The global race to put robots in homes has created an explosion of innovation, and here’s a breakdown of what’s arriving—and how fast.
New Demo by UCR Showcases Moby Robot’s Robust Locomotion
In a striking new demonstration, the University of California, Riverside (UCR) has unveiled Moby, a humanoid robot whose smooth, stable locomotion sets a new bar for real-world readiness. Powered by a sophisticated simulation-to-reality (sim2real) training pipeline built atop NVIDIA’s Isaac ecosystem, Moby is not just another lab prototype, it’s built for the real world.
The Operating System of the Humanoid Home
In 2031, it’s no longer remarkable for a household to run on five or more humanoid robots. From childcare to eldercare, from security to meal prep, machines are quietly handling the work that used to consume our time, energy, and attention.
Humanoids are everywhere, but they don’t speak the same language. Each one runs on a different system, with its own app, routines, and update cycle. That’s not just inefficient — it’s unsustainable.
Figure AI Accelerates Timeline for In-Home Humanoid Robot Testing
