An objective review of solid-state LiDAR, ToF, and stereo depth sensors. Focusing on shipping hardware, Indian pricing, and deployment realities.

An analysis of Pi, RT-2, and Groot models, grading claims by shipping hardware and pilot deployments with a focus on India's readiness and pricing landscape.

An analysis of simulation environments like NVIDIA Isaac Sim and MuJoCo in bridging the gap between digital training and physical deployment, focusing on current adoption rates, hardware requirements, and relevance to the Indian robotics ecosystem.

An evidence-based analysis of RL deployment in robotic systems, distinguishing between simulated demos and shipping hardware with a focus on Indian market entry.

An analysis of imitation learning techniques, focusing on teleoperation, demonstrations, and behaviour cloning, with a specific look at current hardware availability and the Indian market context.

An evidence-based assessment of RT-2, Octo, and OpenVLA, distinguishing between research breakthroughs and deployable hardware in the Indian market. This article grades claims by hardware shipment and pilot deployment status.

An evidence-based assessment of the Defence Research and Development Organisation's robotics portfolio. This analysis distinguishes between fully operational combat Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and conceptual humanoid prototypes, evaluating lab capabilities, deployment status, and the feasibility of Indian defence robotics procurement.

A grounded assessment of humanoid robotics research at IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, and IISc Bangalore. Focuses on prototype capabilities versus commercial availability, hardware constraints, and the path to deployment in India.

Honda's ASIMO program retired in 2022, but its engineering legacy underpins today's autonomous bipedal robots. We analyze ASIMO's technical achievements, limitations, and its influence on the current wave of humanoids entering pilot deployments.
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.
