, grading GelSight, BioTac, and capacitive touch arrays by shipping status, pilot integration, and research prototypes, with India market availability and landed cost estimates.

A hardware-graded review of solid-state LiDAR, Time-of-Flight, and stereo depth cameras currently shipping for humanoid robot perception. Covers spec sheet verification, deployment reality, compute constraints, and India landed-cost estimates.

A grounded assessment of robotics foundation models—RT-2, Physical Intelligence’s Pi, and Stanford’s Groot—graded by hardware integration, pilot deployment maturity, and India market availability. No hype, only shipping hardware, factory demos, and verifiable reporting.
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.
